Xie Ming is an author about whom little public information is available. Four of his works are currently known, focusing on history, essays and miscellaneous writings, and literary appreciation. His representative works, Broken Jade of the Three Kingdoms and Broken Pearls of the Three Kingdoms, draw on the history of the Three Kingdoms, approaching figures and events from small details and offering interpretation and commentary. Broken Jade of the Investiture of the Gods: Interpreting the Investiture of the Gods turns to the supernatural novel Investiture of the Gods, tracing its storyline and character portraits. The book Runzhi Kaihui, classified as essays and miscellaneous writings, shows that his writing is not confined to historical subjects. Overall, Xie Ming's works are mostly grounded in classical literature, emphasizing close reading and the expression of personal reflections in a plain, essay-like style, and are suited to general readers interested in the stories of the Three Kingdoms and the Investiture of the Gods and in traditional literature. As biographical information is lacking, his background and writing career remain to be further verified.
