Gao Lishui is an author about whom limited public information is available: details such as nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded, and no English name is known. According to library holdings, Gao Lishui has one work to date, Chinese Traditional Culture, which is classified under the exam category, suggesting that the writing is related to exam preparation or the popularization of traditional cultural knowledge. Thematically, the author organizes and presents aspects of Chinese traditional culture, most likely for readers preparing for examinations or seeking a systematic study of traditional culture, with an emphasis on summarizing and presenting key points of knowledge.
