高玉琮

Gao Yucong is an author about whom limited public information is available. Two works can currently be confirmed: Xiangsheng Da Cidian (A Grand Dictionary of Crosstalk) and Dapeng (Partners). Their common categories involve folk literature and miscellaneous prose. The dictionary is a reference work devoted to crosstalk, a traditional Chinese folk performing art, organizing entries on terminology, figures, and works, while Dapeng leans toward miscellaneous prose and concerns the relationship between crosstalk partners. These two works suggest that Gao Yucong's interests center on folk literature, especially the documentation and discussion of crosstalk, combining the systematic and informative nature of a reference book with the readability of essay writing. Because details such as birth and death dates, place of origin, and professional career are not clearly recorded, no further biographical information can be provided; readers may come to know his work in folk literature and quyi-related subjects mainly through the above titles.
