黄挺

Huang Ting is an author focused on the history and culture of the Chaoshan region. Public information about him is limited, and his nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded. Judging from the three works held in the collection, his writing centers on Chaoshan culture, offering both an overall survey of its cultural origins and closer studies of specific social structures. The Origins of Chaoshan Culture traces the development of regional culture, while the volume in the Chaoshan Studies series on kinship and society in Chaoshan since the sixteenth century examines the relationship between clan organization and social change from the Ming and Qing periods onward. The topics are solidly grounded and reflect a clear orientation toward local history and regional studies. Three Conversations on Chaoshan Culture, presented in dialogue form, shows the author's attempt to combine scholarly discussion with readability. Overall, Huang Ting's writings draw on local sources and social realities, are plain in language, and emphasize conceptual clarity and documentary support, making them useful for readers interested in Chaoshan regional culture and kinship history and providing a basic Chinese-language reference for research in related fields.
