About the author

Qi Dongfang is a Chinese author writing mainly on archaeology and history. Public information about him is limited, and his nationality, birth year and educational background are not clearly recorded. Judging from the three works included here, his writing centers on Chinese archaeological discoveries and the Silk Road. The five-volume set Questions of the Deep Earth, Gazing at the Stars presents multi-volume content on archaeological themes; Flowers Dancing in the Tang Spring: Interpreting the Hejiacun Treasures focuses on the Tang-dynasty Hejiacun hoard and reads the objects together with the historical information behind them; and At the Archaeological Site: Ten Lectures on Silk Road Archaeology recounts archaeological observations along the Silk Road in a lecture-style format. These works are generally classified as history reading, and their prose turns fieldwork and artifact details into narratives accessible to general readers, combining information with readability. They suit readers interested in archaeology, Tang material culture and Silk Road history.
