About the author
Li Guobin is an author about whom little public information is available. Within our catalogue, only one work by this name is currently listed, Zhonghua Jiudian (A Compendium of Chinese Wine), commonly classified under food and gastronomy. Judging from its subject, the book centres on Chinese wine culture, covering the history of alcoholic drinks, brewing methods, varieties and drinking customs, and thus belongs to the genre of writings on food culture. Li Guobin's approach appears to favour a knowledge-based survey and the popularisation of traditional culture, suitable for general readers interested in wine culture. As his dates of birth and death, nationality, educational background and writing career cannot be verified, this note makes no inferences and offers only an objective introduction based on the available work; a fuller account of his life and writings awaits further material.
