Tags
Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Enthusiasts and professionals with a strong interest in keeping and breeding golden coin turtles
- Readers seeking a deeper understanding of Chinese turtle culture and folkloric symbolism
- Professionals engaged in related ecological conservation or market research
- Students or teachers looking for a reliable, systematic source of reptile-keeping knowledge
Not a good fit for
- Readers expecting a highly narrative or strongly literary work about animals
- Readers with only a casual curiosity about turtles who seek light, general reading
Reading tips
- Focus on the chapters on the golden coin turtle's history, culture, and symbolism for a humanistic perspective beyond husbandry techniques
- Use the identification and husbandry knowledge alongside a critical view of current market information and popular claims
- Treat the book as a reference work, consulting relevant chapters as needed rather than reading linearly from cover to cover

About the author
Li Guisheng is an author about whom limited public information is available; details of his identity, dates of birth and death, and nationality are not clearly recorded. Judging from the three works held in the collection, he has long focused on the farming techniques of turtles and tortoises. His books include Healthy Turtle Farming, The King of Turtles: The Golden Coin Turtle, and Turtle and Tortoise Farming Science. These works cover healthy farming methods, a dedicated introduction to the prized golden coin turtle, and a systematic treatment of turtle and tortoise farming, and are commonly classified under agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries. Aimed at practical farming, they combine technical guidance with breed knowledge and can serve as references for farmers and enthusiasts. Because biographical material is lacking, his writing background and academic experience cannot be described in detail; his direction can only be identified from these works as centering on turtle and tortoise farming.
Chen Xingqian is a Chinese author about whom little public information is available. What is known is that his work falls within the field of agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry, and that one of his titles is held in the collection: The King of Turtles: The Golden Coin Turtle. Judging from the title and its subject category, the book likely focuses on this particular turtle species, covering its physical characteristics, habits, keeping and management, or practical points of breeding. It appears to be aimed at general readers and practitioners interested in turtle keeping and agricultural techniques. Since no public records of the author's life, education, or research focus are available, his professional background cannot be determined; the specialized nature of the topic, however, suggests a degree of attention to and familiarity with the keeping of this kind of turtle. Overall, Chen Xingqian's writing leans toward practical introductions to specific species, emphasizing useful knowledge and hands-on guidance rather than broad popular-science surveys, making it a fairly specialized subject within agriculture and forestry publications.
Chen Qinpei is a Chinese author about whom limited public information is available; the identity details currently confirmed come mainly from one signed work. His representative work is The King of Turtles: The Golden Coin Turtle, a book classified under agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry that deals with the captive breeding and popular science of this turtle species. Judging by the subject matter, the author focuses on practical knowledge of breeding specialty aquatic or ornamental turtles, writing for breeders and enthusiasts and emphasizing practical guidance and species introduction rather than theoretical discussion or literary expression. Because further public records of his career and publications are lacking, his educational background, professional training, and writing trajectory cannot be fully outlined, and with only one known work it is not yet possible to present a stable writing style or overall influence. Readers may regard him as an author in the field of agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry who writes for practical readers on a single breeding topic.
