About the author

Lü Lü is an author about whom little public information is currently available. The author's representative work, Yishu Huantong (roughly, "A Connected Survey of Yi Numerology"), is classified under Eastern philosophy. Judging from its title, the book may explore the imagery, numbers, and philosophical meanings of the Yi (Book of Changes), attempting to connect the numerical concepts of traditional Yi learning and to investigate the relationships among hexagram lines, numbers, and philosophical ideas. Writing of this kind generally requires familiarity with classical texts as well as a degree of abstract and speculative ability, so that the author can propose an interpretive framework within established categories. Because only one work by this author is held in the collection, the author's life background, scholarly lineage, and full range of writings remain unclear, and any specific influence among scholars or readers awaits further evidence. On the basis of the available information, Lü Lü's writing tends toward the organization and interpretation of traditional philosophy and may be of interest to readers concerned with Yi learning and Eastern philosophy. More material is needed to complete the picture of the author and any later work.
