About the author
Yingfu is an author about whom limited public information is available; three works are currently confirmed under this name, all focusing on urban culture and history. Judging from titles such as The New Provincial Capital, Water Dragon Chant: A City's Gratitude for Its Water Source, and The Erqi Tower: A Spiritual Portrait of a City, Yingfu's writing consistently centers on a single city, attending to changes in urban administration, the everyday memories carried by public facilities, and the spiritual symbolism embodied in landmark architecture. The works are commonly classified as cultural and historical reading, with a style that uses concrete objects as threads to connect a city's historical development with collective feeling, combining documentary detail with cultural interpretation. Since biographical information about the author remains unavailable, readers may approach these works directly to appreciate how water, towers, and other everyday and symbolic objects become entry points into urban narrative.
