Portrait of 阿菩

About the author

A Pu is a Chinese web-fiction author known mainly for otherworld-continent fantasy. Public information about him is limited, and no systematic account of his life has been disclosed. Judging from the seven works held in the collection, his writing draws chiefly on the mythological resources of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. His representative works include The Password of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and its sequels, volumes two through five, as well as the complete five-volume collection. These works use the geography, strange beasts, and mythological genealogy of the Classic of Mountains and Seas as material to build an imagined otherworld continent, combining adventure, exploration, and fantasy elements into a fairly consistent series. Because the author's personal experience, nationality, and dates of birth and death are not clearly recorded, no speculation is offered here; the note is confined to a brief description of his subject matter and style so that readers may gain a sense of his creative profile.
