About the author

Chen Suzhen is a researcher of ancient Chinese history and political culture. Public information about him is limited, and his scholarly profile is mainly reflected in five works held in the library. He has long focused on court institutions, political operation, and political culture during the Han, Wei, and Jin periods. From the Weiyang Palace to the Luoyang Palace: A Study of Palace Security Systems in the Han, Wei, and Jin Dynasties examines institutional change through the lens of palace space, while The Spring and Autumn Annals and the "Way of Han": A Study of Politics and Political Culture in the Two Han Dynasties explores the formation of Han ruling ideology through the interaction between classical learning and political ideas. He also contributed to the translation of The Great Enterprise: The History of the Qing Dynasty (Revised Edition) and wrote Explorations in the History of the Two Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Studies in Ancient Chinese Political Culture. His writing combines institutional history with intellectual history, is grounded in solid historical sources, and addresses clear research questions, making it suitable for readers interested in ancient political institutions and political culture.
