About the author
Ma Heng was an important scholar in the fields of Chinese epigraphy and cultural relics studies in modern China, and his writings have had a lasting influence on these disciplines. Four of his works are included here, spanning general surveys, diaries, and correspondence. Among them, An Introduction to Chinese Epigraphy and Ma Heng on Epigraphy are known for systematically organizing knowledge of epigraphy, reflecting solid grounding in historical sources and a clear, well-structured narrative style. Ma Heng's Diary: 1948–1955 records daily life and observations from a particular period in plain, unadorned prose, while Correspondence between Wang Guowei and Ma Heng documents his exchanges with contemporary scholars. Because public information is limited, details of his life are largely unavailable, but the works above show that his writing combines scholarship with readability and is often classified as history reading and miscellaneous prose, suitable for readers interested in epigraphy and modern scholarly sources.
