About This Novel
Liu Zongyuan (773 AD - November 28, 819 AD), courtesy name Zihou, was a Han nationality from Hedong (now the Yongji area of Yuncheng, Shanxi Province). He was one of the eight great writers, philosophers, essayists and thinkers of the Tang Dynasty. He was known as "Liu Hedong" and "Mr. Hedong" in the world. Because he died as governor of Liuzhou, he was also called "Liu Liuzhou". Liu Zongyuan was called "Han Liu" together with Han Yu, "Liu Liu" with Liu Yuxi, and "Wang Meng Wei Liu" with Wang Wei, Meng Haoran and Wei Yingwu. Liu Zongyuan wrote more than 600 poems and essays in his lifetime, and his achievements in writing were greater than those in poetry. There are nearly a hundred parallel prose pieces. The prose is highly argumentative, sharp and satirical. The travel notes describe the scenery, and many of them are based on "The Collection of Mr. Hedong". His representative works include "River Dwelling", "Jiang Snow" and "The Fisherman".
