Abstract
The subject of this little talk is the author of a novel entitled Flowers in the Mirror (镜花缘). His name is Li Ju-chen (李汝珍); and according to my calculation he was probably born about 1760 and died about 1830. He was a native of Peking: in 1782 his elder brother Li Ju-huang became an official in Haichou in the province of Kiangsu, and the family moved to Haichou where our author came in close contact with a number of southern scholars who apparently had much influence over his literary and intellectual development. The famous scholar Ling Ting-kan (1757–1809) was then residing in Haichou, and became his teacher in literature and phonetics. As far as we know, Li Ju-chen spent at least 23 years in the province of Kiangsu. It is not certain whether he and his family ever returned to Peking in later years.
