About the author

Active in the 16th century, Jingsuo Wu is credited in library and public-domain catalog records as the author or compiler of Guose Tianxiang (also known as 國色天香), a Chinese story collection associated with the Ming period.

Reliable biographical detail appears to be very limited. From the sources I could confirm, he is better documented through the work linked to his name than through a clear personal biography, so details such as his birthplace, exact dates, and broader career are uncertain.

Because the record is so thin, he is best introduced as a historical literary figure connected to late imperial Chinese fiction rather than as a fully documented author with a well-known life story.
