About the author
Ye Zhao, usually identified as Zhao Ye, was a Chinese writer of the Eastern Han period. Modern reference works commonly place him around the 1st and early 2nd centuries CE, which matches the catalog label "active 40" used in some library records.
He is remembered above all for Wu Yue Chun Qiu (Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue), a historical narrative about the states of Wu and Yue. The book mixes political history, court intrigue, warfare, and memorable legendary episodes, which is one reason it has remained widely read long after its own era.
Reliable biographical details are scarce, and the surviving sources focus much more on his book than on his personal life. I couldn't confirm a suitable portrait image for this author from the sources I checked, so none is included here.
