Dongshanyunzhongdaoren

Dongshanyunzhongdaoren, also shown in Chinese as 東山雲中道人, appears to be the credited author name for 唐鍾馗平鬼傳 (Tang Zhong Kui ping gui zhuan). Reliable catalog-style sources available here connect that name with this work, but they do not provide a clear personal biography, dates, or a well-documented life story.

The book itself is generally described as a Chinese fantasy or ghost novel centered on Zhong Kui, the famous spirit-queller of Chinese tradition. Public-domain library records suggest the work is likely from the late imperial period, though the exact authorship behind the pen name is not easy to confirm.

Because so little verifiable biographical information is readily available, it is safest to treat Dongshanyunzhongdaoren as an obscure or pseudonymous literary name rather than assume details that may not be true. For readers, the intrigue lies less in a documented life and more in the lively supernatural storytelling preserved under that name.
