About the author
Project Gutenberg lists Five colors stone as the author of the Chinese text Eight Dwelling Places of Buddhist Immortals. The available catalog record confirms the work and identifies it as a Chinese-language title.
Beyond that attribution, I could not confirm reliable biographical details such as dates, birthplace, or a fuller literary career from the sources I found. Because the record is so sparse, it is safest to treat this as a minimally documented author name rather than fill in uncertain background.
What can be said with confidence is that the surviving work connected to this name is remembered for its historical setting and for themes of grief, devotion to family, and Buddhist immortality. For readers, that makes the author notable less for a well-preserved life story and more for the atmosphere and ideas carried by the text itself.
