Jun Yue

Born in 1766 in Linchuan, Jiangxi, this Qing-era author is commonly identified in library records as Yue Jun and in Chinese sources as Le Jun (乐钧). Chinese reference sources describe him as a man of letters who studied successfully, entered the Guozijian after being recommended in 1789, and later served as a tutor in a princely household.

He is best known for Ershi Lu (Ear Feast Records), a collection of classical Chinese stories. Chinese literary references date the work to 1794 and describe it as a large gathering of short tales about spirits, immortals, odd happenings, and scenes from ordinary society, often mixing the supernatural with sharp observation of real life.

Some biographical details vary across sources, including whether he died in 1814 or 1816. A clear modern portrait could not be confirmed from the sources I found, so no profile image is included here.
