pseud. Langzi Mo

Records available through major public-domain catalogs identify Langzi Mo as a pseudonymous Chinese author associated with the name 墨浪子. The work most clearly linked to this pen name is 西湖佳話 (Xi Hu Jia Hua), a collection of stories connected with West Lake in Hangzhou.

Because the author is listed under a pen name and biographical documentation appears to be very limited, reliable personal details such as dates, birthplace, and historical background are not easy to confirm from the sources available here. What does stand out is the lasting circulation of the book itself, which has been preserved and shared through public-domain libraries.

That makes this author interesting in a special way: not because we know a great deal about the individual, but because the writing has outlived the person. For modern readers and listeners, the name Langzi Mo survives as a link to a tradition of Chinese narrative literature shaped by place, legend, and memory.
