qr Ye Shengtao Like Xia Mianzun featured earlier in this anthology, Ye Shengtao (also Ye Shaojun, 1894–1988) is a dedicated teacher, editor, and writer. In addition to many professional and family ties (Xia’s daughter was married to Ye’s son), these two distinguished writers also collaborated in the writing of Wenxin and Wenzhang jianghua. Ye was a founding member of the Literary Study Society (Wenxue yanjiu hui), which promoted the credo that literature exists for the sake of life. Accordingly, Ye emphasizes that it is important for a writer to have direct experiences with what he chooses to write about.
