The purpose of this site is to provide information about the tools and resources that are available in the study of vernacular fiction from the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Please note that all sources provided on the site are limited to those in English and Chinese. This is not meant to be a comprehensive list; rather, it is meant to provide an overview of the sources that I deem most useful. Should you have any suggestions or corrections to make, please feel free to leave me a message. Thank you!
