Luo Guanzhong

Died in 1400

Almost nothing is known for certain about Luo Guanzhong, according to Britannica. Born around 1330, perhaps in Taiyuan, in Shanxi, he is said to have died around 1400, perhaps in Hangzhou; other historians have him born in Dongping, in Shandong, and recent research places his birth around 1315. His courtesy name was Guanzhong, and he also signed as Huhai sanren. Tradition attributes to him several historical narratives and the shaping, after Shi Nai'an, of another great novel of the canon. Some have supposed that two men bore his name.
