"It is generally believed that Wang Shih-fu wrote the first four parts and Kwang Han-ch'ing wrote the Continuation, but some say it is vice versa. And there are some people who hold either that Wang or Kwang alone did the complete thing ... The theme is based upon a short story written by Yuan Cheng, a poet of the eighth century."--p. xxxviii.
