AB - There are plenty of learned female writers remain unknown in the history of Chinese literature. In general, this is because either their works have not been kept or the authorship is obscure due to the use of pseudo name. The work, in the form of tanci, titled A Legend of Unusual Chastity is attributed to “Wuhu Yishi” but no one knows who this author is. Thus, it receives no attention from the academics at all. By comparing the preface of A Legend of Unusual Chastity and a prolog written by “Junli Wanyun nüshi”, some identical contents are found in both texts. Together with other textual evidences, the author of this article considers that “Wuhu Yishi” is a pseudo name of “Junli Wanyun nüshi”, and “Junli Wanyun nüshi” actually is an alias of Jin Fangquan. With reference to those materials collected from local gazetteers, genealogy and bibliographic treatises, plus some uncollected work of Jin Fangquan, the author of this article analyzes the contents and beliefs in A Legend of Unusual Chastity, hoping that it can help us better understand the writing intention of this female writer and her narrated life story.
