On a lakeside stone terrace under a rising moon, one person sits with their back turned at a low table holding a brush pot, a vase and a blank sheet; a pink-flowering branch crosses the sky, a lit boat floats on the lake, and a pagoda stands on a far hill.
This group holds people tied to literature: writers of poetry and prose; cultural personas shaped by verse, drama, fiction and storytelling, most of them fictional or known only from legend; and real people remembered because someone else wrote a famous piece about them. The first are authors; the other two are the people written about.
