Qu You

Qu You (Chinese: 瞿佑; pinyin: Qú Yòu; Wade–Giles: Ch'ü Yu, 13411427), courtesy name Zongji (宗吉) and self-nicknamed Cunzhai (存齋, "Reading Studio of Existence"), was a Chinese novelist who lived in the Ming dynasty, and whose works inspired a new genre fantasy works with political subtext of the Qing dynasty.

Born in Qiantang (錢塘, now Hangzhou), Qu You was famous as an adolescent poet. He became a teacher-official (教諭) in Lin'an (臨安), then promoted to be the Head of Secretary (長史) of the Zhou (周) Kingdom. But at the height of his career, he was jailed for ten years.

After his release in 1425, he worked as a tutor in the household of Lord of Ying State (英國公). He was reinstated as an official, but he resigned shortly, never returning to the world of politics again, in action. His works, though entertaining, have undertone that expresses concerns and discontent that he had with politics of the Ming Empire.

Works

gollark: It was brought on as a worm on USBs somehow.
gollark: Stuxnet wasn't done remotely. They chained together a ridiculous number of zero days to attack the computers the centrifuges were physically connected to and the PLCs.
gollark: It might be fun to use it to generate *maximally* right/left-wing text.
gollark: I would assume that would be a fairly easy machine learning classifier thingy, at least if you had enough text of known wingness to train it on.
gollark: I'm sure *someone* will end up buying it anyway.
