Shen Fu

Shen Fu

Shen Fu (Traditional Chinese:沈復; Simplified Chinese:沈复; Hanyu Pinyin:Shěn Fù, 1763-1810?) was a Chinese writer.

He wrote one of the best known descriptions of everyday life during the Ch'ing Dynasty, entitled Six Records of a Floating Life. In this text, Shen Fu describes the gentle personality of his wife, Chen Yun, and his love for her. He also chronicles the rejection of Chen Yun by her parents and her untimely death. Shen Fu was a government clerk, a "yamen" private secretary. More broadly, he also seems to have been a painter and an occasional trader or businessman, although he failed at these attempts.cite journal | author=Tseng Yuho| title=Women Painters of the Ming Dynasty| journal=Artibus Asiae| year=1993| volume=53| issue=1/2| url=http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0004-3648%281993%2953%3A1%2F2%3C249%3AWPOTMD%3E2.0.CO%3B2-N| pages=249–259| doi=10.2307/3250517]
