Tu Lien-che
Tu Lien-che (Chinese: 杜聯喆; pinyin: Dù Liánzhé) (1904–1994), sometimes credited also to incorporate her married name Fang, was a distinguished bibliographer and historian of China.
Early life and education[edit]
Born in Yangliuqing as the daughter of scholar and calligrapher Du Tong, she met Fang Chao-ying while they were both students at Yenching University, where she earned her degree in history. She would become Fang's wife and lifelong collaborator.
Career[edit]
Key works on which she worked included Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period and the Dictionary of Ming Biography.[1][2] Of her single-authored scholarship, her work clarifying the origins of the Grand Council was especially well-regarded.[3] Her younger brother Du Lianqi was well known for his writings on theatre.
