Li Qingchen was a renowned classical Chinese novelist in the Late Qing period. His representative work, Strange Tales From the Intoxicated Tea Studio (Zui Cha Zhi Guai), is the only extant collection of classical Chinese short stories in the history of Tianjin. By systematically analyzing Li Qingchen’ s publishing activities against the backdrop of his era, this paper finds that his publications not only vividly portray the cultural and social landscape of Tianjin during the Late Qing but also reflect his adherence to tradition and his innovation as a traditional scholar facing tremendous social change.
