Feng Menglong was not only an active figure in the late Ming publishing market, compiling folk song anthologies, vernacular fiction, and dramas, while serveing as both an author (including editor) and a publisher, but he was also a Confucian scholar deeply versed in the Chunqiu, holding the dual role of historian. Scholars have explored the influence of Feng Menglong’s identity as a historian on his editorial activities, as well as the historical consciousness and political concerns reflected in his works. However, little research has been done on the concrete impact of his dual identities as both literati and Confucian scholar on the compilation of his diverse works.
