Qiáoyún Shānrén 樵雲山人 (“Mountain Man of the Woodcutter’s Cloud”) is the pen name of Liú Zhāng 劉璋, the Qīng author of Fēihuā Yàn Xiǎng 飛花艷想 (KR4k0109). The identification of Qiáoyún Shānrén with Liú Zhāng is provided by the bibliographic tiyao note embedded in the source text. The author’s preface to Fēihuā Yàn Xiǎng is dated to the eighth month (chrysanthemum month, júyuè 菊月) of the year jǐyǒu 己酉, corresponding to 1669 (Kāngxī 8).

No reliable biographical information about Liú Zhāng beyond this pen name and the dating of the preface is available. Multiple individuals named Liú Zhāng 劉璋 appear in CBDB, but none can be confidently identified with the author of this novel. No CBDB id is assigned here pending further research.
