Tan Yuanchun (譚元春/谭元春, 1586-1637) was a prolific late-Ming scholar from Hubei.[1][2] Tan Yuanchun's work remains as an important resource for modern scholars.[1][3] He was an influential and best-selling author critic.[1] Tan is known as one of the "Ming masters of close textual reading".[4]

From 1614 Tan Yuanchun collaborated with his friend Zhong Xing on a bestselling poetry anthology Gu shigui (Models of ancient poetry), published around 1617, in three colours, with Zhong's and Tan's comments differentiated by colour.[1][5] Tan Yuanchun's work remains as an important resource for modern scholars.[1][6]
