As an anti-Qing activist, Zhang Huangyan (1620-1664) took part in the Zhejiang resistance movement for nineteen years during the Ming-Qing transition. His writings have been considered valuable historical sources because they not only provide significant records of the author's life but also contain many firsthand accounts of Southern Ming (1644-1662) history, especially narratives of the Lu (1645-1653) and Gui (Youngli, 1647-1661) regimes. However, the circulation of Zhang's works was very restricted in Qing limes. First, although Zhang intended to preserve his writings for posterity, a large number of his manuscripts were destroyed or lost in wars. Moreover, under the Qing literary inquisition, his collected works were subject to censorship and completely banned on account of their anti-Manchau standpoint. In fact, before the twentieth century, Zhang's writings did not have any opportunity of being published and the circulation of his manuscripts was restricted to scholars interested in the subject. Nonetheless, limited readership does not imply limited influence. On the contrary, despite prohibition, Zhang's narratives were frequently cited by historians of Southern Ming history. Since the eighteenth century, Zhang's works have been systemically compiled and edited by scholars such as Quan Zuwang (1705-1755), Ding Bing (1832-1899), and Fu Yili. Following the decline of the Qing dynasty, Zhang's writings gained its first publication in 1901 as a result of Zhang Binglin's (1869-1936) advocacy in the revolutionary movement and have been widely used for the study of Ming-Qing history ever since.
