Tu Lien-che (Chinese: 杜聯喆; pinyin: Dù Liánzhé) (1904–1994), sometimes credited also to incorporate her married name Fang, was a distinguished bibliographer and historian of China.

Early life and education

Born in Yangliuqing as the daughter of scholar and calligrapher Du Tong [zh], she met Fang Chao-ying while they were both students at Yenching University, where she earned her degree in history. She would become Fang's wife and lifelong collaborator.

Career

Key works on which she worked included Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period and the Dictionary of Ming Biography.[1][2] Of her single-authored scholarship, her work clarifying the origins of the Grand Council was especially well-regarded.[3] Her younger brother Du Lianqi [zh] was well known for his writings on theatre.
