Shen Congwen
Shen Congwen's career as a scholarly writer, beginning after 1949, has received relatively little critical attention, but the works he produced in this period of more than thirty years are still notable. Shen was able to make significant contributions to the field of Chinese art history without any formal education past primary school. Five out the thirty-two volumes of "The Complete Works of Shen Congwen" are devoted to his later scholarly work.
