The character of Judge Dee is based on the historical Tang-dynasty magistrate Di Renjie (seventh century). Van Gulik first encountered Di Renjie while translating the eighteenth-century Chinese detective novel Dee Goong An in 1949, an experience that inspired him to create his own series of Judge Dee stories.A Dutch diplomat and accomplished scholar of sinology, Van Gulik drew extensively on his academic research in shaping his fiction and illustrated his own novels, adopting a distinctive woodblock-inspired style. Although The Chinese Bell Murders was written in 1949 and originally conceived for a Japanese and Chinese readership, it was first published in Tokyo only in 1955, and did not appear in English until Michael Joseph issued the present edition in 1958.Evers, p. 50.…
