THIS STUDY SURVEYS the traditional opinions concerning the authorship of the Hsi-ching tsa-chi, examining briefly the arguments in support of Hsiao Pen (A.D. ca. 495-550), Ko Hung (A.D. 303-363), Liu Hsin (ca. 45 B.C.-A.D. 23), and Wu Chun (A.D. 469-520). A hypothetical sketch of the compiler is then drawn based upon the contents of the work itself. Thereafter a study of the diachronic plot development of the Wang Chao-chun story indicates that the version in the Hsi-ching tsa-chi must date from the period A.D. 500-525. Since this period approximates the productive years of Hsiao Pen, his life and milieu are examined in greater detail, and he is compared to the aforementioned sketch of a likely author. It is concluded that the Hsi-ching tsa-chi was a collection of sundry articles concerning the Former Han dynasty collected ca. A.D. 520 and that Hsiao Pen is the probable compiler
