Ting Yue Lou (traditional Chinese: 聽月樓; simplified Chinese: 听月楼; lit. 'Listening to the Moon Tower')[1] is a Chinese caizi jiaren romance novel by an anonymous writer from the Jiaqing era (1796-1820) of the Qing dynasty. The novel consists of 20 chapters.[2] An early printed edition of the novel dating to 1815 is now preserved in the Zhejiang University.
Some of the later 19th-century editions of the novel feature illustrations by the famed Chinese illustrator Wu Youru (呉友如; 1840–1894).[3]
