Shao Xunmei (Chinese: 邵洵美; Shanghainese: Zau Sinmay; 1906–1968)[1] was a Chinese poet and publisher.[2] He was a contributing writer for T'ien Hsia Monthly,[3] and also was the owner of Modern Sketch.[4] He originated from Shanghai.[5] Jonathan Hutt wrote in Monstre Sacré: The Decadent World of Sinmay Zau that "For many, Shao was not simply inspired by the Occident but rather was of it" and that his lack of awareness of "the Chinese literary scene" distinguished him from his colleagues.[1] On some occasions he used the name Hao Wen (浩文).[6]
