Su Xuelin was a Chinese writer and scholar. She was originally known as Su Xiaomei, but in 1919 changed her name to Su Mei with a style name of Xuelin and became known with this name. Her ancestral home was in Taiping, Anhui (now Huangshan District, Huangshan City). She was born in Rui’an, Zhejiang and was known for her bold academic ideas, and believed that India-China communications began in the Warring States Period, and ‘*Chuci*’ and the ancient philosophers at that time were all under the influence of India.
