The collection was compiled by Qian Qianyi 錢謙益 (1582-1664), courtesy name Shouzhi 受之, style Shanghu 尚湖, Muzhai 牧齋, Jiangyunlou Zhuren 絳雲樓主人, Mengsou 蒙叟, Dongjian Laoren 東澗老人, Yushan 虞山, or Zengbo 宗伯. He hailed from Changshu 常熟 in the province of Nan-Zhili 南直隸 (today part of Suzhou 蘇州, Jiangsu). He is known for his literary collections Liechao shiji 列朝詩集, Chuxue ji 初學集, Youxue ji 有學集, Toubi ji 投筆集, Kuhai ji 苦海集 and Jujiu ji 吾炙集, as well as the book catalogue Jiangyunlou shumu 絳雲樓書目.
The biographical collection has a length of 12 juan and was finished in 1626. Each fascicle is dedicated to one person. The book treats the lives and deeds of Han Lin'er 韓林兒 (Song Xiaomingwang 宋小明王), Guo Zixing 郭子興 (Chuyangwang 滁陽王), Xu Shouhui 徐壽輝, Chen Youliang 陳友諒, Ming Yuzhen 明玉珍, Zhang Shicheng 張士誠, Fang Guozhen 方國珍 , Li Siqi 李思齊, Köke Temür 擴廓帖木兒 (Ch. Kuokuo Tiemu'er, d. 1375), Naγaču (Ch. Nahachu 納哈出, d. 1388), Chen Youding 陳友定, and He Zhen 何真.
The book was based on many different sources, from the official dynastic history Yuanshi 元史 to veritable records (shilu 實錄), literary writings, notes and stele inscriptions.
The compilers of the imperial series Siku quanshu rated Qian's book as too lengthy and not consistent enough, particularly because Qian adopted sources without critically elimination their contradictions. The book is found in the series Shiyuan congshu 適園叢書. In 1982, The Zhonghua Shuju Press 中華書局 published a modern, punctuated edition.
