Zhong Zhenlü (1759-1822) was a scholar-official of the Jiaqing period. He passed his jinshi examination in 1808 and subsequently served as a county magistrate in Guandong province. Zhong and his brother Zhenkui (1750-?) were both recognised for their literary talent, especially in writing Chinese operas. Zhenkui is known to be the first person to adapt the novel Dream of the Red Chamber into Chinese opera.
