Xiaoqing Cheng [1893-1976] is considered the Grand Master of XXth-century Chinese detective fiction; before World War I,
he translated Arthur Conan Doyle's tales of Sherlock Holmes into classical Chinese and then into vernacular Chinese.

and the tales were a combination of Holmesian deduction and the conventions of traditional (often sensationalist) Chinese fiction.
