Also known as
Puru, Pu Xinyu, P'u Hsin-yü, Pu Ru
Xinyu Pu is one name form associated with Puru, more commonly rendered as Pu Xinyu or P'u Hsin-yü in authority records. Born in 1896 and deceased in 1963, he was a Chinese painter, calligrapher, and poet working within the tradition of Chinese painting. He belonged to the Aisin Gioro clan, the imperial family of the Qing dynasty, and later taught fine arts at National Taiwan Normal University. His documented names also include Han Yutang and Xishanyishi, while authority files preserve several additional romanizations. These variants matter because museum, library, and auction records may describe the same artist differently. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with Chinese paintings and calligraphic works. Establishing that a work and its documentation refer to the same historical artist is therefore an essential first step when researching, cataloguing, or appraising material attributed to him.

Common works and media
Auction and appraisal contexts are most likely to place works associated with Puru in Chinese painting or calligraphy categories. His authority record also identifies him as a poet, but the collected source pack does not establish particular painted subjects, formats, named series, edition practices, or print production. Those details should be determined from the individual object and its documentation.
Market and appraisal context
Works associated with Puru may be catalogued under Pu Xinyu, P'u Hsin-yü, Pu Ru, Xinyu Pu, or another documented romanization. That variation makes accurate entity matching a central part of market research. The work type—particularly whether an object is classified as Chinese painting or calligraphy—also determines which auction records provide meaningful comparisons. The collected sources establish the artist's identity and practices but do not provide accessible lot-level descriptions or verified realized prices. Any appraisal should therefore examine the specific object and compare it with relevant public sales using complete catalogue descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, and attribution language rather than relying on the artist name alone.

Value drivers
- Correct identity resolution across Puru, Pu Xinyu, P'u Hsin-yü, Pu Ru, and other documented name variants
- Classification of the object as painting, calligraphy, or another documented work type
- Comparison with relevant public auction records when complete lot descriptions, sale dates, and realized prices are available
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack contains no accessible major-auction-house biography or lot-level results, so it does not support price trends, record prices, or predictions.
- The Appraisily artist-page request was rate-limited during collection; individual auction records, realized prices, and lot descriptions were not available for verification.
- The artist appears under numerous Chinese and romanized name forms, making identity and attribution checks especially important.
