As an associate research fellow at Literature Institute of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, Chen has devoted his life mainly to collecting and studying of names of historical personages in the contemporary period of China. So far all the books he has published bear references to names and his researches. One book is a large collection of names of influential people active in the social life during the 1911 revolution. Another is about bynames used by Chinese communists in the CCPC history. What makes Chen Yutang a national celebrity in the circles of history, education and literature is a dictionary he first published in 1993 named A Dictionary of Names and Aliases of People in Modern Times of China.
