I. INTrOduCTION 1. The Ben cao gang mu Project
This is the third volume of a project aiming at providing better access to the Ben cao gang mu (BCGM) 本草綱目, China’s great encyclopedia of pharmaceutical lore, first published in 1593 and designated a world cultural heritage text in 2012. In addition to the current volume, which focuses on identifying personal names mentioned and literary sources quoted in the BCGM, three others will complete the Dictionary of the Ben cao gang mu. They include the first volume, published in 2015, on “Chinese historical illness terminology,” and a second volume, published in 2016, tracing all “geographical and administrative designations” mentioned in connection with the more than 1,900 pharmaceutically usable substances listed in the BCGM. A fourth volume will offer a historical survey of the identifications of all pharmaceutical substances mentioned in the BCGM. The BCGM was composed over more than three decades from perhaps 1547 until 1580. Li Shizhen 李時珍 (1508–1593), who turned to his family tradition of medicine after failing the imperial exams required for entering the civil service, is traditionally named its sole author. In his preface, he mentions assistance provided by several family members. The sheer volume of about 1.6 million Chinese characters written to complete the fifty-one chapters of the BCGM suggests, though, the involvement of a team of collaborators exceeding the limited number of his family members. No information is available to identify the size of the team that collected all the data from a vast body of texts of all possible genres and wrote them down within a relatively short period. Li Shizhen was a practicing doctor and lived at the end of the Ming 明 dynasty. By his time, China had largely turned its back on much of the outside world (with the exception of neighboring inner Southeast Asia) and entered a period of insular9
10 ity. The Zheng He 鄭和 (1371–1433) voyages that had explored the world of the Indian Ocean were long over and most maritime contact forbidden. Nevertheless, the BCGM reflects an era during which immense amounts of information were freely available, yielding a work as large as the BCGM with its more than two thousand medicinal monographs and appendices. Li Shizhen and his coworkers excerpted data from the rich pharmaceutical literature of the previous 1,500 years and numerous other literary sources.1 In addition, Li Shizhen included pharmaceutical knowledge he had obtained from practitioners and other contemporary sources during his travels throughout the Chinese empire. The current volume focuses on the BCGM’s textual sources and the people associated with them. Possibly because of the then-prevalent lack of a standardized approach to citing previously published literary works, users of the BCGM may feel themselves confronted with an often confusing inhomogeneity of designations chosen by the BCGM authors to refer to their textual sources. Also, as our research has shown, the authors not only occasionally quoted one work under different names in different sections of the encyclopedia but also not infrequently assigned quotes to sources different from the ones where the original wording had been taken from and where they may be found today. Such faults severely impede scientific consultations of the BCGM. The uninformed user may be misled as to where a certain quote is from and at what time it found entrance into medical-pharmaceutical literature. Similarly, the BCGM authors referred to the same author differently in different sections, sometimes by providing only one of two, three, or four characters of the name, if not assigning an erroneous name to a quote in the first place. The many individuals mentioned, sometimes only once in an anecdote, sometimes as the authors of frequently quoted texts, may be sources of primary literary transmission, as when they describe their own research results and experience in their works. They may also be sources of a secondary literary transmission, when a later author relates a story or an experience associated with them. The broad gamut of persons named includes several well-known personalities and many for whom perhaps nothing more than the name is transmitted. Others can be identified by browsing the numerous bio- and bibliographical dictionaries available to Chinese studies today. With all of its book titles and personal names identified, the BCGM will be more easily used for scientific and other serious research than in the past. These names and titles will permit the reader to trace all statements on pharmaceutically used substances to their original literary sources, to orally transmitted anecdotes, and to the persons behind these sources and the transmission of their contents.

2. The Two Conflicting Origins of Chinese Medicine and Pharmaceutics The BCGM is the apex of the development of pharmaceutical literature in China. No other imperial-age (221 BCE–1911) work on materia medica prior to or following its publication gathered a comparable wealth of data on the therapeutic application of natural and human-made substances. The BCGM is the culmination of a materia medica literature that emerged at some time during the later Han 漢 dynasty and was expanded by numerous authors in the course of the following one and a half millennia. A conceptualized system of healing based on systematic physiology and pathology grounded in a secular natural science had evolved in China beginning with the second century BCE. Its earliest documentation may be found in the Huang Di nei jing 黃帝內經 text corpus, including the Su wen 素問 and the Ling shu 靈樞, and the Nan jing 難經, a work drawing on a pool of writings that also left its traces in the Huang Di nei jing texts. A fourth text, the Huang Di nei jing Tai su 黃帝內經太 素, is an annotated amalgamation, dating from the eighth century CE, of passages from the Su wen and the Ling shu. The ancient classics of Chinese medicine mention pharmaceutical treatments, but only in passing. They thus fail to reflect the rich heritage of knowledge of the therapeutic potential of hundreds of herbal, animal, mineral, and human-made substances available at the time of the compilation of the Su wen, the Ling shu, and the Nan jing. The absence of available pharmaceutical drug lore from the earliest texts of conceptualized Chinese medicine is evidence of a deep gap that has existed in Chinese therapeutic practice for the past two millennia. This gap separated a health care based on secular science from an approach based on a more pragmatic realism. The former was conceptualized and employed not so much to cure disease as to assist in preventing it. The latter acknowledged disease as a natural and inescapable facet of human life. It focused on the means provided by nature to heal all types of illness. Chinese conceptualized medicine started from the assumption, inherent in the doctrines of systematic correspondence, that natural laws exist. These laws rule all processes and phenomena in nature, independent of time, space, and persons, be they human or numinous. The doctrines evidencing this entirely secular and rational world view, explicitly setting it off from a belief in the workings of supernatural beings such as demons, spirits, gods, and ancestors, are known today as the yinyang doctrine and the doctrine of the five phases. They convey an assertion that the maintenance of health is possible, if not guaranteed, if one lives in accordance with the laws of nature. The yin-yang and five phases doctrines offer guidance on how to adapt to the laws of nature and how to survive in a natural environment that is characterized by a constant repetition of mutual overcoming and revenge, of destruction and rebirth. The political message of “law and order” implicit in early Chinese medicine stood in stark contrast to the notion underlying pharmaceutical therapy that disease—that
12 is, luan 亂, “disorder”—is basically unavoidable. One may use substances or physical exercises to strengthen one’s body, but matter is doomed to rot, and the human body cannot escape this fate. Hence, sooner or later disease is a natural aspect of human life. Pharmaceutical knowledge is designed mostly to treat manifest disease. No other realm in Chinese health care saw as dynamic an expansion as the literature on pharmaceutical recipes. Starting from fifty-two recipes preserved in the Ma wang dui 馬王堆 manuscripts of the second century BCE,2 a maximum of about sixty thousand was reached in the Pu ji fang 普濟方, “Recipes for Universal Benefit,” in the sixteenth century. For more than one thousand years, from the Han dynasties well into the Song 宋 dynasties, the two medical approaches, respectively based on the doctrines of systematic correspondence and on pharmaceutical knowledge, developed in parallel, with virtually no mutual recognition. A sole exception may be seen in the work of Zhang Ji 張機, around 200 CE. He remained isolated, though, in his attempts to explain the effects of pharmaceutical substances on the human body on the basis of the doctrines of systematic correspondence. Comprehensive attempts at including pharmaceutical knowledge in the secular science of systematic correspondence were initiated only beginning with the early twelfth century. Authors such as Kou Zongshi 寇宗奭 (fl. early twelfth c.) and Wang Haogu 王好古 (thirteenth c.) pioneered the introduction of a pharmacology of systematic correspondence into materia medica literature. Likewise, the names of Liu Wansu 劉完素 (1120–1200), Zhang Congzheng 張從正 (1156–1228), Li Gao 李 杲 (1180–1251), and Zhu Zhenheng 朱震亨 (1281–1358) are inseparably tied to the emergence of pharmacological schools pursuing different etiological notions related to the application of pharmaceutical therapy. The creative phase of a Chinese pharmacology based on the doctrines of systematic correspondence lost its momentum with the end of the Song–Jin 金–Yuan 元 era. Too many contradictions showed up between, on the one hand, the effects that a substance was supposed to have based on its parameters of flavor (wei 味) and thermoquality (qi 氣) and, on the other hand, the effects that practitioners observed in reality. The BCGM is the most voluminous example of a status quo eventually reached in materia medica literature. Hints at a theoretical explanation for the alleged therapeutic effects are found in quite a few substance entries, with references more often to the yin-yang than to the five phases doctrine. However, a lot of data on pharmaceutical substances, including their effects as individual drugs, and the approximately nine thousand pharmaceutical recipes are provided free of any theoretical justification or reference to the concept of cong lei 從類, that is, “like cures like,” as, for instance, when a medication based on the stomach of an animal is used to treat the stomach illness of a human patient. The BCGM does not avoid demonological, exorcistical references, and not infrequently, chrononumerological notions appear in advice to collect and prepare substances at specific times and to ingest them in certain amounts, with the twelfth month and the number 7 given 2

13 special importance. Similarly, many of the several thousand therapeutic indications encountered in the BCGM (see vol. 1 of the Ben cao gang mu Dictionary) appear almost entirely unaffected by the yin-yang and five phases doctrines of systematic correspondence.
3. Chinese Materia medica Literature
The beginnings of Chinese interest in herbal, mineral, and animal materia medica to cure, control, and prevent disease are lost in prehistoric times. The recipe manuscripts unearthed in the early 1970s in the Ma wang dui tombs and since then in other locations, most recently the Lao guan shan 老管山 tombs, offer the earliest evidence now available of a rich lore concerning substances and their therapeutic effects and, most impressive, of a highly advanced pharmaceutical technology, the modification of items derived from nature to obtain drug forms suitable for internal and external application. The earliest full text of materia medica that we have today, describing one individual substance after another with therapeutic indications and certain characteristics permitting identification and evaluation, is assigned to the Han era. It is known as the Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經, “Divine Farmer’s Classic of Materia Medica.” For centuries, mainstream materia medica texts included the full Shen nong ben cao jing and began their characterizations of substances with it.3 During China’s medieval period (post-Han through Tang 唐), a time first of disunity and foreign invasion and then of a flourishing culture enriched by stimuli from outside during the Tang dynasty, the texts as transmitted became more complex. The corpus associated with the Daoist master Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 (456–536) is one example.4 By his time, the search for longevity drugs was a major fertilizer of the expansion of Chinese pharmaceutical lore. A complicating ingredient was the arrival of Buddhist medicine in China.5 It brought not only its humoral traditions but substantial Indian and Western materia medica as well, along with specifically Buddhist methods of treatment. Following the entry of Indian and Buddhist elements, the Tang also saw the introduction of Middle Eastern materia medica. In some cases, pharmaceutical substances and theory were introduced by persons of Middle Eastern origin actually present in China. What resulted was a considerable enrichment of the Chinese tradition of materia medica, including one herbal largely devoted to Middle Eastern medicinals by an individual of Persian extraction.6 3

14 In Tang times, the manuscript tradition of materia medica developed further, including the production of major texts such as the Xin xiu ben cao 新修本草, “Newly Revised Materia Medica,” compiled by several authors and published in 659 in 54 juan 卷 with 850 drug monographs.7 This was a large work. The text was still firmly rooted in the tradition of the Shen nong ben cao jing as revised by Tao Hongjing, but it was much broader than previous materia medica manuscripts. Also, for the first time in China, here was a text with illustrations of pharmaceutical substances. More than any other dynasty, the Song sought to standardize texts of every kind, including medical ones.8 Among the variety of original Song medical works, the most important are a series of official herbals. These include the Kai bao xin xiang ding ben cao 開寶新詳定本草, “Materia Medica Newly Revised in Detail during the Kai bao Reign Period,” published by various authors in 973, in 21 juan with 983 monographs. A revised version with the same number of juan was written at the orders of the emperor as the Kai bao chong ding ben cao 開寶重定本草, “Rerevised Materia Medica of the Kai Bao Reign Period,” and published the next year.9 The Jia you bu zhu shen nong ben cao 嘉祐補注神農本草, “Shen nong ben cao, Supplemented and Annotated during the Jia you Reign Period,” was compiled by various authors in 21 juan with 1,084 monographs and published in 1061.10 The Jing shi zheng lei bei ji ben cao 經史證類備急本草, “Verified and Categorized Materia Medica for Emergencies, Based on Classics and Histories,” was compiled by Tang Shenwei 唐慎微. His manuscript comprised 1,744 monographs in 31 juan and was completed between 1080 and 1107. It was officially published in 1108 in a much-expanded official version (but with the same number of chapters and monographs).11 A further revision shortly thereafter became known as the Jing shi zheng lei da guan ben cao 經史證類大觀 本草, “Da guan Reign Period Verified and Categorized Materia Medica, Based on Classics and Histories.”12 Also a major text was the Zheng he xin xiu jing shi zheng lei bei yong ben cao 政和新修經史證類備用本草, “The Zheng he Reign Period Verified and Categorized Materia Medica for Practical Use, Newly Revised and Based on Classics and Histories,” a revision of the previous work in 30 juan with 1,748 monographs.13 Another important Northern Song herbal, more specialized, was the Tu jing ben cao 圖經本草, “Illustrated Classic of Materia Medica,” by Su Song 蘇 敬 and others, published in 1062 in 21 juan with 634 drug monographs. As the title suggests, the emphasis was on illustrations; the drug descriptions came from the 7

15 Xin xiu ben cao. This was the first text of its kind in Chinese history whose primary content was illustrations.14 Major Southern Song materia medica included still another version of Tang Shenwei’s work, the Chong xiu zheng he jing shi zheng lei bei yong ben cao 重修政和 經史證類備用本草, “The Zheng he Reign Period Verified and Categorized Materia Medica for Practical Use, Repeatedly Revised and Based on Classics and Histories,” published in 1249 in 30 juan with 1,746 monographs.15 It is profusely illustrated, and subsequently illustration became the standard rather than the exception. By the time Li Shizhen began to assemble material for his encyclopedia, materia medica literature had vastly expanded beyond its original structure of an all-encompassing listing of substance descriptions, which reached from the early Shen nong ben cao jing through the great herbals of the Song era, when this main tradition ended. Over the centuries, numerous authors had introduced new formats. Materia medica literature came to include works focusing on one single substance, on the substances of one geographical region (such as the Nan fang cao mu zhuang 南方 草木狀, “Forms of Herbs and Trees from the Southern Regions”), or on plants only. Some authors restricted their discussion to substances that served both as food and as medicinals, while others prepared handbooks with an emphasis on the pharmaceutical preparation of each substance. Works in verse helped students to memorize pharmaceutical texts; lists of secondary names enabled pharmacists, physicians, and users to cross terminological barriers among the many regions of China. In short, much more than conceptualized medicine relying on acupuncture and lifestyle, health care and disease management based on pharmaceutical therapy had continuously expanded its knowledge base and armamentarium. Such was the situation when Li Shizhen sat down with his team to compile the largest work ever in the premodern history of Chinese materia medica.
4. The Sources Cited 4.1. Materia medica and Medical Texts When compiling the BCGM, Li Shizhen and his team relied on the major materia medica works described above, with most of their quotes taken from the Jing shi zheng lei da guan ben cao and the Zheng lei ben cao 證類本草. They also exploited rare and uncommon textual sources, at times including second-hand citations (sometimes not even cited correctly) of lost texts. Another important and common type of source for the BCGM was collections of recipes, some of which had been compiled with specific purposes in mind. There were many of these available. Among those used by Li Shizhen, works like the Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急方, “Emergency Recipes Worth a Thousand in Gold,” of Sun Simiao 孫思邈, and the Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘後備急方, “Recipes for Emergencies to Be Kept Close at Hand,” written by Ge Hong 葛洪 and later supplemented by Tao Hongjing, feature most promi14 Ibid., 64–68. 15 Ibid., 81–82.
16 nently. A specialized book in this tradition is the Southern Song Fu ren liang fang da quan 婦人良方大全, “Great Compendium of Good Recipes for Women,” by Chen Ziming 陳自明. Also cited, of course, are important general and specialized medical works, such as the Ban lun cui ying 癍論萃英, “Condensed Quintessence of Discourses on Macule [Sores],” written by Wang Haogu 王好古 in the thirteenth century, the famous Zhu bing yuan hou lun 諸病源候論, “Discourse on the Origins and Symptoms of All Diseases,” by the Sui 隋 dynasty author Chao Yuanfang 巢元方, and the classic Huang di nei jing Su wen 黃帝內經素問, “The Yellow Thearch’s Inner Classic: Basic Questions.” Clinical texts referred to include diagnostic manuals, manuals to keep your parents alive with good medicine, and works concerning key medical diagnostic topics, such as pulse taking. Other texts cited deal with dietary medicine, a popular topic in China, where little distinction was made between what we might consider medicine and food, and the BCGM even quotes specialized works on techniques like moxibustion. Finally, the BCGM uses veterinary texts as sources, since these often have the same approaches as texts for human medicine, thus their particular value. 4.2 Sources beyond Materia medica and Medical Literature In composing the BCGM, Li Shizhen and his team used or at least cited 952 authors. The current dictionary shows first and foremost, clearly and unmistakably, the depth of the written information available to this editorial team. Each entry, where possible, lists the number of times its title is cited, although this figure has a specific meaning and only a limited use because of the BCGM’s tendency to refer to works even when they have been lost or are unavailable and the citation is second-hand, usually from an encyclopedia such as the Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, “Imperial Overview of the Tai ping Reign Period.” Many BCGM sources are, in fact, cited in this manner and usually do not mention the precise secondary or tertiary source from which the information was actually taken. This methodology may lead to some confusion. For example, the BCGM cites two works called Guang zhou ji 廣州記, “Records of Guang zhou,” which are additionally referred to as Guang zhou zhi 廣州志, “Guang zhou Gazetteer,” by mistake. Both Guang zhou ji texts are lost, so the twenty-eight references to them in the BCGM cannot be to the originals but must be to fragments in secondary sources such as the Tai ping yu lan or the similar Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, “Collection of Literature Arranged by Categories.” While early sources such as the Qi min yao shu 齊民要術, “Essential Arts of the Common People,” clearly differentiated between them, from Song times on people citing them second-hand were more and more unaware of their authorship and occasionally regarded the two texts as one. The BCGM partook of this confusion in its many second- and third-hand citations of these works. Other typical sources, some well known, some rare, include historiographical texts: standard histories of the Han (two), Tang (two), and many other dynasties, many private histories (that is, written by individuals and not officially issued by the government), and collections of documents such as the great government en-
17 cyclopedia Da Ming hui dian 大明會典, “Collected Statutes of the Great Ming.” Some focus on institutions, for instance the Tang hui yao 唐會要, “Institutional History of the Tang,” and the Tong dian 通典, “Comprehensive Statutes,” China’s first purely institutional history, written in the late eighth century by Du You 杜 佑. Widely used were gazetteers containing descriptions of specific areas and their customs, including general gazetteers for the whole of Ming China, such as the Da Ming yi tong zhi 大明一統志, “Comprehensive Gazetteer of the Great Ming,” and geographical works, some dealing with mythogeography rather than real geography, such as the Shan hai jing 山海經, “Classic of Mountains and Seas.” In the BCGM we also find many accounts of foreign countries, discussions of local products (usually from a narrow region), and citations of texts devoted to science and technology or to natural science in general, such as the Bo wu zhi 博 物志, “Monograph on a Wide Range of Things,” and the Tai ping guang ji 太平廣 記, “Extensive Records of the Tai ping Reign Period.” Li Shizhen and his team also used various agricultural manuals, like the Toba Wei 魏 Qi min yao shu, by Jia Sixie 賈思勰. This is far more than a simple agricultural manual, however, with contents reaching from rich practical botanical and zoological material to detailed veterinary information. They also used monographs on plants, such as the Ming Ai ye zhuan 艾葉傳, “Notes on Mugwort,” by Li Yanwen 李言聞, and the Tang Cha jing 茶經, “Tea Classic,” by Lu Yu 陸羽, and on specialized topics like beekeeping, such as the Feng ji 蜂記, “Bee Records,” by Wang Yucheng 王禹偁. Further, the BCGM cites works of philosophers such as the Baopu zi 抱朴子, “Master Embracing Simplicity,” of Ge Hong 葛洪, classics and commentaries on these classics like the Mao shi cao mu niao shou chong yu shu 毛詩草木鳥獸蟲魚疏, “Commentary on Herbs, Trees, Birds, Beasts, Insects, and Fish in the Mao Book of Songs,” by Lu Ji 陸璣 (also appears as 陸機), and dictionaries and lexicographical texts of every sort (including rhyme references) and commentaries on such texts. There are citations of literary collections, such as those of the Song polymath Su Shi 蘇軾, who also contributed many essays, and even entire specialized works as source material, anthologies of particular kinds of literature like poetry and classical essays, individual poems, songs, and rhapsodies (fu 賦), letters with relevant information, books of essential texts to support the study of calligraphy with many reproduced inscriptions, and individual inscriptions preserved in general compilations. Other literary references were major works such as the Wen xian tong kao 文獻通考, “Comprehensive Study of Literary and Documentary Sources,” an anthology and discussion written by Ma Duanlin 馬端臨 during Yuan times, collections of short stories and individual short stories, “brush notes” (bi ji 筆記), and collections of short essays on a variety of topics including plants and medicinals. Nearly all the examples given above contained some kind of material on plants or medicinals or provided biographical or theoretical discussions or other connected information that appeared important to Li Shizhen and his team. Nothing was irrelevant. Collections of biographies, including those of Daoists, immortals, and other supernatural or mythological personages, loom large in the BCGM. It also cites catalogues of various kinds (some on archaeology and art), special historical inscriptions,
18 bibliographies, travelogues, and reports on embassies, such as the Yuan-period Chu shi xi yu ji 出使西域記, “Record of One Who Served as an Envoy in the Western Regions,” by Liu Yu 劉郁. Buddhist texts are also referenced, mostly sutras but also books on Buddhist topology like the late Northern Wei Luo yang qie lan ji 洛陽伽 藍記, “Record of the Buddhist Temples of Luo yang,” by Yang Xuanzhi 楊衒之. A great many Daoist and alchemical texts are also cited, some more specific than others, including works on sexual alchemy such as the Su nü jing 素女經, “Classic of the Pure Woman.” And there are, last but not least, references to calendars and calendar commentaries, books on divination and apocrypha (chen wei 讖緯), and cosmological and astronomical texts. All in all, we find a vast variety of genres and texts used as sources in the BCGM, the above list constituting a not remotely exhaustive but rather highly selective overview. So much for the literary sources. But the BCGM does not cite only texts or scattered fragments of texts. It also refers to their authors and to a great many other individuals somehow associated with these works or with other stories, anecdotes, and hearsay reproduced from unnamed sources and elaborated upon in the BCGM. These latter accounts often preserve information found nowhere else. Hundreds of such examples are included in the present work, making it a dictionary not only of the texts used by Li Shizhen and his team but also of arcane lore associated with individuals whose brief biographies are given where possible (in addition to major figures, whose biographies are of course given as well). Sometimes this lore appears in the form of references that seem intended more to mention famous people because of their fame than to provide real information—in these cases, little more is done than name-dropping. Note that such material is nearly always presented in the context of the history of specific pharmaceutically used substances. Quite likely, these connections of certain names with pharmaceutical substances already existed in other texts, from which convenient sources of information the BCGM team simply took them. Li Shizhen based the presentation of the vast amount of data excerpted in his BCGM from this wide range of sources on a novel approach. All the authors of the works of the main tradition had simply gathered, within one substance description, comments copied from previous books and added their own views. The result, toward the end of this tradition, was huge works that proved rather difficult to consult. To learn the specifics of a substance, readers had to pass through the wordings of many different authors from up to the thousand previous years. There was hardly any guidance as to which data might be reliable and which might be faulty. Li Shizhen, possibly following the model of the early sixteenth-century Yu zhi ben cao pin hui jing yao 御制本草品彙精要, “Materia Medica Written on Imperial Order, Containing Essential and Important Material Arranged in Systematic Order,” perfected a rather sophisticated structure of substance descriptions. He divided each monograph into several data categories, including the name, general explanatory notes, pharmaceutical processing, thermoquality and flavor, main indications, correction of mistakes, and recipes, to mention the most important ones.

5. The Dictionary Entries The alphabetical order of this dictionary is guided by the following rules: In the pinyin transcription of names of persons, names with two Chinese syllables—for instance, given names (ming 名), style names (zi 字), literary names (hao 號), and foreign names—are written as a single word, following the rules in The Chicago Manual of Style. Forms of address (e.g., xiansheng 先生) are also written this way. The transcripted syllables of official and professional titles (e.g., cheng xiang 丞相, jiao shou 教授), in comparison, are separated. For example, it is Zheng Siyuan 鄭思 遠 but Zheng xiang guo 鄭相國, “Zheng, minister of state.” If in doubt as to where to find the entry for a certain person, the reader is advised to consult appendix C for quick reference. Pinyin transcriptions of book titles, however, are always written with separated syllables, with the exception of names of persons. For example, it will be Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方, “101 Selected Recipes,” but Shizhai bai yi fang 是齋 百一方, “101 Recipes of [Wang] Shizhai.” Again, an appendix of book titles appears at the end of this volume to facilitate searches. The entries in this dictionary follow typical patterns, described below. 5.1. Bibliographical Entries The headline of each entry includes the title and a full translation of the title. The name under which a text is listed is usually the one that appears in the bibliographical sections of the BCGM, and alternative names used in the main text are cross-referenced to this main entry. This means that the name under which we list a book is not necessarily the commonly used one in the standard bibliographical sources and elsewhere. To facilitate the search for such titles, we have therefore begun their entries with “This is the XXX” and entered the proper title XXX into the list of books in appendix D. There are some exceptions to this rule of following the BCGM’s bibliography, however: If Li Shizhen (LSZ) listed the text under an erroneous name, we have placed the entry under its correct name. And if the BCGM’s bibliography has only an abbreviated or very uncommon name of a text but the main text mentions the complete or proper name, we have also placed the entry under this complete or proper name. The entry itself begins with a brief characterization of the text. This is followed by information on the title’s first appearance in a bibliographical source (labeled FE, for “first [bibliographical] entry”). We regard book catalogues and bibliographical treatises in dynastic histories as standard bibliographical sources, since they usually provide title, author (if identifiable), and book length. Sometimes textual sources used by the BCGM are not mentioned in these standard bibliographies or appear there only centuries after being written but are in bibliographies of encyclopedias such as the Tai ping yu lan or of materia medica works like the Zheng lei ben cao. In such cases, we have marked the first occurrence with “See bibliography of the XXX.” However, some texts do not appear in any bibliography at all. In these cases we have provided the title of the earliest book or collection to cite them, labeled as EE, “earliest evidence.” We then provide alternative names (AN) for these texts found
20 in other standard bibliographies. If the BCGM’s designation for a book differs from that listed in the book’s first bibliographical entry, the latter title is marked “AN there” or “AN originally.” Each entry then provides the author’s name (including information on controversies about the authorship where relevant), the date of compilation/completion (DC), and the size of the text (including alternative versions, labeled AV). The rest of the entry consists of a brief overview of the text’s contents, additional significant information (such as notes on the text’s history, its identification, mistakes made by the BCGM team), and a list of alternative names used in the BCGM, as well as their respective number of occurrences. All of these names are listed in the dictionary, with a cross-reference to the main entry. Note that if Li Shizhen used only one name for a text throughout the BCGM, the number of occurrences is given in the headline of its entry. The following are some examples of bibliographical entries. The first is of a mainstream medical work, the Yuan-dynasty dietary manual Yin shan zheng yao 飲膳正 要, “Proper and Essential Things for [the Emperor’s] Beverages and Food,” a text still widely used today, influential thanks to its Mongolian-era animal medicine— that is, instructions to eat specific parts of animals to counter specific conditions, a genuine Mongol introduction. Yin shan zheng yao 飲膳正要, “Proper and Essential Things for [the Emperor’s] Beverages and Food” Yuan 元 dynasty book on dietetic therapy and nutrition. FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” Written by → Hu Sihui 忽思慧 and his associates. DC 1330. 3 juan. The text mixes and synthesizes Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Mongolian culinary traditions. Juan 1 includes Daoist lore, a detailed discussion of various dietary taboos (including some concerning pregnant and postpartum women and wet nurses), and 95 exotic recipes used at court. Juan 2 focuses on beverages and medical recipes, along with more material on avoidances. Juan 3 consists of a list of 230 materia medica and dietetica. LSZ frequently uses the work as a source for recipes and newly presented pharmaceutical substances, referring to it as Yin shan zheng yao [26], as Zheng yao 正要, “Proper and Essential Things” [39], and by the name of the author, as Hu shi 忽氏, “Mr. Hu” [1]. He also refers to a Yin shan biao ti 飲膳標題, “Headings for the Emperor’s Food and Drink” [1], but this is a different book, further information on which is unavailable. As described above, the entry begins with the book’s title as listed in the BCGM’s bibliography, which is fully translated as definitively as we can. Note that shan 膳 is an honorific word for the food of some highly placed individuals, such as the emperor, thus the translation. The entry then gives a brief characterization of the book and notes its first appearance in a bibliography, although it must have been known before the time of this bibliography, and fragments of the Yuan original edition still exist. This is followed by a summary of the text’s contents and the use that the
21 BCGM makes of it, including mention of another work that the authors possibly mistook for this text. Such notes are often useful, since the BCGM sometimes confuses works with similar names, showing that they were, more often than not, cited second-hand and not actually consulted by the BCGM team. This may not have been the case with the Yin shan zheng yao, whose confusion with the Yin shan biao ti was probably just an oversight. The following example introduces an anonymous work, one of many often lost Daoist texts cited from secondary sources in the BCGM: Ba di xuan bian jing 八帝玄變經, “The Eight Thearchs’ Classic of Mysterious Changes” Anonymous Daoist book. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. AN there Tai shang ba di xuan bian jing 太上八帝玄變經, “Classic of the Mysterious Changes of the Eight Thearchs of the Great Loftiness.” The ZLBC cites the book’s alchemical lore and some pharmaceutical information. Today two works possibly connected to this text exist, both preserved in the Dao zang 道藏, “Daoist Canon” (→ Dao zang jing 道藏經). The first is the Dong sheng ba di yuan [= xuan] bian jing 洞 神八帝元[玄]變經, “Classic of the Original [Mysterious] Changes of the Eight Thearchs from the Cavern of Spirits”; the other is the Dong shen ba di miao jing jing 洞神八帝妙精經, “Classic of the Miraculous Essence of the Eight Thearchs from the Cavern of Spirits.” The former lacks information on alchemical methods, but the latter does have a “small elixir method” (xiao dan fa 小丹法) that corresponds to a citation of the Ba di xuan bian jing in the ZLBC, which seems to have conflated the two works. Based on the ZLBC, LSZ refers to the Ba di xuan bian jing [1] in his bibliographical sections but does not mention the title in his main text. However, he also cites a Tai shang xuan bian jing 太上玄 變經, “Classic of the Mysterious Changes of the Great Loftiness” [3], in his bibliographical sections and in the main text. Upon comparison, this material is identical with that of the Tai shang ba di xuan bian jing cited in the ZLBC, therefore the text must be the same as LSZ’s Ba di xuan bian jing. LSZ thus apparently duplicated references in his bibliographical sections. The title Ba di xuan bian jing, not clearly identifiable as that of one particular book, does not appear in any standard bibliography but is cited second-hand from the Zheng lei ben cao, which uses an alternative name (AN) that is actually an amalgam of two titles. Of course, in such a case there cannot be any data about authorship, date of compilation, or size. Li Shizhen apparently copied the Zheng lei ben cao’s bibliographical entry for this work without mentioning its title in the main text— simply transcribing entries from other bibliographies without using the cited books being a frequently applied procedure in the BCGM. However, tracing the origin of the BCGM citation, this entry reveals that somewhere along the line of textual
22 transmission, not only did the Zheng lei ben cao amalgamate two titles into one, but this new title was also mistaken for two different texts during the compilation of the BCGM bibliography. This entry thus reveals one of the many inconsistencies concerning citations of texts and authors in the BCGM—for instance, erroneous book titles and attributions of authorship, incorrect first- or second-hand citations, duplicated or absent bibliographical entries—a symptom of the complicated processes involved in textual transmission and in the compilation of eclectic texts such as this. The third example, also typical, is the entry for one of the most important BCGM sources, as mentioned above, an encyclopedia: Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, “Imperial Overview of the Tai ping reign Period” Song 宋 dynasty encyclopedia. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Compiled by → Li Fang 李昉 and others at imperial order of → Song Tai zong 宋 太宗. DC 976–984. 1000 juan, divided into 5363 categories. The book uses a wide variety of sources, 1690 works in all. These include 100 Han 漢 dynasty biographies, 200 ancient local geographies, and many Han period texts on divination and apocrypha (chen wei 讖緯). Most of these are now lost, therefore the Tai ping yu lan provides a valuable source for older material. Even though LSZ does not cite the text directly very often, as Tai ping yu lan [3] and as Yu lan 御覽, “Imperial Overview” [4], the book constituted one of LSZ’s most important sources for secondhand quotations of early materia medica literature. Like the first example, this entry provides full bibliographical details, in this case including authorship and official sponsorship. It describes the scope of the encyclopedia and comments on its use in the BCGM. One could conclude from the number of citations that the BCGM team rarely used the Tai ping yu lan, but that was not the case in the least, as suggested by what was said above about how the BCGM treats its sources. It is thus clear that the number of a given source’s citations can have very little to say about its real importance. Finally, here is another example of the complicated processes of textual transmission and citation reflected in the BCGM: Yao dui 藥對, “Combinations of Pharmaceutical Substances” [24] → Lei gong yao dui 雷公藥對 or [1] In Li Dangzhi yao dui 李當之藥對, “Li Dangzhi’s Combinations of Pharmaceutical Substances,” this is an erroneous name for the → Li Dangzhi yao lu 李當之藥錄. The second subentry reveals an incorrect labeling of material originating from a book of a different name. Moreover, the first subentry, in cross-referencing two other subentries, shows that Yao dui is an abbreviation for two different texts called Lei
23 gong yao dui 雷公藥對, “Lei gong’s Combinations of Pharmaceutical Substances.” The Lei gong yao dui entry, too large to be reproduced here, clearly shows that Li Shizhen not only was mistaken about the history of these two texts but also incorrectly attributed all the material from the earlier work to the later one. 5.2. Biographical Entries Entries on persons cover authors of texts as well as other, sometimes legendary, individuals, official titles, and groups of people associated in some way or another with pharmaceutical substances. As with source text entries, we have followed the BCGM: that is, persons are listed under the name used by the BCGM unless referred to only by an incorrect name there, in which case they are listed under their proper name, with a cross-reference from the incorrect name. As well-known people in Chinese history commonly have various designations—their given name, style name, literary name, official title, or other nickname—the BCGM accordingly uses various designations for one and the same individual. We have usually listed such people under their given name, with cross-references from the other names used by the BCGM, unless it doesn’t mention the given name at all. In that case, we have begun our entry with “this is XXX” and added the name XXX to appendix C. If available, the individual’s life dates appear in the headline of the entry; if not, a rough time span is given in a brief description of the person’s identity. Following the structure of Chinese biographies, information on the person’s other names, their birthplace, and their official posts comes next. Note that we have listed official posts, including their translation (according to Hucker’s dictionary),16 only if very little is known about the person otherwise, if the official title is in some way relevant to the designations used by Li Shizhen, or in the case of very high government positions. This basic information is followed by the available landmarks of the person’s biography. In the case of authors, this includes the books they wrote; in the case of other people, their association with a pharmaceutical substance or recipe. The following example is an entry on a major medical figure, one referred to a large number of times in the BCGM (in this case the number of citations probably does correspond to real use). This is not surprising, given that Sun Simiao was the author of numerous famous medical texts, his best-known work being the Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急方, “Emergency Recipes Worth a Thousand in Gold.” The entry lists this text and a great many others. It also makes clear that Sun was a polymath with interests ranging far beyond Confucianism. Sun Simiao 孫思邈 (581–682?) Tang 唐 dynasty physician. A man of Hua yuan 華原 in Jing zhao 京兆, now Luo xian 耀縣 in Shaan xi 陝西. He received the title of Miaoying zhenren 妙應真人, “Perfected One of Subtle Responses,” and was therefore called Sun zhenren 孫真人, “Sun the Perfected One.” Both the “Old” and the “New History of the Tang” (→ Tang shu 16 Charles O. Hucker, A Dictionary of Official Titles in Imperial China (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1985).
24 唐書) contain his biography. Allegedly, Sun was considered a person of outstanding literary talent who was well versed in Confucianist thought as well as Daoism and Buddhism. He is described as having lived as a recluse at various stages of his life and having been repeatedly summoned to court by successive emperors. Most of this is not proven fact. Books written by Sun Simiao or attributed to him are numerous. Those used extensively by LSZ include the → Qian jin bei ji fang 千金 備急方, the → Qian jin yi fang 千金翼方, the → Qian jin sui fang 千 金髓方, the → Qian jin yue ling fang 千金月令方, the → Qian jin shi zhi 千金食治, the → Sun zhenren shi ji 孫真人食忌, and the → Zhen zhong ji 枕中記 . Apart from these, the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” attributes various other works to Sun, e.g., the → Zhen zhong su shu 枕中素書, the → She sheng zhen lu 攝生真錄, the → Fu lu lun 福祿論, the → San jiao lun 三教論, and commentaries on the → Lao zi 老子 and the → Zhuang zi 莊子 . LSZ refers to Sun as Sun Simiao [214], as Sun zhenren [48], and as Simiao 思邈 [142]. References to Sun 孫 [2] alone are to the Qian jin shi zhi. Next is an example of a purely mythological figure. But mythology though the reference might be, many such stories were still believed in Ming China or were at least a vital part of the cultural background and medicine of the time. There are hundreds of entries like this. Wu Gang 吳剛 [1] Mythological person, the immortal in the moon palace. According to the → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎, he overindulged in his quest for immortality and was relegated to felling “moon cassia trees” (yue gui 月 桂). The last entry quoted here is an example of a designation that can refer to either a person or a variety of books, and the text of the BCGM leaves it up in the air as to what the editorial team was thinking. Bian Que 扁鵲 Warring States period physician, also known as Qin Yue ren 秦越人. A man of Zheng 鄚 in Bo hai 渤海 commandery, the center of which was located southeast of present-day Cang zhou 滄州 in He bei 河北. Bian Que has a biography in the → Shi ji 史記 and his treatments are recorded in the → Zhan guo ce 戰國策. He is frequently claimed as the author of later books, including the → Nan jing 難經. However, it is to be assumed that Bian Que was a designation for a good physician of the Warring States period rather than a specific individual. LSZ refers to this assumed person as Bian Que [10], as Bian 扁 [1], and (in connection with the Nan jing) as Qin Yue ren [2]. Drawing upon the
25 Shi ji, LSZ also erroneously assigns ideas associated with Bian Que about the “six conditions that cannot be cured” (liu bu zhi 六不治) to → Chunyu Yi 淳於意.
[42] Pre-Han 漢 MM [materia medica] attributed to → Bian Que 扁鵲 . The → Wu Pu ben cao 吳普本草 quoted fragments, and LSZ frequently adds the name Bian Que to quotations from the latter book when discussing characteristics of pharmaceutic substances.
[11] Pre-Tang 唐 dietary manual attributed to → Bian Que 扁鵲 . Material from this text on dietary prohibitions is found in the → Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急方, from which LSZ cites second-hand.
Cf. → Bian Que fang 扁鵲方
The famous physician Bian Que is cited by name in many cases, but his name is also used as a metonym for various texts associated with him, with resulting confusion. Under the full biography of Bian Que is given, or at least what we know about him, since the real Bian Que is something of a mythical figure. The other subentries are for books written by or attributed to Bian Que. The BCGM editorial staff ’s use of his name in metonymy sometimes involves the mislabeling of fragments. In general, we have attempted to count the number of times each of the works attributed to him is mentioned by assessing the context of the quotations and, if necessary and possible, by comparing them with the original text. In our dictionary we have tried to gloss all references to people, no matter how fleeting their association with texts or pharmaceutical substances may be. The BCGM has its important people and those who are referred to again and again. These include famous doctors, famous authors of medical texts, famous patients (particularly when they were prominent people), famous scholars somehow connected with medicine, famous Daoists and Buddhists, and politicians and writers, plus a large number of emperors and also some generals. Among the major biographical sources in the BCGM are those referring to military figures such as the marshal Bo Yan 伯颜 (1236–1295), also called Bayan or Ba Yan 巴延, the conqueror of Song, cited appropriately with reference to a Mongolian medical practice of using whole animal skins. Mentioned in much the same way are Jia Sidao 賈似道 (1213–1275), a high official and “bad last minister” of Southern Song, and one prominent Song loyalist, likewise with a specific medical context, Wen Tianxiang 文天祥 (1236–1283). Important emperors are included, with some medical connection established, no matter how slight, such as Han Gao zu 漢高 祖 (256 or 247–195), also known as Liu Bang 劉邦, the founder of the Western Han dynasty. And the military and political strategist Zhuge Liang 諸葛亮 (181–234) appears in the BCGM, alongside hoary cultural heroes like Da Yu 大禹, the Great Yu, the legendary ancient tribal leader who became famous for preventing floods through water control. Examples of more obscure people are a Cai yi bo 蔡醫博, “Medical-erudite Cai,” a Southern Song medical official, and Hu Yongzhi 胡用之, a Northern Song judge. Further, the BCGM includes a Xia ji 夏姬, “concubine Xia,” of the Spring and Au-
26 tumn period, and a Poluo-men seng 婆羅門僧, “Brahman Monk,” a Tang-era Indian Buddhist priest who in 713 offered a recipe to Emperor Ming 明 of Tang (712–756). The important thing concerning the multitude of people mentioned in the BCGM is that such biographical references are a key part of the justification of the therapeutic use of a particular pharmaceutical substance or medical practice. The more famous the person involved, the better, although a simple Daoist will do as well. In conclusion, given all the references in the BCGM to people, books, and other texts, what are we supposed to get out of the present dictionary? First of all, it will enable readers of the BCGM to identify the many works and persons quoted by Li Shizhen and his team, whose names in the BCGM are all too often marred by misspelling, obscure abbreviation, and erroneous attribution. In addition, this dictionary provides us with a guide to what an educated individual or team of individuals felt the urge to refer to in the sixteenth century—namely, what was important to scholars of Chinese medical literature and natural history research. This list of people and texts shows what was available and what the relevant medical literature was based on at the time.

A man of Chang an 長安, now Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西. Originally he served as a musician at the Tai chang si 太常寺 (Zen) monastery. At the beginning of the reign of Empress Wu Zetian 武則天 (→ Wu hou 武候, r. 689-704) he tried to emphasize that the heir apparent had no intentions of rebellion and cut open his own abdomen in this context. Later he was awarded a military post. His story is reported in the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書), pointing out that a physician used a thread prepared from sang bai pi 桑白皮 to close the abdomen again. LSZ cites it in SE sang 桑. an Lushan 安祿山 (died 757) [1] Tang 唐 dynasty general. A man of Liu cheng 柳城 in Ying zhou 營州, now Chao yang 朝陽 in Liao ning 遼寧. He was of Northern (Hu 胡) origin, in this case Sogdian. During the reign of → Tang Xuan zong 唐玄宗 (r. 712-756) he was enfeoffed as Prince of Dong ping 東平 prefecture. In 755 he raised an army and started a rebellion. At one time he used lang dang 莨菪 wine to intoxicate the Xi 奚 and Qidan 契丹 people (→ Xi Qidan 奚契丹). an Qisheng 安期生 [3] Daoist of Qin 秦 and Han 漢 times. A man of Lang ya 琅琊 in present-day Shan dong 山東. Legend has it that he consumed longevity medication, obtained the Dao and rose to the status of an immortal. The → Shi ji 史記, the → Gu jin zhu 古今注 , and the → Shen xian zhuan 神仙傳 report his story, and LSZ takes this over in SE shao yao 芍藥 and chang pu 菖蒲. ang Shu 卬疏 [1] Legendary immortal. According to the → Lie xian zhuan 列仙傳, Ang Shu lived during the Zhou 周 era and reached an age of one thousand years. Allegedly he was able to move qi to strengthen his physical appearance. He cooked “stone

-BBa cao ling bian pian 八草靈變篇, “Chapter on Eight Herbs and Numinous Changes” [2] Lost book. See bibliography of the BCGM. The author’s name is not indicated, and the book is not mentioned in the standard bibliographies. It also seems that no writer prior to LSZ used the text as a source. LSZ cites it in his bibliographical sections and the main text. LSZ refers to the similarity between the book’s material with some in the Daoist Bao zang lun 寶藏論, “Discourse on the Precious Treasury,” (→ Xuanyuan shu bao zang lun 軒轅述寶藏論), so one may assume that the Ba cao ling bian pian was a Daoist book as well.

Ba di xuan bian jing 八帝玄變經, “The Eight Thearchs’ Classic of Mysterious Changes” Anonymous Daoist book. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. AN there Tai shang ba di xuan bian jing 太上八帝玄變經, “Classic of the Mysterious Changes of the Eight Thearchs of the Great Loftiness.” The ZLBC cites the book’s alchemical lore and some pharmaceutical information.

The first is the Dong sheng ba di yuan [= xuan] bian jing 洞神 八帝元[玄]變經, “Classic of the Original [Mysterious] Changes of the Eight Thearchs from the Cavern of Spirits”, the other is the Dong shen ba di miao jing jing 洞神八帝妙精經, “Classic of the Miraculous Essence of the Eight Thearchs from the Cavern of Spirits.” The former lacks information on alchemical methods, but the latter does have a “small elixir method” (xiao dan fa 小丹法) that corresponds to a citation of the Ba di xuan bian jing in the ZLBC, which seems to have conflated the two works. Based on the ZLBC, LSZ refers to the Ba di xuan bian jing [1] in his bibliographical sections but does not mention the title in his main text. However, he also cites a Tai shang xuan bian jing 太上玄變經, “Classic of the Mysterious Changes of the Great Loftiness” [3], in his bibli-
30 ographical sections and in the main text. Upon comparison, this text is the same as that of the Tai shang ba di xuan bian jing of the ZLBC and therefore the same as LSZ’s Ba di xuan bian jing. LSZ thus apparently duplicated references in his bibliographical sections. Ba gong 八公 → Huai nan ba gong 淮南八公 Ba Shu yi wu zhi 巴蜀異物志, “records of Extraordinary Creatures from Ba and Shu” [2] Lost book. EE → Er ya yi 爾雅翼, no author given. The Ming 明 writer → Yang Shen 楊慎 in his Dan qian yu lu 丹鉛餘錄, “Extra Records of Cinnabar and Lead,” (→ Dan qian lu 丹鉛錄) attributes the book to → Qiao Zhou 譙周 of Three Kingdoms Shu 蜀.

Fragments are found in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺 秘要方, the → TJBC, and other books. This material is used by LSZ, who refers to the work as Bai bing fang [5], as Hu Qia fang 胡洽方, “Recipes of Hu Qia,” [7], and as Hu Jushi fang 胡居士方, “Recipes of Hu the Recluse,” [2]. He also refers to the author’s name alone as Hu Qia [12], as Hu Qia jushi 胡洽居士 [12], and as Hu Jushi 胡居士 [2]. Bai chuan xue hai 百川學海, “The Hundred Streams Ocean of Learning” [1] Song 宋 dynasty collection of books (cong shu 叢書). Compiled by Zuo Gui 左 圭. DC 1265-1274. 10 collections, comprising 100 books, 177 juan. Many unofficial histories and miscellaneous discussions from Tang 唐 and Song times are preserved in the collection. The Bai chuan xue hai is China’s earliest printed cong shu. LSZ lists the title in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it directly in his main text. It is possible, however, that he drew material from the books contained in the Bai chuan xue hai without indicating their source. Bai fa bian 白髮辨 → Kun shan xiao gao 崑山小稿 Bai Feixia 白飛霞 → Han Mao 韓 Bai Feixia fang 白飛霞方 → Fang wai qi fang 方外奇方 Bai gan lu 百感錄, “records of the One Hundred Influences” [2] Lost Ming 明 dynasty book.

DC 1510. 1 juan (AV 2 juan). The book imitates the → Zhuang zi 莊子 in using worms/bugs and fish in parables. Although the work is now lost, it was frequently quoted by Ming dynasty authors who had seen the original book, so it is to be assumed that LSZ also used it. The author Chen Xiang, style name Rubi 汝弼, literary name Guye daoren 古埜 道人, “The Ancient and Rustic Daoist,” was a man of Huai ning 怀寧.

The book is a record of the results of a scholarly discussion in 79 CE at the “White Tiger Hall” (bai hu guan 白虎觀), thus its name.

FE Wen xian tong kao 文獻通考, “Comprehensive Study of Literary and Documentary Sources.” Written by → Bai Juyi 白居易, the Tang 唐 dynasty poet, under the original name Liu tie 六帖, “Six Documents,” in 30 juan. This book was continued and revised by Kong Zhuan 孔傳 during the early Southern Song as Hou liu tie 後六帖, “The Later Six Documents,” in another 30 juan. Later, the two works were combined into the Bai Kong liu tie. 100 juan. The book collected idioms and allusions and was made use of by contemporaries when composing texts in ornate diction. It reproduces fragments from many lost books and resembles the → Bei tang shu chao 北堂書 鈔 in terms of organization and style. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text as Bai Kong liu tie [2], as Liu tie [1], and erroneously as Liu zhan 六占, “Six Divinations,” [1]. He also refers to Kong’s text as → Kong shi liu tie 孔氏六帖 [1] and quotes other books such as the → Jiang Huai yi ren lu 江淮異人錄 second hand from the Bai Kong liu tie.

FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by Zhang Zhongwen 張仲文 (fl. 1st half of the 13th century). 1 juan (surviving). The book focused on people and events of the period between 1131 and 1233. The → Shuo fu 説郛 preserves one juan of the book. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not name an author. The fragment he cites in the main text was probably taken from the Shuo fu. Bai yi 百一 → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方 Bai yi fang 百一方, “101 recipes” Medical recipe books. [2] In connection with the name of → Ge Hong 葛洪 (or Ge Zhichuan 葛 稚川), the title Bai yi fang is used erroneously for the → Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘 後備急方.
[20] Abbreviation for the → Zhou hou bai yi fang 肘後百一方 of → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景. If there is no author specified, this is the book LSZ is referring to.
[3] Abbreviation for the → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方 of → Wang Qiu 王璆. Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方, “101 Select recipes” Lost medical recipe book. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” AN originally Shizhai bai yi xuan fang 是齋百一選方, “101 Select Recipes of [Wang] Shizhai.” Written by → Wang Qiu 王璆, literary name Shizhai 是齋, “Studio of Rightness.” DC 1196. 20 juan (AV 30 juan, 28 juan). The name “101 recipes” refers to the book’s claim to be highly selective, but it in fact contained more than 2000 recipes listed under 31 categories. The book had a very limited circulation, but the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, which is probably where LSZ got his material from, quotes from it a great deal. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections and frequently quotes it in the main text, referring to it as Bai yi xuan fang [66] or as Shizhai bai yi fang 是齋百 一方, “101 Recipes of [Wang] Shizhai,” [2]. He also uses the abbreviations Bai yi fang 百一方, “101 Recipes,” [3], Bai yi 百一, “101” [1], and Xuan fang 選方, “Select Recipes,” [1], labeling these references with Wang Qiu’s name. Bai ze tu 白澤圖, “diagram of the White Swamp” [7] Lost, anonymous book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” DC probably Han 漢 dynasty. 1 juan. The title is an allusion to a myth about the Yellow Thearch (→ Huang di 黃帝 ) encountering a mythical creature with mystical knowledge of the universe in a white swamp by the seaside. According to the legend, the creature created a diagram and a text about these mysteries at the orders of the Yellow Thearch. This myth is probably what was recorded in the Bai ze tu. Fragments of the text are preserved in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → ZLBC, and other books.
33 LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections and in the main text quotes material second hand from various sources. Ban Gu 班固 (32-92) [5] Eastern Han 漢 historian and scholar. Style name Mengjian 孟堅, a man of An ling 安陵 in Fu feng 扶風, located northeast of present-day Xian yang 咸陽 in Shaan xi 陝西. Ban Gu held literary posts, including one as a court historian. By imperial order, he completed the history begun by his father, Ban Biao 班彪. This task took him more than 20 years and resulted in the → Han shu 漢書, one of the standard histories. Ban Gu also participated in the compilation of the → Dong guan Han ji 東觀漢記, he was the author of the Bai hu tong yi 白虎通義, “Comprehensive Meanings [of Discussions] in the White Tiger [Hall],” (→ Bai hu tong 白虎通) and of fu 賦 poetry such as the Liang du fu 兩都賦, “Rhapsody on the Two Capitals.” Ban lun cui ying 癍論萃英, “Condensed Quintessence of discourses on Macule [Sores]” [1] Medical text devoted entirely to “smallpox papules” (dou zhen 痘疹).

During the famine years of the xing ping 興平 reign period (194-195), he collected peng 蓬 for his diet.

The original text is part of the wu 戊 collection in the Yuan 元 period → Ju jia bi yong 居家必用. There it is referred to “authors of the old Song dynasty that received public funds” for its compilation. The Bao huo bian yi itself refers to late 12th century reigns, so the author must have lived after the time of Emperor Guang zong 光宗 (r. 1190-1194). 1 juan. The text explains how to differentiate precious materials like gold, silver, jade, agate, crystal, pearls, amber, or rhinoceros horn. During late Ming times, Hu Wenhuan 胡文煥 selected the text to make it part of the Ge zhi cong shu 格 致叢書, “Collected Books on Investigating Things and Extending Knowledge.”
34 LSZ provides the text with a separate entry in his bibliographical sections and cites material second hand from the Ju jia bi yong in the main text. Bao Ji 包佶 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official and poet. Style name Youzheng 幼正, jin shi 747. He held various legal offices and was enfeoffed as Duke of Dan yang Prefecture (Dan yang jun gong 丹陽郡公). His poems were published in 1 juan. One of them, bearing the title Bao ji xie Li li bu zeng he li le ye 抱疾謝李吏部贈訶黎勒 葉, “Thanking Li of the Ministry of Personnel for Giving Me Some Leaves of He li le While I Was Sick,” is cited by LSZ in SE he li le 訶黎勒 as → Bing zhong xie Li li bu hui he li le ye shi 病中謝李吏部惠訶黎勒葉詩. Bao jian 寶鑒 → Wei sheng bao jian 衛生寶鑒 Bao Jiming 鮑季明 [1] Southern Song 宋 person. According to the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, a “withdrawal powder” (qun xun san 逡廵散) transmitted by a beggar in Le qing 樂清 (→ Le qing gai zhe 樂清丐者) proved very effective in the treatment of “wind toothache” (feng ya tong 風牙痛) of one Bao Ziming 鮑子明. The Pu ji fang does not mention the source of this information. LSZ cites the story second hand from the → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方 in SE gao liang jiang 高良薑, rendering the name Bao Jiming. The present edition of the Bai yi xuan fang, however, holds the same recipe but neither refers to the person who transmitted it nor to anyone called Bao. Bao Jingxian 鮑景翔 (1226-1296) [1] This is the style name of Bao Yunlong 鮑雲龍, a Southern Song 宋 scholar. Literary name Luzhai 魯齋, “Dull Studio.” A man of She xian 歙縣, now part of An hui 安徽, jin shi 1258. With the conquest of his home area by the Mongols he no longer served as an official and devoted himself to mathematics. He compiled the Tian yuan fa wei 天原發微, “Exploration of the Subtleties of the Heavenly Origin,” in 1291 to elucidate the dynamics of yin and yang in heaven and on earth. LSZ cites his words in SE ren jing 人精 but fails to mention a source. Presumably he took his material from a section called Tian yi sheng shui 天一生水, “The [Star of ] Heavenly Unity Produces Water,” among the Bo wu lei 博物類, “Categories of a Wide Range of Things,” in juan 16 of the Dan qian yu lu 丹鉛餘錄, “Extra Records of Cinnabar and Lead,” (→ Dan qian lu 丹鉛錄).

FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” DC late Yuan 元, early Ming 明. 2 juan (revised version). The text was re-edited by Zhang Jie’an 張介庵, and his version was published in 1524. The
35 authors apparently sought to collect what they considered effective recipes for everyday use, dividing the material into six sections covering adults, ophthalmology, teeth, mouth, and throat diseases, external medicine, women’s medicine, and pediatrics. Each section is divided into categories, each category covering one disease and including a collection of suitable recipes. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text but does not mention an author. He also refers to a → Bao sheng fang 保生方, but this is apparently a different book. Bao shi 包氏, “Mr. Bao” [1] Unidentifiable author of the → Xu yun fu qun yu 續韻府群玉, referred to only in LSZ’s bibliography in connection with this work. No further details available. Bao shi 鮑氏, “Mr. Bao” [15] Physician of early Ming 明 times or earlier, author of the→ Bao shi xiao er fang 鮑氏小兒方. No further details available.

Attributed by LSZ to an unidentifiable → Bao shi 鮑氏. The recipes quoted by LSZ as from this book can be found in the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, which in turn quotes them from a Bao shi fang 鮑氏方, “Recipes of Mr. Bao,” so it is to be assumed that the Bao shi fang was written during early Ming 明 times or before. LSZ cites the book as Bao shi xiao er fang [2] in his bibliographical sections and the main text and also quotes fragments as Bao shi fang [8] or simply referring to the author as Bao shi [5]. The recipes quoted are not limited to pediatrics, so the title Bao shi xiao er fang may be an error.

DC 1542-1545. 2 juan (AV 4 juan). The text contains more than 140 recipes divided into 25 categories according to disease signs and treatment methods. The recipes were mostly taken from earlier works, and some were collected by the author during his travels. LSZ cites the book as Bao shou tang jing yan fang [4], as Bao shou tang fang 保壽堂方, “Recipes from the Hall of Preserving Long Life,” [27], Bao shou fang 保壽方, “Recipes to Preserve Long Life,” [1], Songhuang jing yan fang 松篁經驗方, “Tried and Proven Recipes of [Liu] Songhuang,” [1], or as → Jing yan fang 經驗方 [3] if labeled Liu Songhuang 劉 松篁 or Liu Songshi. He also labels material from the book with the name Liu

If not directly associated with Liu, the term → Jing yan fang 經驗方 might refer to various other collections as well. Bao xian yin 鮑縣尹, “district Governor Bao” [1] Ming 明 dynasty official, apparently the district magistrate (xian ling 縣令) of Le ping 樂平 in present-day Jiang xi 江西. Personal name unknown.

FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by Ge Zhe 葛哲 (1389-1491). 1 juan. Ge served as a medical official and was an expert in pediatrics. He collected those recipes from the various medical currents that he considered effective, arranged them in categories, and discussed them in detail to produce his book. After his work had been presented to the emperor, Ming Xuan zong 明宣宗 (r. 1426-1435) personally consulted it and invited Ge Zhe to a banquet to praise his work. The book is lost, but a few fragments are preserved in the Xue shi yi an 薛氏 醫案, “Medical Cases of Mr. Xue,” of → Xue Ji 薛己.

Bei hu is a designation for remote places in the South. The book holds detailed information on local conditions and products of the Ling nan 嶺南 area. It is particularly valuable as a source, since most of texts it cites are now lost. LSZ refers to the text as Bei hu lu [22] and as Duan shi bei hu lu 段氏北戶錄, “Mr. Duan’s Records of Bei hu,” [2]. Bei ji 備急 → Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急方 Bei ji fang 備急方, “recipes for Emergencies” Abbreviated title that may refer to various books.

The title is a reference to Jing zhou 荊州, which was called “the area north of Meng 夢” in ancient times. 30 juan. The book records anecdotes, words and deeds of literati, and social customs of Tang 唐 and Five Dynasties times. It is quoted by the → ZLBC, from which LSZ cites it second hand as Bei meng suo yan [6], as Suo yan 瑣言, “Anecdotes,” [1], and labeling one fragment → Tang xiao shuo 唐小説 (cf. → Cui Wei gong zhuan 崔魏公傳). Bei Qi Cui shi 北齊崔氏, “Miss Cui of Northern Qi” [1] This was the daughter of Cui Linyi 崔林義 of the Northern Qi 齊 dynasty. She possessed literary talent, and various sources, including the → Tai ping yu lan 太 平御覽, recount a tale about her applying a magical wash of peach blossoms on a child’s face. LSZ cites the same story but mistakenly regards the → Chu xue ji 初學記 as its source, which he incorrectly attributes to → Ouyang Xun 歐陽詢. The original source of the story seems to have been the Shi lüe 史略, “Brief History,” of → Yu Shinan 虞世南. Bei shan jing 北山經 → Shan hai jing 山海經 Bei shi 北史, “Northern History” [5] Standard history. Written by → Li Yanshou 李延壽. DC Tang 唐. 100 juan. The work covers the 233 year period between 386 and 618, focusing on the northern
38 dynasties Wei 魏, Qi 齊, Zhou 周, and Sui 隋. LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections and cites material about people and pharmaceutic substances in his main text. Bei tang shu chao 北堂書鈔, “Compilation of the Northern Hall” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty encyclopedia. Compiled by → Yu Shinan 虞世南. 160 juan. The work was written when the author held the post of Assistant in the Palace Library (mi shu lang 秘書郎) under the Sui 隋. The Bei tang 北堂, “Northern Hall,” from which the name of the book derives, was the rear college of the Emperor’s Palace Library (mi shu sheng 秘書省) where Yu worked. The book extracted wellknown dictums and pithy sayings from various books to make them available to contemporary writers wanting to adorn their own language. LSZ cites the work in his bibliography but not in the main text. He does, however, quote plenty of material from various works already lost by Ming 明 times but preserved in the Bei tang shu chao, so it is likely that he used the encyclopedia as a source without giving credit. Bei yuan cha lu 北苑茶錄, “Tea records of the Northern Garden” [1] Song 宋 dynasty book. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” The Jun zhai du shu zhi 郡齋讀書志, “Catalogue of Books Read at the Prefectural Study” lists it as Jian an cha lu 建安茶錄, “Tea Records of Jian an.” Written by → Ding Wei 丁謂. DC early 11th century. 3 juan. The text details harvesting and processing methods for tea in the plantations of Jian an 建安. The original text is lost, but fragments are scattered throughout Song dynasty literature. The → Ben cao yan yi 本草衍義 mentions the text, and LSZ takes the title over in SE ming 茗. Bei zheng lu 北征錄, “records of a Northern Expedition” [5] Ming 明 dynasty collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” Written by → Jin Youzi 金幼孜. The collection is divided into an earlier record (qian lu 前錄) and a later record (hou lu 後錄), 1 juan each. The earlier record deals with events that took place from the second to the seventh month during the eighth year of the yong le 永樂 reign period (1410). The later record focuses on the third to the eighth month of 1414, the twelfth year of the yong le reign period, and details the northern expedition of the Yong le emperor against the Mongols, which the author accompanied. It describes the environment through which the Ming army passed, events taking place within its camps, battle events, and the words and deeds of the emperor. Bei Zhou Wu di 北周武帝 (543-578) [1] This is Emperor Wu 武 of Northern Zhou 周, personal name Yuwen Yong 宇文 邕, r. 561-578. LSZ cites a story about him of uncertain provenance. Ben cao 本草, “Materia Medica” [154] General designation for traditional Chinese materia medica. Reference to specific works of materia medica. The BCGM often uses the term Ben cao as a reference to the → Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經 and the →

The book is a compendium of material from various Song-Jin-Yuan 宋金元 writers, e.g., → Zhang Yuansu 張元 素, → Li Gao 李杲, or → Zhu Zhenheng 朱震亨, without anything new being added by its compiler. The text contains 270 pharmaceutical monographs, juan 4 consisting of a discussion on the properties of drugs. LSZ cites the book as Ben cao fa hui [1], as Fa hui 發揮, “Elaborations,” [2], and sometimes refers to the text by the name of its compiler as Xu Yongcheng 徐用誠 [3] or Xu Yanchun [1].

FE Guo shi jing ji zhi 國史經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatises of the Dynastic Histories.” Written by → Li Shizhen 李時珍 in collaboration with a team of unknown size, which may explain the many differences in references to identical book titles and authors. DC completed 1578. 52 juan of text plus 2 juan of illustrations. The text, based on more than 800 authorities, contains 1897 monographs on pharmaceutical substances, including 374 pharmaceutical substances that LSZ himself described for the first time. Drugs are divided into 16 groups (bu 部), i.e., waters, fires, soils, metals and minerals, herbs, grains, vegetables, fruits, trees, clothes and commodities, worms/bugs, scaly animals, crustaceans, fowl, quadrupeds, and man. Each of these groups is divided into categories (lei 類). LSZ called the individual monographs gang 綱, the technical aspects described within each monograph were called mu 目. The text is preceded by 1109 illustrations, and the monographs include about 8160 medical recipes. LSZ labels his own additions consisting of information on certain drugs, recipes, or essays, with the title Ben cao gang mu [18], its abbreviation Gang mu 綱目, “Drug Descriptions and Technical Aspects,” [1064], or with some form of his name, i.e.,

The text includes 339 versified directions (ge kuo 歌括) on the properties and effects of commonly used pharmaceutic substances and was intended for easy memorization by physicians at the beginning of their studies. Illustrations of drugs are appended to the text. The supplemented volume was created in 1439 when 84 monographs were added by → Xiong Zongli 熊宗立. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it in the main text. Ben cao hui bian 本草會編, “Materia Medica Collection” CMM. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Wang Ji 汪機. DC 15221539. 20 juan. LSZ quotes the work as Ben cao hui bian [6] or as Hui bian 會編, “Collection,” [21].

FE Guo shi jing ji zhi 國史經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatises of the Dynastic Histories.” Written by → Wang Lun 王綸 (literary name Jiezhai 節齋). DC 1496. 8 juan. The text concentrates upon the most essential information on pharmaceutics, thus its title. Juan 1 describes drug properties and methods of preparation, juan 2 to 6 include monographs on 545 pharmaceutic substances divided into eight categories such as herbs, trees, vegetables, etc. Juan 7 and 8 are divided into 12 chapters on different disease categories, e.g., cold, heat, wind, phlegm, or sores. LSZ considered the collection rather conservative with too much simple repetition of older material. Nevertheless, he quotes the book as Ben cao ji yao [2], as Ji yao 集要, “Collected Essentials,” [3], Ji yao fang 集要方, “Collected Essential Recipes,” [1], and as Wang shi ji yao 王氏集要, “Mr. Wang’s Collected Essentials,” [2].

The text, which was written by Chen to serve his numerous disciples, gives a general introduction and then closely describes the technical aspects of pharmaceuticals, including production, harvesting, preparation, storage, etc. Some 742 pharmaceutical substances are discussed. LSZ thought highly of the book because it is rich in detail and makes its material easy to memorize. He quotes it as Ben cao meng quan [8], as Meng quan 蒙筌, “Elimination of Ignorance,” [19], or as Chen Jiamo ben cao 陳嘉 謨本草, “Materia Medica of Chen Jiamo,” [1].

Originally a part of the introductory sections of the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺, the text classified medicinals according to ten functional types of recipes: substances and recipes that diffuse (xuan 宣), promote free flow (tong 通), supplement (bu 補), or purge (xie 瀉), that are light (qing 輕), heavy (zhong 重), astringent (se 澀), smooth (hua 滑), dry (zao 燥), or damp (shi 濕). The → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草 preserves this part of the Ben cao shi yi, and → Wang Haogu 王好古 in his → Tang ye ben cao 湯液本草 called it Shi ji 十劑, “Ten Types of Formulas.” LSZ follows this denomination, referring to the text as Ben cao shi ji [6] or Shi ji [1], but erroneously refers the text to → Xu Zhicai 徐之才. Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺, “Supplementary amplifications to the Materia Medica” CMM. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Chen Cangqi 陳藏器. DC 739. 10 juan, including one juan of prefaces, 6 juan of supplementary material, and 3 juan of miscellaneous explanations. The book was a supplement to the → Tang ben cao 唐本草, thus its name. The original text is lost, but extensive fragments appear in various later collections, including the → Kai bao ben cao 開寶本草, the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草, and the → ZLBC. The material apparently was rather extensive and precise, and the Ben cao shi yi was the first work to classify pharmaceuticals according to the ten functional types of formulas (shi ji 十劑, → Ben cao shi ji 本草十劑). LSZ glowingly praises the book, and much of its material is found in a similar level of detail in the BCGM. LSZ quotes material second hand from the ZLBC, referring to the book as Ben cao shi yi [30], as Shi yi 拾 遺, “Supplementary Amplifications,” [870], as Chen Cangqi ben cao 陳藏器本草,
42 “Materia medica of Cheng Cangqi,” [35], as Chen shi ben cao 陳氏本草, “Materia Medica of Mr. Chen,” [3], as Chen shi shi yi 陳氏拾遺, “Mr. Chen’s Supplementary Amplifications,” [2], and as Shi yi ben cao 拾遺本草, “Materia Medica with Supplementary Amplifications,” [1]. Quotes are also assigned to their author as Chen shi 陳氏, “Mr. Chen,” [36], Chen gong 陳公, “Honorable Mr. Chen,” [1], as Cangqi 藏器 [1495], and as Qi 器 [1]. The section on the ten functional types of formulas is referred to as Ben cao shi ji [6] or Shi ji [1].

According to the Jia you ben cao, the book was intended to categorize pharmaceutical substances, eradicate repetitions, and describe drug interactions.

FE Jun zhai du shu hou zhi 郡齋讀書後志, “Supplementary Catalogue of Books Read at the Prefectural Study.” AN originally Ben cao guang yi 本草廣義, “Extended Meanings of Materia Medica,” the character guang 廣 was changed to yan 衍 due to a naming taboo of the Southern Song 宋 dynasty. Written by → Kou Zongshi 寇宗奭. DC 1116. 20 juan. The text, as its title implies, is an early example of the integration of the doctrines of yin yang and the five phases into materia medica literature, characteristic of the Song-Jin-Yuan 宋金元 era. LSZ praises it for its clarity and correction of defective information found in former sources but also criticises it for occasional inaccuracies. Copies of the Ben cao yan yi survived, and during the Yuan dynasty its material was attached by → Zhang Weiqing 張魏卿 to the individual drug monographs in the → Zheng he ben cao 政和本草. LSZ refers to the work as Ben cao yan yi [17], as Kou Zongshi ben cao 寇宗奭本草, “Materia Medica of Kou Zongshi,” [1], and as Kou shi ben cao 寇氏 本草, “Materia Medica of Mr. Kou,” [1], but more commonly cites the text by its abbreviation Yan yi 衍義, “Extended Meanings,” [72] or by the author’s name as Zongshi 宗奭 [625] or Kou xiansheng 寇先生, “Gentleman Kou,” [1].

LSZ counts nearly 200 monographs, and in his opinion the book had much new to offer, although he criticizes Zhu Zhenheng for taking over old inaccuracies from the Ben cao yan yi and for forcing interpretations by assigning drugs to the five phases. He cites the book as Ben cao yan yi bu yi [1] in his bibliographical sections, and in the main text as Bu yi 補遺, “Supplement,” [21], as Ben cao bu yi 本草補遺, “Materia Medica Supplement,” [4], as Danxi bu yi 丹溪補遺, “Danxi’s

The text contains what the author considered factual information, that is, proven recipes along with case studies, thus the name. Altogether there are more than 300 recipes with an elegantly written commentary containing many new ideas about medicine. LSZ quotes the work as Ben shi fang [87], as Pu ji ben shi fang [3], and as Ben shi 本事, “Based on Facts,” [11], sometimes in connection with the name of the author.

The book is divided into seven categories of emotion and preserves many anecdotes about Tang poets. The → ZLBC quotes a fragment which is taken over by LSZ.

LSZ cites the text in his bibliographical sections, referring it to Su shi 蘇氏, “Mr. Su.” Bi shi 鄙事 → Duo neng bi shi 多能鄙事 Bi shi 畢氏, “Mr. Bi” [1] This is LSZ’s name for Bi Zhongxun 畢仲荀 (AV Bi Zhongxun 畢仲詢), a Northern Song 宋 official.

Dong wrote the book while avoiding a flood in the upper storeys of his house, thus the title. The book is comprised of commonly used recipes considered effective and proven by the author. Pharmaceutical substances not found in earlier materia medica literature are depicted in illustrations. The book survived until Qing 清 times but is now lost. LSZ cites it as Ji yan fang 集 驗方, “Collected and Proven Recipes,” [11] in his bibliographical sections and the main text, labeling the title with the name of the author. In the main text he also refers to the work as Bi shui ji yan fang [1], as Dong shi ji yan fang 董氏集驗方, “Collected and Proven Recipes of Mr. Dong,” [1], as Bi shui fang 避水方, “Recipes [Recorded while] Avoiding the Floods,” [1], as Dong Bing yan fang 董炳驗 方, “Proven Recipes of Dong Bing,” [1], as Dong Bing fang 董炳方, “Dong Bing’s Recipes,” [1], as Dong shi fang 董氏方, “Mr. Dong’s Recipes,” [1], and using the author’s name only as Dong shi 董氏, “Mr. Dong” [1].

DC 7th or early 8th century. 3 juan (AV 10 juan). The book contained various recipes considered effective and proven. Fragments are found in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方 and the → ZLBC. LSZ quotes it as Bi xiao fang [39], occasionally labeling it with the name of the author, or simply as Bi xiao 必效, “Certainly Effective,” [4]. In two instances, however, LSZ attributes the Bi xiao fang to the Song 宋 author → Chu Yushi 初虞世. One of these quotations can be found in the ZLBC (DC 1098-1108) as well as the 4th century → Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘後備急方, which mention neither Chu’s name nor any Bi xiao fang in that context. The other quotation is from the Wai tai mi yao fang (DC 752), which lists the recipe under the caption Bi xiao. Chu wrote a → Yang sheng bi yong fang 養生必用方 in 1097 but no Bi xiao fang. Considering this and the early origin of the cited material, we may conclude that LSZ mixed up the Bi xiao fang with the abbreviation → Bi yong fang 必用方 and erroneously attributed the Meng Shen material to Chu.

There is also some material labeled with the author’s name that cannot be found in the two other books by Wu Qiu that LSZ cites, i.e., the → Huo ren xin tong 活人心統 and the → Zhu zheng bian yi 諸證辨疑.

However, it is to be assumed that Bian Que was a designation for a good physician of the Warring States period rather than a specific individual. LSZ refers to this assumed person as Bian Que [10], as Bian 扁 [1], and (in connection with the Nan jing) as Qin Yue ren [2]. Drawing upon the Shi ji, LSZ also erroneously assigns ideas associated with Bian Que about the “six conditions that cannot be cured” (liu bu zhi 六不治) to → Chunyu Yi 淳於意.

The term is used 65 times in the → Kai bao ben cao 開寶本草 and apparently refers to the Chong guang Ying gong ben cao 重廣英公 本草, “Repeatedly Expanded Materia Medica of the Duke of Ying” (→ Shu ben cao 蜀本草). This is because the latter text is an expansion of the → Tang ben cao 唐本草 (AN Ying gong ben cao 英公本草, “Materia Medica of the Duke of Ying”) and can thus be regarded as a “separate” volume. LSZ cites material second hand from the Kai bao ben cao but refers material labeled Bie ben zhu 別本注, “Annotations from the Separate Volume,” there back to the Tang ben cao, thus only seldom referring to the Shu ben cao itself as Bie ben [11] or as Bie ben zhu [4].

DC 1186. 3 juan (AV 4 juan). The book consists of 23 chapters, starting off with theoretical fundamentals like vessel movements, preserving life, yin and yang, disease mechanisms, and materia medica. Then it discusses diseases, elucidating in detail topics like etiology or drug applications. LSZ mistakenly attributes the book to → Zhang Yuansu 張元素 but fails to provide proof of this assertion, nevertheless his view was taken over by many
50 later authors. In his bibliographical sections, he also considers the very similar → Huo fa ji yao 活法機要 of Li Dongyuan 李東垣 (→ Li Gao 李杲) an alternative name for the text, although this is an entirely different work. The Yuan 元 dynasty author → Du Sijing 杜思敬 clearly distinguishes the Bao ming ji by Liu Wansu, the Huo fa ji yao by Li Dongyuan, and the → Jiegu jia zhen 潔古家珍 by Zhang Yuansu as three rather similar, yet different books. Based on his erroneous assumptions about the authorship, LSZ refers to the book as Bing ji qi yi bao ming ji [1], as Bao ming ji [36], and incorrectly as Huo fa ji yao [25]. He labels these citations with the supposed author’s names, i.e., Zhang Jiegu 張潔古, Jiegu 潔古, or Yuansu 元素. However, in other places he refers to a Bao ming ji of Liu Hejian 劉河間 (the style name of Liu Wansu), to a Huo fa ji yao of Dongyuan 東垣, i.e., Li Dongyuan, and, completely erroneously, to a Bao ming ji of → Yunqi zi 雲岐子. Thus, it seems that different ideas about the authorship of the Bao ming ji got mixed up in the BCGM.

FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” AN Dou zhen quan shu bo ai xin jian 痘疹全書博愛心鑒, “The Heart Mirror of Universal Love and the Complete Book on Smallpox Papules,” Bo ai xin jian dou zhen 博愛心鑒痘疹, “Smallpox Papules and the Heart Mirror of Universal Love.” Written by → Wei Zhi 魏直. DC 1525. 3 juan. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text. In his bibliography, he also lists the → Er nan bao jian 二難 寶鑒 by Li Xing 李滎, which includes a summary of the work under the name Bo ai xin jian cuo yao 博愛心鑒撮要, “Synopsis of the Heart Mirror of Universal Love”. Bo ji fang 博濟方 → Wang shi bo ji fang 王氏博濟方 Bo si shi zhe 波斯使者, “Envoys from Persia” [1] Tang 唐 period envoys from Fars/Persia. In its discussion of the origins of shellac, zi kuang 紫𨥥, the → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎 states that “the reports by the Persian envoys (Bo si guo shi 波斯國使) Wu hai 烏海 and Sha li shen 沙利 深 agree.” Hence, Wu hai and Sha li shen are two persons. LSZ takes this over in SE zi kuang 紫𨥥, referring to the envoys as Bo si shi zhe 波斯使者. Bo wu zhi 博物志, “Monograph on a Wide range of Things” [74] Western Jin 晉 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Zhang Hua 張華. 10 juan. Most of the book’s material is taken from older books, categorized into foreign territories, unusual things, and miscellaneous issues from ancient times. The original book was lost, and the presently circulating version is a reconstruction from fragments. The → ZLBC quotes the book, and LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and frequently in his main
52 text. LSZ may have easily confused the book with the → Bo wu zhi 博物志 attributed to → Tang Meng 唐蒙, but most of the material is apparently from the Zhang Hua text, even if no author is indicated. LSZ also refers to annotations to this text by → Zhou Riyong 周日用.
[2] This might be the lost Bo wu ji 博物記, “Records of a Wide Range of Things,” attributed by some to → Tang Meng 唐蒙. There is some controversy in Ming 明 and Qing 清 dynasty sources about the identity and authorship of a Bo wu ji cited in a note to the → Hou Han shu 後漢書 by the Liang 梁 commentator Liu Zhao 劉昭. Liu mentions Tang Meng by name in the same line, therefore some later authors like → Yang Shen 楊慎 in his → Dan qian lu 丹鉛 錄 attributed a Bo wu ji to Tang and thought it to be an entirely different work to the → Bo wu zhi 博物志 of → Zhang Hua 張華. The Ming dynasty Chi ya 赤 雅, “Southern [Er] ya,” of Kuang Lu 鄺露 speaks directly of a Bo wu zhi by Tang Meng. The Si ku quan shu zong mu ti yao 四庫全書總目提要, “Index and General Bibliography to the Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” refers to the → San guo zhi 三國志, which quotes both a Bo wu zhi and a Bo wu ji, apparently differentiating between two different books. The authors hold the opinion that Zhang Hua took the title of the earlier Bo wu ji for his own book and changed it into Bo wu zhi. In contrast, the Qing author Sun Zhizu 孫志祖 in his Du shu cuo lu 讀書脞錄, “Trivial Records [Kept While] Reading Books,” considers the Bo wu ji and the Bo wu zhi of Zhang Hua one and the same book, the attribution of the Bo wu ji to Tang Meng being based on a misunderstanding of Liu Zhao’s annotation in the Hou Han shu. LSZ apparently took over the view of his contemporary Yang Shen and gives both books called Bo wu zhi an entry in his bibliography, referring one to Zhang Hua and the other to Tang Meng. However, LSZ’s quotation in the main text is found in Zhang Hua’s Bo wu zhi as well as in Liu Zhao’s Hou Han shu annotation, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and the Dan qian lu. There are some altered characters in the BCGM when compared to the material in the source texts, which gives LSZ’s citation a completely different meaning. [1] Book probably written by → Ru Chun 如淳, cited in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. LSZ regards Ru Chun the annotator of the text. Bo ya 博雅, “Erudition” [4] Sui 隋 dynasty lexicographical text. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Compiled by → Cao Xian 曹憲. DC 605-617. 10 juan. The book is basically an annotated edition of the Wei 魏 dynasty → Guang ya 廣雅, to which it adds explanations and phonological notations. It was called Bo ya because of a naming taboo during the time of Emperor Yang 煬 of the Sui dynasty. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Bo Yan 伯顔 (1236-1295) [2] High-ranking officer of the Yuan 元, often transliterated as Ba Yan 巴延. He served as Grand Councilor of the Left (zuo cheng xiang 左丞相) and was the
53 principal general leading the Mongol troops to attack the Song 宋. His military officer Li Ting 李庭 [1] was hit by a bullet and struck down by arrows during an attack on Xin cheng 新城 in Sha yang 沙洋. Bo Yan ordered a buffalo to be cut open to place Li Ting into its abdominal cavity, and after an extended period of time the officer came back to life.

-CCai Bangdu 蔡邦度 [1] Southern Song 宋 official. Details of his life are unavailable, except that he served as a Prefect of a Superior Prefecture (zhi fu 知府). The → Bai yi xuan fang 百一 選方 lists three recipes transmitted by Cai Bangdu. They were recorded in the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, where they were erroneously attributed to a → Jing yan liang fang 經驗良方 .

His name and details about his life are unavailable. → Dong Bing 董炳, in his → Bi shui ji yan fang 避水集驗方, recorded the treatment of Cai’s wife by a monk using mu tou hui 墓頭回 to cure her from a gynecological disease. LSZ takes this over in SE mu tou hui 墓頭回. Cai dadao 蔡達道 [1] Song 宋 dynasty official who served as governor (tai shou 太守). He possessed an “elixir of Wu the immortal” (Wu xian dan 吳仙丹) to cure “phlegm rheum” (tan yin 痰飲). LSZ refers to Cai in connection with this recipe, but although he claims that he took his material from the Zhu shi ji yan fang 朱氏集驗方, “Collected Efficacious Recipes of Mr. Zhu,” (→ Ji yan fang 集驗方 ), such a recipe is not included in the Zhu shi ji yan fang at all. LSZ, in SE wu zhu yu 吳茱萸, was probably quoting from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, which contains the same recipe and associates it with governor Cai 蔡 as well. Cai heshang 蔡和尚, “Monk Cai” [1] Ming 明 period Buddhist monk. Personal name unknown. Resided at the “Iron Buddha Monastery” (tie fo si 鐵佛寺) in Jiang xia 江夏, now Wu han 武漢 in Hu bei 湖北. Once he prepared pills with mu bie ren 木鱉仁 and applied them to his hemorrhoids to make them dissolve. LSZ records this story in his → Binhu ji jian fang 瀕湖集簡方 and cites it in SE mu bie zi 木鱉子. Cai Jing 蔡京 (1047-1126) [1] Northern Song 宋 high official. Style name Yuanchang 元長, a man of Xian you 仙游 in Xing hua 興化, now part of Fu jian 福建. He rose to the posts of Vice Director of the Right (you pu ye 右僕射) and Grand Preceptor (tai shi 太師) but was later considered one of the notorious “six traitors” that were made responsible for the Song decline. The → Chun zhu ji wen 春渚紀聞 relates his story, and LSZ mentions him in SE yan long 鹽龍.
55 Cai Jiufeng 蔡九峰 (1167-1230) [1] This is the nickname of Cai Shen 蔡沈, a Southern Song 宋 scholar. Style name Zhongmo 仲默, a man of Jian yang 建陽 in present-day Fu jian 福建. He lived as a retired scholar at the town of Jiu feng 九峰, (located in Ping he 平和 county in Shan xi 山西), therefore other scholars called him Jiufeng xiansheng 九峰先 生, “Gentleman of the Nine Peaks.” Cai Shen was the second son of Cai Yuanding 蔡元定 and a disciple of Zhu Xi 朱熹 (→ Zhu zi 朱子). He specialized in the → Shang shu 尚書 and, among others, used the → Huang ji jing shi shu 皇極 經世書 of Shao Yong 邵雍 (→ Shao Yaofu 邵堯夫) to create works like the Shu ji zhuan 書集傳, “Collected Traditions of the Shang shu,” and the Hong fan huang ji 洪範皇極, “The Fundamental Laws and Supreme Principles.” LSZ cites Cai Jiufeng by name but does not indicate his source. Textual research shows that the material quoted is from juan 2 of the Hong fan huang ji. Cai Lun 蔡倫 (died 112) [1] Eastern Han 漢 official famous of his invention of paper making. Style name Jingzhong 敬仲, a man of Gui yang 桂陽 commandery, now Chen zhou 郴州 in Hu nan 湖南.

He held a regional appointment and is said to have been well-versed in Confucianism, Daoism and medicine, especially in materia medica and recipe literature. According to the → You ming lu 幽明錄, he once dreamed that his relative → Zhang Jia 張甲 suffered from “dry cholera” (gan huo luan 干霍亂) that should be treated with the ingestion of spiders. LSZ takes over this story in SE zhi zhu 蜘 蛛, referring to Cai as Cai Mo [1] and Mo 謨 [1]. Cai pu 菜譜 → Ye cai pu 野菜譜 Cai shi 蔡氏, “Mr. Cai” [2] This is Cai Qi 蔡啟, a Northern Song official and expert on poetics. Style name Kuanfu 寬父.

Author of the → Cai shi shi hua 蔡氏詩話. Cai shi shi hua 蔡氏詩話, “Mr. Cai’s Poetry Talks” Northern Song 宋 book. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by Cai Qi 蔡 啟 (→ Cai shi 蔡氏). The book does not occur in bibliographical sources after Song times and was apparently lost, although fragments survive in a number of later works from Song and Ming 明 times where it is mostly called Cai Kuanfu shi hua 蔡寬夫詩話, “Cai Kuanfu’s Poetry Talks.” LSZ cites the book as Cai shi shi hua [2] in his bibliographical sections and the main text, but this material is actually from the Juan you za lu 倦游雜錄, “Miscellaneous Records of Weary Wanderings,” (→ Juan you lu 倦游錄). In one reference to a → Shi hua 詩話

Cai wrote a Cha lu 茶錄, “Tea Records,” a → Li zhi pu 荔枝譜, and other books. Cai yi bo 蔡醫博, “Medical Erudite Cai” [3] Southern Song 宋 medical official. His personal name and details about his life are unavailable. The → Jian yi fang 簡易方 of Li Minshou 黎民壽 (→ Li Jushi 黎居士) lists numerous recipes of a Wai jiao Cai yi bo 外舅蔡醫博, “Maternal uncle, medical erudite Cai,” so Cai may have been a maternal uncle of Li Minshou. LSZ, citing from Li’s Jian yi fang, attributes three recipes to Cai yi bo, but a comparison with his source shows that only the recipe in SE li 梨 can be traced to the Mr. Cai mentioned there. Cai yong 蔡邕 (133 -192) [4] Eastern Han 漢 literary scholar and calligrapher. Style name Bojie 伯喈, a man of Chen liu yu 陳留圉, located in the south of Qi xian 杞縣 in present-day He nan 河南.

He was good at writing poetry and prose and was known for his calligraphy, especially his official script (li shu 隸書). He participated in the compilation of the → Dong guan Han ji 東觀漢記 and was the author of the → Du duan 獨斷 and a variety of other writings. Fragments of these were collected during the Ming 明 into the Cai zhong lang ji 蔡中郎集, “Collection of Cai the Inner Gentleman,” in 2 juan. LSZ lists the Du duan in his bibliographical sections but does not quote any material from it in the main text. Where he refers to Cai Yong in the main text, this material is not from the Du duan but from other texts found in the → Tong zhi 通志 and the → Er ya yi 爾雅翼. LSZ also quotes the → Yue ling 月令 and the → Qin cao 琴操 of Cai Yong, again drawing upon secondary sources for the lost works.
57 Cai yu yi 蔡御醫, “Imperial Physician Cai” [1] Southern Song 宋 imperial physician. Personal name and details about his life are unavailable. He once used pu huang 蒲黃 and gan jiang 乾薑 to cure Emperor → Song Du zong 宋度宗 from a swollen tongue. LSZ cites this in SE xiang pu 香蒲. Cai zhi tu 採芝圖, “Illustrations of Collecting Zhi” [1] Book of illustrations of zhi 芝 fungi. Many illustrated texts called Cai zhi 採芝, “Collecting Zhi,” were recorded over the centuries. The material quoted from a Cai zhi tu in LSZ’s main text is taken from a section called Xian ren cai zhi tu 仙 人採芝圖, “Illustrations of Immortals Collecting Zhi,” in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, juan 986, so it must date to Song 宋 times or before. Cai Zongyan 蔡宗顔 [2] Man of the Northern Song 宋 dynasty. He held a local office, other details about his life are unknown. He wrote the Cha shan jie dui 茶山節對, “Brief Answers from the Tea Mountain” (→ Cha dui 茶對), cited by LSZ.

The book holds material on the Eight Trigrams (ba gua 八卦) and uses much specialized vocabulary to discuss alchemical lore and immortality. It also attempted to unify the three philosophical streams of the Great Change (da yi 大易, i.e., the Book of Changes), the Inner Furnace (lu huo 爐火, i.e., inner alchemy), and Huang lao 黃老 thought.

The material on yun hao 芸蒿 he cites can be found in the Qi min yao shu, the Yi wen lei ju, the Chen shi xiang pu 陳氏香譜, “Mr. Chen’s Treatise on Aromatic Substances,” of Chen Jing 陳敬, and other books, and it remains unclear which work LSZ used as a source.

As a collector of bronzes, books, calligraphy, and other old and rare things, he knew how to assess their authenticity and value. Summing up this knowledge he composed the Ge gu yao lun 格古要論, “Essential Discourses on the Investigation of Ancient Things,” called → Ge gu lun 格古 論 by LSZ.

His original literary collection is now lost, but there is a Song 宋 period collection of fragments called the → Cao Zijian ji 曹子建 集. LSZ cites this work and refers to Cao as Cao Zhi [3] and as Cao Zijian 曹 子建 [2]. Cao Zijian 曹子建 → Cao Zhi 曹植 Cao Zijian ji 曹子建集, “Collection of Cao Zijian” Lost literary collection.

There is a Song 宋 volume that was put together from fragments. LSZ lists the book as Cao Zijian ji [1] in his bibliographical sections but does not refer to it directly in the main text. He does, however, refer to the Qi qi 七啟, “Seven Explanations,” [1], to the E niao lun 惡 鳥論, “Discourse on Malicious Birds,” [1], which are both part of the Cao Zijian ji, and he likewise refers material from the collection to Cao Zhi [2] without naming the book.

The encyclopedia describes the deeds of lords and ministers from ancient times to the Five Dynasties period and is arranged into 31 parts (bu 部) with a great number of chapters (men 門). Its material primarily consists of historiographical works (shi bu 史部) but also includes Confucian classics (jing bu 經部) and other philosophical works (zi bu 子部). Fragments from a great number of pre-Song historical texts are preserved in the book. It does, however, not include novels and anecdotes (shuo bu 説部), that is, fiction, brush notes (bi ji 筆記), etc. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not refer to it directly in the main text. Nevertheless, he probably drew upon the encyclopedia for many of the lost pre-Song sources he cites. Cen Can 岑參 (c. 715-770) [1] Tang 唐 dynasty poet. A man of Jiang ling 江陵, now Jing zhou 荊州 in Hu bei 湖北, jin shi 744. He held various national and local posts, including that of prefect (ci shi 刺史) of Jia zhou 嘉州, for which reason he was called Cen Jiazhou 岑 嘉州. He is known for his heptasyllabic ballad-songs (qi yan ge xing 七言歌行). His writings are collected in the Cen Jiazhou shi ji 岑嘉州詩集, “Poetry Collection of Cen Jiazhou,” cited by LSZ as the → Cen Can shi ji 岑參詩集.

Cha xu 茶序, “Introduction to Tea” [1] This is a Tang 唐 dynasty text that was most probably called Dai cha yin xu 代茶 飲序, “Introduction to Replacing Tea Drinking.” Written by → Wu Jiong 毋煚 to elucidate the dangers associated with the consumption of tea. The Tang xin yu 唐新語, “New Talks of the Tang,” calls this text Dai cha lu xu 代茶錄序, “Introduction to the Record on Replacing Tea,” by Wu Xiong 毋焸. The → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 refers to it as Dai cha yin xu of Qimu Jing 綦母景, and the → ZLBC writes Cha yin xu 茶飲序, “Introduction to Drinking Tea,” by Mu Jing 母 景. LSZ cites this second hand as the Cha xu of Wu Jiong 毋炅 in SE ming 茗. Taking all these writings into account as well as the historical facts about the author found in the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” and Xin Tang shu 新唐書, “New History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書), the correct names of book and author must be Dai cha yin xu 代茶飲序 and Wu Jiong 毋煚.

In 897, Zhou Ting 周頲 rearranged and supplemented the book with one juan containing material by himself and others. The → ZLBC and the → Fu ren liang fang 婦人良方 quote fragments, which are taken over by LSZ. LSZ cites the book as Chan bao [36], as Chan bao fang 產寶方, “Recipes from the Jewels of Childbirth,” [4], and as Chan bao jian 產寶鑒, “Mirror of the Jewels of Childbirth,” [4], frequently adding the name of the author before the book title.

FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” 1 juan. Further details unavailable. LSZ lists the text in his bibliographical sections and in his main text claims that it was included in the Daoist Canon (→ Dao zang jing 道藏經). He considers it a crude work and therefore summarizes its essential points. The material quoted is Daoist and includes instructions for nurturing life by taking longevity medications. Chang qing ji 長慶集, “The Chang qing reign Period Collection” LSZ’s abbreviation for the Bai shi chang qing ji 白氏長慶集, “Mr. Bai’s Chang qing Reign Period Collection,” the literary collection of Tang 唐 dynasty poet → Bai Juyi 白居易.

63 chang qing 長慶 reign period (821-824) during which its compilation was started. 75 juan, 71 juan surviving that include 37 juan of poetry and 34 juan of prose. LSZ cites the collection as the Chang qing ji [1] of Bai Letian in his bibliographical sections but in the main text refers instead to the Bai Letian shi 白樂天詩, “Poems of Bai Letian,” [2], the Bai Letian ji 白樂天集, “Collection of Bai Letian,” [1], or just to the author’s name Bai Juyi 白居易 [3]. Passages referred to the Li zhi tu xu 荔枝圖序, “Introduction to the Lychee Illustrations,” [1] or the Tu xu 圖序, “Introduction to the Illustrations,” [1] are also taken from this book.

FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written during the chang qing 長慶 reign period (821-824), thus its name. Originally 100 juan but, already fragmentary by Song 宋 times, only 60 juan survive. These consist of 27 juan of shi 詩 and fu 賦 poetry and 33 juan of prose. LSZ cites the work as Chang qing ji [5] in his bibliographical sections and the main text, referring it to Yuan Zhen every time, and as Yuan Zhen shi 元稹詩, “Poetry of Yuan Zhen,” [1]. Chang Qizhi 常器之 [1] This is the style name of Chang Yingshi 常穎士, a Song 宋 dynasty physician with special expertise in the medical field of sores and lesions (yang ke 瘍 科), who gained a post as Imperial Physician (guo yi 國醫) at the beginning of the Southern Song. In 1154, he diagnosed the mother of → Shi Yuan 史源 with “melting and thirst” (xiao ke 消渴), i.e., diabetes. The Shang han bu wang lun 傷 寒補亡論, “Discourse Supplementing the Lost Parts of the Shang han [lun],” of the Song author Guo Yong 郭雍 and the → Wai ke jing yao 外科精要 of → Chen Ziming 陳自明 both quote material associated with him, and LSZ mentions him in SE sha cao 莎草.

During the xuan he 宣和 reign period (1119-1125) he obtained an “elixir of Wu the immortal” (Wu xian dan 吳仙丹) from → Cai Dadao 蔡達道 and successfully cured his phlegm rheum disease (tan yin bing 痰飲病) with it. LSZ cites this in SE wu zhu yu 吳茱萸. Changsun Wuji 長孫無忌 (died 659) Tang 唐 dynasty official. Style name Fuji 輔機, a man of Luo yang 洛陽 in present-day He nan 河南. For assisting the Tang emperor Tai zong 太宗 in gaining the throne, he was awarded the title Duke of the State of Zhao (Zhao guo gong 趙國公). In 657 he was ordered to undertake the compilation of the → Tang ben cao 唐本草 along with Su Jing 蘇敬 (→ Su Gong 蘇恭), therefore he is often considered the work’s main editor. Changsun was suspected to have plotted re-
64 bellion and sent to exile in 659, where he committed suicide by hanging himself. He was succeeded by → Li Ji 李勣 in the compilation of the Tang ben cao. LSZ cites him as Changsun Wuji [1] or simply as Wuji 無忌 [1]. Chao fu 巢父 [1] Legendary hermit at the time of the mythical emperor → Yao 堯. The Gao shi zhuan 高士傳,“Biographies of Eminent Scholars,” of → Huangfu Mi 皇甫謐 states: “He built his nest in a tree and slept there,” hence he was nicknamed Chao fu 巢父, “Old Man from the Nest.” He was a friend of →Xu You 許由. When Yao wished to abdicate, he offered his position to Chao fu and Xu You. Both declined. LSZ mentions him in SE shi liu chi 石硫赤.

The book describes things seen and heard in court and commonality and records quotations of certain people. The title “Conversations with Guests” indicates the origin of these anecdotes. LSZ, mistakenly substituting hua 話 for yu 語, does not ever cite the text by its proper name. Instead, he lists the book as Ke hua 客話, “Talks with Guests,” [1] in his bibliographical sections, referring it to Chao’s style name Chao Yidao, and cites it as Chao shi ke hua 晁氏客話, “Mr. Chao’s Talks with Guests,” [1] in the main text. Chao ye qian zai 朝野僉載, “Complete records from Court and Commona lity” [8] Lost Tang 唐 dynasty collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). Written by → Zhang Zhuo 張鷟. 20 juan. The text recorded stories from court and commonality during Sui 隋 and Tang times. Fragments are preserved in the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記, and based on these fragments an edition was restored later. Chao yidao 晁以道 (1059-1129) This is the style name of Chao Shuozhi 晁説之, a Song 宋 dynasty official and poet. Literary name Jingyu 景迂, “Bright and Literal-Minded,” a man of Qing feng 清豐 in present-day He nan 河南. He is described as a learned man with wide-ranging knowledge, an accomplished poet and calligrapher, and a specialist in the study of the → Zhou yi 周易. Chao held court posts and was the author of a Jingyu sheng ji 景迂生集, “Mr. Jingyu’s Collection,” and the → Chao shi ke yu 晁氏客語. LSZ refers to him as Chao Yidao [1] and within an incorrect designation for the latter book as Chao shi 晁氏, “Mr. Chao,” [1]. Chao yuanfang 巢元方 Sui 隋 dynasty medical official. Details about his life are lacking, except that he held high medical posts between 605 and 616. Author of the Zhu bing yuan hou

Chao zhou zhi 潮州志, “Chao zhou Gazetteer” [1] Local gazetteer. FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” LSZ quotes a Chao zhou zhi in SE wu zi shi 五子實 but does not indicate its author or date of composition. During the Ming 明 dynasty reign periods yong le 永樂 (1403-1425), zheng tong 正統 (1436-1450), jing tai 景泰 (1450-1457), tian shun 天順 (1457-1465), hong zhi 弘治 (1488-1506), and jia jing 嘉 靖 (1522-1567), the Chao zhou zhi was repeatedly revised, but the text has apparently not been preserved.

The Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang,” states that he was active during the reigns of the Tang emperors → Xian zong 憲宗 and Mu zong 穆 宗 (806-824). Author of the lost → Zhuo yi ji 卓異記. A book of this name is sometimes attributed to → Li Ao 李翱 or Chen Han 陳翰, but these names are probably textual errors. Chen Baisha 陳白沙 (1422-1500) [1] This is one of the names of Chen Xianzhang 陳獻章, a Ming 明 dynasty scholar. Style name Gongfu 公甫, a man of Xin hui 新會 in present-day Guang dong 廣 東. Chen also dwelt at a village called Bai sha 白沙 for a while, thus his name. He was a provincial graduate (ju ren 舉人), and in 1447 he was recommended for a post at the Han lin 翰林 Academy. His teachings emphasized meditation in order to gain insight and were transmitted by his disciples as the Bai sha school of thought. Chen’s writings are collected in the → Chen Baisha ji 陳白沙集. Chen Baisha ji 陳白沙集, “Collection of Chen Baisha” [1] Literary collection. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by the Ming 明 writer Chen Xianzhang 陳獻章 (→ Chen Baisha 陳白沙). 9 juan, with 4 juan of prose and 5 juan of poetry. Today, there are the Si ku quan shu 四庫全書, “Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” and other editions. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not refer to it directly in the main text. Chen Beishan 陳北山 [1] This is the nickname of Chen Kongshuo 陳孔碩, a Song 宋 dynasty Neo-Confucian philosopher. Style name Fuzhong 膚仲, Chongqing 崇清. People also
66 called him Beishan xiansheng 北山先生, “Gentleman of the Northern Mountains,” thus his nickname Chen Beishan. A man of Hou guan 侯官, now Fu zhou 福州 in Fu jian 福建, jin shi 1175. Chen Kongshuo’s grandfather and father were both known as Neo-Confucian philosophers who studied with Zhu Xi 朱熹 (→ Zhu zi 朱子) in Wu yi 武夷. He held various high official posts in the central government and died at the age of more than 80 years. After his mother fell ill, Chen studied medicine and in 1209 he organized a medical service for the treatment of epidemics in the capital. He published an edition of the → Mai jing 脈 經 in Guang xi 廣西. LSZ cites a recipe transmitted by him from the → Ren zhai zhi zhi fang 仁齋直指方 in SE ba dou 巴豆. Chen Bian 陳抃 Song 宋 dynasty official. A man of Jian an 建安, now Jian ou 建甌 in Fu jian 福建, jin shi during the yuan feng 元豐 reign period (1078-1085). Author of the Shou ji bei ji jing xiao fang 手集備急經效方, “Tried and Efficacious Recipes for Emergencies, Collected by Hand.” LSZ assigns the → Jing yan fang 經驗方 and the → Jing yan hou fang 經驗後方, both quoted in the → ZLBC, to Chen. However, considering the life dates of Chen Bian, it is unlikely for chronological reasons that the ZLBC would have quoted Chen’s works, so LSZ is apparently mistaken here. LSZ refers to Chen as Chen Bian [1] and as Chen shi 陳氏, “Mr. Chen,” [5] (cf. → Chen shi 陳氏 ). Chen cang ren 陳倉人, “Man from Chen cang” [1] Qin 秦 dynasty person of Chen cang 陳倉, now in the north of Bao ji shi 寶雞 市 in Shaan xi 陝西. Personal name lost.

A man of Ming zhou 明州, now Ning bo 寧波 in Zhe jiang 浙江, who moved to San yuan 三原 in present-day Shaan xi 陝西 to take up a local post. Because of his perception of the inadequacies of the → Tang ben cao 唐本草, he wrote the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 to supplement and correct it. LSZ, who used extensive fragments of the Ben cao shi yi quoted in the → ZLBC, thought highly of the detailed information in it. He refers to Chen as Chen Cangqi [127], Chen shi 陳氏, “Mr. Chen,” [41], Chen gong 陳公, “Honorable Mr. Chen,” [1], Cangqi 藏器 [1495], and as Qi 器 [1]. Chen Cangqi ben cao 陳藏器本草 → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 Chen Cheng 陳承 Northern Song 宋 expert in pharmaceutics.

Served as governor (tai shou 太守) in Zhong zhou 忠州. He was cured by → Shang zhu jiao 商助教 from a “blockage-illness” (bi 痺) with a “powder to nourish the kidneys” (yang shen san 養腎散).

Chen gong 陳公 → Chen Cangqi 陳藏器 Chen Gong 陳拱 → Hong Gong 洪栱 Chen Guangshu 陳光述 [1] Ming 明 dynasty person. Further details unavailable. The Tan Yeweng fang 談野 翁方, “Recipes of Tan Yeweng,” (→ Shi yan fang 試驗方) of approximately the late 15th century, records a recipe transmitted by him, and LSZ takes this over in SE jin si cao 金絲草. Chen Jiamo 陳嘉謨 (1486-1565?) Ming 明 dynasty specialist in pharmaceutics. Style name Tingcai 廷采, literary name Yuepeng 月朋, “Friend of the Moon,” a man of Qi men 祁門 in present-day An hui 安徽. Having been a sickly child, Chen took a special interest in medicine and became an accomplished physician. He is the author of the → Ben cao meng quan 本草蒙筌. LSZ refers to him as Chen Jiamo [17] and as Jiamo 嘉 謨 [29]. He also mentions his style name Tingcai [1] in the description of the Ben cao meng quan. Chen Jiamo ben cao 陳嘉謨本草 → Ben cao meng quan 本草蒙筌 Chen jie yuan Jiyan 陳解元吉言, “First-Place Candidate Chen Jiyan” [1] This is Chen Jiyan 陳吉言, a Ming 明 dynasty person. A man of Qi zhou 蘄, now Qi chun 蘄春 in Hu bei 湖北. In 1525 he ranked as first-place candidate (jie yuan 解元) in the provincial imperial examinations in Hu guang 湖廣, thus the designation LSZ uses for him. Chen participated in the compilation of the Qi zhou zhi 蘄州志,“Qi zhou Gazetteer.” One recipe transmitted by him appears in LSZ’s → Binhu ji jian fang 瀕湖集簡方 and is taken over in SE guan zhong 貫衆. Chen Jingchu 陳景初 [1] Famous physician of the Northern Song 宋 dynasty. During the yuan feng 元豐 reign period (1078-1086), he lived in Huai nan 淮南, now Yang zhou 揚州 in Jiang su 江蘇. He once treated a family member of → Wang Anshi 王安石. The → Fu ren liang fang 婦人良方 contains his recipe for curing “water swelling” (shui zhong 水腫) that he apparently transmitted to → Li Boshi 李伯時. LSZ cites it in SE tian xian teng 天仙藤.

LSZ mistakenly attributes a fragment from the → Xiao pin fang 小品方 to Chen Linqiu. Chen Pengnian 陳彭年 (961-1017) [1] Northern Song 宋 official. Style name Yongnian 永年, a man of Nan cheng 南 城 in Fu zhou 撫州, now part of Jiang xi 江西. He passed the jin shi examinations during the yong xi 雍熙 reign period (984-988) and held high court offices. Chen apparently was a man of great learning and on imperial order revised the → Qie yun 切韻 to produce the → Guang yun 廣韻. He also participated in the compilation of the → Ce fu yuan gui 冊府元龜. During the last reign period of the Southern Tang 唐 dynasty, Chen was frequently involved at court and witnessed historical events there personally. As a consequence, Chen’s → Jiang nan bie lu 江南別錄 is a major primary source for the history of Southern Tang. Chen has a biography in the → Song shi 宋史. LSZ quotes his Jiang nan bie lu and the Guang yun. Chen Po 陳坡 [1] Southern Song 宋 person. A man of Kuo cang 括蒼 in present-day Li shui 麗 水 in Zhe jiang 浙江, jin shi 1247.

A man of Gu ling 古靈 in the southwest of present-day Hou guan 侯官 in Fu jian 福建. Among other posts, Chen served as Overseer-General (zong ling 總領) in Si chuan 四川 and was therefore called Chen zong ling 陳總領, “Overseer-General Chen.” He enjoyed collecting
69 famous and proven recipes and eventually compiled the Yijian zhi lei bian 夷堅 志類編, “Categorized Compilation of the Records of Yijian,” (→ Lei bian 類編). Chen also edited some recipes transmitted by his brother-in-law → Fang Yiwu 方夷吾 to produce the Fang shi ji yao fang 方氏集要方, “Collected Important Recipes of Mr. Fang,” (→ Ji yao fang 集要方 ) and authored a → Jing yan fang 經驗方 . Another book compiled by him is the Yin jiang zhi 鄞江志, “Gazetteer of Yin jiang,” (DC 1198). LSZ refers to Chen as Chen Rihua [7], as Chen zong ling [2], and possibly as Chen shi 陳氏, “Mr. Chen,” [4] (cf. → Chen shi 陳氏 ). Chen shi 陳氏, “Mr. Chen” [41] In connection with material on pharmaceutical substances, this is → Chen Cangqi 陳藏器, author of the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺. [5] In connection with the → Jing yan fang 經驗方 and the → Jing yan hou fang 經驗後方, this is an erroneous reference to → Chen Bian 陳抃. Note that in connection with the Jing yan fang, this may be a reference to → Chen Rihua 陳日華 as well.

LSZ mentions him in SE lü dou 綠豆. Chen shi ben cao 陳氏本草 → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 Chen shi fang 陳氏方, “recipes of Mr. Chen” [1] In connection with the ju qing gu bai 舉卿古拜 powder, this is is a reference to recipes by Chen Xuan 陳選, an otherwise unknown person of Southern Song or earlier. The → Ben shi fang 本事方 of → Xu Shuwei 許叔微 states that Chen Xuan’s recipes contained the “two substances ju qing and gu bai.” In the same entry, LSZ refers the recipe to Chen Wuze 陳無擇 (→ Chen Yan 陳言), but Chen Yan’s → San yin fang 三因方 does not mention any such material, so the source of LSZ’s citation in SE jia su 假蘇 is unclear, as is the identification of the terms ju qing and gu bai. [1] In connection with a “two spirit pill” (er shen wan 二神丸), this is the → Jing yan fang 經驗方 of → Chen Rihua 陳日華. The recipe is found in the → Fu ren liang fang 婦人良方, which attributes it to that author. LSZ takes it over in SE bi ba 蓽茇.
70 Chen shi jing yan fang 陳氏經驗方, “Mr. Chen’s Tried and Proven recipes” [4] This title may refer to any of the following texts: The → Jing yan fang 經驗方 of → Chen Rihua 陳日華
The → Jing yan fang 經驗方 attributed by LSZ incorrectly to → Chen Bian 陳抃 Chen shi lang 陳侍郎, “Vice director Chen” [1] This is the official title of Chen Yanxiu 陳彥修, an early Southern Song 宋 official. He served as Vice Director (shi lang 侍郎) in Kang zhou 康州, now De qing 德慶 in Guang dong 廣東. Chen once suffered from an extreme case of “wind depletion” (feng xu 風虛) and was restored to health by Wu Neihan 吳内翰 (→ Wu Qian 吳幵) with “monkshood powder” (bai fu zi san 白附子散). The → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方 recounts this event, and LSZ cites it in SE bai fu zi 白附 子 but gives the → Yang shi jia cang fang 楊氏家藏方 as his source. Chen shi shi yi 陳氏拾遺 → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 Chen shi xiao er fang 陳氏小兒方 → Xiao er fang 小兒方 Chen Shigu fang 陳師古方, “recipe of Chen Shigu” [1] Source of recipes. Towards the end of the Northern Song 宋, a man is documented with the name of Chen Shigu 陳師古. It is unclear whether this is the person LSZ is referring to, and the origin of the recipe cited in SE fan shi 礬石 remains uncertain. Chen Shiliang 陳士良 Southern Tang 唐 dynasty official, also written Chen Shiliang 陳仕良. Fl. mid10th century, further details about his life are unavailable. His official functions included a minor medical post, where Chen collected material on dietetics and composed the → Shi xing ben cao 食性本草. LSZ refers to him as Chen Shiliang [17] or simply as Shiliang 士良 [52]. Note that the contemporary BCGM editor Liu Hengru 劉衡如 suspects → Chen Xun 陳巽 to be an (erroneous) style name or given name of Chen Shiliang. Chen Shiliang ben cao 陳士良本草 → Shi xing ben cao 食性本草 Chen Shou 陳壽 (233-297) [2] Western Jin 晉 historiographer.

In 1185 he suffered from a “water swelling” (shui zhong 水腫) and was dying, but the ingestion of da suan 大蒜 saved his life. LSZ cites this story

Chen Wenzhong fang 陳文中方 → Xiao er fang 小兒方 Chen Wuze 陳無擇 → Chen Yan 陳言 Chen Xun 陳巽 (10th or 11th century) [3] Northern Song 宋 medical official. The → Shuo fu 説郛 records Lü Yijian 呂夷 簡 (978-1040) citing the words of a medical official called Chen Xun, so Chen must have lived during the 10th or at the beginning of the 11th century. His recipes were quoted in the → ZLBC, and later works refer to a → Chen Xun fang 陳巽方, cited by LSZ. The → TJBC, from which LSZ takes one citation, quotes a Chen Xunchu 陳巽處 rather than saying Chen Xun yan 陳巽言, “Chen Xun says,” as LSZ does. So yan 言 possibly being a slip of the pen for chu 處, Chen’s real name might have been Chen Xunchu instead of Chen Xun. The contemporary BCGM editor Liu Hengru 劉衡如 even suspects Xunchu 巽處 to be the style name or given name of → Chen Shiliang 陳士良. Chen Xun fang 陳巽方, “recipes of Chen Xun” Medical recipe book. Apparently written by → Chen Xun 陳巽. Cited as Chen Xun fang [1] and as Jing yan fang 經驗方, “Tried and Proven Recipes,” [1] by Chen Xun.

LSZ erroneously cites a → Jin xi xian wan biao 進豨薟丸表 of Cheng’s and incorrectly writes his name Cheng Na 成納 [1]. Elsewhere in SE xi xian 豨薟, he refers to him correctly as Cheng Ne [1]. Cheng Shasui 程沙隨 [1] This is the nickname of Cheng Jiong 程迥, an early Southern Song 宋 official. Style name Kejiu 可久, a man of Ying tian fu 應天府 in Ning ling 寧陵, now
76 Ning ling county in He nan 河南. His family home was in Sha sui 沙隨 in the northwest of Ning ling county, hence he was called Shasui xiansheng 沙隨先生, “Gentleman of Sha sui,” or Cheng Shasui. After the disorders of the jing kang 靖康 reign period (1125-1127), he moved to Yu yao 余姚 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江. Jin shi 1163.

One of his books was the Yi jing zheng ben shu 醫經正本書, “Book on the Orthodox Foundations of the Medical Classics.” LSZ, citing the → Juan you lu 倦游錄, states that Cheng was transmitted a recipe to treat hernia by → Xin Jiaxuan 辛稼軒. However, the Juan you lu is a Northern Song book, and it cannot have recorded events from the Southern Song. Instead, LSZ probably took his material in SE yi yi 薏苡 from the Southern Song → You huan ji wen 游宦紀聞. Cheng shi 成氏 → Cheng Wuji 成無己 Cheng shi 程氏 → Cheng zi 程子 Cheng shi yi shu 程氏遺書, “The Posthumous Works of the Cheng [Brothers]” Northern Song 宋 book.

Written by Li Yu 李籲, Lü Dalin 呂大臨, and other disciples of Cheng Hao 程顥 and Cheng Yi 程頤 (→ Cheng zi 程子). 25 juan, plus a one juan appendix and 12 juan of outer writings (wai shu 外書). The book records conversations with the Cheng brothers and their various essays. It was included later into the Er Cheng quan shu 二程全書, “The Complete Writings of the Two Cheng [Brothers].” LSZ cites the book as Cheng shi yi shu [2] in his bibliographical sections and the main text. There he also refers to it as Cheng zi yi shu 程子遺書, “The Posthumous Works of the Cheng Masters,” [1] or simply to the Cheng zi 程子, “Masters Cheng,” [1]. However, the material on canine kidney stones and gallstones (gou bao 狗寳 and pi shi 癖石) quoted as from the Cheng shi yi shu or Cheng zi yi shu is actually not from this book but from the Qianxi wen ji 潛溪文集, “Literary Collection of [Song] Qianxi,” (→ Qianxi ji 潛溪集) of → Song Lian 宋濂. Cheng Tang 成湯, “Tang the Perfect” (17th century BCE) [1] This is Tang 湯, founder of the Shang 商 dynasty (17th to 11th century BCE). Personal name Fu 履. Originally a chief of the Shang tribe, his power increased until eventually he is said to have overthrown the Xia 夏 dynasty to found the Shang. LSZ mentions him in SE ji 稷. Cheng Wuji 成無己 (c. 1066-1156?) Jin 金 dynasty physician. A man of Liao she 聊攝 in present-day Shan dong 山東. Born into a family of scholar-physicians, he became a specialist in “harm caused by cold” (shang han 傷寒) disorders. He provided notes and commentaries for the then current version of the → Shang han lun 傷寒論 of → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景, thus creating the Zhu jie shang han lun 注解傷寒論, “The Shang han lun, Annotated and Explained,” (DC 1144). Based upon the theories of
77 the Huang di nei jing 黃帝内經, “Inner Classic of the Yellow Thearch,” he tried to explain the principles of Zhang Zhongjing’s pattern differentiation, recipes, and drug application. Cheng also wrote a → Shang han ming li lun 傷寒明理論, published in 1142, in which he elucidates diagnosis and treatment of shang han disorders. LSZ extensively quotes Cheng’s notes to the Shang han lun and also his Shang han ming li lun, referring to him as Cheng Wuji [44] and as Cheng shi 成氏, “Mr. Cheng” [3]. Cheng Xian 乘閒 [1] Man of the Northern Song 宋 dynasty, details unknown. He is attributed a → Ji xiao fang 集效方 . Cheng Xian fang 乘閒方 → Ji xiao fang 集效方 Cheng Zhou zuo Wu 程周佐吳, “[Mr.] Cheng and [Mr.] Zhou assist Wu” [1] Historical event. Cheng is Cheng Pu 程普, the famous general of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. Zhou is Zhou Yu 周瑜, whom Cheng, being the older one, made fun of because of his young age. Zhou, however, took his remarks stoically and Cheng came to respect him later. Together they greatly assisted the kingdom of Wu. Cheng zi 程子, “Masters Cheng” These are the Northern Song 宋 philosophers and brothers Cheng Hao 程顥 (1032-1085) and Cheng Yi 程頤 (1033-1107), known collectively as the Er Cheng 二程, “The Two Cheng [Brothers],” pioneers of Neo-Confucian thought. LSZ refers to them as Cheng zi [2] and within the title of the → Cheng shi yi shu 程 氏遺書 as Cheng shi 程氏, “The Cheng Gentlemen,” [2]. The passage on hail referred to Cheng zi can be found in the Cheng shi yi shu and other books related to the brothers, but the material on canine kidney stones and gallstones (gou bao 狗寳 and pi shi 癖石) is taken from the Qianxi wen ji 潛溪文集, “Literary Collection of [Song] Qianxi,” (→ Qianxi ji 潛溪集) of → Song Lian 宋濂 rather than the Cheng works. Cheng zi yi shu 程子遺書 → Cheng shi yi shu 程氏遺書 Chengliang 承亮 → Ren Chengliang 任承亮 Chengtian daoshi 承天道士, “The daoist Master Who received Heaven” [1] Northern Song 宋 or pre-Song Daoist master.

FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄 解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness” Compiled by the author’s son, Changru 長孺. 133 juan. It is comprised of shi 詩 and fu 賦 poetry, prose, etc. There are Song 宋 and Ming 明 editions. LSZ lists the book as Chengzhai ji [1] in his bibliographical sections but does not refer to it directly
78 in the main text. He does, however, cite verses from Yang’s poetry there, referring to Yang Wanli [1] or, using the author’s literary name, to Yang Chengzhai 楊誠齋 [3]. Chi ba shi 赤犮氏, “Gentleman [in Charge of ] removing [Bugs]” Official post recorded in the Minister of Justice in the Autumn Office (qiu guan si kou 秋官司寇) section of the → Zhou li 周禮, in charge of eliminating “fox bugs” (li chong 狸蟲) from the walls and warding off gu 蠱 poison. The character ba 犮 is sometimes erroneously written fu 祓, therefore LSZ refers to this office as Chi ba shi [1] and Chi fu shi 赤祓氏, “Gentleman [in Charge of ] Rituals to Ward Off Calamities,” [1]. Chi fu shi 赤祓氏 → Chi ba shi 赤犮氏 Chi shi 翨氏, “Gentleman of Wings” [1] Official post recorded in the Minister of Justice in the Autumn Office (qiu guan si kou 秋官司寇) section of the → Zhou li 周禮, in charge of fighting off ferocious birds. LSZ mentions this in SE chi xiu 鴟鵂. Chi you 蚩尤 [1] Mythological chieftain of the nine Li 黎 tribes in the East, killed by the Yellow Thearch (→ Huang di 黃帝 ). His story is related in the → Xuanyuan ben ji 軒轅本紀 of → Wang Guan 王瓘 and cited second hand by LSZ in SE feng xiang zhi 楓香脂. Chifu 赤斧 Immortal from the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period, sometimes surnamed Liu 劉. A man of Ba rong 巴戎. Legend has it that by taking longevity elixirs Chi Fu reversed the natural aging process, resembling a young boy with red hair. He is said to have climbed Hua shan 華山 to gather yu yu liang 禹餘糧 as food. The → Lie xian zhuan 列仙傳 has his biography. Chijiao Zhang 赤腳張, “Barefoot Zhang” [1] Legendary stranger of Ming 明 times. The → Bao shou tang jing yan fang 保壽 堂經驗方 (DC 1542-1545) lists a recipe for pills with di xian 地仙 transmitted by him, and LSZ takes this over in SE gou qi 枸杞. Chisong xiansheng 赤松先生 → Chi song zi 赤松子 Chisong zi 赤松子, “The red Pine Master” Ancient mythological immortal. Legend has it that he was a rain god during the time of → Shen nong 神農 , others made him the teacher of Emperor Ku 嚳, and in later times he was seen as a follower of religious Daoism. Stories about him are found in Daoist sources such as the → Baopu zi 抱扑子 or the → Lie xian zhuan 列仙傳, and it was the → Xu qi xie ji 續齊諧記 that referred to Chisong zi as Chisong xiansheng 赤松先生, “Red Pine Gentleman.” LSZ cites these legends second hand, referring to the immortal as Chisong zi [3] and Chisong xiansheng [1].

79 Chou chanshi 稠禪師, “Zen Master Chou” [2] Sui 隋 dynasty eminent Buddhist monk. Details about his life are unavailable. He was able to prepare drinks of five different colors. Among them, a greenish drink made from fu fang teng 扶芳藤, and a yellow drink made from jiang mang 茳芒 were presented to → Sui Yang di 隋煬帝. Chu Cheng 褚澄 (died 499) Southern Qi 齊 dynasty high official and medical expert. Style name Yandao 彥道, a man of Yang zhai 陽翟, now Yu xian 禹縣 in He nan 河南. Chu held various high court positions, and LSZ occasionally refers to him in connection with these posts. The → Nan shi 南史 and the → Nan Qi shu 南齊書 contain his biography, which records some of his deeds as a physician. He was the author of a Za yao fang 雜藥方, “Miscellaneous Medicinal Recipes.” The presently circulating → Chu shi yi shu 褚氏遺書 is said to have been recovered by Xiao Yuan 蕭淵 of Later Tang 唐 in 935 after grave robbers excavated it from a coffin with the name of Chu Cheng on it. It is therefore attributed to Chu, but research has shown that the book is probably a counterfeit text by an author proficient in the medical theories of the Southern Song. LSZ refers to him as Chu Cheng [8], Cheng 澄 [1], and as Chu shi 褚氏, “Mr. Chu,” [5]. Chu Cheng yi shu 褚澄遺書 → Chu shi yi shu 褚氏遺書 Chu ci 楚辭, “Elegies of Chu” Western Han 漢 anthology of southern poetry, compiled by → Liu Xiang 劉 向. Commentated version, the Chu ci zhang ju 楚辭章句, “Chapter and Verse Commentary to the Chu ci,” by → Wang Yi 王逸 of Eastern Han. Originally, the collection consisted of 16 sections and contained the poetry of the Warring States poets → Qu Yuan 屈原 and Song Yu 宋玉 from the state of Chu 楚, along with texts of various Han writers like → Dongfang Shuo 東方朔 or Liu Xiang himself. Wang Yi added his own Jiu si 九思, “Nine Thoughts,” to make a 17th section. Still, the works of Qu Yuan remain the focus of the anthology, and all the other authors follow his poetry style in some way or the other. The Chu ci derives its name from the strong regional nature it conveys, that is, its literary style and verses in local dialect, the local conditions and products it describes, etc. Since the collection also contains Qu Yuan’s most famous poem, the Li sao 離騷, “Woes of Departure,” it is sometimes called the Sao ti 騷體, “[Poems in] Li sao Style.” Zhu Xi 朱熹 (→ Zhu zi 朱子) wrote a commentary on the Li sao, the → Li sao bian zheng 離騷辨證, and the → ZLBC frequently quotes the anthology. LSZ cites the work as Chu ci 楚辭 [11] and incorrectly as Chu ci 楚詞, “Lyrics of Chu,” [2]. He also refers to individual sections of the work, that is, the Li sao [10], the → Jiu ge 九歌 [1], the → Da zhao 大招 [2], the Chu sao 楚騷, “Woes of Chu,” [1], and erroneously to the Li sao da zhao 離騷大招, “The Woes of Departure and the Great Summons,” [1], which is actually the Da zhao. Annotations are referred to as Li sao zhu 離騷注, “Annotations to the Li sao,” [1], Wang Yi zhu 王逸注, “Annotations of Wang Yi,” [2], or Wang Yi zhu Chu ci 王逸注楚辭, “Wang Yi’s Annotations to the Chu ci,” [1]. Among the Li sao quotations there is also material that is actually from another section of the Chu ci, the Zhao hun
80 招魂, “Summoning the Hun Soul,” and material from this section is also cited as → Xiao zhao 小招 [1]. Chu ci 楚詞 → Chu ci 楚辭 Chu guo xian xian zhuan 楚國先賢傳, “records of Former Worthy Persons from the State of Chu” [2] Lost Jin 晉 dynasty book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Possibly written by Zhang Fang 張方. The Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness,” also mentions another Chu guo xian xian zhuan of uncertain date by a Zou Hongfu 鄒閎甫. Fragments are found in the → Shuo fu 説郛, in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other books. LSZ cites the title in his bibliographical sections and in the main text. The material quoted there, however, is not found among the Chu guo xian xian zhuan fragments attributed to Zhang Fang in the Shuo fu. The Tai ping yu lan lists two books called Chu guo xian xian zhuan, one written by Zhang Fang and one by an anonymous author. LSZ apparently quoted second hand from the Tai ping yu lan, but it remains unclear which Chu guo xian xian zhuan his material came from. Chu Hui wang 楚惠王 (died 432 BCE) Spring and Autumn/Warring States period ruler of the state of Chu 楚, r. 488432 BCE. LSZ retells a story about him accidentally swallowing leeches with his pickled vegetables. LSZ refers to him as Chu Hui wang [1] and as Chu wang 楚 王, “King of Chu,” [3] in SE shui zhi 水蛭. Chu ji shi 楮記室, “The room of Mulberry records” [2] Ming 明 dynasty book. FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by → Pan Xun 潘塤. The Xu ming yi lei an 續名醫類案, “Sequel to the Categorized Case Studies of Famous Physicians,” quotes a passage from the Chu ji shi describing an event that took place in 1547, so the book must have been written after that. 15 juan. The book is divided into three sections, i.e., Heaven, Earth and Man. It collects material of earlier authors, including medical case studies of these authors or their families. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text, but all BCGM editions later than the Jin ling 金陵 edition erroneously render the name Chu ji shi 褚記室, “The Room of Silk Cloth Records,” [1] in SE fu ren yue shui 婦人月水. A recipe quoted from a → Pan shi fang 潘氏方 [1] may be from this text as well. Chu ji shi 褚記室 → Chu ji shi 楮記室 Chu qian cao shi 除䕭草詩, “Poem about Getting rid of the Qian-Weed” This is LSZ’s name for the Chu cao 除草, “On Getting Rid of Weeds,” a Tang 唐 dynasty poem written by → Du Fu 杜甫 (style name Zimei 子美). The text is preserved in the Du gong bu ji 杜工部集, “Collection of [Mr.] Du from the Ministry of Works,” (→ Du Zimei ji 杜子美集), and the original note of Du himself explains that the weed spoken about is qian cao 蕁草, a thorny plant that produces swelling when it touches the skin. LSZ writes the herb’s name qian cao 䕭草 and refers the poem to Du Zimei 杜子美 in SE qian ma 蕁麻.

FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Traditionally attributed to → Chu Cheng 褚 澄 of Southern Qi 齊, but textual research has shown that the work is actually a counterfeit text written by a Southern Song 宋 author proficient in medical theory. 1 juan. The book discusses physiology, the differentiation of disease causes, instructions for protecting one’s health, and the treatment of various diseases. The differentiation between healthcare for widows and nuns on the one hand and for wives and concubines on the other is a topic not discussed in medical literature before. LSZ cites material from the book, referring to it as Chu shi yi shu [1], as Chu Cheng yi shu 褚澄遺書, “Posthumous Works of Chu Cheng,” [1], or simply as Chu shi 褚氏, “Mr. Chu,” [4]. In addition LSZ refers several fragments to the assumed author Chu Cheng [7], taking some of this material from the Chu shi yi shu and some from Chu’s biography in the → Nan shi 南史. A fragment on perilla (su 蘇) that LSZ attributes to the → Nan Qi shu 南齊書 is actually from the Nan shi as well. Chu wang 楚王, “The King of Chu” Rulers of the state of Chu 楚 during the Spring and Autumn/Warring States periods. [3] In connection with swallowing leeches (shui zhi 水蛭), this is → Chu Hui wang 楚惠王.
[5] In connection with a story about the king crossing the Yang zi river to obtain ping 萍 fruit, the reference is to Chu Zhao wang 楚昭王 (died 489 BCE), r. 515-489 BCE. Chu Wenzi 楚文子 [1] Warring States period person. → Ge Hong 葛洪 in his → Baopu zi 抱朴子 states that Chu ingested rehmannia root for eight years, and LSZ takes this over in SE di huang 地黃. Chu xiansheng 褚先生, “Gentleman Chu” [1] This is Chu Shaosun 褚少孫, a Western Han 漢 historiographer. A man of Ying chuan 潁川, now Yu xian 禹縣 in He nan 河南. He was an Erudite (bo shi 博 士) during the reigns of the emperors Yuan di 元帝 (r. 49-33 BCE) and → Han Cheng di 漢成帝 (r. 33-7 BCE), AV during the reign of → Han Xuan di 漢宣 帝 (r. 74-49 BCE). He supplemented various chapters of the → Shi ji 史記, e.g., the Gui ce zhuan 龜策傳, “Biographies of Diviners.” Hence, later texts frequently refer to Chu xiansheng when citing material from the Gui ce zhuan. LSZ mentions him in SE shi 蓍.
82 Chu xue ji 初學記, “records of Initial Study” [3] Tang 唐 dynasty encyclopedia. Compiled on imperial order by → Xu Jian 徐 堅 and others. DC 713-741. 30 juan. The book selected material from the classics, from various schools of thought, earlier shi 詩 and fu 賦 poetry, and works by early Tang writers. It is organized similarly to the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類 聚 and preserves many fragments of otherwise lost texts, but its material is not quite as rich. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text, although when citing a story about → Bei Qi Cui shi 北齊崔氏, this material bears no connection either to the Chu xue ji or to any work of → Ouyang Xun 歐陽詢, to whom the Chu xue ji is attributed in this place. Instead, the material can be found in the → Sui shi guang ji 歲時廣記 (citing the Shi lüe 史略, “Brief History,” of → Yu Shinan 虞世南), the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other books. Chu yong 儲詠 → Chu Yong 儲泳 Chu yong 儲泳 (c. 1101-1165) Southern Song 宋 author of the → Qu yi shuo 祛疑説. Style name Wenqing 文 卿, literary name Huagu 華谷, “Flowery Valley,” a man of Hua ting 華亭, now Song jiang 松江 near Shang hai 上海. Chu Yong was skilled at fortune-telling and at intoning texts. It is said that he wrote the Qu yi shuo in order to differentiate the genuine from the bogus in these fields of expertise. LSZ erroneously writes his name Chu Yong 儲詠 [1]. Chu yushi 初虞世 [19] Northern Song 宋 physician, fl. 2nd half of the 11th century. Style name Hepu 和甫, further details about his life are unavailable. Chu was the author of the → Yang sheng bi yong fang 養生必用方 and lived as a monk in his old age. Apart from the Yang sheng bi yong fang, LSZ incorrectly assigned the → Gu jin lu yan fang 古今錄驗方 of → Zhen Liyan 甄立言 to Chu, so the quotations assigned to Chu Yushi’s name might be from either book. In addition, LSZ incorrectly cites a → Bi xiao fang 必效方 of Chu Yushi, but it is impossible that Chu was the author of the material LSZ is citing. LSZ was obviously mixing the title up with the abbreviation → Bi yong fang 必用方 for the Yang sheng bi yong fang. Chu zhou Wu yi 處州吳醫, “Physician Wu of Chu zhou” [1] Unidentifiable physician called Wu 吳 who cured a woman from the household of → Yang Sicheng 楊寺丞 from “bone steaming” (gu zheng 骨蒸). Chuan jia mi bao fang 傳家秘寶方, “Secret and Precious recipes, Transmitted within the Family” Lost Northern Song 宋 medical recipe book. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝 文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by → Sun Yonghe 孫用和. AN Chuan jia mi bao mai zheng kou jue bing fang 傳家秘寶脈 證口訣并方, “Secret and Precious Recipes and Rhymed Instructions on Vessel [Movements] and Disease Signs, Transmitted within the Family.” Printed 1085. 5 juan (AV 3 or 10 juan). Fragments survive in the → ZLBC, from which LSZ takes his citations. He refers to the book as Chuan jia mi bao fang [2], as Mi bao
83 fang 秘寶方, “Secret and Precious Recipes,” [17], as Sun shang yao fang 孫尚藥方, “Recipes of Sun from the Pharmaceutical Bureau,” [2], as Sun Yonghe fang 孫用 和方, “Recipes of Sun Yonghe,” [1], and erroneously as Jia chuan mi bao fang 家傳 秘寶方, “Secret and Precious Recipes, Transmitted within the Family.” LSZ frequently labels the abbreviation Mi bao fang with one of the author’s names, but occasionally mistakenly refers the work to → Sun Zhenzong 孫貞宗 (apparently an erroneous name for Sun Yonghe) or → Sun Zhao 孫兆, Sun Yonghe’s son. There is also a → Kou jue 口訣 by Sun Zhao cited by LSZ, which some consider an abbreviation for Chuan jia mi bao mai zheng kou jue bing fang. Chuan xin 傳信 → Chuan xin fang 傳信方 Chuan xin fang 傳信方, “recipes Transmitted with Verification” Medical recipe book. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Liu Yuxi 劉禹錫. DC 818. 2 juan. The author collected what he perceived of as simple and effective recipes and coupled these with the names of the individuals who had applied these recipes successfully, thus providing a verification (xin 信) for each transmitted (chuan 傳) recipe. The original book is lost, but fragments are preserved in the → ZLBC, the → TJBC, and other sources. LSZ cites the book second hand from the ZLBC as Chuan xin fang [36] and as Chuan xin 傳信, “Transmitted with Verification,” [1], mostly labeling his quotations with the author’s names Liu Yuxi [33] or Liu Mengde 劉夢得 [3]. One citation of a → Xu chuan xin fang 續傳信 方 by Liu Yuxi in SE mi la 蜜蠟 is actually an erroneous reference to the Chuan xin fang as well. Chuan xin fang 傳心方, “Transmitted Core recipes” Lost, anonymous recipe book. EE → Fu ren liang fang 婦人良方. DC probably Southern Song 宋 or before. Recipes are quoted in the Fu ren liang fang, from which LSZ takes his citation in the main text, incorrectly referring to the text as Xin chuan fang 心傳方, “Recipes Transmitted Personally,” [1]. Chuan xin shi yong fang 傳信適用方, “Suitable recipes, Transmitted with Verification” Southern Song 宋 medical recipe book. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness” AN Chuan dao shi yong fang 傳道適用方, “Suitable Recipes, Transmitting the Dao.” Written by Wu Yankui 吳彥夔. DC 1180. 2 juan. The text lists classic recipes with indications of their specific origins in each case, thus providing a verification (xin 信) for each transmitted (chuan 傳) recipe. The book survives but was extremely rare. The → Pu ji fang 普濟方 quotes from it a great deal. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text without providing the name of the author. He refers to the book as Chuan xin shi yong fang [8], as Chuan xin shi yong miao fang 傳信适用妙方, “Suitable, Miraculous Recipes, Transmitted with Verification,” [1], and as Shi yong fang 适用方, “Suitable Recipes,” apparently having taken all these citations from the Pu ji fang. Author Wu Yankui was a physician of the Southern Song dynasty. Literary name Zhuo’an 拙庵, “My Hut.” Further details about his life are unavailable.
84 Chuan xin shi yong miao fang 傳信适用妙方 → Chuan xin shi yong fang 傳信適 用方 Chuang ke xin yao 瘡科心要, “Core Essentials of the [Medical] discipline [Concerned with] Sores” [1] Yuan 元 dynasty book on external medicine. EE → Yu ji wei yi 玉機微義. Written by → Guo Wen 郭文. 2 juan. The book is a record of treatment strategies of external medicine and of the therapeutic results achieved by the author. → Liu Chun 劉純 apparently employed Guo’s methods, and → Li Xun 李迅 claimed to have achieved extraordinary results with them. The original book is lost, but fragments are found in the Yu ji wei yi. LSZ cites it in SE da ma 大麻. Chun qiu 春秋, “Spring and autumn annals” The term Chun qiu frequently occurs in the BCGM. Apart from representing a literary source, it might also designate a variety of other things. [1] Confucian classic. A chronicle of the state of Lu 魯, covering the period 722 to 481 BC, China’s earliest historical record. Attributed to Confucius (→ Kong zi 孔子) himself, but this is to be doubted. LSZ mentions the original Chun qiu in the → Yong yao fa xiang 用藥法象 entry in his bibliographical sections but otherwise uses commentaries based upon the text as a source. Spring and Autumn reign period (770-476 BC) Rhetorical term designating the four seasons
Spring and autumn as individual seasons Chun qiu kao yi you 春秋考異郵, “Investigating Extraordinary Errors in the Spring and autumn annals” [2] Lost Han 漢 dynasty apocryphal book (→ Wei shu 緯書), one of several such texts associated with the → Chun qiu 春秋 . Fragments are quoted in the → Er ya yi 爾雅翼, the → Shuo fu 説郛, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other works. LSZ cites the Chun qiu kao yi you in his bibliographical sections and the main text. The material he quotes can be found in the Tai ping yu lan and other books. Chun qiu qian tan ba 春秋潛潭巴, “diving into the deep Pools of Ba in the Spring and autumn annals” [1] Lost Han 漢 dynasty apocryphal book (→ Wei shu 緯書), one of several such texts associated with the → Chun qiu 春秋 . Fragments are quoted in the → Shuo fu 説郛, the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, and the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御 覽. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections but quotes a fragment in the main text. The material he quotes can be found in the Tai ping yu lan and other books. Chun qiu ti ci 春秋題辭, “Summary and Evaluation of the Spring and autumn annals” [2] Lost Han 漢 dynasty apocryphal book (→ Wei shu 緯書), one of several such texts associated with the → Chun qiu 春秋 . LSZ cites the book in his bibli-
85 ographical sections and the main text, using material from the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. Chun qiu yuan ming bao 春秋元命包, “The Embracement of the Original Mandate in the Spring and autumn annals” [2] Lost Han 漢 dynasty apocryphal book (→ Wei shu 緯書), one of several such texts associated with the → Chun qiu 春秋 . AN Chun qiu yuan ming bao 春秋 元命苞, “The Bud of the Original Mandate in the Spring and Autumn Annals.” Fragments are quoted in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and other books. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text, using material from the Tai ping yu lan. Chun qiu yun dou shu 春秋運斗樞, “The Big dipper’s Pivot of Movement in the Spring and autumn annals” Lost Han 漢 dynasty apocryphal book (→ Wei shu 緯書), one of several such texts associated with the → Chun qiu 春秋 . Fragments are quoted in the → Er ya yi 爾雅翼, the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御 覽, and other books. LSZ cites the book second hand as Chun qiu yun dou shu [7] and as Yun dou shu 運斗樞, “The Big Dipper’s Pivot of Movement,” in his bibliographical sections and the main text, taking his quotations from various ancient sources. Chun qiu Zuo zhuan zhu shu 春秋左傳注疏, “annotations and Commentary to the Spring and autumn annals and the Zuo zhuan” [1] Commentary on the → Zuo zhuan 左傳. AN Chun qiu Zuo shi jing zhuan ji jie 春秋左氏經傳集解, “Collected Explanations of the Spring and Autumn Annals in the Classical Tradition of Mr. Zuo.” The extant version names → Du Yu 杜預 of Western Jin 晉 as the annotator and the Tang 唐 scholars Lu Deming 陸德明 and → Kong Yingda 孔穎達 as commentators. LSZ lists the book as Chun qiu Zuo zhuan zhu shu [1] in his bibliographical sections only, attributing it to Du Yu alone. In the main text, he refers to the work using the author’s name only [1], and when citing a Zuo zhuan zhu 左傳注, “Annotations to the Zuo zhuan,” [2] with or without Du Yu’s name, this is most probably also a reference to this text. Chun zhu ji wen 春渚紀聞, “records of Things Heard on the Spring Islets” [3] Northern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Sui chu tang shu mu 遂初堂書目, “Catalogue of the Hall of Entering Seclusion,” Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness” Written by → He Yuan 何薳. DC 1st half of the 12th century. 10 juan, comprising 5 juan of miscellaneous records, 1 juan of facts on Su Dongpo 蘇東坡 (→ Su Shi 蘇軾), 1 juan of biographical sketches on the basis of shi 詩 and ci 詞 poetry, 1 juan on the qin 琴 and ink, 1 juan on inkstones, and 1 juan on alchemical medicinals (dan yao 丹藥). The text records extraordinary stories about Daoist immortals, folk legends, alchemical medicinals, poetry, and social and governmental affairs. LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text but erroneously writes the author’s name He Yuan 何遠.
86 Chunyu Kun 淳於髡 [1] Warring States period official from the state of Qi 齊, who apparently possessed encyclopedic knowledge as well as outstanding rhetoric abilities. His knowledge was said to be like a spring that never ran dry, or like fat in a carriage axle that was never used up. LSZ mentions him in SE che zhi 車脂. Chunyu yi 淳於意 (215-? BC) [4] Famous physician of the early Western Han 漢 dynasty. A man of Lin zi 臨菑 in the state of Qi 齊, now Lin zi in Shan dong 山東. At one stage of his life he held office as Head of the Imperial Granary (tai cang zhang 太倉長) in the princely state of Qi, thus people called him Tai cang gong 太倉公, “Lord of the Imperial Granaries,” or Cang gong 倉公, “Lord of the Granaries.” The → Shi ji 史記 holds his biography together with the one of → Bian Que 扁鵲 in the chapter Bian Que Cang gong lie zhuan 倉公列傳, “Biographies of Bian Que and the Lord of the Granary,” (→ Chunyu Yi zhuan 淳於意傳) and records 25 of his medical case histories. Later sources such as the → TJBC and the → ZLBC frequently quote his recipes. LSZ uses the biographical material from the Shi ji, referring to Chun as Chunyu Yi [5], as Tai cang gong [2], and as Cang gong [2]. He does, however, mistakenly assign material on the six incurable diseases (liu bu zhi 六不 治) to him, which is originally associated with Bian Que in the Shi ji. Apart from quoting biographical material, LSZ also lists a supposed collection of Chunyu Yi’s recipes in his bibliographical sections, this is the → Tai cang gong fang 太倉公方. Chunyu Yi zhuan 淳於意傳, “Biography of Chunyu yi” This is the Cang gong lie zhuan 倉公列傳, “Biography of the Lord of the Granary,” the biography of → Chunyu Yi 淳於意 in the → Shi ji 史記. It is combined there with the biography of → Bian Que 扁鵲 into the Bian Que Cang gong lie zhuan 倉公列傳, “Biographies of Bian Que and the Lord of the Granary.” LSZ quotes the text as Chunyu Yi zhuan [1] or as Cang gong zhuan 倉公傳, “Biography of the Lord of the Granary,” [1]. Chuo geng lu 輟耕錄, “records Taken While Stopping from Field Work” [11] Yuan 元 dynasty literary collection. FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” AN Nan cun chuo geng lu 南村輟 耕錄, “[Tao] Nancun’s Records Taken While Stopping from Field Work.” Written by Tao Zongyi 陶宗儀 (→ Tao Jiucheng 陶九成, literary name Nancun 南 村). DC 1367. 30 juan. The book records Yuan era anecdotes and details government style, culture and events, thus providing rich information on history, geography, literature, and art of the time. Ci shi nan zhi 此事難知, “These Things are Hard to Know” [2] Book on harm caused by cold (shang han 傷寒). FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” Written by → Wang Haogu 王好古. DC 1306. 2 juan. The book focuses on the discussion of harm caused by cold offered by → Li Gao 李杲. Some authors consider it a composion of Li Gao himself, therefore it is part of the collection Dongyuan shi shu 東垣十書, “The Ten Books of [Li] Dongyuan.” LSZ refers to the book in his bibliographical sections
87 only, once erroneously attributing it to Li Gao and once labeling it correctly with Wang Haogu’s literary name Haicang 海藏. Ci xi ri chao 慈溪日鈔, “daily Notes from Ci xi” Southern Song 宋 book. FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” AN Huang shi ri chao 黃氏日抄, “Daily Notes of Mr. Huang,” in the BCGM Huang Zhen ri chao 黃震日抄, “Daily Notes of Huang Zhen.” Written by → Huang Zhen 黃震. 95 juan. The book contains a variety of notes on books the author had read and some of his correspondence. LSZ lists the book as Ci xi ri chao [1] in his bibliographical sections and refers to it as Huang Zhen ri chao [1] in the main text. Ciyun shigong 慈雲式公, “Ceremonial Master of Immeasurable Kindness and Mercy” [1] Northern Song 宋 monk. Lived in the Buddhist Ling yin si 靈隱寺 monastery in Hang zhou 杭州. The Xi hu you lan zhi yu 西湖遊覽志餘, “Extra Records Taken Travelling at West Lake,” (→ Xi hu zhi 西湖志), quotes his Yue gui shi xu 月桂詩序, “Preface to the Poem on Moon Cassia,” recording an event in 1027, when at the monastery buildings of Ling yin si moon cassia seeds poured from heaven like rain. LSZ refers to this story briefly in SE yue gui 月桂. Congzheng 從正 → Zhang Congzheng 張從正 Cu yi ji 徂異記, “records of Bygone Extraordinary Things” [1] Lost Northern Song 宋 dynasty collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). EE → Shuo fu 説郛. AN Ju yi zhi 俱異志, “Records of All Extraordinary Things,” Zu yi zhi 祖異志, “Records of Ancestors and Extraordinary Things,” Ju yi zhi 狙異 志, “Records of Monkeys and Extraordinary Things.” Written by Nie Tian 聶田. 10 juan. The cu 徂 in the title has the meaning of “dead and gone,” “bygone,” and the entire book records peculiar things from the past. The alternative names are therefore not quite appropriate. The author Nie Tian was a man of Xin ling 信陵, now Ba dong 巴東 in Hu bei 湖北. After failing the jin shi examinations during the tian xi 天禧 reign period (1017-1021), he devoted his efforts to literature. His Cu yi ji covers much of the 11th century, from the tian xi era to the yuan you 元祐 reign period (1086-1094). There is a preface from 1040, but the book clearly holds material added after that date. 1 juan of the book is found in the Shuo fu. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections but cites it second hand in the main text, apparently taking his material from the Lei shuo, juan 24. The same story, about the envoy → Zha Dao 查道 encountering a mermaid on his way to Korea, is also found in the Shuo fu. The Shuo fu traces the material back to the Zhen yi ji 甄異記, “Records of Discerning Extraordinary Things,” (→ Zhen yi zhuan 甄異傳) of Eastern Jin 晉 times, but Cha Dao was actually a man of the Song dynasty, so this must be an error on part of the Shuo fu. Cui 崔 → Cui Geishi 崔給事
88 Cui Bao 崔豹 [31] Man of Western Jin 晉. Style name Zhengxiong 正熊, a man of Yu yang 漁陽 near present-day Bei jing 北京. He held a high honorific post and was the author of a → Gu jin zhu 古今注 , frequently cited by LSZ. Cui Chengyuan 崔承元 [2] Tang 唐 dynasty official. Details of his life are unavailable. He once released a convict that had been sentenced to death. When he later lost his eyesight because of a cataract, the former convict informed him of a secret recipe, and Cui was cured. The story is cited in the → Chuan xin fang 傳信方, and LSZ takes it over in SE yang 羊. Cui chi shi 崔給事, “Executive assistant Cui” Tang 唐 dynasty official. When he served under → Li Baozhen 李抱真 as a judge, he witnessed Li injuring his finger and stopping the pain by an external application of roasted onions. LSZ cites this in SE cong 蔥, referring to the judge as Cui Geishi [1] and as Cui 崔 [1]. Cui Congzhi 崔從質 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty person, fl. late 8th century. According to the → Chuan xin fang 傳信方, he witnessed a monk advising someone to drink goat milk to cure a wound resulting from a spider’s bite in 795. This was quoted in the → TJBC and taken over into the → ZLBC, where the protagonist is referred to by his official title as Cui Congzhi yuan wai 崔從質員外, “Supernumerary Cui Congzhi,” and a → Jing yan fang 經驗方 is given as the source text. LSZ apparently brought the two versions together, referring to Cui as Cui Congzhi yuan wai [1] and Cui yuan wai 崔員外 [1], but naming the Chuan xin fang as his source in SE zhi zhu 蜘蛛. Cui Fang 崔昉 [7] Probably a man of the Song 宋 dynasty, but details about his life are unavailable. Author of a lost Lu huo ben cao 爐火本草, “Furnace Fire Materia Medica,” which may or may not be identical with the → Wai dan ben cao 外丹本草 cited by LSZ. Cui Fang ben cao 崔昉本草 → Wai dan ben cao 外丹本草 Cui feng guo 崔奉國, “Cui the Supporter of the State”[1] Tang 唐 dynasty official. Personal name unknown. According to the Qin zhuang mei shi 琴莊美事, “Beautiful Stories from Qin zhuang,” his family grew a type of plums with thick meat and no pit. Legend had it that these had grown from blood that had fallen on the earth from a dragon’s ear. LSZ identifies this plum as an abnormal variety and rejects the dragon-ear-blood story as false in SE xu li 徐李. Cui Hao 崔浩 (381-450) [1] Northern Wei 魏 official. A man of Dong wu cheng 東武城 in Qing he 清河, now Wu cheng 武城 in Shan dong 山東. Style name Boyuan 伯淵, AV Boshen 伯深. He studied celestial patterns (tian wen 天文) and calendrical science and wrote a → Shi jing 食經 in 9 juan. The preface to this is preserved in his biography in the → Wei shu 魏書. The text itself is cited in the → Qi min yao shu 齊
89 民要術 as a work of Cui Hao. LSZ refers to the Shi jing of Cui Hao and quotes material second hand from the Qi min yao shu. Cui Kang 崔抗 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official. In 794, his daughter suffered from pain in the heart and almost died. She was cured by consuming a dish with rehmannia root. The anecdote was quoted from the → Chuan xin fang 傳信方 in the → ZLBC, and LSZ takes it over in SE di huang 地黃. Cui lang zhong 崔郎中, “Court Gentleman Cui” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official. Personal name unknown. He was apparently transmitted a recipe by → Fu Taichu 輔太初 to cure portpartum abdominal swelling. LSZ cites this in SE nie mi 糵米. Cui shang shu 崔尚書, “Minister Cui” [2] Tang 唐 dynasty high official, fl. 1st half of the 7th century. Personal name unknown. According to the → Qian jin yi fang 千金翼方, he ingested a preparation with stalactite powder and cow’s milk to strengthen his body. LSZ cites this in SE shi zhong ru 石鐘乳 and SE niu 牛. Cui shi 崔氏, “Mr. Cui” Name of various physicians. In most cases LSZ labels quotations Cui shi [10] or Cui shi fang 崔氏方, “Mr. Cui’s Recipes,” [17] but does not specify any related era or book title, so it remains unclear which person or text is being referred to. → Cui Yuanliang 崔元亮, author of the → Hai shang ji yan fang 海上集驗方
[6] In connection with the → Zuan yao fang 纂要方, LSZ is referring to → Cui Xinggong 崔行功. This is an erroneous attribution of the text, however, the real author was → Cui Zhiti 崔知悌. Cui Shi 崔寔 (died c. 170) [4] Eastern Han 漢 political expert. Style name Zizhen 子真 (AV Cui Tai 崔臺, style name Yuanshi 元始). A man of An ping 安平 in Zhuo jun 涿郡, now part of He bei 河北. He held the office of Imperial Secretary (shang shu 尚書), participated in the compilation of the → Dong guan Han ji 東觀漢記, and was the author of a Zheng lun 政論, “Discourse on Politics,” as well as other books. LSZ cites his → Si min yue ling 四民月令. Cui shi fang 崔氏方 → Cui shi 崔氏 Cui Shi yue ling 崔寔月令 → Si min yue ling 四民月令 Cui shi zuan yao 崔氏纂要 → Zuan yao fang 纂要方 Cui shi zuan yao fang 崔氏纂要方 → Zuan yao fang 纂要方 Cui Wei gong 崔魏公, “Cui, the duke of Wei” (died 869) [2] This is Cui Xuan 崔鉉, a Tang 唐 dynasty high official. Style name Taishuo 台 碩, a man of Bo zhou 博州, now Liao cheng 聊城 in Shan dong 山東, jin shi. Served as Left Vice Director of the Imperial Secretariat (shang shu zuo pu ye 尚 書左僕射) and was installed as Duke of the State of Wei 魏 (Wei guo gong 魏 國公), hence he was called Cui Wei gong. The → Bei meng suo yan 北夢瑣言 re-
90 lates a story of him witnessing → Liang Xin 梁新 curing a rich merchant from a critical disease. This is erroneously documented in the → ZLBC as a critical illness of Cui Wei gong himself (cf. → Cui Wei gong zhuan 崔魏公傳). LSZ takes this error over in SE zhu ji 竹雞, stating that Liang Xin cured Cui Wei gong after he had suddenly collapsed. Cui Wei gong zhuan 崔魏公傳, “Biography of Cui Wei gong” [1] Source probably invented by the → ZLBC, which in an entry about fresh ginger cites a story about the sudden death of the Tang 唐 dynasty official → Cui Wei gong 崔魏公. The original story, a medical case study of a rich merchant being treated with ginger for poisoning with ban xia 半夏, is from the → Bei meng suo yan 北夢瑣言 of → Sun Guangxian 孫光憲, and Cui Wei gong only plays the role of a witness in it. The ZLBC later claims that the story is from a Cui Wei gong zhuan. LSZ takes this error over in his own bibliographical sections, but when citing the story in his main text he labels it with the more general term → Tang xiao shuo 唐小説. Cui Wu 崔務 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty physician who, according to the → Chao ye qian zai 朝野僉載, regularly used copper powder in wine to treat bone fractures. LSZ cites this in SE tong 銅. Cui Xinggong 崔行功 (died 674) Tang 唐 official and medical expert. A man of Jing xing 井陘 in Heng zhou 恒 州, now part of He bei 河北. He held various court posts and was well-versed in medicine. Author of the Qian jin mi yao bei ji fang 千金祕要備急方, “Arcane Essentials and Recipes for Emergencies Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold.” The Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang,” incorrectly attributes the → Zuan yao fang 纂要方 to Cui Xinggong, and this error is taken over by LSZ, who cites Cui in connection with that book and a → Xiao er fang , which was probably part of the Zuan yao fang as well. LSZ refers to him as Cui Xinggong [12] and Cui shi 崔氏, “Mr. Cui,” [6]. Note that references to a → Cui shi 崔氏 without any further information may refer to other authors as well. Cui Xuan zhou yan 崔宣州衍 [1] This is Cui Yan 崔衍, a Tang 唐 dynasty high official. Style name Zhao 著, a man of An ping 安平 in Shen zhou 深州, now An ping in He bei 河北. He served a local official in many places but was in Xuan zhou 宣州 for ten years. In 805 he became Minister of Public Works (gong bu shang shu 工部尚書). A Northern Song 宋 → Jing yan fang 經驗方 cited in the ZLBC contains a recipe associated with him, and LSZ takes this over in SE gan cao 甘草. Cui yan 崔言 [1] Five Dynasties official, served in the cavalry. He was cured from “major wind” (da feng 大風) by ingesting a preparation from the thorns of the honeylocust tree. The → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記 quotes this anecdote from the Shen xian gan yu zhuan 神仙感遇傳, “Stories of Encounters with Divine Immortals,”
91 (→ Shen xian gan ying pian 神仙感應篇) of → Du Guangting 杜光庭. The → ZLBC cites the same material but names a Gan ying shen xian zhuan 感應神仙 傳, “Stories of Interacting with Divine Immortals,” as its source, and LSZ refers the fragment to the → Shen xian zhuan 神仙傳 in SE zao jia 皂莢. Cui yuan wai 崔員外 → Cui Congzhi 崔從質 Cui yuanliang 崔元亮 (767-833) Tang 唐 dynasty official. Also Cui Xuanliang 崔玄亮. Style name Huishu 晦叔, a man of Zhao yi 昭義 in Ci zhou 磁州, now Ci xian 磁縣 in He bei 河北, jin shi 785. Cui held various high offices at court and was well-versed in Huang lao 黃老 thought and medicine. Author of the → Hai shang ji yan fang 海上集驗 方. LSZ refers to him as Cui Yuanliang [42], erroneously, in SE mu jing 牡荊, as Ji Yuanliang 集元亮 [1], and possibly as Cui shi 崔氏, “Mr. Cui.” However, references to a → Cui shi 崔氏 without any further information may refer to other authors as well. Cui Yuanliang fang 崔元亮方 → Hai shang ji yan fang 海上集驗方 Cui Zhiti 崔知悌 (c. 615-685) Tang 唐 dynasty high official and medical expert. A man of Yan ling 鄢陵 in Xu zhou 許州, now part of He nan 河南, held various official posts between 650 and 683. Cui was an expert in the treatment of bone-steaming disease (gu zheng bing 骨蒸病) and invented the “poison-resolving decoction with goldthread root," (huang lian jie du tang 黃連解毒湯), which is still used today. He was the author of several books including the → Zuan yao fang 纂要方, the Gu zheng bing jiu fang 骨蒸病灸方, “Burning Methods for [the Treatment of ] Bone Steaming Disease,” (→ Lao zhai fang 勞瘵方 ), and the Chan tu 產圖, “Childbirth Charts.” LSZ refers to Cui as Cui Zhiti [6]. Due to the erroneous attribution of the Zuan yao fang to → Cui Xinggong 崔行功, LSZ’s references to a Cui shi 崔 氏, “Mr. Cui,” [6] are probably to that author. Note that references to a → Cui shi 崔氏 without any further information may refer to various people. Cui zhong cheng 崔中丞, “Vice Censor-in-chief Cui” (died 770) [1] This is Cui Guan 崔瓘, a Tang 唐 dynasty official. A man of Bo ling 博陵. He served as the prefect (ci shi 刺史) of Li zhou 澧州 and Tan zhou 潭州. Since he also held the post of Vice Censor-in-chief (yu shi zhong cheng 御史中丞), he was called Cui zhong cheng. The → Chuan xin fang 傳信方 lists a “recipe for black pills with refined salt” (lian yan hai wan fang 煉鹽黑丸方) that was probably transmitted by him, and LSZ takes this over in SE shi yan 食鹽.

Its compilation was begun during the hong wu 洪武 reign period (1369-1398) and underwent revisions during the hong zhi 弘治 (1425-1426), jia jing 嘉靖 (1522-1567), and wan li 萬歷 (1573-1620) reign periods, this last edition consisting of 228 juan. LSZ refers to the text as Da Ming hui dian [7] and Hui dian 會典, “Collected Statutes,” [2]. Da Ming yi tong zhi 大明一統志, “Comprehensive Gazetteer of the Great Ming” Comprehensive Ming dynasty geographical text and gazetteer. See bibliography of the BCGM. AN Ming yi tong zhi 明一統志, “Comprehensive Gazetter of the Ming.” Written by Li Xian 李賢 and others. DC 1461. 90 juan. The book follows the style of the Da Yuan yi tong zhi 大元一統志, “Comprehensive Gaz-
93 etteer of the Great Yuan,” but was based on the new Ming administrative system. It is arranged according to administrative units, i.e., the two Ming capitals of Nan jing 南京 and Bei jing 北京, the 13 capital districts, the prefectures and subprefectures, describing historical developments there. It also holds chapters on geographical features, local customs, historical sites, persons, and other topics, in which it includes descriptions of foreign countries. LSZ cites the book as Da Ming yi tong zhi [3] and as Yi tong zhi 一統志, “Comprehensive Gazetteer,” [23]. However, prior to the Da Ming yi tong zhi there was another imperial geography, the Huan yu tong zhi 寰宇通志, “Comprehensive Gazetteer of the Universe,” compiled by Chen Xun 陳循 and others (completed 1456), which fell out of circulation once the Da Ming yi tong zhi had been published. The Da Ming yi tong zhi was largely based on the Huan yu tong zhi but expanded it with additional material, particularly with information on the southwestern border regions. So the material cited by LSZ as from a Huan yu zhi 寰宇志, “Universal Gazetteer,” [4] in the main text of the BCGM can be found in the Huan yu tong zhi as well as the Da Ming yi tong zhi. da Qing 達卿 [1] Ming 明 dynasty person, fl. during the jia jing 嘉靖 reign period (1522-1567). A man of Ping jiang 平江, now Su zhou 蘇州 in Jiang su 江蘇. According to the → Chu ji shi 楮記室, his daughter fell pregnant at the age of 12. LSZ cites this in SE fu ren yue shui 婦人月水. Da quan fang 大全方 → Fu ren liang fang 婦人良方 Da quan liang fang 大全良方, “Greatly Complete Good recipes” [2] AN for the → Fu ren liang fang 婦人良方.

Da Tao Yinju lai zhu jian qi 答陶隱居賚术煎啓, “Letter in response to Tao yinju Bestowing Me with atractylodes decoction” [1] Title of a letter. Written by → Yu Jianwu 庾肩吾 of Southern Liang 梁. The letter includes a survey of the appearance and effects of atractylodes root and expresses the writer’s gratitude to → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 for preparing and sending him this medication. LSZ cites it in SE zhu 术. Da xiao fang 大效方, “Greatly Efficacious recipe” Not the name of a separate book but simply a medical recipe considered very effective, which the → ZLBC mistakenly considered the name of a book by → Zhang Lu 張潞. LSZ apparently took over this error in his bibliographical sections, listing a Da xiao fang [1] and incorrectly writing the name of the author Zhang Lu 張路. In the main text he refers to a Zhang Lu fang 張潞方, “Recipe of Zhang Lu,” [1]. Da ye lu 大業錄 → Da ye shi yi lu 大業拾遺錄 Da ye shi yi ji 大業拾遺記 → Da ye shi yi lu 大業拾遺錄

The book records events starting from the year 604 until the final collapse of the Sui 隋 dynasty. Fragments are found in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御 覽, the → Shuo fu 説郛, and other books. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections and quotes fragments of it from other sources in his main text. He refers to the book as Da ye shi yi lu [2], as Shi yi lu 拾遺錄, “Records of Retrieved Stories,” [7], as Da ye lu 大業錄, “Records of the Da ye Reign Period,” [1], as Da ye shi yi ji 大業拾遺記, “Records of Retrieved Stories of the Da ye Reign Period,” [1], and as Shi yi ji 拾遺記, “Records of Retrieved Stories,” [1]. This same abbreviation is used by LSZ in reference to the → Shi yi ji 拾遺記 by → Wang Zinian 王子年, so the two books might easily be confused. da yu 大禹, “yu the Great” Legendary ancient tribal leader who became famous for preventing floods by water control. Medical and pharmaceutical items associated with Da Yu include: yu yu liang 禹餘糧 (lit. “Yu’s left-over food”), yu ai 禹哀 (lit. “Yu’s grief ”), yu jiu 禹韭 (lit. “Yu’s garlic”), and the “powder as effective as Yu’s work” (Yu gong san 禹功散). The so-called “step of Yu” (Yu bu 禹步) is an often practiced Daoist technique. LSZ refers to Yu as Da Yu [2], Shen Yu 神禹, “Yu the Divine,” [6], or simply Yu 禹 [6]. Da zhao 大招, “Great Summons” Section of the → Chu ci 楚辭. Said by some to have been written by → Jing Cha 景差.

Following his father’s example, he studied with → Zhu Zhenheng 朱震亨 and began his career working as an imperial physician during the hong wu 洪武 reign period (1368-1398). During the jian wen 建文 reign period (13991403) he held the post of office commissioner (yuan shi 院使) at the Imperial Academy of Medicine (tai yi yuan 太醫院) and hence was known as Dai yuan shi 戴院使, “Office Commissioner Dai.” Dai was the author of the → Zheng zhi yao jue 證治要訣 and the Zheng zhi yao jue lei fang 證治要訣類方, “Categorized Recipes from the Essential Instructions for the Treatment on Disease Signs.” He also revised the → Jin kui gou xuan 金匱鉤玄 of Zhu Zhenheng.

The book is preserved in the Dao zang 道藏, “Daoist Canon,” (→ Dao zang jing 道藏經), and the → ZLBC quotes 60 fragments.

The work is divided into 48 chapters on different pathological conditions. Each chapter begins with a brief description of disease symptoms, followed by categorized recipes, adding up to more than a thousand recipes in all. These recipes were not transmitted widely, but they are quoted extensively in the → Pu ji fang 普濟方. LSZ may have seen the original book himself or he may have quoted his material second hand from the Pu ji fang. He cites the book as Dan liao fang [24], as Dan liao 澹寮, “Tranquil Hut,” [3], or in one case labels material from the book Seng Jihong 僧繼洪, “Monk Jihong,” only.

Yang’s disciple Liang Zuo 梁佐 removed the repetitions to produce a 27 juan version, which is the Dan qian zong lu LSZ used. The book is abundant in textual discussions of the classics and their commentaries and its differentiation of historical facts. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text. He probably used more material from it
97 than he indicates, in many cases just referring to the original works and not the Dan qian lu itself. dan ran 單驤 (2nd half of the 11th century) [1] Northern Song 宋 medical official. Originally from Shu 蜀, now Si chuan 四川. After failing the jin shi examinations, he studied medicine with Peng Shanyin 彭山隱 and became a famous physician. His views differed from others in that he continued to emphasize that → Wang Shuhe 王叔和 was wrong when he described the Triple Burner (san jiao 三焦) as an organ without physical form. During the jia you 嘉祐 reign period (1056-1063), he held local posts in Bin zhou 邠州 and Cheng du 成都 but was called to court as a medical official and participated in the editing of medical literature. During the xi ning 熙寧 reign period (1068-1077) he moved on to other court positions. LSZ cites a recipe transmitted by him as → Dan Ran fang 單驤方 in SE ling li 鯪鯉. Dan Ran fang 單驤方, “recipes of dan ran” [1] Pharmaceutical recipes used by → Dan Ran 單驤, a medical official during the Northern Song 宋.

LSZ lists the book separately and within the → Geng xin yu ce 庚辛 玉冊 entry in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it directly in the main text.

LSZ lists the title in his bibliographical sections without providing the name of an author. The book is not mentioned in any of the standard bibliographies, but the Ming 明 author → Yu Tuan 虞摶 in his → Yi xue zheng chuan 醫學正傳 labels material on vessel movements and recipes Danxi huo tao. The context there, however, suggests that this is a catch-all term for the way → Zhu Zhenheng 朱震亨 (literary name Danxi 丹溪) diagnosed and treated patients and not the name of a book. Considering that LSZ does not quote any material from a Danxi huo tao in the main text of the BCGM, it seems likely that he erroneously assumed that Danxi huo tao was the title of a book.

Fang Guang then added material by other autors he believed to be reliable transmitters of Danxi doctrines and useful for the clarification of difficult points. The book survives. LSZ quotes it as Danxi xin fa fu yu [2], as Xin fa fu yu 心法 附餘, “Extra Additions to the Essential Methods,” [4], and as Fu yu 附餘, “Extra Additions,” by Fang Guang [3]. Material labeled Fang Guang yun 方廣云, “Fang Guang says” [1] refers to Fang Guang’s annotations in the text.

Most of the material is from the → Danxi xin fa 丹溪心法, but some recipes appear exclusively in the Danxi zhai xuan. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections but cites recipes as Danxi zhai xuan [2] or Danxi zhai xuan fang 丹溪摘玄方, “Selected Profound Recipes of [Zhu] Danxi,” [1] in the main text. LSZ also cites material from a Ye shi zhai xuan fang 葉氏摘 玄方, “Selected Profound Recipes of Mr. Ye,” or simply a → Zhai xuan fang 摘 玄方. A large part of the Ye shi zhai xuan fang quotations and a few of the Zhai xuan fang recipes are also taken from the Danxi zhai xuan, but the relationship of most of the Zhai xuan fang material to the Danxi zhai xuan remains unclear.

He is said to have used honeysuckle to cure “obstruction- and impediment-illness” (yong ju 癰疽) and “back effusion” (fa bei 發背). LSZ cites this in SE ren dong 忍冬.

100 Granary.” DC 14th century. The text is contained in the → Ge zhi yu lun 格致餘 論, the → Danxi xin fa 丹溪心法, and the → Danxi zuan yao 丹溪纂要. The title refers to a treatment of accumulation and stagnation in the spleen and stomach (referred to by Zhu as cang 倉, “granary”), which is eliminated by using a very rich beef broth as an emetic. LSZ refers to it as Dao cang lun [1] and as Dao cang fa lun [1] in his main text. Dao jing 道經, “daoist Classics” [2] Either a reference to the → Dao zang jing 道藏經 or a general reference to Daoist texts. Dao lan shuo 盗蘭説 → Chen Zhizhai ji 陳止齋集 Dao shu 道書, “daoist Book” [10] General term for Daoist books. In SE huang lian 黃連, LSZ quotes → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 from the → Ming yi bie lu 名醫別錄, referring to a Dao fang 道方, “Daoist Recipe,” and a Dao shu of Tao’s. Since Dao fang is most certainly a general term for Daoist recipes and Tao Hongjing never wrote a book called Dao shu, it is to be assumed that Dao shu, like Dao fang, is a catch-all term as well. Dao zang 道藏 → Dao zang jing 道藏經 Dao zang jing 道藏經, “daoist Canon” General term for Daoist books, also a compilation of Daoist scriptures, the “Daoist Tripitaka.” AN Dao zang 道藏, “Daoist Canon.” After Ming 明 times, a Zheng tong dao zang 正統道藏, “Daoist Canon of the Zheng tong Reign Period,” and Wan li xu dao zang 萬歷續道藏, “Continued Daoist Canon of the Wan li Reign Period,” were in circulation. LSZ, however, seems to use the terms Dao zang jing [4], Dao zang [2], and → Dao jing 道經 [2] as a general designation for Daoist books in his main text. daoguang 道廣 [1] Early Northern Song 宋 monk who once cured → Shen Daogong 慎道恭 of his “rice conglomeration-illness” (mi jia 米瘕). dazhi chanshi 大智禪師, “Zen Master of Outstanding Wisdom” [1] Southern Song 宋 Buddhist monk, resided in Quan zhou 全州 in present-day Guang xi 廣西. His recipes were recorded by numerous Southern Song medical books. The → Ben shi fang 本事方 lists his “pills to cool the heart” (qing xin wan 清心丸), and LSZ takes this over, referring to the monk as Dazhi chanshi [1]. In addition, his use of the larynx of white water buffalo for treating upset stomach was recorded in the → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方 and taken over by the → Pu ji fang 普濟方 without indication of the source.

Some 228 fragments are quoted in the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, from which LSZ gets his material. The Japanese Ishimpō 醫心方, “Medical Core Recipes,” also includes lost material from the book but was not available to LSZ at the time. Li cites the book as De sheng tang jing yan fang [6] and as De sheng tang fang 德生堂方, “Recipes from the Hall of Virtuous Life,” [7] without indicating the name of the author anywhere. De xiao fang 得效方, “recipe(s) to Obtain [Good] results” [5] → Wei shi de xiao fang 危氏得效方
[1] Medical recipe attributed to Tao Yinju 陶隱居 (→ Tao Hongjing 陶弘 景). No book titled De xiao fang by Tao Hongjing is found in any of the standard bibliographies. LSZ took the quotation from the → TJBC, where it is referred to as Zhou hou fang 肘後方, “Recipes to Be Kept Close at Hand,” which is the → Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘後備急方 of → Ge Hong 葛洪 and not the → Zhou hou bai yi fang 肘後百一方 of Tao Hongjing. Thus, the term de xiao fang seems to be a descriptive phrase for a highly effective recipe, which LSZ, confusing the Zhou hou bei ji fang and the Zhou hou bai yi fang, refers to Tao Yinju. deng Bifeng 鄧筆峰 → Deng Cai 鄧才 Deng Bifeng fang 鄧筆峰方 → Wei sheng za xing 衛生雜興 deng Cai 鄧才 Ming 明 dynasty physician.

Although the material quoted from a Ding lan shuo in the main text of the BCGM vaguely resembles material in Fang Hui’s Tong jiang xu ji 桐江續集, “Subsequent Tong jiang Collection,” the wording is rather different. → Song Lian 宋濂, in his Wen xian ji 文憲集, “Collection of [Song] Wenxian” (→ Qian Xiji 潛溪集), cites Fang Hui’s explanations, and his material appears rather similar to LSZ’s. ding Luan 丁鑾 Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty person.

The Dong guan Han ji is therefore an official history of the Eastern Han dynasty written in annal-biography style (ji zhuan ti 紀傳體). Its compilation was begun under Emperor Ming 明 (r. 58-76) and continued under subsequent reigns, down to the periods of Emperors Huan 桓 and Ling 靈 (147-189).

The original work was lost, but extensive fragments are found in the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and many other books. In his main text, LSZ quotes the Dong guan Han ji [1], and a Dong guan ji 東觀記, “Records of the Eastern Library,” [1], taking his material from the Tai ping yu lan. In his bibliographical sections (and the main text), by contrast, he refers to a Dong guan mi ji 東觀秘記,“Secret Records of the Eastern Library,” [2] and omits any reference to a Dong guan Han ji. The Dong guan mi ji quotation in the main text is also taken from the Tai ping yu
106 lan, which labels the material Han dong yuan mi ji 漢東園秘記, “Secret Records from the Eastern Gardens of the Han.” The Tai ping yu lan lists three books of similar titles in its bibliographical sections, i.e., the Dong guan Han ji (cited 393 times in the main text), a Han dong yuan mi ji (cited once), and a Dong yuan mi ji 東園秘記, “Secret Records of the Eastern Gardens,” (cited once). Considering their contents and time of compilation, it is quite possible that all three titles refer to one and the same book. LSZ probably altered the Dong yuan mi ji of the Tai ping yu lan to read Dong guan mi ji.

In addition to writing the Dong wei zhi, Qian also wrote the Nan bu xin shu 南部 新書, “New Book of the Ministry of Southern Relations,” and other books. The Dong wei zhi records strange and miraculous things from late Tang 唐 to Northern Song. Fragments are found in the → Shuo fu 説郛 and a few in the → ZLBC. LSZ lists the book in his bibliography without giving the name of the author.

FE Han shu yi wen zhi 漢書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Han.” Attributed to philosopher Dong Wuxin 董無心 of the Warring States period. 1 juan. The book was a refutation of Mohist doctrine. Various fragments are found in the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other books. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections and cites it in the main text when discussing the naming of three pharmaceutical substances. Other books, however, trace back the same material on shao yao 芍藥 and xuan cao 萱草 to the → Gu jin zhu 古今注 and the material on sheep (yang 羊) to the → Shuo wen jie zi 説文解字 without ever referring to any Dong zi. Moreover, in ancient works the name Dong zi mostly refers to → Dong Zhongshu 董仲舒. It is therefore difficult to determine which source exactly LSZ took his Dong zi material from. dongbi 東璧 → Li Shizhen 李時珍 Dongfang Qiu fu 東方虯賦, “rhapsody by dongfang Qiu” [1] Designation for the Qiu jin fu 蚯蚓賦, “Earthworm Rhapsody,” a Tang 唐 dynasty fu 賦 written by the poet Dongfang Qiu 東方虯. Dongfang was a historian during the era of Wu Zetian 武則天 (→ Wu hou 武候) and noted for his shi 詩 and fu poetry. His Qiu jing fu is preserved in the → Wen yuan ying hua 文苑英華, which is apparently the source of LSZ’s material. dongfang Shuo 東方朔 (154-93 BC) [13] Scholar of the Western Han 漢 dynasty. Style name Manqian 曼倩, a man of Yan ci 厭次 in Ping yuan 平原, situated in the northeast of present-day Hui min 惠民 county in Shan dong 山東. He held a high post under Emperor Wu 武 and is said to have had a humorous side to his personality. Some 20 works are attributed to him by the Han shu yi wen zhi 漢書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Han,” and other sources, but all are now lost. Extant works attributed to Dongfang Shuo are believed to be forgeries. These include the → Shen yi jing 神異經, the Hai nei shi zhou ji 海內十洲記, “Records of Ten Islands Within the Sea,” ( → Shi zhou ji 十洲記), and the → Lin yi ji 林邑記. LSZ, in addition to citing these as works of Dongfang Shuo, also quotes the → Dongfang Shuo zhuan 東方朔傳 and the → Dongfang Shuo bie zhuan 東方朔別 傳 from other books. Dongfang Shuo bie zhuan 東方朔別傳, “Supplementary Biography of dongfang Shuo” [1] Essay quoted in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and other books. The time of composition or authorship is uncertain, but the association with Dongfang Shuo
109 is most probably false. LSZ cites the work in connection with the use of crocodile bone marrow (jiao long sui 蛟龍髓) as a facial treatment and to ease births. Dongfang Shuo zhuan 東方朔傳, “Biography of dongfang Shuo” [2] Biography of → Dongfang Shuo 東方朔. The first passage quoted by LSZ is found in the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記 in a biography of Dongfang Shuo. The second quote is taken from the Xi Han wen ji 西漢文紀, “Literary Annals of Western Han,” which cites a text called Jian qi shang lin yuan 諫起上林苑, “Admonishing the Climb to the Upper Forest Park,” and attributes it to Dongfang Shuo. Both quotations can be found in the biography of Dongfang Shuo in the → Han shu 漢書, but since the wording is rather different there, it seems that the Han shu is not where LSZ got his quotations from. Donghua zhenren zhu shi fa 東華真人煮石法 → Donghua zhenren zhu shi jing 東 華真人煮石經 Donghua zhenren zhu shi jing 東華真人煮石經, “Method for Stone Cooking by the Perfected One donghua” Fictitious Daoist book. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. The ZLBC lists the book in its bibliographical sections and cites one fragment in its main text, which LSZ takes over in his own main text. In his bibliographical sections, however, LSZ renders the title Donghua zhenren zhu shi fa 東華真人煮石法, “Method for Stone Cooking by the Perfected One Donghua,” [1]. After quoting the Donghua zhenren zhu shi jing [1] in SE wu jia pi 五加皮, he also cites a story about the mother of → Lu Ding gong 魯定公 (→ Lu Ding gong mu 魯定公母). Both fragments are actually from the Tang 唐 dynasty Shen xian fu er dan shi xing yao fa 神仙服餌丹石行藥法, “Divine Immortals’ Methods of Ingesting Elixirs and Minerals and Applying Pharmaceutics,” preserved in the Dong xuan 洞玄, “Cavern of Mystery,” section of the Dao zang 道藏, “Daoist Canon,” (→ Dao zang jing 道藏經). The ZLBC distinguishes both stories from each other by labeling them Donghua zhenren zhu shi jing and Lu Ding gong, but neither the Donghua zhenren zhu shi jing nor the Lu Ding gong ji 魯定公記, “Record of Duke Ding of Lu,” (listed in the ZLBC’s bibliography as a source) are actually proper book titles. The ZLBC fragment that LSZ takes over also refers to various immortals associated with alchemical and dietetic recipes, such as → Wang Chang 王常, → Meng Chuozi 孟綽子, → Dong Shigu 董士固, → Zhang Zisheng 張子聲, → Yang Jianshi 楊建始, → Wang Shucai 王叔才, and → Yu Shiyan 於世彥. dongpo 東坡 → Su Shi 蘇軾 Dongpo jia cang fang 東坡家藏方 → Su Shen liang fang 蘇沈良方 Dongpo liang fang 東坡良方 → Su Shen liang fang 蘇沈良方 Dongpo shi ji 東坡詩集, “Collection of the Poetry of [Su] dongpo” Collection of poetry by → Su Shi 蘇軾. LSZ lists the book as Dongpo shi ji [1] in his bibliographical sections, but in his main text refers either to the Su Dongpo shi ji 蘇東坡詩集, “Poetry Collection of Su Dongpo,” [1], or to the Su Dongpo ji 蘇東坡集, “Su Dongpo’s Collection,” [2]. Material on qiong tian cao 瓊田草 is found in the Dongpo quan ji 東坡全集, “Complete Collection of [Su] Dongpo,”
110 in an introduction to a poem by Tang 唐 poet Li Taibai 李太白 (→ Li Bai 李 白), so this must be the work LSZ is referring to. dongyuan 東垣 → Li Gao 李杲 Dongyuan fang 東垣方 → Li Gao 李杲 Dongyuan shi xiao fang 東垣試效方, “Tested Efficacious recipes of [Li] dongyuan” Clinical text.

Indeed, the work includes many parallel rhymes on the application of pharmaceutical substances. During the Ming 明 dynasty the Dongyuan zhen zhu nang was combined with a Yao xing fu 藥性賦, “Rhapsody on the Nature of Medicinals,” and other texts to create the Zhen zhu nang bu yi yao xing fu 珍珠囊補遺藥性賦, “The Pearl Bag, Supplemented with Rhapsody on the Nature of Medicinals.” This was wrongly attributed to Li Gao as well.

It is uncertain whether or not the → Dou zhen bian lan fang 痘疹便覽方 of → Zhang Degong 張德恭 (possibly identical with Zhang Qingchuan) cited elsewhere is the same book. Dou zhen bian lan fang 痘疹便覽方, “recipes from the Convenient Guide to Smallpox Papules” [2] Ming 明 dynasty pediatric text. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Zhang Degong 張德恭. Although referring to the book in his main text, LSZ fails to list it in his bibliographical sections.

Dou zhen fang 痘疹方, “recipes for [the Treatment of ] Smallpox Papules” [2] Source text of medical recipes. LSZ does not list the title in his bibliographical sections, but the material in the main text of the BCGM resembles passages quoted in the → Xiao er dou zhen fang 小兒痘疹方 and the → Pu ji fang 普濟 方. To which source LSZ is referring to remains uncertain. Dou zhen guan jian 痘疹管見, “My Humble Opinion on Smallpox Papules” Ming 明 dynasty pediatric text on “smallpox papules” (dou zhen 痘疹). FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” AN Dou zhen zheng zong 痘疹正宗, “Orthodox School of Smallpox Papule [Medicine].” Written by → Gao Wu 高武. DC 1559. 4 juan. Gao draws upon the classical writers to elucidate his subject. LSZ cites it as Dou zhen guan jian [3], as Dou zhen zheng zong [2], or referring to the author’s name, Gao Wu [1], only. In his bibliographi-
112 cal sections, when listing the name Dou zhen guan jian, LSZ notes that the book is also called Zheng zong 正宗, “Orthodox School,” [1]. Dou zhen jing yan fang 痘疹經驗方, “Tried and Proven recipes for [the Treatment of ] Smallpox Papules” [1] Medical recipe book not listed in any bibliographical source. Author and contents unknown.

Dou zhen zheng zong 痘疹正宗 → Dou zhen guan jian 痘疹管見 du Bao 杜寶 [10] Tang 唐 dynasty official, fl. early 7th century. He originally served the Sui 隋 as a scholar and subsequently received a court appointment under the Tang. He participated in the compilation of the → Sui shu 隋書 and wrote the → Da ye shi yi lu 大業拾遺錄 to make up for omissions in the Sui shu concerning Emperor Yang 煬 of Sui. du chang wang 都昌王, “Prince of du chang” [1] This is Zhu Zaiyong 朱載塎, a Ming 明 dynasty prince and member of the imperial clan who resided in Qi zhou 蘄州. During the jia jing 嘉靖 reign period (1522-1567), he was enfeoffed as prince of the vassal state of Du chang 都昌. According to LSZ, he loved to ingest drugs of a hot nature such as processed aconite (fu zi 附子) and sulphur (liu huang 硫磺) because his body was emaciated and cold. Du duan 獨斷, “deciding alone” [1] Eastern Han 漢 book. FE bibliographical treatise of the Yu hai 玉海, “Jade Ocean.” Written by → Cai Yong 蔡邕. 2 juan. The text is a record of the rules for
113 ritual and music, the geneaology of Han emperors, and other topics, extending from the time of Emperor Gao zu 高祖 to the reign of Emperor Ling 靈 and covering the years 206 BCE to 172 CE. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections but not in the main text. du Fu 杜甫 (712-770) Tang 唐 dynasty poet. Style name Zimei 子美. His ancestors were originally from Xiang yang 襄陽 in Hu bei 湖北, but Du’s great-grandfather moved to Gong xian 鞏縣, now Gong yi 鞏義 in He nan 河南. During the reign of → Tang Su zong 唐肅宗 (r. 756-762), Du Fu held the post of Reminder of the Left (zuo shi yi 左拾遺), after which he was called Du shi yi 杜拾遺, “Du the Reminder.” Later he served at the Ministry of Works (gong bu 工部) and thus became known as Du gong bu 杜工部, “Du from the Ministry of Works.” Du wrote a great deal of poetry, and from Song times on he was respectfully styled the Poet Sage (shi sheng 詩聖). There is a Du gong bu ji 杜工部集, “Collection of [Mr.] Du from the Ministry of Works,” (→ Du Zimei ji 杜子美集). Citing poems from the collection, LSZ refers to Du as Du Fu [10] and as Du Zimei 杜子美 [1]. Du Fu shi 杜甫詩 → Du Zimei ji 杜子美集 du Gao 杜鎬 (938-1013) [1] Northern Song 宋 official and scholar. Style name Wenzhou 文周, a man of Wu xi 無錫 in Chang zhou 常州 in present-day Jiang su 江蘇. Du has a biography in the → Song shi 宋史. LSZ refers to Du Gao in a passage originally from the Tan yuan 談淵, “Depths of Conversation,” of Wang Tao 王陶, citing second hand from the → Shuo fu 説郛. du Guangting 杜光庭 (850-933) [1] Daoist priest and official of the late Tang 唐 and Five Dynasties period. Style name Shengbin 聖賓 (AV Binsheng 賓聖), literary name Guangcheng xiansheng 廣成先生, “Gentleman of Extensive Achievement.” A man of Jin yun 縉 云 in Chu zhou 處州, now part of Zhe jiang 浙江 (AV from Chang an 長安, now Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西). After failing the imperial examinations, Du Guangting retired to Mount Tian tai 天台 to practice Daoism. He later held a religious court post under the Tang 唐 and accompanied Emperor Xi zong 僖 宗 to Si chuan 四川 during the time of the → Huang Chao 黃巢 rebellion. After this he was rewarded with other posts and the literary name Guangcheng xiansheng 廣成先生, “Gentleman of Extensive Achievement.” In his old age he became a recluse again. Du wrote poetry and published many spiritual stories to propagate Daoism. Of his writings the → Lu yi ji 錄異記 survives, and he is also attributed the Shen xian gan yu zhuan 神仙感遇傳, “Stories of Encounters with Divine Immortals,” (→ Shen xian gan ying pian 神仙感應篇). LSZ cites these texts without mentioning the author. He only connects Du to the → Yu han fang 玉函方, an anonymous and now lost recipe book of Jin 晉 times or before, which he apparently confuses with a book called Yu han jing 玉函經, “Classic of the Jade Case,” that was attributed to Du during Song 宋 times. Thus, LSZ’s only reference to Du Guangting is an erroneous one.
114 du Jiyang 杜季陽 [1] This is the style name of Du Wan 杜綰, a man of Northern Song 宋. Sometimes written Du Jiyang 杜季揚. Literary name Yunlin jushi 雲林居士, “Retired Scholar of Cloud Forest,” a man of Shan yin 山陰, now Shao xing 紹興 in Zhe jiang 浙江. Author of the → Yunlin shi pu 雲林石譜. du Kang 杜康 → Shao Kang 少康 Du Lanxiang zhuan 杜蘭香傳, “Biography of du Lanxiang” [1] Jin 晉 dynasty text. Written by → Cao Pi 曹毗. The text narrates the story of the cordial relationship between the spirit girl Du Lanxiang 杜蘭香 and Zhang Shuo 張碩 said to have taken place in 316. The → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and other works contain some fragments, and a summary of the text is found in the → Shuo fu 説郛. LSZ cites the text in SE shu yu 薯蕷. Du lun 篤論, “Honest discourses” [2] Lost book from the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Du Shu 杜恕. 4 juan. Fragments are found in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → Pi ya 埤雅, and other books. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text, probably taking his material from the Pi ya. du ren 杜壬 (11th century) Northern Song 宋 physician. No details about his life available. Author of a → Du Ren fang 杜壬方. The Bi shu lu hua 避暑錄話, “Recorded Talks from the Summer Resort,” (→ Bi shu lu 避暑錄) recounts a case record of Du’s involving the daughter-in-law of Hao Zhi 郝質, a Northern Song military officer (died 1078), and the first text to cite the Du Ren fang is the → ZLBC (DC 1098-1108), so Du Ren must have been a man of the 1st half to mid-11th century. A recipe associated with the → Hu yang gong zhu 湖陽公主 is an uncertain indicator of Du’s life dates, since that person cannot be identified reliably. Usually, Hu yang gong zhu is a reference to the elder sister of the Eastern Han 漢 emperor Guang Wu di 光武帝, but at that time the herb zhi qiao 枳殼 was not recorded. In the Jin ling 金陵 edition of the BCGM, LSZ refers to Du as Du Ren 杜壬 [9] but also erroneously as Du Ren 杜任 [1] in SE bi ma 蓖麻 and Du Ren 杜仁 [1] in SE qi 漆, mistakes that were corrected in later editions. du ren 杜任 → Du Ren 杜壬 du ren 杜仁 → Du Ren 杜壬 Du Ren fang 杜壬方, “recipes of du ren” [11] Lost Northern Song 宋 medical recipe book. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. Written by → Du Ren 杜壬. DC 11th century. The ZLBC preserves 10 recipes from this book, and LSZ takes these over in his main text but fails to list the book in his bibliography. In the Jin ling 金陵 edition of the BCGM, the title is erroneously written Du Ren fang 杜任方 [1] in SE bi ma 蓖麻 and Du Ren fang 杜仁方 [1] in SE qi 漆, a mistake that was corrected in later editions.
115 Du Ren fang 杜任方 → Du Ren fang 杜壬方 Du Ren fang 杜仁方 → Du Ren fang 杜壬方 du Shanfang 杜善方 [1] Physician, fl. some time before the Song 宋 dynasty. A man of Jing zhao 京兆, now Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西. Author of the → Ben cao xing shi lei 本草性事 類, which was written during the late Tang 唐 or Five Dynasties period. du Shu 杜恕 (198-252) [2] Official from the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period. Style name Wubai 務伯, a man of Du ling 杜陵 in Jing zhao 京兆, now in the southeast of Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西. He held official posts and was the author of the lost → Du lun 篤論, a Ti lun 體論, “Discourses on the Body,” and other books. du Sijing 杜思敬 (c. 1234-1316) [1] Yuan 元 dynasty medical expert. Literary name Baoshan laoren 寶善老人, “Precious and Good Old Man,” a man of Tong di 銅鞮, now Qin xian 沁縣 in Shan xi 山西. Author of the earliest collection of medical works, the → Ji sheng ba cui fang 濟生拔萃方 published in 1315. du Taiqing 杜臺卿 [1] Scholar of the Northern Qi 齊 and Sui 隋 Dynasties. Style name Shaoshan 少 山, a man of Qu yang 曲陽 in Bo ling 博陵, now part of He bei 河北. Du held high posts at the imperial library of the Qi and the historiographers’ office of the Sui. He was the author of a Qi ji 齊記, “Records of Qi,” the → Yu zhu bao dian 玉燭寶典, and other books. Du xing fang 獨行方, “Single Substance recipes” [19] Lost Tang 唐 dynasty medical recipe book. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書 藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” AN Ji yan du xing fang 集驗獨行方, “Collected and Proven Single Substance Recipes.” Written by → Wei Zhou 韋宙. DC c. 9th century. 12 juan. The work was a collection of recipes considered proven by the author. Each recipe contained only a single pharmaceutical substance, thus the title. Fragments are found in the → TJBC, from which LSZ took his material. Du yang bian 杜陽編, “Compilation from du yang” [5] This is LSZ’s abbreviation for the Du yang za bian 杜陽雜編, “Miscellaneous Compilation from Du yang,” a Tang 唐 dynasty collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Su E 蘇鶚. 3 juan. The book is named after the place where the author lived, Du yang 杜陽 in Wu gong 武功, now Xian yang 咸陽 in Shaan xi 陝西. The book primarily records strange stories from Tang times, from the beginning of the reign of → Tang Dai zong 唐代宗 to the end of the era of Yi zong 懿宗 (762-873). It records events of the time, stories from the frontier regions and from foreign countries about extraordinary things and rare skills, including many rumors and idle tales. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text.
116 Du yi zhi 獨異志, “records of uncommon Things” [2] Lost Tang 唐 dynasty book. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by Li Kang 李亢 (AV → Li Yuan 李元 , Li Rong 李冗). 10 juan. The book records stories and scraps of information from Tang times. The current version is incomplete and consists of 3 juan only. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text but calls the author Li Yuan. The quotation in the main text can be found in the → Yi shuo 醫説, the → Jin xiu wan hua gu 錦繡萬花谷, and other books, so LSZ’s material might originate from any of these sources. du you 杜佑 (735-812) [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official, statesman, and writer. Style name Junqing 君卿, a man of Wan nian 萬年 in Jing zhao 京兆, now Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西. Du You entered imperial service through recommendation and went on to become the Military Commissioner (jie du shi 節度使) of Ling nan 嶺南, Huai nan 淮南, and other places. He rose to very high positions at court, including that of Grand Councilor (zai xiang 宰相) and was the author of the → Tong dian 通典, the first Chinese comprehensive administrative history to describe rules, regulations, and institutions of the Empire. du yu 杜預 (222-284) [3] Western Jin 晉 general and scholar. Style name Yuankai 元凱, a man of Du ling 杜陵 in Jing zhao 京兆, in the southeast of present-day Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西. He held various high-ranking military posts. An expert in the → Zuo zhuan 左傳, he wrote the Chun qiu Zuo shi jing zhuan ji jie 春秋左氏經傳集 解, “Collected Explanations of the Spring and Autumn Annals in the Classical Tradition of Mr. Zuo,” quoted by LSZ as → Chun qiu Zuo zhuan zhu shu 春秋 左傳注疏. du yu 杜宇 Legendary ruler of the ancient state of Shu 蜀. Towards the end of the Zhou 周 dynasty, he proclaimed himself emperor of Shu with the literary name Wang di 望帝, “Observing Emperor.” Later he retreated into seclusion, and when the people of Shu heard the call of a cuckoo (du juan 杜鵑), they thought it was Du Yu. Elsewhere it is said that his hun 魂 soul was transformed into a cuckoo. In any case, du yu 杜宇 as well as wang di 望帝 both remained alternative names for the cuckoo. LSZ rejected such stories of transformation as absurd hearsay, explaining that, rather, these names imitate the sounds emitted by the chirping of these birds in local dialects. He refers to the emperor as Du Yu [5] and Wang di [2] in SE du juan 杜鵑. du Zhenglun 杜正倫 (died 658) Early Tang 唐 high official. A man of Huan shui 洹水 in Xiang zhou 相州. He served as official under the Sui 隋. Later, → Tang Tai zong 唐太宗 was informed about him and awarded him with the post of Vice Director of the Ministry of War (bing bu yuan wai lang 兵部員外郎). He was promoted to be Secretariat Director (zhong shu ling 中書令) and enfeoffed as Duke of Xian yang County (Xian yang xian gong 襄陽縣公). LSZ cites two of Du’s remarks on pharma-
117 ceutical drugs and a recipe associated with him from the → Ben cao shi yi 本草 拾遺, referring to him as Du Zhenglun [2] and erroneously as Du Zhenglun 杜 正論 [1]. du Zhenglun 杜正論 → Du Zhenglun 杜正倫 Du Zhenglun fang 杜正倫方, “recipe of du Zhenglun” [1] Recipe associated with → Du Zhenglun 杜正倫, not the name of a book. du Zhong 杜仲 [1] Usually the name of a pharmaceutical drug (the bark of Eucommia ulmoides Oliv.), but in SE du zhong 杜仲 the name of a Daoist of ancient times. LSZ writes: “In ancient times Du Zhong ingested this and attained the Dao. It has thus been named after him.” du Zimei 杜子美 → Du Fu 杜甫 Du Zimei ji 杜子美集, “Collection of du Zimei” This is LSZ’s name for some edition of the Du gong bu ji 杜工部集, “Collection of [Mr.] Du from the Ministry of Works,” a collection of writings of the Tang 唐 poet → Du Fu 杜甫 (c. 712-770). FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” AN there Du Fu ji 杜 甫集, “Collection of Du Fu.” Originally 60 juan, but this early edition was lost. The early Northern Song 宋 scholar Wang Zhu 王洙 compiled a manuscript version in 20 juan, which was supplemented with one juan and printed in 1059 by his son Wang Qi 王淇. All other Song editions go back to this text, and various annotated editions with similar titles were produced afterwards on the basis of the Song editions. LSZ lists a Du Zimei ji [1] in his bibliographical sections but does not refer to the collection directly in the main text. He does, however, cite poems of Du Fu as Du Fu shi 杜甫詩, “Poems of Du Fu,” [6], → Xie shi 薤 詩, or as → Chu qian cao shi 除䕭草詩. He also associates some material with the name of Du Fu [3] directly. duan Chengshi 段成式 (803-863) [66] Tang 唐 dynasty scholar. Style name Kegu 柯古, a man of Lin zi 臨淄, now part of Zi bo 淄博 in Shan dong 山東. Duan apparently was a very studious man and held various court posts. He was also made prefect (ci shi 刺史) of Ji zhou 吉 州 but later retired to Xiang yang 襄陽, where he devoted himself to literature, Buddhist literature in particular. Duan was the author of the →You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎 and other books. duan Gonglu 段公路 (9th Century) Man of the Tang 唐 dynasty. A man of Lin zi 臨淄 in present-day Shan dong 山東. He flourished during the time of Emperor Yi zong 懿宗 (860-873) and served as District Defender (xian wei 縣尉) of Wan nian 萬年 in Jing zhao 京兆, now Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西. While traveling in the Ling nan 嶺南 area, he recorded his experiences to create the → Bei hu lu 北戶錄. LSZ refers to him as Duan Gonglu [12] and Duan shi 段氏, “Mr. Duan,” [2]. duan shi 段氏 → Duan Gonglu 段公路
118 Duan shi bei hu lu 段氏北戶錄 → Bei hu lu 北戶錄 Duan xiao fang 端效方, “Truly Efficacious recipes” [3] Lost Yuan 元 dynasty medical recipe book. FE Wen yuan ge shu mu 文淵閣書 目, “Catalogue of the Erudite Literature Pavilion.” Written by Shi Yuan 施圓. 3 juan. Material from the text is preserved in the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, the Yi fang lei ju 醫方類聚, “Categorized Collection of Medical Recipes,” and the Yong le da dian 永樂大典, “Great Encyclopedia of the Yong le Reign Period,” the latter two of which were not available to LSZ. Even though the recipes quoted by LSZ as from the Duan xiao fang appear in the Pu ji fang as well, they are not labeled Duan xiao fang there, so LSZ might have got his material from the original book. About the author nothing is known. Since his book is already cited in the Yuan period Daoyuan xue gu lu 道園學古錄, “Ancient Records of Daoyuan the Scholar,” of Yu Ji 虞集 (1272-1348), it is obvious that Shi Yuan must have lived during or before the time of Yu Ji. duan you 段祐 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty general, fl. during the reign of Emperor → Xian zong 憲宗 (r. 806-820). The supplementary collection of the → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎 records the story of Duan You burning wolf tendons to detect a thief. LSZ cites the story second hand from the → Xu bo wu zhi 續博物志 in SE lang 狼. dugu Ne 獨孤訥 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official. Served as Libationer (ji jiu 祭酒). The → Bi xiao fang 必效方 cites a recipe of his to cure postpartum dysentery, and LSZ takes this over in SE sang du chong 桑蠹虫. dugu Tao 獨孤滔 [35] Tang 唐 dynasty Daoist alchemist. Literary name Zige shansou 紫閣山叟, “Old Man of Mount Zi ge.” Author of the → Dan fang jing yuan 丹房鏡源 or, more properly, Dan fang jian yuan 丹房鑒源, “Mirror Origin of the Cinnabar Chamber.” LSZ cites this work, sometimes referring to Dugu Tao’s name alone. Dugu Tao dan shu 獨孤滔丹書 → Dan fang jing yuan 丹房鏡源 Dun jia Kai shan tu 遁甲開山圖, “Chart to Open the Mountains by use of [the Technique of the Wondrous Gate and] Hidden Shield” Lost book, sometimes written Dun jia Kai shan tu 遯甲開山圖. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Text or sometimes only the annotations attributed to one → Rong shi 榮氏. DC Jin 晉 dynasty or before. 3 juan. Fragments are found in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御 覽, the → Shuo fu 説郛, and other books. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text as Dun jia kai shan tu [2] and Kai shan tu 開山圖, “Chart to Open the Mountains,” [1]. He takes his material from the Tai ping yu lan in SE yun shi, yu hu 雲師, 雨虎, and from the → Shui jing zhu 水經注 in SE bu hui mu 不灰木.

FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui,” which lists dozens of books of that name. LSZ cites a Dun jia shu in his bibliographical sections and the main text, but it is impossible to determine which book exactly he is referring to. The material he quotes is found in the Ji zuan yuan hai 記纂淵海, “Deep Ocean of Records and Compilations,” the → Pi ya 埤雅, the → Shuo fu 説郛, and other books, so that LSZ had ample opportunities to borrow his text and probably did not use the original book. Dun zhai xian lan 遯齋閑覽, “Idle Views from a Secluded Study” Northern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” AN Dun zhai xian lan 遁齋閑覽, “Idle Views from a Secluded Study.” Written by → Chen Zhengmin 陳正敏 (incorrect AV Fan Zhengmin 范正敏). DC 1102-1110. 3 juan (AV 14 juan). The author recorded things he saw and heard to produce this book. It is divided into ten chapters on customs and geographical surroundings, animals and plants, etc. LSZ cites the book as Dun zhai xian lan 遯齋閑覽 [3] and as Dun zhai xian lan 遁齋閑覽 [1] but only refers to the author in the main text. Dun zhai xian lan 遁齋閑覽 → Dun zhai xian lan 遯齋閑覽 Duo neng bi shi 多能鄙事, “Various abilities in rustic Matters” Early Ming 明 agricultural book. FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” Written by Liu Ji 劉基 (→ Liu Bowen 劉伯溫). 12 juan. The work is also believed to be a compilation derived from the → Ju jia bi yong 居家必用 by an author of the middle period of the Ming dynasty, but this is unlikely. The title of the book is a reference to a line in the Lun yu 論語, “Analects,” of Confucius (→ Kong zi 孔子): “When I was young, I was also lowly, therefore I had many abilities in rustic matters.” The book is divided into ten sections on food and drink, pharmaceuticals, clothing, farming and gardening, livestock raising, divination, etc. LSZ refers to the book as Duo neng bi shi [23], as Bi shi 鄙事, “Rustic Matters,” [1] and as Duo neng fang 多能方, “Recipes of Various Abilities,” [1].

120 李滎. DC 1542. 2 juan. The book is a combination of the Gui men bao jian 閨門寶 鑒, “Precious Mirror of the Women’s Quarters,” and the Bo ai xin jian cuo yao 博 愛心鑒撮要, “Synopsis of the Heart Mirror of Universal Love.” Of these books, the first was written by Li Xing himself, and the second consists of a 2 juan abstract, probably by Li Xing, of the → Bo ai xin jian 博愛心鑒 of → Wei Zhi 魏 直. LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections without naming an author and does not cite it in the main text. The author Li Xing, style name Lanxi 嵐溪, literary name Qiaoyang zi 樵陽子, “Master of the Light of Firewood,” was a man of Shao wu 邵武 in Fu jian 福建. Fl. during the jia jing 嘉靖 reign period (1522-1567). He was an expert in medical theory. Apart from the above mentioned books, he compiled the Xin yin gan zhu jing 心印紺珠經, “Classic of the Purple Pearl Imprinted in the Heart.” Er ya 爾雅, “Examples of refined usage” [429] China’s earliest dictionary. Its compilation was begun at the beginning of the Han 漢 dynasty and was successively continued after that, using various texts written before the period of the individual compilers. The current edition consists of 19 chapters in 3 juan. Later scholars used the Er ya to interpret Confucian writings, so from Tang 唐 and Song 宋 times on it was considered one of the 13 classics. The work was annotated by various authors. When listing the expanded commentary → Er ya zhu shu 爾雅注疏 in his bibliography, LSZ lists → Li Xun 李巡, → Guo Pu 郭璞, and → Xing Bing 邢昺 as commentators. He frequently uses the Er ya for explanations throughout the BCGM (referring to the dictionary’s individual sections Shi cao 釋草, “Explanations of Herbs,” [1], Shi shou 釋獸, “Explanations of Quadrupeds,” [1], and Shi mu 釋木, “Explanations of Trees,” [1] by name) and cites the annotations and commentaries of Li Xun, Guo Pu, and Xing Bing as well.

The extant version in 3 juan is now included in the Shi san jing zhu shu 十三經注疏, “Annotations and Commentaries to the Thirteen Classics.” LSZ cites the book as Er ya zhu [12], as Guo shi zhu Er ya 郭氏注爾 雅, “Mr. Guo’s Annotations to the Er ya,” [1], as Guo Pu zhu Er ya 郭璞注爾雅, “Guo Pu’s Annotations to the Er ya,” [25], as Guo zhu 郭注, “Guo’s Annotations,” [6], and as Guo Pu zhu 郭璞注, “Guo Pu’s Annotations,” [37]. Lost Eastern Han 漢 commentary on the → Er ya 爾雅. Written by → Li Xun 李巡. Fragments of the text were included in the later → Er ya zhu shu 爾雅 注疏 of → Guo Pu 郭璞 and → Xing Bing 邢昺. LSZ does not refer explicitly to an Er ya zhu of Li’s but lists Li as one of the commentators of the Er ya zhu shu in the BCGM bibliography and quotes an annotation of his under the name Li Xun [1] in the main text. Er ya zhu shu 爾雅注疏, “annotations and Commentary to Er ya” [1] Collective name for the → Er ya shu 爾雅疏 and the → Er ya zhu 爾雅注 , the former text including the latter. Erzhu xiansheng 耳珠先生, “Gentleman Erzhu” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty Daoist. Attributed to him is a method for securing teeth (→ Erzhu xiansheng jue 耳珠先生訣). No further details available. Erzhu xiansheng jue 耳珠先生訣, “Formula of the Gentleman Erzhu” Dental method. The → ZLBC quotes a method (fa 法) of Erzhu for securing teeth and lists a text called Erzhu xiansheng fa 耳珠先生法, “Methods of the Gentleman Erzhu,” in its bibliography. LSZ takes this over as Erzhu xiansheng jue in his bibliographical sections and describes the same method as the ZLBC in his main text. No text of the name Erzhu xiansheng fa or Erzhu xiansheng jue is known, so Erzhu xiansheng jue is apparently not the name of a book but only a designation for the one particular dental method described here.

-FFa hua jing 法華經, “dharma Flower Sutra” (Lotus Sutra) [4] Buddhist text. FE Jun zhai du shu zhi 郡齋讀書志, “Catalogue of Books Read at the Prefectural Study.” This is a Buddhist sutra using the lotus as an anology for Buddhist teaching. There are three translations of the Fa hua jing, the most famous one is the 7 juan Miao fa hua lian jing 妙法華蓮經, “Miraculous Dharma Flower Lotus Sutra,” of Kumarajiva that was brought to completion during the Later Qin 秦 dynasty (384-417).

The Fa ming zheng zhi is divided up into three texts: The first is called Fa ming zheng zhi, it discusses disease signs and pharmaceutical treatment and is divided into chapters on pathogenic influences like wind, cold, summerheat, dampness, dryness, and fire. The second is the Jing yi yu lu 精義語錄, “Record of Conversations on Refined Meaning,” devoted to disease mechanisms and life cultivation. The third text is called Nan shi xin shu 南 市心術, “Core Arts of the Southern City,” and deals with acumoxa therapy and related topics. The whole collection is named after the first volume. The extant edition is incomplete. LSZ cites the book as Fa ming zheng zhi [1], as Zheng zhi fa ming 證治發明, “Expounding of Disease Signs and Treatment,” [1], or by the author’s style name He Daying [2]. Fa sheng tang fang 法生堂方 → Fa sheng tang jing yan fang 法生堂經驗方 Fa sheng tang jing yan fang 法生堂經驗方, “Tried and Proven recipes of Fa sheng Hall” Medical recipe book. See bibliography of the BCGM.

Fa tian sheng yi 法天生意, “Vitality from Following the Heavenly Laws” [4] Medical recipe book. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Kuixuan zi 窺玄子. Further details unavailable. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections and takes three single ingredient recipes from it. Fa tie 法帖, “Model Calligraphies” Carved reproductions or books of rubbings of famous calligraphy. LSZ traces the origin of the alternative name lai qin 來禽 for lin qin 林檎 (crab apple) to a Fa tie [1]. This is a reference to the famous Lai qin tie 來禽帖, “Lai qin Calligra-
123 phy Model,” of → Wang Xizhi 王羲之, which LSZ also refers to as Wang Xizhi tie 王羲之帖, “Calligraphy Model of Wang Xizhi,” [1].

The book imitates the Lun yu 論語, “Analects,” in style and focuses on Confucian doctrine but includes Daoist ideas as well. LSZ cites the work in his main text only. Fan a 樊阿 [4] Physician from the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period. A man of Peng cheng 彭城, now Xu zhou 徐州 in Jiang su 江蘇. In his youth he is said to have studied medicine with → Hua Tuo 華佗 and to have obtained from him a “powder with laquer leaves and clear glue” (qi ye qing nian san 漆葉青黏散) that was supposed to strengthen the body. Events about Fan A’s life (→ Fan A zhuan 樊阿傳) are appended to the → Hua Tuo bie zhuan 華佗別傳 in the Wei zhi 魏 志, “Records of Wei,” (→ San guo zhi 三國志). Pei Songzhi 裴鬆之, in his annotations to Hua Tuo’s biography, provides more detailed information about the laquer and glue powder.

Fan has a literary collection, the Shihu jushi shi ji 石湖居士詩集, “Poetry Collection of the Retired Scholar of Rock Lake,” and was the author of the → Gui hai yu heng zhi 桂海虞衡志 and many other books. LSZ cites his → Shihu ji 石湖集, the Gui hai yu heng zhi, the → Ju pu 菊譜 , and the → Mei pu 梅譜. He refers to Fan as Fan Chengda [31], as Fan Zhineng 范致能 [1], incorrectly as Fan Zhineng 范至能 [2], as Fan Shihu 范石湖 [1], and as Fan shi 范 氏, “Mr. Fan,” [1].

124 ter ingesting peach blossoms. LSZ cites this story in SE tao 桃 but names the → Du yang bian 杜陽編 as his source, probably following a mistake in the jia jing 嘉靖 reign period (1522-1567) Gu jin shuo hai 古今説海, “Ocean of Tales from Ancient and Modern Times,” of Lu Ji 陸楫. Fan Chuo 樊綽 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official. During the era of Yi zong 懿宗 (r. 860-873), Fan was a Military Commissioner (jie du shi 節度使) in Ling nan 嶺南. Thus, he knew a lot about the customs and local products of the various peoples of nearby Yun nan 雲南, about which he wrote a Man shu 蠻書, “Book of the Southern Barbarians,” (AN → Yun nan zhi 雲南志). LSZ cites this book in his main text, but when quoting Fan Chuo himself, he does so while referring to a → Yun nan ji 雲 南記 instead of the Yun nan zhi, apparently confusing the Yun nan zhi with the Yun nan ji of → Yuan Zi 袁滋. Fan Dongyang fang 范東陽方, “recipes of Fan dongyang” Lost medical recipe book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Fan Wang 范汪. DC 4th century. 170 juan. Fan once held the post of governor (tai shou 太守) of Dong yang 東陽 and was therefore called Fan Dongyang 范東陽. The book was one of the more important pharmaceutical works of the Jin 晉 dynasty and contained recipes considered proven as well as folk remedies or local treatment methods. Fragments are found in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方 and the → ZLBC. LSZ cites the book second hand, referring to it as Fan Dongyang fang [2], as Fan Wang fang 范汪方, “Recipes of Fan Wang,” [35], as Dongyang fang 東陽方, “Recipes of from Dong yang,” [7], or simply using the name of the author Fan Wang [7]. Fan Fengyi 范奉議 [1] Southern Song 宋 physician. He once employed moxa cauterization to cure a Buddhist nun from a severe case of an “obstruction- and impediment-illness” (yong ju 癰疽). → Shi Yuan 史源 mentions him in the preface to his Zhi bei chuang fang 治背瘡方, “Recipes for Treating Sores on the Back,” and LSZ takes this over in SE hu 葫. Fan gong 范公, “Honorable Mr. Fan” [1] This is Fan Zhongyan 范仲淹 of the Song 宋 dynasty. Fan once governed a place called Qing zhou 青州 and gained a reputation for his benevolent government. Consequently, a spring near Qing zhou was named after him. Since doctors used the spring water to make pills, one of them is named “white pill of Qing zhou” (Qing zhou bai wan zi 青州白丸子). LSZ recounts this story. Fan Li 范蠡 Spring and Autumn period official. Style name Shaobo 少伯, a man of the state of Chu 楚, now Nan yang 南陽 in He nan 河南. He once helped the King of Yue 越 (→ Yue wang 越王 ) to destroy the state of Wu 吳. Following this achievement he retired into seclusion to live an itinerant life and changed his name to Tao Zhugong 陶朱公. While he stayed in the state of Yue 越, he took one Jiran
125 計然 as his teacher. The conversations between the two men are recorded in the → Fan zi Jiran 范子計然. His speeches can be found in the → Guo yu 國語 and in Fan’s biography in the → Shi ji 史記. LSZ, when citing from the Fan zi Jiran, refers to Fan as Fan zi 范子, “Master Fan,” [14]. In a second hand citation of the → Lie xian zhuan 列仙傳 from the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚 or the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, he refers to him as Fan Li [1], and a reference to Tao Zhu gong [1] in SE liu 柳 is taken from the → Qi min yao shu 齊民要術.

As an adult, this child became a general called → Hu er 胡兒. LSZ cites this in SE ren gui 人傀. Fan shi 范氏 → Fan Chengda 范成大 Fan Shihu 范石湖 → Fan Chengda 范成大 Fan Shihu ji 范石湖集 → Shihu ji 石湖集 Fan Shihu wen ji 范石湖文集 → Shihu ji 石湖集 Fan shu 梵書, “Brahma Books” [37] Originally a designation of ancient Sanskrit or Brahmanic texts, but LSZ seems to use the term as a reference to Buddhist texts translated into Chinese. Fan Wang 范汪 (c. 308-372) Eastern Jin 晉 official and physician. Style name Xuan ping 玄平, a man of Shun yang 順陽 in Nan yang 南陽, now Nei xiang 內鄉 in He nan 河南. An accomplished physician and of humble origin himself, Fan apparently treated everybody that sought his help, no matter if they had a high or lowly background. At one stage of his life he held the post of governor (tai shou 太守) of Dong yang 東 陽 and was therefore called Fan Dongyang 范東陽. His recipe collection is the → Fan Dongyang fang 范東陽方, now lost. LSZ refers to him as Fan Wang [49] and within the the title of his book as Fan Dongyang [2]. Fan Wang fang 范汪方 → Fan Dongyang fang 范東陽方 Fan ye 范曄 (398-446) Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty historian and scholar. Style name Weizong 蔚宗, a man of Shun yang 順陽 in the southeast of present-day Xi chuan 淅川 in He nan 河 南.

Fan was the author of the standard history → Hou Han shu 後漢書 and other books. LSZ used his Hou Han shu and the → He xiang fang 合香方.
126 Fan yun 范雲 (451-503) Liang 梁 dynasty literatus and high official. Style name Yanlong 彥龍, a man of Wu yin 舞陰 in Nan xiang 南鄉, in the northwest of Mi yang 泌陽 in He nan 河南. The → Nan shi 南史 contains his biography. His offices included Minister of the Ministry of Personnel (li bu shang shu 吏部尚書) and Right Vice Director of the Imperial Secretariat (shang shu you pu ye 尚書右僕射). When he suffered from an epidemic disease, the physician → Xu Wenbo 徐文伯 gave in to his request to cure him as fast as possible and applied a treatment of diaphoresis too early, with detrimental long-term results. This story was told in the → Ben shi fang 本事方 as a warning against unjustified diaphoresis, and LSZ takes this over in SE tao 桃, referring to Fan Yun as Fan Yun [1] and Yun 雲 [3]. Fan Zhineng 范致能 → Fan Chengda 范成大 Fan Zhineng 范至能 → Fan Chengda 范成大 Fan zi 范子 → Fan zi Jiran 范子計然, → Fan Li 范蠡 Fan zi Jiran 范子計然, “Master Fan and Jiran” Lost book.

The book is a record of conversations between Fan and his teacher Jiran 計然. The book mainly deals with agriculture and related topics like bumper harvests and famines. It also describes a small number of pharmaceutical substances. Fragments are quoted in the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the → Chu xue ji 初學記, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → ZLBC, and other books. LSZ cites the book as Fan zi Jiran [14] in his bibliographical sections and the main text, where he also refers material to Fan zi 范 子, “Master Fan,” [1] only.

Style name Huazong 華宗, a man of Lu jiang 廬江, now He fei 合肥 in An hui 安徽. He held several honorific titles and high posts in the central government. According to his biography in the → Sui shu 隋書, he distributed qing mu xiang 青木香 as a protection against miasmatic qi. LSZ cites this in SE mu xiang 木香, referring to Fan as Fan Zigai [1] and Zigai 子蓋 [1]. Fang bian ji 方便集, “Convenient Collection [of recipes]” [1] Medical recipe book. Not listed in any bibliographical source. Author and contents unknown. DC early Ming 明 or before. The → Pu ji fang 普濟方 quotes its recipes, and LSZ takes one over in his main text from juan 36 in SE fu zi 附子. Fang Boyu 房伯玉 Southern Qi 齊 general and governor (tai shou 太守) of Nan yang 南陽. LSZ refers to him as Fang Boyu [1] and Boyu 伯玉 [1] in a story from the → Nan shi 南史 about → Xu Sibo 徐嗣伯 diagnosing an illness. Fang Guang 方廣 [10] Medical writer, fl. 16th century. Style name Yuezhi 約之, literary name Gu’an 古庵, “Ancient Hut.” A man of Xiu ning 休寧 in Xin an 新安, now part of An
127 hui 安徽. It is said that his mother died of erroneous treatment, so her son felt compelled to study medicine. He traveled the He luo 河洛 area around Luo yang 洛陽 and finally settled down in Chen liu 陳留 to practice medicine. Fang was editor of the → Danxi xin fa fu yu 丹溪心法附餘 of 1536. Fang Guang yun 方廣云 → Danxi xin fa fu yu 丹溪心法附餘 Fang guo zhi 方國志, “records of all Neighboring Countries” [3] Anonymous book. See bibliography of the BCGM. There is one earlier reference in the Song 宋 dynasty Jiang biao zhi 江表志, “Records from the Jiang biao Area,” but whether this is the same book as LSZ is referring to is uncertain. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections without giving the name of an author. The material he cites in the main text in regard to sheep from the Muslim world is also found in books by his contemporaries, but their sources are uncertain as well. The material on gan lu 甘露, a sweet substance (“manna”) exsudated by the camel thorn tree growing in Iran and Turkestan, is found nowhere else. The only thing that can be said about the Fang guo zhi is that it was written before Ming 明 times. Further information is unavailable. Fang ji 坊記 → Li ji 禮記 Fang Liang 方良 [1] Legendary demon, also known as Wang Liang 魍魎 (AV Wang Liang 罔兩), who was said to devour the livers of human corpses. Fang Liang was one of the evil spirits that the → Fang xiang shi 方相氏 was supposed to ward off. LSZ mentions him in SE wang liang 罔兩. Fang Qianli 房千里 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official. Style name Huju 鵠舉. A man of He nan 河南, jin shi at the beginning of the tai he 太和 reign period (827-835) Fang held local offices and a post at the Imperial Academy.

[6] Man of the Song 宋 dynasty. Style name Rensheng 仁聲, a man of Jin hua 金 華 in Wu zhou 婺州, now part of Zhe jiang 浙江. During his later years he lived in Wu cheng 烏程, now Hu zhou 湖州 in Zhe jiang. Some erroneously assign Fang to Yan lai 嚴瀨, now Tong lu 桐廬 county in Zhe jiang. Fang entered the Imperial Academy (tai xue 太學) in 1083 and later held a local post. After failing the civil service examination in 1090 in Hang zhou 杭州, he gave up his plans for an official career. He was one of the followers of → Su Shi 蘇軾 and in his later life devoted himself to Daoist arts of life cultivation. Author of the → Bo zhai bian 泊宅編. Fang shi jing 房室經, “Classic of the Chambers” Northern Song 宋 or pre-Song book. EE → ZLBC. Author and size unknown. Starting from editions of the Ming 明 dynasty cheng hua 成化 reign period (1465-1487) on, editions of the ZLBC and other works erroneously referred to the text as Fang wu jing 房屋經, “Classic of Residencies,” and LSZ takes this
128 over in SE gong nu xian 弓弩弦, referring to a Fang wu jing [1] as well. Furthermore, the original wording “secret methods from inside the palace that must not be transmitted to the outside” (gong zhong mi fa bu chuan chu 宮中秘法不傳出) was changed to “this is a secretly transmitted recipe of the Jade Girl of the Purple Palace” (ci nai zi gong yu nü mi chuan fang ye 此乃紫宮玉女秘傳方也). In his bibliographical sections, LSZ erroneously lists the text as → Fang shi tu 房室圖. Fang shi tu 房室圖, “Illustrations of the Chambers” [1] Incorrect title of the → Fang shi jing 房室經. The → ZLBC cites a fragment from the text. LSZ takes over this material in the main text but in his bibliography erroneously writes tu 圖 instead of jing 經, rendering the title Fang shi tu. Fang wai qi fang 方外奇方, “Exceptional recipes Beyond the [usual] recipes” Lost Ming 明 dynasty recipe book. FE Guo shi jing ji zhi 國史經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatises of the Dynastic Histories.” According to the Wan juan tang shu mu 萬卷堂書目, “Catalogue of the Hall of Ten-thousand Volumes,” and other catalogues, the book was written by Liu Dang 劉党, but the BCGM and the Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall,” ascribe the work to Bai Feixia 白飛霞 (→ Han Mao 韓 ). LSZ cites the book as Fang wai qi fang [4] and as Bai Feixia fang 白飛霞方, “Recipes of Bai Feixia,” [1]. Fang Wei 房偉 [1] Tang dynasty person, fl. during the yuan he 元和 reign period (806-820). A man of He nan 河南, now Luo yang 洛陽 in He nan. He is said to have transmitted a recipe for a salt decoction for the treatment of “dry cholera” (gan huo luan 乾霍 亂). This is recorded in the → Jiu san si fang 救三死方. Fang wu jing 房屋經 → Fang shi jing 房室經 Fang wu zan 方物贊 → Jian nan fang wu zan 劍南方物贊 Fang Xian 方賢 Ming 明 dynasty medical official, lived during the 15th century. A man of Wu xing 吳興, now part of Zhe jiang 浙江. Between 1436 and 1456 Fang held a post at the Imperial Academy of Medicine (tai yi yuan 太醫院) and discovered recipes that had previously been collected by Dong Su 董宿 but had never been published. These he revised and expanded in scope, working with the imperial physician Yang Wenhan 楊文翰 to produce the → Qi xiao liang fang 奇效良方. Fang xiang 方相 → Fang xiang shi 方相氏 Fang xiang shi 方相氏, “Gentleman Who Sees Four directions” Official post recorded in the Minister of War in the Summer Office (xia guan si ma 夏官司馬) section of the → Zhou li 周禮, in charge of warding off evil spirits (in particular the → Fang Liang 方良) and pestilence. LSZ refers to such a person as Fang xiang 方相 [2] and Fang xiang shi [1] in SE wang liang 罔兩. Fang Xiaoru 方孝孺 (1357-1402) [2] Ming 明 dynasty scholar. Style name Xizhi 希直, also Xigu 希古. A man of Ning hai 寧海 in Zhe jiang 浙江. Fang was a disciple of → Song Lian 宋濂 and was called Zhengxue xiansheng 正學先生, “Gentleman of Orthodox Learning.”
129 During the time of Emperor Hui 惠 (r. 1399-1403), Fang held a court post as Academician Expositor-in-waiting (shi jiang xue shi 侍講學士) and was in charge of compiling the Tai zu shi lu 太祖實錄, “Veritable Records of Tai zu.” Later, after refusing to write an edict proclaiming the ascension of the throne by the Yong le 永樂 emperor, Fang and his entire clan and followers were exterminated. He has a literary collection, the → Xun zhi zhai ji 遜志齋集, cited by LSZ. Fang Xiaoru ji 方孝孺集 → Xun zhi zhai ji 遜志齋集 Fang Xuanling 房玄齡 (579-648) [1] Tang 唐 dynasty high official. In SE yin 銀, LSZ states that → Tang Tai zong 唐 太宗 once rewarded Fang with a belt made from yellow silver. Fang Xugu 方虛谷 (1227-1307) [2] This is the literary name of the Yuan 元 scholar and author Fang Hui 方回. Style name Wanli 萬里, a man of Xi xian 歙縣 in present-day An hui 安徽. Sometime between 1260 and 1264, he stood for an exam in a province other than his own and passed. Fang was governor of Yan zhou 嚴州, but when the Yuan armies arrived he surrendered to them, consequently receiving the post of Assistant Brigade Commander (zong guan 總管) of Jian de lu 建德路 (i.e. Yan zhou). He was dismissed from office a little while later and for the rest of his life lived alternately in Hang zhou 杭州 and his home area. He wrote a Xugu ji 虛谷集, “Collection of [Fang] Xugu,” but this was lost by Ming 明 times. Two other books by Fang, the Tong jiang ji 桐江集, “The Tong jiang Collection,” and Tong jiang xu ji 桐江續集, “Subsequent Tong jiang Collection,” survive. LSZ draws upon this material but does not cite it directly, referring to a → Fang Xugu ji 方 虛谷集 instead. Fang Xugu ji 方虛谷集, “Collection of Fang Xugu” Yuan 元 dynasty literary collection. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by Fang Hui 方回 (→ Fang Xugu 方虛谷). Xugu 虛谷, “Empty Valley,” was Fang’s literary name, thus the title. The original collection, called Xugu ji 虛谷集, “Collection of [Fang] Xugu,” was lost by Ming 明 times, therefore Ming and Qing 清 bibliographies do not list the work. Still extant are Fang’s Tong jiang ji 桐江集, “The Tong jiang Collection,” and a Tong jiang xu ji 桐江續集, “Subsequent Tong jiang Collection.” LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections as Fang Xugu ji [1] without naming the author. The passage in the main text where LSZ cites a → Ding lan shuo 訂蘭説 by Fang is rather different in wording to the equivalent passages in the Tong jiang xu ji, so it remains uncertain where LSZ got his material from and which collection he is referring to as Fang Xugu ji. Fang yan 方言, “regional Languages” Western Han 漢 dictionary of early Chinese dialects. AN You xuan shi zhe jue dai yu shi bie guo fang yan 輶軒使者絕代語釋別國方言, “Regional Languages of Other Countries with Explanations of the Words from Distant Eras for Emissaries on Light Carriages.” FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by→ Yang Xiong 揚雄. The work resembles the → Er ya 爾雅 in style and collects and categorizes old and new
130 synonyms from various places, indicating their origin clearly. There is a Jin 晉 dynasty annotated edition by → Guo Pu 郭璞 called Fang yan zhu 方言注, “Annotations to the Fang yan,” in 13 juan. LSZ cites this book as Fang yan [32], attributing it to the original author Yang Xiong in his bibliography. He also refers to Guo’s annotations as Guo Pu zhu Fang yan 郭璞注方言, “Guo Pu’s Annotations to the Fang yan,” [1] in the main text. Fang yiwu 方夷吾 [1] This is the style name of Fang Dao 方導, a Southern Song 宋 official. Literary name Juezhai jushi 覺齋居士, “Recluse of the Study of Awakening.” His family had been based in Fu liang 浮梁, now Jing de zhen 景德鎮 in Jiang xi 江 西, but during the shao xing 紹興 and qian dao 乾道 reign periods (1131-1173), he followed his father who served as an official in the regions of the Yangzi and Huai 淮 rivers, in Hu bei 湖北 and Hu nan 湖南, as well as in Fu jian 福建 and Zhe jiang 浙江. Later in his life he retired and edited the recipes that had been successfully used in his family to produce the Fang shi ji yao fang 方氏集要方, “Collected Important Recipes of Mr. Fang,” (→ Ji yao fang 集要方 ), which was published by his brother-in-law → Chen Rihua 陳日華 in 1198. LSZ mentions Fang in SE niu xi 牛膝. Fang yu sheng lan 方輿勝覽, “an Overall Survey of the Earth” Southern Song 宋 comprehensive geographical text. FE Tian lu lin lang shu mu 天祿琳琅書目, “Catalogue of Precious Books in the Possession of the Empire.” Written by → Zhu Mu 祝穆. DC 1239. 70 juan. The work contains detailed information on Lin an 臨安 (now Hang zhou 杭州 in Zhe jiang 浙江) after the establishment of the Southern Song capital there. It describes historical changes of the area, geographical features and distances, historical sites and scenic spots, local customs, etc. LSZ refers to the work as Fang yu sheng lan [3], incorrectly as the Fang yu yao lan 方輿要覽, “Essential Survey of the Earth,” [1] in his bibliographical sections, and as Fang yu zhi 方輿志, “Monograph on the Earth,” [5]. Fang yu yao lan 方輿要覽 → Fang yu sheng lan 方輿勝覽 Fang yu zhi 方輿志 → Fang yu sheng lan 方輿勝覽 Fang zhen bian nian lu 方鎮編年錄, “Chronological records of the defense Commander” This is LSZ’s name for the Fang zhen bian nian 方鎮編年, “Chronicles of the Defense Commander,” a lost, anonymous book. EE Yun xian za ji 雲仙雜記, “Miscellaneous Records of the Immortals of the Clouds,” (→ Yun xian lu 雲 仙錄). Author and size unknown. The Yun xian za ji, the first work to mention a Fang zhen bian nian, is most probably a forgery from the beginning of the Southern Song 宋 dynasty, and the passage cited there mentions the Five Dynasties kingdom Wu yue 吳越 as well as its founder Qian Liu 錢鏐, so the Fang zhen bian nian seems to be a Northern Song text. LSZ cites the text as Fang zhen bian nian lu [1] in his bibliographical sections and as Fang zhen bian nian [1] in the main text. Looking at possible sources, LSZ must have taken his material either from the Yun xian za ji or the → Shuo fu 説郛.
131 Fasheng 法盛 [1] This is LSZ’s name for He Fasheng 何法盛, a man of the Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty. He’s native place is not recorded, but it is known that he held a local post as governor (tai shou 太守). His → Jin zhong xing shu 晉中興書 has survived in fragments, but the → Nan shi 南史 assigns the work to Xi Shao 郗紹, saying that He falsely claimed the book for himself. Fei hong ji 飛鴻集 → Hong fei ji 鴻飛集 Fei Xin 費信 (1388-?) [5] Ming 明 dynasty oceanic explorer. Style name Gongxiao 公曉, a man of Kun shan 崑山 and Tai cang 太倉 garrison in Wu jun 吳郡, now Tai cang in Jiang su 江蘇. As a 14-year-old, he joined the army to replace his elder brother. He followed Zheng He 鄭和 on his voyages, and recorded his experiences in the → Xing cha sheng lan 星槎勝覽 and the Tian xin ji xing lu 天心紀行錄, “Records and Travel Notes Taken at the Emperor’s Will.” LSZ cites the former work when discussing pharmaceutical substances from overseas. Fei xue lu 霏雪錄, “records of Swirling Snowflakes” [9] Early Ming 明 dynasty book. FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” Written by → Liu Ji 劉績 (AV Liu Ji 鎦績). 2 juan. Apart from narrating past events and attempting to distinguish doubtful matters, the book also records fantasies and humorous stories. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text, but the material on gan cao 甘草 he uses is not found in the current version of the Fei xue lu. Fei Zhangfang 費長房 Eastern Han 漢 master of recipes (fang shi 方士), a man of Ru nan 汝南, in the southwest of present-day Shang cai 上蔡 in He nan 河南. According to his biography in the → Hou Han shu 後漢書 , he was serving as a market official when he met a divine immortal who taught him the Dao. The → Xu Qi xie ji 續齊諧記 cites his methods to ward off inauspicious things: ascending a high mountain, drinking Chrysanthemum wine on the ninth day of the ninth month, or carrying a bag of wu zhu yu 吳茱萸 on one’s belt. LSZ takes these recommendations and other things over, referring to Fei as Fei Zhangfang [3] and as Zhangfang 長房 [2]. Feixia zi 飛霞子 → Han Mao 韓 Fen tu 粉圖, “Powder Illustrations” [2] Lost Daoist book. FE Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises.” AN Wu jin fen tu jue 五金粉圖訣, “Powder Illustrations and Secret Instructions on the Five Metals.” Attributed to the late Eastern Han 漢 alchemist → Hugang zi 狐剛子. 4 juan. The book is quoted in the → ZLBC in a section on musk, but LSZ takes his material from the → Xixi cong hua 西溪叢話 rather than the ZLBC. He cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text.
132 Feng gui ren 馮貴人, “dame Feng” [1] Ming 明 or pre-Ming person. Personal name unknown. According to LSZ, grave robbers, when opening her tomb, found that her corpse appeared as if alive because it had been covered by mica. LSZ cites this in SE yun mu 雲母. Feng Han lin 馮翰林, “Feng of the Han lin academy” [1] This is probably Feng Bi 馮璧, a Jin 金 dynasty high official. Style name Shuxian 叔獻, a man of Zhen ding 真定, now Zheng ding 正定 in He bei 河北. Jin shi 1197, promoted to be a Senior Compiler (xiu zhuan 修撰) at the Han lin 翰 林 Academy in 1214. He died a few years after 1232 at the age of 79. According to the → Dongyuan shi xiao fang 東垣試效方, → Li Gao 李杲 once cured Feng’s nephew of “harm caused by cold leading to exuberant yin blocking yang” (yin sheng ge yang shang han 陰盛格陽傷寒). LSZ cites this story in SE fu zi 附子. Feng ji 蜂記, “Bee records” [2] Song 宋 dynasty text. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by Wang Yucheng 王禹偁 (→ Wang Yuanzhi 王元之). The essay discusses the characteristics, habits, and social organization of bees and wasps. Despite the impression given by LSZ, the Feng ji was never a separately circulating work. The original name of the text, preserved in juan 14 of Wang’s Xiao xu ji 小畜集, “The Xiao xu Collection,” is Ji feng 紀蜂, “Taking Records of Bees,” but the → Gu jin shi lei he bi 古 今事類合璧, referring the text to Wang Yuanzhi, changes this into Feng ji. LSZ, probably taking this over from the Gu jin shi lei he bi, cites the text in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Feng Junda 封君達 Legendary divine immortal of the late Eastern Han 漢, also called Qingniu daoshi 青牛道士, “Daoist Master of the Black Ox.” According to the → Shen xian zhuan 神仙傳, a member of the Feng 封 clan from Long xi 隴西, now in the south of Long xi in Gan su 甘肅. He is said to have ingested huang jing 黃 精, usually identified as solomon’s seal, for more than 50 years, which in LSZ’s view is huang lian 黃連. He also obtained the recipe for pills with fireflies passed on by → Liu Zinan 劉子南, and in turn presented it to → Huangfu Long 皇甫 隆. LSZ refers to him as Feng Junda [1] and as Qingniu daoshi [1]. Feng mu wen da 風木問答, “Questions and answers on regretting One’s Failure to Take Care of the deceased Parents” [1] Probably an erroneous name of a book. EE BCGM. Attributed to → Zhu Zhenheng 朱震亨 by LSZ. The Gu Danxi xiansheng Zhu gong shi biao ci 故丹溪先生 朱公石表辭, “Stone Inscription in Memory of Honorable Mr. Zhu, the Gentleman of Red Creek,” by → Song Lian 宋濂 mentions a Feng shui wen da 風水問 答, “Questions and Answers on Landscape Geomancy,” by Zhu, so Feng mu wen da is most likely an erroneous designation. LSZ mentions the book in the → Ben cao yan yi bu yi 本草衍義補遺 entry in his bibliographical sections but does not list it separately, nor does he cite it directly in the main text.

DC (expanded version) 1307. The text describes theories and practical methods for preventing illness and maintaining the health of old people. LSZ only lists Chen Zhi as the author and ignores Zou Hong, although the material he uses from the text includes selections from additions by the latter. LSZ cites the text as Feng qin yang lao shu [4], as Feng qin yang lao fang 奉親養老方, “Recipes for Attending to One’s Parents and Nourishing the Elderly,” [3], as Shou qin yang lao shu 壽親養老書, “Book of Prolonging One’s Parents’ Lives and Nourishing the Elderly,” [4], as Shou qin yang lao fang 壽親養老方, “Recipes for Prolonging One’s Parents’ Lives and Nourishing the Elderly,” [2], as Feng qin shu 奉親書, “Book of Attending to One’s Parents,” [2], as Yang lao shu 養老書, “Book of Nourishing the Elderly,” [9], as Yang lao fang 養 老方, “Recipes for Nourishing the Elderly,” [6], and as Shou qin 壽親, “Prolonging One’s Parents’ Lives,” [1].

Feng yansi 馮延巳 [1] Southern Tang 唐 high official. Also known as Feng Yansi 馮延嗣, style name Zhengzhong 正中, a man of Guang ling 廣陵, now Yang zhou 揚州 in Jiang Su 江蘇. Feng rose to the office of Grand Councilor (cheng xiang 丞相) and has a biography in the → Nan Tang shu 南唐書, which describes how the Imperial Physician (tai yi ling 太醫令) → Wu Tingshao 吳廷紹 cured Feng from an illness. LSZ cites this case history in SE zhe gu 鷓鴣.
134 Fo jing 佛經 → Fo shu 佛書 Fo shu 佛書, “Buddhist Books” General designation for Buddhist scriptures. LSZ uses such texts as sources of material on various pharmaceutical substances, referring to them as Fo shu [7] and Fo jing 佛經, “Buddhist sutras,” [4]. However, some references designated as such are actually quoted from other works. Foji er 佛記兒 [1] Ming 明 dynasty person. According to the → Lang ye man chao 琅琊漫鈔, a pregnant woman gave birth to a child from a swelling below her ribs in her flank in Su zhou 宿州 (in present-day An hui 安徽) during the cheng hua 成化 reign period (1465-1487).

LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text, taking his material from the Xixi cong hua.
135 Fu hou 伏侯, “Marquis Fu” (died 157) This is the title of Fu Wuji 伏無忌, an Eastern Han 漢 man from Ji nan 濟南 in present-day Shan dong 山東. During the time of Emperor Shun 順 (r. 126-144) he held a military post, and during the reign of Huan di 桓帝 (r. 151-152) he was ordered to participate in the compilation of the → Dong guan Han ji 東觀漢記. Fu was also the author of the → Gu jin zhu 古今注 . LSZ erroneously writes his name Fu hou 伏候 [3] and attributes the → Zhong hua gu jin zhu 中華古今 注 to him. Fu hou 伏候 → Fu hou 伏侯 Fu Jian 符堅 → Fu Jian 苻堅 Fu Jian 苻堅 (338-385) Ruler of Former Qin 秦, during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, r. 357-385. Of the Di 氐 nationality, he was able to unite a large region in the North but was killed by the chieftain of the Qiang 羌 people following a disastrous defeat at the Fei 淝 river. LSZ, citing the → Jin shu 晉書 in SE ren gui 人傀, relates that Fu Jian’s mother was pregnant for 12 months before she gave birth to him. However, he erroneously writes Fu’s name Fu Jian 符堅 [1]. Fu jiao jue 服椒訣, “Instructions for Ingesting Pepper” [2] Daoist food recipe. See bibliography of the BCGM, the source of the recipe is uncertain. Attributed to the Jin 晉 dynasty author → Wu Meng 吳猛. The text details the reasons for Daoists to take flower pepper and provides a recipe. LSZ turns the recipe name into a book title in his bibliography and cites it in the main text.

Fu qi jing yi fang 服氣精義方, “recipes of the Subtle doctrine of Taking in Qi” [1] Lost, anonymous Daoist book on life cultivation. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. DC Northern Song 宋 or before. The Dao zang 道藏, “Daoist Canon,” (→ Dao zang jing 道藏經) has a Fu qi jing yi lun 服氣精義論, “Discourses on the Subtle Doctrine of Ingesting Qi,” by Bai Yun 白雲, but this book does not contain the material attributed to the Fu qi jing yi fang in the ZLBC, which preserves three fragments. LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections, but when using the ZLBC material in the main text he does not refer to the Fu qi jing yi fang. Instead, he refers two methods of life cultivation to Liu Jun’an 劉君 安 (→ Liu An 劉安) and material on the Chinese date (zao 棗) simply to a → Dao shu 道書, a general term for Daoist books. Fu Qian 服虔 [7] Eastern Han 漢 Confucian scholar. Style name Zishen 子慎, a man of Xing yang 滎陽 in He nan 河南. Fu served as governor (tai shou 太守) of Jiu jiang 九 江 during the late 180s and believed in classical learning based on ancient texts.

According to the Zhu shi ji yan fang 朱氏集驗方, “Collected Efficacious Recipes of Mr. Zhu,” (→ Ji yan fang 集驗方 ), he once passed on a recipe with red beans to cure → Ren Chengliang 任承亮 of a malign sore. LSZ takes over this story in SE chi xiao dou 赤小豆 but erroneously writes his name Fu Yong 傅永 [1].

DC c. da guan 大觀 reign period (1107-1110). 1 juan. In his preface, Li Shisheng states that he obtained a Chan lun 產論, “Discourses on Childbearing,” in 21 chapters without recipes. Guo Jizhong then added his family recipes to the end of each discourse, therefore the recipes in the present text are all Guo’s. LSZ quotes the recipes second hand from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方. He cites a Fu ren fang [2] by Guo Jizhong in his bibliographical sections and the main text, and judging by the recipe quoted this must be the Chan yu bao qing ji. He also refers to the text as Bao qing ji 保慶集, “Collection for Protecting Good Fortune,” [2], as Guo Jizhong fang 郭 稽中方, “Recipes of Guo Jizhong,” [1], or simply using the author’s name, Guo Jizhong [1].

The text attempts to summarize pre-Song gynecological knowledge and was divided into 8 sections on various topics, such as regulation of menses (tiao jing 調經), fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, and post-partum issues. Each chapter discusses various disease signs and their treatment. Altogether the text cointains 266 discourses (lun 論), 1118 recipes, and 48 case studies. LSZ cites the book as Fu ren liang fang [64], as Liang fang 良方, “Good Recipes,” [1], as Da quan fang 大全方, “Recipes from the Great Compendium,” [1], → Da quan liang fang 大全良方 [2], or by the author’s name alone as Chen Ziming [6].

He does cite a Fu rui zhi 符瑞志, “Record of Auspicious Omens,” there, but that material is actually from a chapter called Fu rui zhi in the → Song shu 宋書 of → Shen Yue 沈約.

Many recipes are not found in other sources, and the text contains a great deal of detailed information on processing methods. LSZ cites the book as Fu shou jing fang [10] and as Fu shou fang 扶壽方, “Recipes for Supporting Long Life,” [8]. Fu shun wang 富順王, “Prince of Fu shun” (1514-1576) [1] This is Zhu Houkun 朱厚焜, prince of the Ming 明 vassal state of Fu shun 富 順.

It describes areas of production. LSZ thought highly of the work because of the many details it conveys but he knew it only from an abridged version in the Shuo fu, reproduced from an earlier source.

LSZ cites this text and also, without reference to the author, his → Bian hua lun 變化論. Gan jia 甘家, “Expert Gan”, “Gan Family” [1] Wei 魏 to Jin 晉 period physician. Personal name unknown. In his → Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘後備急方, → Ge Hong 葛洪 states that Zhou 周, Gan 甘, Tang 唐, and Ruan 阮 each compiled a book on recipes for emergencies. This suggests that Gan jia may have compiled a text called Bei ji fang 備急方, “Recipes for Emergencies,” fragments of which were preserved in the Zhou hou bei ji fang. LSZ cites a fragment second hand in SE huang fan 黃礬.
[1] Tang 唐 experts in pharmaceutical therapy. The → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾 遺 contains a “white medicinal preparation of the Gan family” (Gan jia bai yao 甘家白藥) named after the people who designed it. LSZ cites this in SE bai yao zi 白藥子. Gan quan fu 甘泉賦, “rhapsody on Sweet Spring Water” [2] Western Han 漢 fu 賦 written by → Yang Xiong 揚雄. The work is quoted in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, and other sources, but it remains uncertain where LSZ took his version from. Gan Shoucheng 甘守誠 [2] Tang 唐 dynasty military official, a Valiant Cavalry General of the Right (you xiao qi jiang jun 右驍騎將軍). Fl. during the kai yuan 開元 reign period (713741). Familiar with pharmaceutical substances, he exposed the false and dangerous claims concerning recipes to attain longevity of → Jiang Fu 姜撫. The story is recorded in the Xin Tang shu 新唐書, “New History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書), and LSZ takes it over in his main text. Gan ying lei cong zhi 感應類從志, “records of Interactions, Organized by Categories” Book cited in the Ming 明 period Qi guo kao 七國考, “Investigation of Seven Countries,” of Dong Shuo 董説. Attributed to the court historian → Zhang Hua 張華 of Western Jin 晉. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections as Gan ying lei cong zhi [2] and cites it in the main text as Gan ying zhi 感應志, “Records of Interactions,” [1], as Zhang Hua wu lei zhi 張華物類志, “Zhang Hua’s Categorized Records of Things,” [1], and erroneously as Lei cong xiang gan zhi 類從相感志, “Records of the Mutual Influences, Organized by Categories,” [1]. However, the passages quoted by LSZ correspond with a Gan ying lei cong zhi of the Wu 吳 monk → Zanning 贊寧 preserved in the → Shuo fu 説郛 (→ Wu lei xiang gan zhi 物類相感志). So this Zanning is probably the author of the material quoted by LSZ, who seems to be mistaken in attributing it to Zhang Hua.
142 Gan ying zhi 感應志 → Gan ying lei cong zhi 感應類從志 Gang mu 綱目 → Ben cao gang mu 本草綱目 Gao 杲 → Li Gao 李杲 Gao daomu 高道穆 [1] This is the style name of Gao Gongzhi 高恭之, a Northern Wei 魏 high official. A man of Liao dong 遼東, now Liao yang 遼陽, he has a biography in the → Bei shi 北史. He once advised Er Zhuying 尒朱榮 (493-530) to take advantage of a favorable situation and extinguish his adversary → Yuan Hao 元顥 to avoid “nourishing a [little] hui-snake to become a [big] snake.” LSZ cites this story to emphasize the difference between the fu 蝮 and hui 虺 snakes in SE fu she 蝮蛇. Gao huang 高皇 → Tai zu Gao huang di 太祖高皇帝 Gao Jian 高監 [1] Song 宋 dynasty person, details about his life are unavailable. A recipe of his to end toothache is cited by LSZ in SE tian ming jing 天名精. Gao qiu gong 高丘公, “Lord on the High Mountain” [1] Legendary immortal. According to the Jin 晉 dynasty → Shen xian zhuan 神仙 傳, he ingested peach glue (tao jiao 桃膠) to attain immortality. The → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚 and the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 cite the same story second hand, but LSZ gives the → Lie xian zhuan 列仙傳 as his source in SE tao 桃. Gao shi 高氏, “Mr. Gao” [1] Gao Cheng 高承, Northern Song 宋 author of the → Shi wu ji yuan 事物 紀原. Fl. during the yuan feng 元豐 reign period (1078-1085). A man of Kai feng 開封 in present-day He nan 河南.

[1] This is Gao Shi’er 高十二, a Song 宋 dynasty man of Yue 越 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江. The → Yi shuo 醫説, quoting the → Lei bian 類編, recounts a story about his wife, who suffered from absentmindedness and delirious speech after Mr. Gao passed away. When she spoke, she spoke with the voice of Mr. Gao. She was cured by fumigation with grey atractylodes. From then on, people used the fumes of cang zhu 蒼术 whenever someone was struck by evil. LSZ cites this in SE zhu 术. Gao Shiyu 高師禹 [1] Late Tang 唐 person, a man of Wen jiang 文江 in Ji an 吉安, now Ji shui 吉水 in Jiang xi 江西.

The → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方 lists numerous recipes personally used and transmitted by him. LSZ quotes his “elixir to stabilize the original [qi]” (gu yuan dan 固元丹) in SE zhu 术. In the original text, however, this recipe was called “elixir to stabilize the true [qi]” (gu zhen dan 固真丹). Gao Tanglong 高堂隆 [1] High official of the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period. Style name Shengping 昇平, a man of Ping yang 平陽 in Tai shan 泰山, now Tai an 泰安 in Shan dong 山東.

Gao Wu 高武 Ming 明 dynasty writer and expert in acumoxa therapy, fl. 16th century. Style name Meigu 梅孤, a man of Si ming 四明, now Ning bo 寧波 in Zhe jiang 浙江. Gao was adept in various fields of knowledge such as celestial patterns (tian wen 天文), military strategies, or horsemanship and archery.

LSZ, who cites the Dou zhen zheng zong, refers to Gao as Gao Wu [5] and erroneously as Gao Zhongwu 高仲武 [1]. Gao xiang guo 高相國, “Counselor-in-chief Gao” [1] Song 宋 dynasty high official. The Northern Song → Yu yao yuan fang 御藥院 方 reports that the emperor → Song Zhen zong 宋真宗 presented some “pills with fresh rhinoceros” (sheng xi wan 生犀丸) to one Gao gong xiang guo 高公 相國, “Counselor-in chief, the Honorable Mr. Gao.” LSZ takes this over in SE xiong qiong 芎藭, referring to Gao as Gao xiang guo. However, during the reign of Zhen zong 真宗 (r. 998-1022) no Counselor-in-chief (xiang guo 相國) surnamed Gao 高 is recorded. Gao Xianzhi 高仙芝 (died 756) [1] Tang 唐 dynasty general, a man of Gao ju li 高句麗, the later Koryo. Due to his achievements during a military exploit in the West, he was made Vice-Grand Protector (fu du hu 副都護) of An xi 安西. According to the → Guang yi ji 廣異
144 記, he obtained a valuable pharmaceutical drug called he li le 訶黎勒 while in the state of Da shi 大食 (in the Arabic West). Gao yangsheng 高陽生 [2] Southern Song 宋 person. → Chen Yan 陳言, in his → San yin fang 三因方, identified him as having lived during the Six Dynasties and being the true author of the → Mai jue 脈訣 of → Wang Shuhe 王叔和.

A man of Zhuo xian 涿縣 in Zhuo jun 涿郡, now part of He bei 河北. He held various local and regional offices in different parts of the country and was the author of an annotated edition of the → Huai nan zi 淮 南子 and other books. LSZ lists this as → Huai nan zi hong lie jie 淮南子鴻烈 解 in his bibliographical sections and frequently quotes Gao’s annotations to the Huai nan zi in his main text, even following quotations from another commentary, the → Huai nan wan bi shu 淮南萬畢術. He also cites Gao’s annotations to the → Lü shi chun qiu 呂氏春秋. Gao You zhu Huai nan zi 高誘注淮南子 → Huai nan zi hong lie jie 淮南子鴻烈解 Gao Zhan 高展 Northern Song 宋 or pre-Song official. Details about his life are unavailable. The → Fang zhen bian nian lu 方鎮編年錄 records how he obtained the longevity drug di zhi 地脂 by chance. LSZ takes this story over in SE di sui 石髓, referring to Gao as Gao Zhan [1] and as Zhan 展 [1]. Gao Zhongwu 高仲武 → Gao Wu 高武 Gao zong 高宗 [7] Ambiguous reference that may refer to one of two emperors: → Tang Gao zong 唐高宗
→ Song Gao zong 宋高宗 Gao zu 高祖 → Han Gao zu 漢高祖 Ge Bing 革炳 → Dong Bing 董炳 Ge cha pan 葛察判, “Judge Ge” [1] Southern Song 宋 official. Personal name unknown.

He held court offices and was the author of the → Yun yu yang qiu 韻語陽秋, a Gui yu ji 歸愚集, “Returning to Simplicity
145 Collection,” and other books. LSZ refers to him as Ge Changzhi [1] and Ge shi 葛氏,“Mr. Ge,” [1]. Ge gu lun 格古論, “discourses on the Investigation of ancient Things” [15] This is LSZ’s abbreviation for the Ge gu yao lun 格古要論, “Essential Discourses on the Investigation of Ancient Things,” of → Cao Zhao 曹昭 as well as the revised and expanded version of the same work by → Wang Zuo 王佐. FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming,” for the original Ge gu yao lun. DC 1388. 3 juan. This book discusses such things as bronzes, books, painting and writing, stele samples of calligraphy, the qin 琴, inkstones, rare things, metals, pottery, lacquerware, fine silk, or special types of wood and stone. In 1459, Wang Zuo supplemented many chapters of the book and reorganized their sequence. This new version was called Xin zeng ge gu yao lun 新增格古要論, “Newly Expanded Essential Discourses on the Investigation of Ancient Things,” or Ge gu yao lun bu 格古要論補, “Supplements to the Essential Discourses on the Investigation of Ancient Things,” 13 juan in all. The Wang version circulated more widely than the original, and this is the book LSZ lists as Ge gu lun by Wang Zuo in his bibliographical sections. LSZ frequently cites this book in the main text, but there he also occasionally refers the Ge gu lun to Cao Zhao. Ge Hong 葛洪 (284-364) Jin 晉 dynasty Daoist and medical scholar. Style name Zhichuan 稚川, literary name Baopu zi 抱朴子, “The Master Embracing Simplicity.” A man of Ju rong 句容 in Dan yang 丹陽, now part of Jiang su 江蘇. Well accomplished in Daoist lore, Ge was equally knowledgeable in other areas like literature and medicine. He wrote the → Baopu zi 抱朴子 , which discusses Daoist topics like immortals, alchemy, and life-extension techniques. LSZ quotes this work frequently but apparently did not believe everything he read there about Daoist immortals. Works quoted include the → Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘後備急方 and the → Shen xian zhuan 神仙傳. LSZ also attributes the → Zhou hou bai yi fang 肘後百一 方, the → Xia guan fu 遐觀賦, and the → Xi jing za ji 西京雜記 to Ge and cites from these works a great deal. He refers to Ge as Ge Hong [88] and as Ge shi 葛氏, “Mr. Ge,” [8]. Ge Hong fang 葛洪方 → Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘後備急方 Ge Jingguan fang 葛靜觀方 → Xiao Jingguan fang 蕭靜觀方 Ge Kejiu 葛可久 (1305-53) [6] This is the style name of Ge Qiansun 葛乾孫, a Yuan 元 dynasty physician and writer. A man of Ping jiang lu 平江路, now part of Wu xian 吳縣 in Jiang su 江蘇. Ge came from a family of hereditary physicians and wrote a number of books. He is attributed but probably did not write the → Shi yao shen shu 十藥 神書. Ge Kejiu fang 葛可久方 → Shi yao shen shu 十藥神書
146 Ge kuo 歌括, “Versified directions” [1] Texts on pharmaceutical substances composed in rhymes for easy memorization by physicians at the beginning of their studies. LSZ mentions such texts by → Liu Chun 劉純, → Xiong Zongli 熊宗立, and → Fu Zi 傅滋 in the → Ben cao ge kuo 本草歌括 entry in his bibliography but apparently does not cite from them. Ge shi 葛氏,“Mr. Ge” [8] → Ge Hong 葛洪, author of the → Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘後備急方 and other books
[1] In connection with the → Yun yu yang qiu 韻語陽秋, this is → Ge Changzhi 葛常之. Ge shi fang 葛氏方 → Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘後備急方 Ge wu lun 格物論, “discourse on the Investigation of Things” [3] Title of a book. LSZ does not list it in his bibliographical sections but cites it in the main text. These passages were not taken from the Ge wu lun as quoted in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 but from the Gu jin he bi shi lei bei yao 古今合 璧事類備要, “Essentials of Categorized Matters Like Joint Jade Circles, Quoted from Old and New Literature,” (→ Gu jin shi lei he bi 古今事類合璧) of Xie Weixin 謝維新. Xie occasionally labeled the entries in his book Ge wu zong lun 格物總論, “General Discourse on the Investigation of Things.” LSZ’s Ge wu lun quotations in SE hu 虎 and SE wu 鹜 are based on Ge wu zong lun material in juan 77, hu 虎, and juan 85, wu 鴨, of Xie’s book, while the Ge wu lun material in SE pi shi 癖石 originates from juan 6, shi 石, where it is labeled Wu li lun 物理 論, “Discourse on the Principles of Things.” Ge zhi yu lun 格致餘論, “Extra discourses on Extending Knowledge by Investigation of Things” [2] Theoretical medical work. FE Guo shi jing ji zhi 國史經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatises of the Dynastic Histories.” Written by → Zhu Zhenheng 朱震亨. DC 1347. 1 juan. The text applies the Neo-Confucian principle of “extending knowledge by investigation of things” (ge wu zhi zhi 格物致知) in the field of medicine. It elucidates Zhu’s belief in yang excess and yin depletion and discusses various illnesses, treatment methods, the use of pharmaceutics, and practices to nurture life (yang sheng 養生). LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not mention the name directly in the main text. However, some discussions there are clearly based on it. Ge Zhichuan 葛稚川 → Ge Hong 葛洪 Geng ji bian 庚己編, “Compilation from the years Geng [wu] to Ji [mao]” [2] Ming 明 dynasty collection of fiction. FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” Written by Lu Can 陸粲. DC 1519. 10 juan. The book focuses on things seen and heard during the years 1510 to 1519, touching upon legal cases, calamities, etc. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text but mistakenly attributes the work to → Yao Fu 姚福.
147 The real author Lu Can was a Ming dynasty official and writer. Style name Ziyu 子餘, also Junming 浚明, a man of Chang zhou 長洲 in Wu jun 吳郡, now Su zhou 蘇州. He passed the jin shi examinations in 1526 and held a court appointment. Lu was the author of a Lu Ziyu ji 陸子餘集, “Collection of Lu Ziyu,” as well as the Geng ji bian. Geng Mengde 耿夢得 [1] Southern Song 宋 military official, served in Yin xian 鄞縣, now Ning bo 寧波 in Zhe jiang 浙江. The cure of Geng’s wife from “stone dripping” (shi lin 石淋) was personally witnessed by → Xu Shuwei 許叔微 (1079- c. 1154). LSZ relates this story in SE hu zhang 虎杖. Geng Wei 耿湋 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty poet. He passed the jin shi examinations in 763 and held a court office. Geng was famous for his poetry and was considered one of the major talents of his time. LSZ cites two lines from one of Geng’s poems second hand. The poem, which deals with a mistake made by an elderly doctor, is found in the Tang bai jia shi xuan 唐百家詩選, “Selection of Poetry from the 100 Traditions of the Tang dynasty,” and in the → Shi wen lei ju 事文類聚. Geng xin yu ce 庚辛玉冊, “Jade Volume from the years Geng to Xin” Lost Daoist alchemical text. FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” Written by Zhu Quan 朱權, the Ming 明 dynasty prince → Ning Xian wang 寧獻王. DC c. 1426-1435. 8 juan. According to the BCGM, which preserves a number of fragments, the book was based upon a number of early alchemical texts. It details metals, stones, and substances of plant or animal origin, as well as cooking utensils used for alchemical pill preparation. LSZ cites the text as Geng xin yu ce [25] and Yu ce 玉冊, “Jade Volume,” [8]. Gong 恭 → Su Gong 蘇恭 Gong qi fang 宮氣方 → Xiao er gong qi fang 小兒宮氣方 Gong shi 龔氏, “Mr. Gong” [2] In connection with the abbreviation → Yi jian 醫鑒, this may refer to Gong Tingxian 龔廷賢 (→ Gong Yunlin 龔雲林) or his father, authors of the Gu jin yi jian 古今醫鑒, “Mirror of Old and New Medicine.”
[8] → Gong shi fang 龔氏方, → Gong shi jing yan fang 龔氏經驗方, → Gong shi yi jian fang 龔氏易簡方 Gong shi fang 龔氏方, “recipes of Mr. Gong” [1] Abbreviation for a Ming 明 dynasty recipe book of uncertain provenance. LSZ quotes three books by a Gong shi 龔氏, “Mr. Gong,” the → Gong shi jing yan fang 龔氏經驗方, the → Gong shi yi jian fang 龔氏易簡方, and the → Gu jin yi jian 古今醫鑒. The material quoted by LSZ is not found in the latter source, and the other two are lost, so the title Gong shi fang could refer to either one of them or even to another book.
148 Gong shi jing yan fang 龔氏經驗方, “Tried and Proven recipes of Mr. Gong” [5] Ming 明 dynasty recipe book. See bibliography of the BCGM. Attributed to an unidentifiable Gong shi 龔氏, “Mr. Gong.” Further details are unavailable, and the book is apparently lost. LSZ lists the title twice in his bibliography (one entry may or may not be an error for the → Gong shi yi jian fang 龔氏易簡方) and cites it in the main text. A → Gong shi fang 龔氏方, also cited by LSZ, is of uncertain relationship. Gong shi yi jian 龔氏醫鑒 → Yi jian 醫鑒 Gong shi yi jian 龔氏易簡 → Gong shi yi jian fang 龔氏易簡方 Gong shi yi jian fang 龔氏易簡方, “Simple recipes by Mr. Gong” Ming 明 dynasty recipe book. EE BCGM. Attributed to an unidentifiable Gong shi 龔氏, “Mr. Gong.” Further details are unavailable, and the book is apparently lost. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections (even though he may erroneously be referring to it as → Gong shi jing yan fang 龔氏經驗方 there) but quotes recipes in the main text as Gong shi yi jian fang [1] and as Gong shi yi jian 龔氏易簡, “Simple [Recipes] by Mr. Gong,” [1]. A → Gong shi fang 龔氏方, also cited by LSZ, is of uncertain relationship. Gong Tai 宮泰 [1] Famous Jin 晉 dynasty physician. He apparently was good at diagnostics and at treating conditions of rising qi, e.g., in respiratory diseases. LSZ takes over his name from another source. Gong yande 龔彥德 [1] Southern Song 宋 person. Details about his life are unavailable. The → Fu ren liang fang 婦人良方 of 1237 records one of his recipes, and LSZ takes this over in SE wu yao 烏藥. Gong yunlin 龔雲林 This is the literary name of Gong Tingxian 龔廷賢, a Ming 明 dynasty physician, fl. late 16th century. Style name Zicai 子才, a man of Jin xi 金溪, now part of Jiang xi 江西. Son of Gong Xin 龔信 (style name Ruizhi 瑞芝), who held a post at the Imperial Academy of Medicine (tai yi yuan 太醫院). Gong Tingxian abandoned his career as a scholar in order to follow in his father’s footsteps and work as a doctor. After treating the illness of an imperial concubine he was chosen as a Palace Physician (tai yi 太醫). He wrote extensively, his books include the Shou shi bao yuan 壽世保元, “Promoting Longevity by Guarding the Source,” and the Wan bing hui chun 萬病回春, “Restoration of Health from the 10000 Diseases.” Since Gong was a contemporary of LSZ, the BCGM only quotes the Gu jin yi jian 古今醫鑒, “Mirror of Old and New Medicine” (→ Yi jian 醫鑒) by Gong Tingxian and his father. LSZ attributes this book to Gong Yunlin [2] and to a Gong shi 龔氏, “Mr. Gong,” [2], a name that might refer to Gong Tingxian or Gong Xin likewise. Gonggong shi 共工氏 [1] Mythological god of water, also called Gonggong 共工. Legend has it that he engaged in a fight with the god of fire, Zhu Rong 祝融. Angered by his defeat,
149 he struck at Bu zhou 不周 mountain so that heaven and earth tilted. According to the → Jing Chu sui shi ji 荊楚歲時記, he was the father of seven untalented sons who after their deaths turned into malicious demons. They can be subdued, though, by ingesting a gruel prepared with red beans. LSZ mentions Gonggong shi in SE chi xiao dou 赤小豆. Gou lou 岣嶁 → Gou lou shen shu 岣嶁神書 Gou lou shen shu 岣嶁神書, “Spirit Book of Gou lou [Mountain]” Apparently lost Ming 明 dynasty book. See bibliography of the BCGM, also Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by → Nan Gongcong 南宮從, sometimes also attributed to one Jiuxia zi 九霞子. 2 juan. Judging from material in LSZ’s citations and the Ming period Wu bian 武編, “Compilation on Warfare,” by Tang Shunzhi 唐順之 (→ Tang Jingchuan ji 唐荊川集), which includes the Gou lou shen shu’s table of contents, the book focused on transformations and mutual interactions between different categories of things and also included some information on medicinals. Each topic was headed by a set of four characters, followed by a detailed exposition of the topic in question, e.g., how to dry mercury with the help of other substances or which plants to use to turn iron into gold. Since only late Ming writers use the book, it can be dated to the Ming dynasty. In addition to citing the book as Gou lou shen shu [17], LSZ also refers to the work as Gou lou shu 岣嶁書, “Book of Gou lou [Mountain],” [1] and Gou lou 岣嶁, “Gou lou [Mountain],” [1]. Gou lou shu 岣嶁書 → Gou lou shen shu 岣嶁神書 Gou qi jing shi 枸杞井詩, “Poem of the Wolfsthornberry Well” [1] Poem by → Liu Yuxi 劉禹錫 (772-842). EE Liu bin ke wen ji 劉賓客文集, “Literary Collection of Liu the Adviser,” (→ Liu Yuxi ji 劉禹錫集). LSZ cites the poem in his main text but does not indicate the source of his quotation. Gou xuan 鉤玄, “Exploring the Profound” [5] Yuan 元 dynasty book. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Xianyu Shu 鮮于樞. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text, including material on stomach distension due to “water gu” (shui gu 水蠱) and its treatment by the famous Hang zhou 杭州 doctor → Song Huizhi 宋會 之. There is no reference to a Gou xuan by Xianyu Shu in any other bibliography, but the Zhe jiang tong zhi 浙江通志, “Zhe jiang Gazetteer,” of the jia jing 嘉靖 reign period (1522-1567) contains similar material, recorded by Xianyu Shu, on Song Huizhi. Thus, it remains to be verified if during Ming 明 times there was a book called Guo xuan by Xianyu Shu. Gu anzhong 顧安中 [1] Northern Song 宋 person, a man of Guang de 廣德 in present-day An hui 安 徽. According to the → Ming yi lu 名醫錄 of ca. 1077, he once suffered from “leg qi” (jiao qi 腳氣) with swollen legs and cramped sinews but was cured by the external application of a preparation of the Chinese quince. LSZ cites this in SE mu gua 木瓜.
150 Gu Boyang 穀伯陽 Song 宋 dynasty Daoist. Literary name Baolin zhenren 寶林真人, “Perfected One of the Forest of Treasures.” Details of his life are unavailable. The → He ji ju fang 和劑局方 lists a recipe of his for an “elixir to nourish the proper [qi]” (yang zheng dan 養正丹), which LSZ takes over in SE ling sha 靈砂, referring to Gu as Gu Boyang [1], the Baolin zhenren [1].

According to the → Jing yan liang fang 經驗良方, he once suffered from “major wind sores” (da feng chuang 大風瘡) but was cured by a recipe given by a Daoist. The recipe is listed in the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, and LSZ takes it over in SE feng xiang zhi 楓香脂. Gu Jie 顧岕 Ming 明 dynasty official, incorrectly written Gu Jie 顧玠 [10] by LSZ. Style name Huitang 匯堂, a man of Wu xian 吳縣, now Su zhou 蘇州 in Jiang su 江 蘇. He held local offices. Between 1522 and 1527, Gu held a post in Dan zhou 儋 州 on Hai nan 海南 island and recorded the things he saw there. Much of this original material was lost, but based on his experiences Gu completed the Hai cha yu lu 海槎餘錄, “Extra Records from the Ocean Raft,” (→ Hai cha lu 海槎 錄) in 1540.

The occasions where LSZ refers to Chu Yushi by name alone can either be quotations from this book or the → Yang sheng bi yong fang 養生必用方.

The book was a collection of earlier poetic remarks and criticism from various texts. It is now lost, but fragments survive in the Shi hua zong gui 詩話總龜, “General Compendium of Poetry Talks,” the → Yu yin cong hua 漁隱叢話, and other books. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not provide the name of the author. The quotations in the main text are taken from the Yu yin cong hua. In one reference to a → Shi hua 詩話 without indication of an author it is uncertain which poetry talks LSZ is referring to. Gu jin shi lei he bi 古今事類合璧, “Joint Jade Circles and Categorized Matters, Quoted from Old and New Literature” Southern Song 宋 encyclopedia. FE Xu tong zhi yi wen lüe 續通志藝文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Sequel to the Comprehensive Treatises.” AN there Gu jin he bi shi lei bei yao 古今合璧事類備要, “Essentials of Categorized Matters Like Joint Jade Circles, Quoted from Old and New Literature.” Written by Xie Weixin 謝維新. DC 1257. Total of 366 juan, 69 in an earlier collection (qian ji 前集), 81 in a later collection (hou ji 候集), 56 in a subsequent collection (xu ji 續集), 94 in a separate collection (bie ji 別集), and 66 in an outer collection (wai ji 外 集). The encyclopedia reveals a broad selection of material but does not include information about landscapes and scenic spots. Such material was found elsewhere, e.g., in the → Fang yu sheng lan 方輿勝覽 of → Zhu Mu 祝穆. The Gu jin shi lei he bi begins each section with factual information, followed by quotations from prose and poetry. There is a great deal of material devoted to anecdotes, governmental institutions, etc. The outer collection consists of information on herbs, trees, flowers, birds and beasts, worms/bugs, etc. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections as Gu jin shi lei he bi [1] and in the main text as Shi lei he bi 事類合璧, “Categorized Matters and Joint Jade Circles” [9]. Material labeled → Ge wu lun 格物論 by LSZ was also taken from this text. The author Xie Weixin is not mentioned by LSZ. Style name Qujiu 去咎, a man of Jian an 建安, the present-day Nan jing 南京, jin shi. In his Gu jin shi lei he bi he sought to summarize material from earlier encyclopedias, pointing out their merits and faults. Gu jin yun hui 古今韻會, “Collection of rhymes Old and New” Late Song 宋 or early Yuan 元 lost book of rhymes. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Huang Gongshao 黃公紹 (erroneously called Huang Gongwu 黃公武 by LSZ). The original version is lost, but a supplemented and annotated version by the Yuan dynasty scholar Xiong Zhongzai 熊忠在 survives, the Gu jin yun hui ju yao 古今韻會舉要, “Summary of the Collection of Rhymes Old and New,” in 30 juan. This supplemented version is occasionally attributed to Huang Gongshao, and it is this book and not the original that LSZ used. He cites the work as Gu jin yun hui [2], as Yun hui 韻會, “Collection of Rhymes” [2], and as Huang shi yun hui 黃氏韻會, “Mr. Huang’s Collection of Rhymes,” [1].
152 Gu jin zhu 古今注, “Notes on Things Old and New” Lost Eastern Han 漢 book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” AN Fu hou gu jin zhu 伏侯古今注, “Notes by Marquis Fu on Things Old and New.” Written by Fu Wuji 伏無忌, also called Marquis Fu (→ Fu hou 伏侯, incorrectly written Fu hou 伏候 in the BCGM). 8 juan. The text focuses on imperial titles of the Eastern Han period, celestial patterns (tian wen 天文), geographical organization, etc. LSZ erroneously cites a Zhong hua gu jin zhu 中華古今注, “Notes on Chinese Things Old and New,” [2] by Marquis Fu in his bibliographical sections and the main text, but the material he is citing second hand goes back to the Five Dynasties → Zhong hua gu jin zhu 中華古今注 of Ma Gao 馬縞. One reference to a Gu jin zhu of Fu hou 伏候 in SE yan zhi 燕脂 is actually taken from the → Gu jin zhu 古今注 . LSZ obviously confused the three books and did not use the Gu jin zhu of Fu Wuji at all.
Western Jin 晉 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Cui Bao 崔豹. 1 juan (AV 3 juan). The text records names and descriptions of things from older texts, including animals, fish, and plants. The book is frequently quoted in the → ZLBC. The original Gu jin zhu was lost early, and Tang editors apparently assembled pre-Wei 魏 material and attributed it to Cui Bao. The received version of the Gu jin zhu can therefore be considered a forgery. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text as Gu jin zhu [45], often in connection with the author’s name. In SE yan zhi 燕脂, he erroneously labels the title with the name of → Fu hou 伏侯 (incorrectly written Fu hou 伏 候). He also cites the book by the name of Cui Bao [7] alone, and one fragment labeled → Su E yan yi 蘇鶚演義 is found in the Gu jin zhu as well. Gu Min 顧閔 [1] Man of the Ming 明 dynasty. In SE zhu shui you du 諸水有毒, LSZ includes one story about him suffering from “bone blockage-illness” (gu bi 骨痹) after crossing a river. Gu she shenren 姑射神人, “The Holy Man of [Mount] Gu she” [1] This is an unnamed character from the → Zhuang zi 莊子 . A Daoist immortal who, according to the legend that LSZ took over, inhaled wind and drank dew. Gu Wei 顧微 [10] Jin 晉 dynasty man, sometimes written Gu Zheng 顧徵. Author of the → Guang zhou ji 廣州記 . Gu Wenjian 顧文薦 Man of the Southern Song 宋 dynasty. The Wan wei shan tang 宛委山堂, “Wan wei Mountain Hall” edition of the → Shuo fu 説郛 includes his Fu xuan za lu 負暄雜錄, “Miscellaneous Records of Sun’s Warmth on Winter Days,” (→ Fu xuan lu 負暄錄). LSZ uses material from these sources, citing Gu’s name as Gu Wenjian [1] and incorrectly as Gu Jian 顧薦 [1]. The Gu su zhi 姑蘇志, “Gu su Gazetteer,” lists a Fu xuan za lu by a man called Gu Feng 顧逢. This gazetteer, compiled and repeatedly revised from Southern Song to Ming 明 times, seems
153 a reliable source, so one may assume that the Gu Wenjian cited by LSZ was actually called Gu Feng. Gu Feng, style name Junji 君際, was a man of Ping jiang 平江 in present-day Su zhou 蘇州. He was a famous scholar between 1234 and 1252. Gu Feng (or Gu Wenjian) was also the author of the Chuan chuang ye hua 船窗夜話, “Night Talks at the Boat Window,” a work that, among other things, related stories about medical substances. Gu yewang 顧野王 (519-581) [2] Southern Liang 梁 and Chen 陳 dynasties scholar specialized in character semantics. Style name Xifeng 希馮, a man of Wu 吳 in Wu jun 吳郡, now part of Jiang su 江蘇. He held various high offices under the Liang and Chen dynasties. On imperial order and after extensively studying the form, structure, and semantics of old and new Chinese characters, he compiled the → Yu pian 玉篇 in 30 juan. Gu yuanqing 顧元慶 (1487-1565) [1] Ming 明 dynasty person. Style name Dayou 大有, literary name Dashi shanren 大石山人, “Hermit of Mount Da shi.” A man of Chang zhou 長洲, now Su zhou 蘇州 in Jiang su 江蘇. Gu was a bibliophile with a focus on illustrated books as well as a prolific writer and publisher. His publishing house was named Yi bai tang 夷白堂, “Yi bai Hall.” LSZ cites his → Yan pu ou tan 檐曝偶談 in SE xiao mai 小麥. Gu yue fu 古樂府, “ancient Yue fu” [6] Han 漢, Wei 魏, Jin 晉, and Northern and Southern Dynasties genre of poetry that was apparently collected and written at the Imperial Music Bureau (yue fu 樂府). Yue fu poems quoted in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and elsewhere are of this type.
Yuan 元 dynasty collection of yue fu poetry (→ Gu yue fu 古樂府 ) of preSui 隋 times. Compiled by Zuo Keming 左克名. LSZ neither mentions Zuo’s name nor does he list the collection in his bibliography, so the Gu yue fu material he quotes are second or third hand quotations from books such as the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and the → Er ya yi 爾雅翼. Gu zi 古字, “ancient Writing” Source for the name of a pharmaceutical substance. LSZ refers the alternative name pu tao 蒲桃 to a Gu zi. Explaining this name, he states that it is the → Han shu 漢書 that writes pu tao 蒲桃 instead of pu tao 葡萄 (grapes). Hence, pu tao 蒲桃 originates from the Han shu as an “ancient form of writing” (gu zi 古字), which is not the title of a book. Guai bing qi fang 怪病奇方, “Exceptional recipes for Strange diseases” [3] Abbreviation for different recipe collections. LSZ lists recipes from a Guai bing qi fang by → Li Lou 李樓, a Guai bing qi fang without indication of an author, and a Guai bing qi fang by → Xia Ziyi 夏子益. All three of the cited recipes can be found in the → Guai zheng qi fang 怪證奇方 of Li Lou. The latter, however,
154 is also found in the earlier → Qi ji fang 奇疾方 of Xia Ziyi, the work the Guai zheng qi fang was based on. Guai ji qi fang 怪疾奇方 → Guai zheng qi fang 怪證奇方 Guai zheng fang 怪證方 → Guai zheng qi fang 怪證奇方 Guai zheng fang 怪症方 → Guai zheng qi fang 怪證奇方 Guai zheng qi fang 怪證奇方, “Exceptional recipes for Strange disease Signs” Ming 明 dynasty medical recipe book. FE Wan juan tang shu mu 萬卷堂書目, “Catalogue of the Hall of Ten-thousand Volumes.” AN Guai zheng qi fang 怪症 奇方, “Exceptional Recipes for Strange Symptoms.” Written by → Li Lou 李 樓 (style name Xiaoshan 小山). DC 1544. 2 juan surviving. The text details 49 strange diseases and their appropriate treatment methods. Much of the material in the text comes from the Song 宋 period → Qi ji fang 奇疾方 of → Xia Ziyi 夏子益, so the contents of the two books are quite similar. LSZ cites the book as Guai zheng qi fang 怪證奇方 [8], as Guai zheng qi fang 怪症奇方 [1], as Guai bing qi fang 怪病奇方, “Exceptional Recipes for Strange Diseases,” [2], Guai ji qi fang 怪疾奇方, “Exceptional Recipes for Strange Illnesses,” [1], Guai zheng fang 怪證方, “Recipes for Strange [Disease] Signs,” [4], or Guai zheng fang 怪症方, “Recipes for Strange Symptoms,” [2]. To these abbreviations he often adds the author’s name. In addition to that, he refers to the work as Li Lou fang 李樓方, “Recipes of Li Lou,” [2], Xiao shan qi fang 小山奇方, “Exceptional Recipes of [Li] Xiaoshan,” [1], Li Lou qi fang 李樓奇方, “Exceptional Recipes of Li Lou,” [14], or to the author’s names alone, i.e., to Xiaoshan [1] or Li Lou [2]. Guai zheng qi fang 怪症奇方 → Guai zheng qi fang 怪證奇方 Guai zheng qi ji fang 怪證奇疾方 → Qi ji fang 奇疾方 Guan Botong 管伯同 Southern Song 宋 person. A man of Lin chuan 臨川, now Fu zhou 撫州 in Jiang xi 江西, worked as a tutor in a family school. When the wife of → Cheng Huqing 程虎卿 suffered from a pregnancy syndrome, Guan Botong related to him the views of → Chen Ziming 陳自明, explaining that this was a case of “dryness in the long-term depots” (zang zao 臟燥), and cured the woman by one dose of “red jujube decoction” (da zao tang 大棗湯). The story is recorded in the → Fu ren liang fang 婦人良方, and LSZ takes it over but erroneously renders Guan’s name Guan Bozhou 管伯周 [1] in SE zao 棗. Guan Bozhou 管伯周 → Guang Bo tong 管伯同 Guan Fan 管範 [1] Southern 宋 Song medical official mentioned in a story related in the → Yi shuo 醫説. He apparently spoke to → Wang shu shi 王樞使 about a recipe with pig’s fat and sulfur. LSZ erroneously attributes Wang’s words on the topic to him in SE shi liu huang 石硫黃. Guanyin 觀音 [9] This is the Goddess of Mercy, also called Guanshiyin 觀世音, one of the main Boddhisatvas in Mahayana Buddhism. The name is a translation of the original
155 male Sanskrit name Avalokiteshvara into Chinese. According to the Buddhist canon, she is able to take any physical form, she is boundlessly merciful and rescues from suffering. In Chinese temples and monasteries, as well as in legends and stories Guanyin is often depicted as a female, with her hands holding a bowl with pure water and a willow branch. She is said to reside on the island of Pu tuo shan 普陀山 in Zhe jiang 浙江. Popular religion regards her as a deity that brings children (song zi 送子). LSZ refers to Guanyin in connection with her appearance in dreams, in which she transmits recipes leading to a cure. He also mentions the power of her name to cure diseases, various therapeutic drugs that are named after her, and other issues associated with the goddess. Guanyin zi 關尹子, “Master Guanyin” [1] This is the honorific title of Yin Xi 尹喜, also called Guan Yin 關尹, “Commander of the Pass,” the late Spring and Autumn period gatekeeper who was allegedly transmitted the teachings and scriptures by → Lao zi 老子 .
Title of a book. FE Han shu yi wen zhi 漢書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Han.” According to legend, the text was compiled by Yin Xi 尹喜 (→ Guanyin zi 關尹子 ). 9 chapters. The original text ist lost, and a text of that name extent today was compiled during the Southern Song 宋. LSZ cites it in SE ha ma 蛤蟆. Guan yu pian 觀玉篇, “Chapter on Watching Jade” [2] Poetical text by → Chen Zi’ang 陳子昂. AN Guan jing yu pian 觀荊玉篇, “Chapter on Watching Brambles and Jade.” It is from the poet’s collected works, the Chen shi yi ji 陳拾遺集. “Collection of Chen’s Supplementary Amplifications.” In 686, Chen accompanied the army north and during the campaign consumed a great deal of his favorite wolfberry (gou qi 枸杞), sharing it with a fellow official. His poem grew out of this encounter and the latter’s failure to appreciate the berries. The text is quoted twice in the → ZLBC, from which LSZ takes his quotations in the main text of the BCGM. Guan zi 管子, “Master Guan” Collection of philosophical texts. FE Han shu yi wen zhi 漢書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Han.” Traditionally attributed to Guan Zhong 管仲 (died c. 645 BCE), but probably written by scholars of the Ji xia 稷 下 academy in the state of Qi 齊. Edited by → Liu Xiang 劉向. DC Warring States period, but the text includes material from as late as Han 漢 times. 24 juan, 86 chapters in the original. Now only 76 chapters survive, with the material arranged under 8 headings. The contents are rather jumbled and include thought of different philosophical schools like Legalists, Daoists, or Dialecticians, as well as material on celestial patterns (tian wen 天文), calendrical science, geography, economics, and farming science. Also featured is cosmology. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text as Guan zi [17]. In the main text he draws material on the characteristics of minerals and the nomenclature and production of other medicinals, in one instance citing the relevant chapter of the Guan zi as Wu xing pian 五行篇, “Chapter on the Five Phases,” [1].
156 Guang gu jin wu xing ji 廣古今五行記, “Expanded Old and New records of the Five Phases” Early Tang 唐 dynasty book. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by Dou Weiwu 竇 維鋈. 30 juan. The original text is lost, but fragments are preserved in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記, and other books. LSZ cites one fragment second hand, erroneously abbreviating the title to Wu xing ji 五行記, “Records of the Five Phases,” [1]. There is in fact a Wu xing ji written by the Sui 隋 author Xiao Ji 蕭吉, but that is not the text LSZ is quoting in SE yi 蟻. Guang ji 廣記 → Shi lin guang ji 事林廣記 Guang ji 廣濟, “Extensive assistance” Abbreviation for the → Kai yuan guang ji fang 開元廣濟方. Note that Guang ji is also an ancient geographical name, for further information see Vol. 2 of this dictionary on geographical designations and administrative structures. Guang ji fang 廣濟方 → Kai yuan guang ji fang 開元廣濟方 Guang ji li 廣濟歷, “Experiences for Extensive assistance” [1] Text cited in the Si bi 四筆, “Four Writing Brushes,” section of the → Rongzhai sui bi 容齋隨筆, from which LSZ takes his citation. Guang li 廣利 → Zhen yuan guang li fang 貞元廣利方 Guang li fang 廣利方 → Zhen yuan guang li fang 貞元廣利方 Guang nan fang 廣南方 → Ling nan fang 嶺南方 Guang wu xing ji 廣五行記, “Expanded records of the Five Phases” [3] Lost, anonymous book. See bibliography of the BCGM. The text records an event taking place in 692 during the time of the Tang 唐 empress Wu Zetian 武 則天 (→ Wu hou 武候), therefore its date of compilation can be estimated to the period between that time and the Five Dynasties. The → Tai ping yu lan 太 平御覽, the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記, and other books preserve fragments of the text, and one fragment is also quoted in the → ZLBC. LSZ lists the title in his bibliographical sections and in the main text cites the ZLBC material as well as a fragment on ren shen 人參 from the Tai ping yu lan. Guang ya 廣雅, “Expanded Examples of refined usage” [64] Three Kingdoms period lexicographical text. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Zhang Yi 張 揖. Originally 3 juan, later reorganized into 10 juan. The book uses the → Er ya 爾雅 as a basis for its material and organization, thus the name. It also draws widely upon earlier Han 漢 dynasty dictionaries like the → Shuo wen jie zi 説文 解字 or the → Fang yan 方言. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections and frequently cites it in the main text.
157 Guang yi ji 廣異記, “Expanded records of Extraordinary Things” [2] Lost late Tang 唐 dynasty book. FE → Wen yuan ying hua 文苑英華. Written by Dai Junfu 戴君孚. 20 juan. The Wen yuan ying hua and other books preserve a preface from the work, written by Gu Kuang 顧況. Fragments are also quoted by numerous books from late Tang through early Song 宋 times. Chapters are found in the → Shuo fu 説郛, and a section is quoted in the → ZLBC, which appears to have been taken from the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記. LSZ lists the Guang yi ji in his bibliographical sections and quotes material second hand from the ZLBC in the main text. However, in his bibliographical sections he makes → Yue Shi 樂史 (930-1007) the author, who actually wrote a Guang zhuo yi ji 廣卓異記, “Expanded Records on Outstanding and Extraordinary Things,” and not a Guang yi ji. Yue Shi also lived too late (he passed the jin shi examinations in 980 and wrote his books later in life) to have been the author of the Guang yi ji, which is already quoted in the Tai ping guang ji of 978 and in earlier sources. Guang yun 廣韻, “Expanded Book of rhymes” [5] Song 宋 dynasty dictionary, arranged in rhymes. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝 文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” AN Da Song chong xiu guang yun 大宋重修廣韻, “Expanded Book of Rhymes, Repeatedly Revised under the Great Song.” Written by → Chen Pengnian 陳彭年 and others at imperial orders as a revision of earlier material. 5 juan. Originally, this was to be a revision of the Sui 隋 dynasty → Qie yun 切韻 of Lu Fayan 陸法言 and the → Tang yun 唐韻 of → Sun Mian 孫愐. The text increased the number of characters covered, the annotations, and the number of divisions, including more than 26,000 characters in all. The result was one of the most important works of Chinese historical phonology. The book is cited in the main text but not in the bibliographical sections of the BCGM. LSZ erroneously assigns the work to Sun Mian, whose preface to the Tang yun preceeds the text of the Guang yun even though he was not the author of the work. Guang zhi 廣志, “records of the Guang area” [60] Lost Jin 晉 dynasty geographical text. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文 志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Guo Yigong 郭義恭. 2 juan. This is the earliest specialized geography of the Ling nan 嶺南 area. Fragments are found in the → Shui jing zhu 水經注, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → ZLBC, and other works. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections and frequently cites it second hand in the main text. Guang zhou ji 廣州記, “records of Guang zhou” Name of two lost books. EE → Shui jing zhu 水經注, → Qi min yao shu 齊民 要術, etc. [10] Jin 晉 dynasty, written by → Pei Yuan 裴淵.
[9] Jin dynasty, written by → Gu Wei 顧微 (AV Gu Zheng 顧徵, Gu Weizhi 顧微之). Both books describe geography, scenery, local products, etc., of the area that is now Guang dong 廣東 and Guang xi 廣西, as they existed during Jin times.
158 They are quoted in texts from the Northern Wei 魏 on, so it is difficult to determine their date of compilation. However, it is clear from the quotations in the Qi min yao shu that the two books were not alike. Numerous fragments are preserved in the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚 and the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御 覽. Quoting from a Guang zhou ji, later books give no indication of the author. While the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 and the → Hai yao ben cao 海藥本草 of → Li Xun 李珣 frequently quote a Guang zhou ji, they occasionally refer to Gu Wei but never mention Pei Yuan’s name. LSZ cites both books in his bibliographical sections and in the main text, sometimes assigning fragments to one of the authors, sometimes not. However, Guang zhou ji material from the Ben cao shi yi is mostly assigned to Pei Yuan by LSZ. It becomes apparent that historical sources quoting a Guang zhou ji got mixed up about the original source and authorship. For example, the → Shuo fu 説郛 refers to the Gu Wei Guang zhou ji but has earlier Qi min yao shu material assigned to Pei Yuan mixed in. It can thus be assumed that by the time of the compilation of the BCGM, the confusion about the two books was even greater. LSZ cites his material from various sources, referring to the Guang zhou ji [28] or, incorrectly, to the Guang zhou zhi 廣州志, “Guang zhou Gazetter,” [7]. Guang zhou yi wu zhi 廣州異物志, “records of Extraordinaty Things from Guang zhou” [1] Title of a book quoted in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. Date and author unknown. LSZ does not list the title in his bibliographical sections but cites a fragment second hand in SE feng li 風狸 from the Tai ping yu lan’s feng mu 風 母 entry. However, the same material is referred to the → Nan zhou yi wu zhi 南 州異物志 there. Guang zhou zhi 廣州志 → Guang zhou ji 廣州記 Gui ce zhuan 龜策傳 → Shi ji 史記 Gui deng 歸登 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official, the Minister of Public Works (gong bu shang shu 工部 尚書). Fl. 8th to 9th centuries. → Han Yu 韓愈 states that he ingested mercury, and LSZ takes this over in SE shui yin 水銀. Gui fu 桂父, “Cinnamon Father” [1] Divine immortal of ancient times. According to the → Lie xian zhuan 列仙傳, he was from Xiang lin 象林 in present-day Vietnam, near Da Nang 峴港. He is said to have regularly ingested cinnamon and mallow blended with turtle brain. LSZ cites this in SE jun gui 箘桂. Gui ge shi yi 閨閣事宜, “arrangements for the Ladies’ Chambers” [6] Yuan 元 dynasty text. See bibliography of the BCGM. There is no information available on the author, but there is not much doubt about the time of the text’s composition. It forms part of the geng 庚 collection of the anonymous → Ju jia bi yong 居家必用. LSZ makes it a separate book and takes information on medicinals from it.
159 Gui hai yu heng zhi 桂海虞衡志, “Treatise of the Supervisor and Guardian of the Cinnamon Sea” Southern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by → Fan Chengda 范成大. DC 1175. 3 juan (1 juan surviving). The collection is one of the era’s most important of its kind for investigating the Chinese south. It focuses on a trip from the Guang nan 廣南 region into Si chuan 四川 and the places, people, utensils, wildlife, botany, geology, etc., encountered on the way. These issues are discussed under 13 headings, each preceded by its own small introduction. LSZ cites the work as Gui hai yu heng zhi [1] in his bibliographical sections and in the main text as Yu heng zhi 虞衡志, “Treatise of the Supervisor and Guardian,” [17], as Gui hai zhi 桂海志, “Treatise of the Cinnamon Sea,” [20], usually labeling these titles with one of the names of the author. He also uses the name Fan Chengda [2] alone to refer to material from this book. Gui hai zhi 桂海志 → Gui hai yu heng zhi 桂海虞衡志 Gui jing 龜經, “Tortoise Classic” [1] Possibly the name of a Jin 晉 dynasty book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by Shi Su 史蘇. 1 juan. This is a book on ancient tortoise shell divination, one of many available in early times, of which very few have survived. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not name an author. Since he does not cite any material in the main text, it remains uncertain if he is referring to the Gui jing of Shi Su or some other book of the same name. Gui tian lu 歸田錄, “Notes Taken after returning to the Fields” [3] A Northern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” Written by → Ouyang Xiu 歐陽修. DC zhi ping 治平 reign period (10641067). 2 juan, 115 paragraphs. The work is devoted to traditional anecdotes Ouyang Xiu heard and saw in court and commonality after his retirement. The Gui tian lu was included in Ouyang’s literary collection, the Ouyang Wenzhong gong wen ji 歐陽文忠公文集, “Literary Collection of Ouyang the Literary and Loyal Lord,” (→ Ouyang gong wen ji 歐陽公文集), but also circulated separately. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Gui xin za zhi 癸辛雜識, “Miscellaneous Memories from Gui xin” Southern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Xu tong zhi yi wen lüe 續通志藝文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Sequel to the Comprehensive Treatises.” Written by → Zhou Mi 周密. 6 juan. The book was compiled on Gui xin street in Hang zhou 杭州, thus its name. The book is similar to Zhou’s → Qi dong ye yu 齊東野語 but contains more anecdotes and miscellaneous information and less documentary fact. LSZ cites the work erroneously as Gui xin za zhi 癸辛雜志, “Miscellaneous Records from Gui xin,” [2] in his bibliographical sections and the main text.
160 Gui yi fang 鬼遺方 → Liu Juanzi gui yi fang 劉涓子鬼遺方 Guifang 鬼方 [1] Name of an ancient tribe. Also called Guifang shi 鬼方氏, “the ones from the devil’s region.” During Yin 殷 and Zhou 周 times they lived at the northern borders of modern Shaan xi 陝西 and Shan xi 山西. According to the → Shi ji 史 記 a man called Lu Zhong 陸終 (→ Lu Zhongshi 陸終氏) married a woman of the Guifang tribe. LSZ takes this story over in SE ren gui 人傀. Guigu zi 鬼谷子, “Master of the Valley of Ghosts” [1] Title of a book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Attributed to a Spring and Autumn Period philosopher called Gui gu zi, but the text is generally considered a forgery of later times, possibly Warring States to Han 漢, recent findings even date it to the Northern and Southern Dynasties. 3 juan. The book’s contents focus on strategic planning such as military strategies, forming political coalitions, or the art of conversation and speech. An annotated edition by → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 is extant today, but the wording of the fragment LSZ cites in SE zhi dang 螲蟷 suggests that he took his material from the → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎. Gun 鯀 [4] Ancient tribal chieftain, father of Yu 禹 the Great (→ Da Yu 大禹). He received orders by the legendary emperor → Yao 堯 to prevent floods by building dykes. When further flood damage occurred, he was put to death by Shun 舜 on Yu 羽 mountain. According to the → Zuo zhuan 左傳, he was transformed into a spirit-god, a “Yellow Bear” (huang xiong 黃熊). Guo Jingchun 郭景純 → Guo Pu 郭璞 Guo Jizhong 郭稽中 Northern Song 宋 physician and medical writer, fl. 12th century. Guo was a medical teacher and had a reputation for being a good doctor with particular abilities in gynecology. He added recipes to a short theoretical text by Li Shisheng 李 師聖 called Chan lun 產論, “Discourse on Childbearing,” to produce the Fu ren chan yu bao qing ji 婦人產育保慶集, “Collection Protecting Good Fortune of Women Bearing and Bringing Up Children,” (→ Fu ren fang 婦人方 ). Guo, not Li, is considered the author of this text by LSZ. Guo Jizhong fang 郭稽中方 → Fu ren fang 婦人方 Guo Pu 郭璞 (276-324) Eastern Jin 晉 literatus with special interests in lexicography, semantics, and yin yang divination. Style name Jingchun 景純, a man of Wen xi 聞喜 in He dong 河東, now part of Shan xi 山西. He was the author of an → Er ya zhu 爾雅注 , a major compendium for studies on the → Er ya 爾雅, a Shan hai jing zhu 山海經注, “Annotations to the Shan hai jing,” (→ Shan hai jing 山海經) and an annotated edition of the → Fang yan 方言, the Fang yan zhu 方言注, “Annotations to the Fang yan.” In addition to the Er ya zhu, LSZ also quotes a → Hai fu 海賦 by Guo – probably an erroneous name for Jiang fu 江賦, “Rhapsody on the Yang zi River.” Guo is sometimes also attributed the → Shui jing 水經, its anno-
161 tations, or the → Xuan zhong ji 玄中記. LSZ refers to him as Guo Pu [180], as Guo Jingchun 郭景純 [1], and as Guo shi 郭氏, “Mr. Guo,” [1]. Guo Pu fu 郭璞賦 → Hai fu 海賦 Guo Pu zhu 郭璞注, “Guo Pu’s annotations” Without any other title added, these are annotations of → Guo Pu 郭璞 to the following texts: [14] → Shan hai jing 山海經

The book records Tang 唐 history, from the origins of the dynasty until 824 and describes the social customs of the time, the activities of literary people, government offices, the examination system, etc. The intention was “to record facts, explore the nature of things, differentiate doubts, give admonitions, collect local customs and help enjoyment.” This pattern was imitated by bi ji literature from later periods. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text. He also occasionally refers to a → Tang shi 唐史, a general term for several texts covering the Tang dynasty, which may include the Guo shi bu as well. Guo shi jun 郭使君, “Commissioner Guo” [1] Legendary person.

Guo Xiang 郭象 (died 312) [1] Western Jin 晉 philosopher. Style name Zixuan 子玄. He was a man of Luo yang 洛陽 and held various court appointments. Interested in Daoist philosophy and “pure conversations” (qing tan 清談) in particular, Guo expanded the → Zhuang zi 莊子 commentary of Xiang Xiu 向秀 and also wrote one of the most important annotated editions of the Zhuang zi, the Zhuang zi zhu 莊子注, “Annotations to the Zhuang zi.” LSZ lists his annotated edition of the Zhuang zi in his bibliography and, without mentioning Guo’s name again, uses this book as a source for his Zhuang zi quotations in the main text. Guo yi 郭醫, “dr. Guo” [1] Southern Song 宋 medical expert. Personal name unknown. A man of Lu zhou 廬州, now He fei 合肥 in An hui 安徽. According to the → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方, he used an external application of bai zhi 白芷 and zhu sha 朱砂 for the treatment of toothache. The → Yi lin ji yao 醫林集要 cites only the recipe without mentioning Guo’s name. LSZ, in comparison, does refer to Guo in SE bai zhi 白芷, but erroneously regards the Yin lin ji yao as the original source of the recipe. Guo yigong 郭義恭 Man of the Jin 晉 dynasty, no further details about his life available. He wrote the geographical text → Guang zhi 廣志, fragments of which are frequently cited by LSZ.

Attributed to Zuo Qiuming 左丘明 (→ Zuo shi 左氏) of the Spring and Autumn Period, but textual research has shown that the book was probably written during Han times. The book provides historical anecdotes from the late Western Zhou and Spring
163 and Autumn periods, centering on the area of Lu 魯 and other important states. Its material is similar to that offered in the → Zuo zhuan 左傳, thus the text is sometimes titled Chun qiu wai zhuan 春秋外傳, “Outer Tradition to the Chun qiu.” LSZ refers to the book as Guo yu [3] and Zuo shi guo yu 左氏國語, “ Mr. Zuo’s Talks from the States,” [1].

The book is a memoir of the author’s service as an official in Dan zhou 儋州 (on Hai nan 海南 island) and his experiences there. It includes information on geography, customs, wildlife, and local products, some of this material relating to medicinals. Hai fu 海賦, “rhapsody on the Sea” [1] Han 漢 or Eastern Jin 晉 dynasty fu 賦. LSZ refers to a Hai fu by → Guo Pu 郭璞, but Guo Pu actually only wrote a Jiang fu 江賦, “Rhapsody on the Yang zi River,” which is cited in the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚. There are various poems called Hai fu, but none of them was composed by Guo Pu. Textual research shows that the citations in the main text of the BCGM labeled Hai fu or Guo Pu fu 郭璞賦, “Rhapsody by Guo Pu,” [4], are all taken from the Jiang fu in the Yi wen lei ju. The poem describes various things related to bodies of water. Hai ke lun 海客論, “discourses of the Seafarer” [1] Daoist book. FE Dao zang 道藏, “Daoist Canon,” (→ Dao zang jing 道藏經).

He cites the book in the bibliographical sections and the main text but does not indicate the author. Hai shang 海上 → Hai shang fang 海上方
164 Hai shang fang 海上方, “recipes from abroad” Various medical recipe books. LSZ often does not indicate an author, labeling his material simply Hai shang fang [28] or Hai shang 海上, “From Abroad,” [8]. In such cases the source of each quotation must be determined individually or remains uncertain. In ten cases Hai shang fang is not the title of a book but a general term for folk recipes, e.g., if LSZ writes: “This is a recipe from abroad” (hai shang fang ye 海 上方也).

FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書 藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Cui Yuanliang 崔元亮. DC 9th century. 10 juan. Extensive fragments are quoted in the → ZLBC, from which LSZ gets his material. LSZ quotes the book as Hai shang ji yan fang [12], as Hai shang fang 海上方, “Recipes from Abroad,” [26], and as Ji yan fang 集驗方, “Collected and Proven Recipes,” [1], labeling the latter two titles with Cui Yuanliang’s name every time. He also refers to the work as Cui Yuanliang fang 崔元亮方, “Recipes of Cui Yuanliang,” [3] or using the author’s name, Cui Yuanliang 崔元亮 [1] and Cui shi 崔氏, “Mr. Cui.” However, there are also other authors surnamed Cui cited in the BCGM, and most → Cui shi 崔氏 references are not specific enough to establish which one is being cited. Occasionally, the text might be referred to as → Hai shang fang 海上方 without indication of an author, but this title also applies to a variety of other texts, so the reference is not clear. Hai shang miao fang 海上妙方, “Miraculous recipes from abroad” [1] Recipe collection. EE BCGM. Further information is lacking. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections but cites one recipe in the main text. This entry may be a slip of the pen for → Hai shang xian fang 海上仙方.
165 Hai shang ming fang 海上名方, “Famous recipes from abroad” [19] Southern Song 宋 medical book. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by Qian Yu 錢竽. DC 1165-1173. 1 juan. The → Pu ji fang 普濟方 preserves 10 fragments, and LSZ quoted from this source but was apparently unaware of the name of the author. The author’s exact life dates and native place are uncertain, but the Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness,” states that he was in charge of Chu zhou 處州 during the qian dao 乾道 reign period (1165-1173). It can therefore be said that Qian Yu was a local official who was active during the second half of the 12th century. Hai shang xian fang 海上仙方, “Immortals’ recipes from abroad” Book of versified medical recipes. FE Bai jia ming shu 百家名書, “Famous Books of the Hundred Traditions.” LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text but provides no indication of the author. At the beginning of the Ming 明 dynasty, a compilation of the Sun zhenren hai shang xian fang 孫真人海上仙方, “Sun the Perfected One’s Immortals’ Recipes from Abroad,” and the Yinju zhu dao fang fu yao xu zhi 隱居助道方服藥須知, “What Must Be Known when Taking the Hermit’s Recipes to Assist the Dao” of Wen Daming 溫大明 (→ Wen Yinju 溫隱居) was published. This collection is known as the Bei ji hai shang fang 備急海上方, “Recipes from Abroad for Emergencies.” After further editing during the late Ming dynasty, this work was divided again into two collections called Hai shang xian fang 海上仙方, the earlier collection (qian ji 前集) consisting of Wen’s book now called Wen Yinju hai shang xian fang 溫 隱居海上仙方, “Wen the Hermit’s Immortals’ Recipes from Abroad,” (→ Wen Yinju hai shang fang 溫隱居海上方) and a later collection (hou ji 後集) of the Sun zhenren hai shang xian fang. Citing the Hai shang xian fang, LSZ distinguishes between the Wen Yinju hai shang fang and a Hai shang xian fang but leaves it unclear if the latter name refers to the Sun zhenren hai shang xian fang or the combined collection from the late Ming dynasty. Apart from quoting the book as Hai shang xian fang [8], LSZ also refers to it as Hai shang fang shi 海上方 詩, “Poem on Recipes from Abroad,” [1], as Hai shang fang jue 海上方訣, “Recipe Instructions from Abroad,” [1], and as Hai shang ge 海上歌, “Song from Abroad,” [1]. Occasionally, the text might be referred to as → Hai shang fang 海上方, but this title also applies to a variety of other texts, so the reference is not clear. One reference to a → Hai shang miao fang 海上妙方 may also be to this book. Hai tang ji 海棠記, “Crab apple record” Lost Northern Song 宋 book on the Chinese flowering crab apple (hai tang 海 棠). FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” Written by → Shen Li 沈立. DC 1041-1048. 1 juan. The book was the first specialized book devoted to its topic. The preface and essential contents survive in a Southern Song book called → Hai tang pu 海棠譜 by Chen Si 陳思. LSZ, mixing up the titles, cites the Hai tang ji as Hai tang pu [2] by Shen Li in his bibliographical sections and the main text. The Hai tang
166 pu material cited is actually taken from a Hai tang ji fragment preserved in Chen Si’s Hai tang pu. Hai tang pu 海棠譜, “Crab apple Treatise” [2] Southern Song 宋 specialized book on the Chinese flowering crab apple (hai tang 海棠). FE Guo shi jing ji zhi 國史經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatises of the Dynastic Histories.” Written by Chen Si 陳思. DC 1259. 3 juan. The book contains Tang 唐 and Song songs and poetry on the crab apple and and some information on cultivation. It includes the preface and some of the contents of the → Hai tang ji 海棠記 of → Shen Li 沈立. LSZ, mixing up the titles of the books, erroneously refers the Hai tang pu to Shen Li and labels Hai tang ji material Hai tang pu in the main text, so Hai tang pu is actually an incorrect name for the Hai tang ji. The Hai tang pu’s author Chen Si was a man of Lin an 臨安, now Hang zhou 杭 州 in Zhe jiang 浙江. He held various court posts and, apart from his crab apple treatise, compiled the Bao ke cong shu 寶刻叢書, “Precious Block-Printed Book Series,” and other works. Hai yao 海藥, “drugs from abroad” [48] Title that may refer to one of the following two texts: → Hai yao ben cao 海藥本草

Fragments, including an entire part entitled Hai yao yu 海 藥餘, “Extra [Sections] on Drugs from Abroad,” are preserved in the → ZLBC, from which the BCGM takes its material. LSZ praised the work but incorrectly considered the → Nan hai yao pu 南海藥譜 to be identical with the Hai yao ben cao, therefore mixing up the contents of the two texts in the BCGM. Apart from citing the book as Hai yao ben cao [15] or as Hai yao [48], LSZ refers its material to Li Xun 李珣 [115], or simply Xun 珣 [117]. These quotations may contain material from the Nan hai yao pu and vice versa. Hai yu zan 海芋贊 → Jian nan fang wu zan 劍南方物贊 Hai zhong jing 海中經, “Classic within the Ocean” [1] Lost pre-Song 宋 book.

The text is found in Lu’s collection, the Lu Shilong ji 陸士龍集, “Collection of Lu Shilong.” LSZ cites the preface (xiao xu 小序) preceding the poem in SE chan hua 蟬花. Han Cheng di 漢成帝 (51-7 BCE) [1] This is Li Ao 劉鷔, emperor of Western Han 漢, r. 33-7 BCE. LSZ reports an event that took place during his reign in SE bai 柏. Han dai fu 韓大夫, “Grand Master Han” [1] Southern Song 宋 official. Personal name unknown. The → San yin fang 三因 方 lists a recipe for “acorus wine” (yuan zhi jiu 遠志酒), stating that it was used frequently at the residence of Han dai fu to save people’s lives. LSZ cites this in SE yuan zhi 遠志. Han Fei 韓非 [1] Erroneous name for → Han Yu 韓愈. LSZ cites the saying “flies fly around everywhere, and dogs are indifferent [to right or wrong]” (ying ying gou gou 蠅營狗 苟) in SE gou 狗. This is a metaphor for the shameless seeking of personal gain that goes back to Han Yu’s Song qiong wen 送窮文, “Farewell to Poverty,” and not to the Warring States thinker Han Fei. Han Feixia 韓飛霞 → Han Mao 韓 Han Gao di 漢高帝 → Han Gao zu 漢高祖 Han Gao zu 漢高祖 (256 or 247-195 BCE) This is Liu Bang 劉邦, the famous founder and first emperor of the Western Han 漢 dynasty, r. 202-195 BCE. LSZ cites some material on him second hand from the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 and the → Xi jing za ji 西京雜記, referring to the emperor as Han Gao zu [1] or Han Gao di 漢高帝 [1], and elsewhere as Gao zu 高祖 [1] or Han wang 漢王 [1]. Han Guang 韓光 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty person. A man of Yu shan 玉山 in present-day Jiang xi 江西. Specialized in treating “pin-illness with swelling” (ding zhong 疔腫). During the early zhen guan 貞觀 reign period (627-649), he conferred one of his recipes to → Xu shi jun 徐使君. LSZ cites this in SE ai 艾. Han He di 漢和帝 (79-105) This is Liu Zhao 劉肇, emperor of the Eastern Han 漢, r. 88-105. It was during his time that → Cai Lun 蔡倫 invented paper-making. LSZ reports events of his time, referring to the emperor as Han He di [1], He di 和帝 [1], and Dong Han He di 東漢和帝, “Emperor He of Eastern Han,” [1]. Han ju shi 寒具詩, “Poem on deep-Fried Wheat Cakes” [1] Song 宋 dynasty poem by → Su Shi 蘇軾, found in juan 29 of the Dongpo quan ji 東坡全集, “Complete Collection of [Su] Dongpo.” Underneath the title of the poem there is an annotation stating: “This is a deep-fried wheat-twist. From Liu
168 Yuxi’s ‘Beautiful Words’” (nai nian tou, chu Liu Yuxi jia hua 乃捻頭, 出劉禹錫佳 語). This is to say that the term han ju 寒具, and not the whole poem, is taken from the → Liu Yuxi jia hua lu 劉禹錫嘉話錄 (AN Liu Yuxi jia yu 劉禹錫佳語, “Beautiful Words of Liu Yuxi”). LSZ obviously misunderstood this and erroneously attributed the Han ju shi to → Liu Yuxi 劉禹錫. Han Kangbo 韓康伯 [1] This is the style name of Han Bo 韓伯, an Eastern Jin 晉 official and expert in Arcane Learning (xuan xue 玄學). A man of Chang she 長社 in Ying zhou 潁 川, in the west of present-day Chang ge 長葛 in He nan 河南. He served as governor (tai shou 太守) of Yu zhang 豫章 and as Minister of Personnel (li bu shang shu 吏部尚書). During his time in Hai nan 海南, → Yu Yiqi 俞益期 frequently exchanged letters with Han Kangbo that are commonly known as → Yu Han Kangbo jian 與韓康伯箋. LSZ mentions him in SE bing lang 檳榔. Han Mao 韓 Ming 明 dynasty medical specialist and Daoist. Style name Tianjue 天爵. Literary name Feixia zi 飛霞子, “Master of the Flying Red Clouds.” He was popularly known as Bai Feixia 白飛霞, “Bai of the Flying Red Clouds,” and Han Feixia 韓飛霞, “Han of the Flying Red Clouds.” A man of Lu zhou 瀘州, presently in Si chuan 四川. Han was sickly as a child and had to rely on medical treatments to survive. After failing the civil service examinations he studied medicine and after that roamed China as a Daoist to seek knowledge. During that period he changed his name to Bai Zixu 白自虛, “Bai Emptying the Self,” or was called by his popular name Bai Feixia. Han was the author of the → Han shi yi tong 韓 氏醫通, and some other books like the → Fang wai qi fang 方外奇方 are also attributed to him. LSZ refers to him as Han Mao [15], as Han Feixia [4], as Bai Feixia [11], as Feixia zi [1], and within the title of his book as Han shi 韓氏, “Mr. Han,” [7]. Han Ming di 漢明帝 (57-75) [1] This is Liu Zhuang 劉庄, emperor of Eastern Han 漢, the fourth son of Guang Wu di 光武帝, Liu Xiu 劉秀. In SE tao 桃, LSZ cites from the → Shi yi ji 拾遺 記 a story of his time when huge walnuts grew at Chang shan 常山. Han mo da quan 翰墨大全 → Han mo quan shu 翰墨全書 Han mo quan shu 翰墨全書, “Complete Book of Pens and Ink” Southern Song 宋 encyclopedia.

Although the book’s full title recalls the name of the → Shi wen lei ju 事文類 聚 of → Zhu Mu 祝穆, its organization and contents are entirely different. The encyclopedia is convenient for reference, and from official correspondence to lost common folk sayings there is little it does not record. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections as Han mo da quan [1] without naming the author. He
169 does not cite the book directly in his main text, but a single reference to a Han mo da quan 翰墨大全, “Great Compendium of Pens and Ink,” [1] is probably to this book. The author Liu Yingji, style name Ximi 希泌, was a man of Jian yang 建陽, now part of Fu jian 福建. Jin shi 1274. He held a local post under the Song, which he did not maintain under the Yuan 元, and later on founded his own private academy. Han Ping 韓憑 [1] Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty official. According to the → Shen xian zhuan 神仙傳, when his beautiful wife was taken by force by King Kang 康, Han Ping commited suicide and his wife jumped from a terrace and died as well. After the tombs of husband and wife had been situated facing each other, the branches and roots of the trees on them grew together, and people called them “trees of mutual longing” (xiang si shu 相思樹). LSZ cites this in SE xiang si zi 相思子. Han Ping di ji 漢平帝紀 → Han shu 漢書 Han shi 韓詩 , “The Han Book of Songs” [3] Abbreviation for the → Han shi wai zhuan 韓詩外傳, also a designation for a school of thought in the new text (jin wen 今文) tradition of the → Shi jing 詩 經. Transmitted by Han Ying 韓嬰, an early Han 漢 scholar from the state of Yan 燕 in the area of present-day Bei jing 北京 who served as a court academician during the reign of Emperor Wen 文 (180-157 BCE). Even though his version of the Shi jing circulated widely at the time, by Jin 晉 times its transmission had come to an end. The Han shu yi wen zhi 漢書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Han,” still lists an “inner commentary” (nei zhuan 内傳) to the Shi jing in 4 juan, an “outer commentary” (wai zhuan 外傳) in six juan, and other related works by Han Ying, but after the Southern Song only the outer commentary survived. Han shi 韓氏, “Mr. Han” [7] In → Han shi yi tong 韓氏醫通, this is → Han Mao 韓 .
[2] In connection with pharmaceutical substances, this is → Han Baosheng 韓保昇, author of the → Shu ben cao 蜀本草. Han shi san fang 寒食散方, “Cold-Food Powder recipe” [1] Name of medical formula or name of a book. See bibliography of the BCGM. LSZ lists the title in his bibliographical sections, claiming that this is one of 84 books cited from the → ZLBC. However, neither does he give additional information on authorship or size, nor does the ZLBC mention any formula or book title of this name. Several lost texts apparently dealing with recipes of cold-food powder (a psychoactive drug popular during the Six Dynasties and Tang era, also known as “five-minerals powder” (wu shi san 五石散)) and carrying the term han shi san fang 寒食散方 as part of their title can be found in the bibliographical sections of the Sui 隋 and Tang 唐 histories. But LSZ does not quote any material labeled Han shi san fang anywhere in the main text of the BCGM, so it is impossible to determine which book this title might relate to.
170 Han shi wai zhuan 韓詩外傳, “Master Han’s Outer Commentary to the Book of Songs” Western Han 漢 book. FE Han shu yi wen zhi 漢書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Han.” Written by Han Ying 韓嬰. The present edition consists of 10 juan. The book focuses on ancient stories and sayings, backed-up by quotations from the → Shi jing 詩經. The quotes from the Shi jing were included to verify the stories and not to elucidate the text of the classic itself. LSZ quotes contents and notes, namely those written by → Lu Dian 陸佃. LSZ cites the work as Han shi wai zhuan [7] and as → Han shi 韓詩 [3]. Han shi yi tong 韓氏醫通, “Mr. Han’s Comprehensive Book on Medicine” Ming 明 dynasty clinical text. FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” AN Yi tong 醫通, “Comprehensive Book on Medicine.” Written by → Han Mao 韓 . DC 1522. 2 juan. The book is short but useful in summarizing the clinical experiences of the author in a number of areas including diagnosis, case studies, or pharmaceutical recipes and their application. Han’s treatments were highly thought of by LSZ, who cites the book as Han shi yi tong [7] and as Yi tong [13]. LSZ also refers to the author by his full name [15] and by his popular pseudonyms Han Feixia 韓飛霞, “Han of the Flying Red Clouds,” [4] or Bai Feixia 白飛霞, “Bai of the Flying Red Clouds ,” [11]. Han shu 漢書, “History of the Han” Standard history of the Western Han 漢 dynasty. Written by → Ban Gu 班固 on the basis of material by his father Ban Biao 班彪, completed by Ban Gu’s sister Ban Zhao 班昭. DC 35-110. 100 chapters. Ban Gu took over the pattern previously set in the → Shi ji 史記 but slightly modified it, focusing on one dynasty (the Former or Western Han period, 230 years) and adding four treatises on areas left undiscussed in the history of → Sima Qian 司馬遷, that is, law and punishment (xing fa 刑法), the five phases (wu xing 五行), geography (di li 地理), and literature (yi wen 藝文). This resulted in the first standard dynastic history, one that set the pattern for those coming after. When citing the Han shu [31], LSZ sometimes specifies individual sections, i.e., the Yi wen zhi 藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise,” [2], the Jiao si zhi 郊祀志, “Treatise on Sacrifices,” [1], a Jiao si ge 郊祀歌, “Song on Sacrifices,”[1], the Lu Jia zhuan 陸賈傳, “Biography of Lu Jia,” [1], and the Han Ping di ji 漢平帝紀, “Annals of Emperor Ping of Han” [1]. He also quotes commentaries (→ Han shu zhu 漢書注) by various individuals such as → Yan Shigu 顔師古. Han shu zhu 漢書注, “annotations to the History of the Han” General name for annotated versions of the → Han shu 漢書. By Tang 唐 times, when → Yan Shigu 顔師古 wrote his notes, the Han shu had already been annotated by 23 other persons. In addition to Yan’s annotations (cited as Yan Shigu zhu 顔師古注, “Yan Shigu’s Annotations,” [3] or Yan Shigu zhu Han shu 顔師 古注漢書, “Yan Shigu’s Anotations to the Han shu,” [1]), LSZ cites notes of → Fu Qian 服虔, → Ying Shao 應劭, → Jin Zhuo 晉灼, → Li Qi 李奇, and → Zhang Yi 張揖. Quoting numerous annotations to the Han shu, LSZ cites these as Han shu zhu [4], only twice specifying this general title with the names of Li
171 Qi or Jin Zhuo. Elsewhere he is more specific, referring to such annotations as Fu Qian zhu 服虔注, “Fu Qian’s Annotations,” [1], Fu Qian zhu Han shu 服虔 注漢書, “Fu Qian’s Annotations to the Han shu,” [1], Ying Shao zhu Han shu 應 劭注漢書, “Ying Shao’s Annotations to the Han shu,” [2], Zhang Yi zhu Han shu 張揖注漢書, “Zhang Yi’s Annotations to the Han shu,” [1], Jin Zhuo zhu 晉灼 注, “Jin Zhuo’s Annotations,” [1], or by the name of Jin Zhuo [1] and Yan Shigu [4] alone. Han Tuizhi 韓退之 → Han Yu 韓愈 Han Tuizhi shi 韓退之詩 → Han Wengong ji 韓文公集 Han wang 漢王 → Han Gao zu 漢高祖 Han Wen 韓文 → Han Yu 韓愈 Han Wengong ji 韓文公集, “Collection of Han Wengong” Literary collection. This is the Changli xiansheng ji 昌黎先生集, “Collection of Gentleman Changli,” or Changli ji 昌黎集, “Collection of [Han] Changli.” FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by → Han Yu 韓愈 of the Tang 唐 dynasty. 50 juan with many notes added later. LSZ cites the book as Han Wengong ji [1] in his bibliographical sections, and although he does not cite the collection directly in his main text, he does refer material from the collection to Han Yu [2], to Han Tuizhi 韓退 之 [5], and to Han Wen 韓文 [4] there. There is one exception, however, where a poem labeled Han Tuizhi shi 韓退之詩, “Poem by Han Tuizhi,” [1] is actually from the Quan Tang shi 全唐詩, “Complete Tang Poems,” and not from the Han Wengong ji. Han Wu 漢武 → Han Wu di 漢武帝 Han Wu di 漢武帝 (156-87 BCE) This is Liu Che 劉徹, emperor of Western Han 漢, one of China’s most famous emperors, r. 140-87 BCE. Han Wu di achieved major political and economic successes. His deeds are detailed in the → Shi ji 史記 and the → Han shu 漢書, and various popular history works like the → Han Wu gu shi 漢武故事 or the Han Wu di nei zhuan 漢武帝內傳, “The Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of Han,” (→ Han Wu nei zhuan 漢武內傳) record mythology and legends about him. The → ZLBC in particular quotes many stories connected with Han Wu di. Many of these are taken over by LSZ, who refers to the emperor as Han Wu di [11], as Han Wu 漢武 [4], or as Wu di 武帝 [3]. The latter term, however, could refer to any Emperor Wu of various dynasties. Han Wu gu shi 漢武故事, “Stories of [Emperor] Wu of Han” [2] Popular history book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Attributed to → Ban Gu 班固. Probably written by Wang Jian 王儉 of the Southern Dynasties Period. 2 juan. The text covers much the same ground as the → Shi ji 史記 and the → Han shu 漢書 with regard to Emperor Wu of Han (→ Han Wu di 漢武帝) but has a more mythological and sensational bent. It is frequently quoted in texts such as the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚 and the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, but quotations there often differ
172 from the text of the Han Wu gu shi transmitted elsewhere. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and in the main text. He gets his material from the → ZLBC, which cites the text second hand itself. Han Wu nei zhuan 漢武內傳, “The Inner Biography of [Emperor] Wu of Han” This is the Han Wu di nei zhuan 漢武帝內傳, “The Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of Han,” an anonymous book probably written during the Six Dynasties period. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Falsely attributed to → Ban Gu 班固. 2 juan, 1 juan in the extant version. The text contains sensational stories about Emperor Wu of Han (→ Han Wu di 漢武帝) seen from a Daoist perspective. The text is quoted in the → ZLBC, from which LSZ gets his material. He cites it as Han Wu nei zhuan [1] in his bibliographical sections and as Nei zhuan 內傳, “The Inner Biography,” [1] in the main text. Han Xian 漢獻 (181-234) This is Emperor Xian 獻 of the Han 漢 dynasty, personal name Liu Xie 劉協, r. 189-220. His reign was a period of anarchy and struggle leading to his deposition and the collapse of the Han dynasty. LSZ reports a case of a male transforming into a female during the jian an 建安 reign period (196-219) and another event. He refers to the emperor as Han Xian [1] and as Xian di 獻帝 [1]. Han Xuan di 漢宣帝 (91-49 BCE) [1] This is Liu Xun 劉詢, emperor of Western Han 漢, r. 74-49 BCE. LSZ cites a story in SE gu jing 古鏡 about a precious mirror of the emperor that was able to reveal demons and monsters. Han yanzhi 韓彥直 Southern Song 宋 official. Style name Ziwen 子溫, a man of Yan an 延安 in present-day Shaan xi 陝西. He passed the jin shi examinations in 1148 and went on to hold various court offices. He had a reputation for his literary studies and was the author of the → Ju lu 橘錄 (called Ju pu 橘譜, “Tangerine Treatise,” by LSZ). Han yong 韓詠 [1] Southern Song 宋 person. A man of Qing liu 清流 in present-day Fu jian 福 建. According to the → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方, he suffered from “leg qi attacking upward” (jiao qi shang gong 腳氣上攻) but was cured by an external application of gan sui 甘遂 and an ingestion of sweetwood. LSZ cites this in SE gan sui 甘遂. Han yu 韓愈 (768-824) Tang 唐 dynasty literary figure, one of the great writers of the time, the initiator of the old text (gu wen 古文) movement, philosopher and a precursor of Neo-Confucianism. Style name Tuizhi 退之, a man of He yang 河陽 in He nan 河南. He referred to himself as Junwang Changli 郡望昌黎, “One Longing for his Ancestral Hometown Chang li,” and therefore was called Han Changli 韓昌 黎, “Han Changli.” He passed the jin shi examinations during the zhen yuan 貞 元 reign period (785-805) and after that held various high posts like Investigating
173 Censor (jian cha yu shi 監察御史) or as Vice Minister of Justice (xing bu shi lang 刑部侍郎). His posthumous name was Han Wengong 韓文公, “Han the Literary Lord.” There is a collection of his works, the Changli xiansheng ji 昌黎先生 集, “Collection of the Changli Gentleman,” also called → Han Wengong ji 韓文 公集, “Collection of Han the Literary Lord.” LSZ refers to Han Yu as Han Yu [1], as Han Tuizhi 韓退之 [6], as Han Wen 韓文 [4], and erroneously as Han Fei 韓非 [1]. Among other things, as a warning, LSZ reports the story of Han Yu’s consumption of minerals that supposedly caused his death. Han yuan cong ji 翰苑叢記, “Collected records from the Literary World” [2] Anonymous Northern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). EE → Yi shuo 醫説. AN Han yuan cong ji 翰苑叢紀, “Collected Records from the Literary World.” The name of the author is lost, and the book is not listed in the standard bibliographies, but the Yi shuo, written between 1189 and 1224, quotes material from it. The quoted passage refers to the Northern Song dynasty and calls Teng Kang 滕康 (1032-1132) the author. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text, taking his material from the Yi shuo. Han Zhao di 漢昭帝 (94-74 BCE) This is Liu Fuling 劉弗陵, emperor of Western Han 漢, r. 87-74 BCE. LSZ reports events that occurred during his time, referring to the emperor as Han Zhao di [1] and Zhao di 昭帝 [1]. Han Zhihe 韓祗和 [2] Northern Song 宋 physician and medical writer. Fl. 2nd half of the 11th century, further details about his life are unavailable. He studied the harm caused by cold (shang han 傷寒) theory of → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景 and was the author of the Shang han wei zhi lun 傷寒微旨論, “On the Subtle Meanings of the Shang han lun,” quoted by LSZ as the → Shang han shu 傷寒書. Han Zhihe 韓只和 In some editions of the BCGM, the name of → Han Zhihe 韓祗和 is incorrectly given as Han Zhihe 韓只和. Han Zhong 韓衆 [2] Name of an immortal. He is mentioned in the → Chu ci 楚辭 and can therefore be dated to the Warring States period. Another immortal, or rather a master of recipes (fang shi 方士) named → Han Zhong 韓終 is mentioned in the → Shi ji 史記 and lived during the reign of Qin shi huang di 秦始皇帝 (→ Qin shi huang 秦始皇, r. 246-210). The names of these men were mixed up in later sources, and they were erroneously regarded as one and the same person. LSZ cites a story about Han Zhong 韓衆 ingesting chang pu 菖蒲 to attain immortality from the → Baopu zi 抱朴子 , but this is actually Han Zhong 韓終, as the Baopu zi correctly writes. Another reference to a Han Zhong cai yao shi 韓衆採藥 詩, “Poem on Han Zhong Collecting Medicinals,” (→ Han Zhong cai yao shi 韓 終採藥詩) is an incorrect reference to Han Zhong 韓終 as well.
174 Han Zhong 韓終 Famous Western Han 漢 master of recipes (fang shi 方士) mentioned in the → Shi ji 史記. Sometimes called Huolin xianren 霍林仙人, “Immortal of the Crane Forest.” He was allegedly dispatched by Qin shi huang di 秦始皇帝 (→ Qin shi huang 秦始皇, r. 246-210) to find pharmaceutical substances to evade death, along with two other men. A poem connected to him, the → Han Zhong cai yao shi 韓終採藥詩, was transmitted by later generations. His name was later mixed up with the name of → Han Zhong 韓衆 of the Warring States period. Accordingly, LSZ erroneously refers to him as Han Zhong 韓衆 [2] and correctly as Han Zhong 韓終 [1] in the main text. Han Zhong cai yao shi 韓終採藥詩, “Poem on Han Zhong Collecting Medicinals” Name of a poem. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. → Han Zhong 韓終 was a famous Western Han 漢 master of recipes (fang shi 方士), which is why a poem on him collecting herbs was transmitted by later generations. LSZ correctly lists the text as Han Zhong cai yao shi 韓終採藥詩 [1] in his bibliographical sections and takes a citation over from the ZLBC in the main text, where he erroneously writes Han’s name → Han Zhong 韓衆, thus rendering the title Han Zhong cai yao shi 韓衆採藥詩 [1]. Han Zhong cai yao shi 韓衆採藥詩 → Han Zhong cai yao shi 韓終採藥詩 Han Ziwen 韓子溫 [1] Southern Song 宋 official. Served as Prefectural Supervisor (tong pan 通判) of Wen zhou 溫州. He once assisted → Shi Kangzu 時康祖 with an advice on how to cure his “heart leakage” (xin lou 心漏). LSZ cites this in SE fu zi 附子. Hanpu 函普 (10th century) Leader of the Jurchen Yuanyan 完颜 clan, posthumously titled Jingyuan huang di 景元皇帝, “Emperor Jingyuan,” and considered the primogenitor of the Jin 金 dynasty. According to the Jin shi 金史, “History of the Jin,” his wife married him at the age of more than 60 years but still gave birth to two sons and one daughter. LSZ cites this story from the → Liao shi 遼史 but erroneously writes Hanpu’s name Jipu 亟普 [1] in SE fu ren yue shui 婦人月水. Hao ran zhai ri chao 浩然齋日鈔, “daily Notes from the Overwhelming Study” Southern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Zhou Mi 周密. Today there are two books by Zhou with Hao ran 浩然, “Overwhelming,” in the title, the Hao ran zhai yi chao 浩然 齋意抄, “Notes on Ideas from the Overwhelming Study,” and the Hao ran zhai shi ting chao 浩然齋視听抄, “Notes on Things Seen and Heard from the Overwhelming Study,” both cited in the → Shuo fu 説郛. There is also a Hao ran zhai ya tan 浩然齋雅談, “Refined Conversations from the Overwhelming Study,” in the Yong le da dian 永樂大典, “Great Encyclopedia of the Yong le Reign Period,” which was not available to LSZ, however. LSZ, in addition to listing the text as Hao ran zhai ri chao 浩然齋日鈔 [1] in his bibliographical sections, quotes a passage in the main text as Hao ran zhai ri chao 浩然齋日抄 [1], the last character
175 an orthographic variant, and one as Zhi ran zhai chao 治然齋抄 [1], obviously an error for Hao ran zhai chao 浩然齋抄. Both passages are taken from the Shuo fu, one from the Hao ran zhai shi ting chao and the other from the Hao ran zhai yi chao. The Shuo fu lacks a Hao ran zhai ri chao. Hao ran zhai ri chao 浩然齋日抄 → Hao ran zhai ri chao 浩然齋日鈔 Hao yun 郝允 Northern Song 宋 famous physician. A man of Bo ling 博陵 in the south of present-day Li xian 蠡縣 in He bei 河北. He was widely read, and his medical skills were known to be exceptional. The people called him Hao weng 郝翁, “Old Man Hao.” He died during the huang you 皇祐 reign period (1049-1054). LSZ reproduces his explanations on the drug xue xuan 雪玄 from the → Ming yi lu 名 醫錄, referring to Hao as Hao Yun [1]. He also cites a story of Hao Yun curing → Xia Ying gong 夏英公 from the → Wen jian lu 聞見錄, erroneously writing his name Huo weng 霍翁 [1]. Hao zhi fu 郝知府, “Prefect Hao” [1] Ming 明 dynasty official. Personal name unknown. Served as prefect (zhi fu 知 府) of Qi zhou 蘄州. He overestimated his own medical knowledge and died after having ingested too many poisonous substances such as aconite root. LSZ cites this in SE wu tou 烏頭. Haogu 好古 → Wang Haogu 王好古 He 和 [1] Physician from the State of Qin 秦 during the Spring and Autumn Period. The → Zuo zhuan 左傳 has a story about him curing the Marquis of Jin 晉, and LSZ mentions his name. He Chengtian 何承天 (370-447) [3] Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty historian, lexicographer, and mathematician. A man of Tan xian 郯縣 in Dong hai 東海, now part of Shang dong 山東. He held various local and court posts and acquired the nickname He Hengyang 何衡陽 after serving in the area of Heng yang 衡陽. He Chengtian assisted in the compilation of the → Song shu 宋書 and was the author of the → Zuan wen 纂文 and other books. He daying 何大英 [3] This is the style name of the Ming 明 dynasty physician and medical writer He Jingcai 何經才. Fl. 16th century. A man of Xi an 西安, now Quxian 衢縣 in Zhe jiang 浙江. Apparently very well connected, he became accomplished in medical theory and practice and wrote the comprehensive text → Fa ming zheng zhi 發 明證治. He deyang 何德揚 [1] Ming 明 dynasty physician. A recipe of his for easing difficult birth is cited in the → Ji de tang jing yan fang 積德堂經驗方, from which LSZ takes his quotation. Further details are unavailable.
176 He di 和帝 → Han He di 漢和帝 He ding xin shu 鶴頂新書, “New Book of the Crane’s Crest” [3] Lost book. See bibliography of the BCGM. No author indicated, the book is not listed in the standard bibliographies, and there are no quotations in other books prior to the BCGM. The terminology and contents cited make it appear that the book was a Daoist alchemical text. He Feng 何諷 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty scholar. Legend has it that at the end of the jian zhong 建中 reign period (780-783) he obtained a so-called mai wang 脈望 (a bookworm, or rather a curled hair found in an ancient book) that when ingested turns people into immortals. LSZ mentions this in SE yi yu 衣魚 but considers the tale absurd. He hu ji wen 河湖紀聞 → Jiang hu ji wen 江湖紀聞 He ji 和劑 → He ji ju fang 和劑局方 He ji fang 和劑方 → He ji ju fang 和劑局方 He ji ju fang 和劑局方, “recipes from the Pharmaceutical Bureau” Northern Song 宋 recipe book. FE Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises.” Compiled by the Imperial Medical Bureau (tai yi ju 太醫局) and edited by → Chen Cheng 陳承, Pei Zongyuan 裴 宗元, Chen Shiwen 陳師文, and others. DC 1107-1110. 5 juan, expanded to 10 juan during the Southern Song. The text is comprised of formulas considered effective by the Imperial Medical Bureau. The Southern Song version includes 14 chapters on wind (feng 風), harm caused by cold (shang han 傷寒), and other disease categories, 788 recipes in all. LSZ refers to the text as He ji ju fang [77], as Tai ping hui ming he ji ju fang 太平惠民和劑局方, “Recipes to Benefit the People from the Pharmaceutical Bureau of the Tai ping Reign Period,” [1], as Hui min he ji ju fang 惠民和劑局方, “Recipes from the Pharmaceutical Bureau to Benefit the People,” [9], as He ji 和劑, “Pharmaceutical [Bureau],” [1], as Tai ping he ji ju fang 太平和劑局方, “Recipes from the Pharmaceutical Bureau of the Tai ping Reign Period,” [1], as He ji fang 和劑方, “Recipes from the Pharmaceutical [Bureau],” [12], and as Ju fang 局方, “Official Recipes,” [6].

FE Si ku quan shu zong mu 四庫全書總目, “General Bibliography to the Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature.” Attributed by LSZ to → Xu Hong 許洪. DC 13th century or later. 3 juan. Juan 1 is a general introduction to such topics as prescriptions, drug combinations and interactions, food prohibitions while taking medicine, and preparation methods for 185 medicinals. The following two juan deal with disease signs, causes for disease, and drug application. The text was placed at the beginning of the imperial → He ji ju fang 和劑 局方, thus its name. LSZ calls this book Ben cao zhi nan 本草指南, “Guide to Materia Medica,” [1] in his bibliographical sections but uses its full title in the main text [1], in this case referring it to Xu Hong.
177 He Jingming 何景明 (1483-1521) Ming 明 dynasty scholar. Style name Zhongmo 仲默, literary name Dafu shanren 大復山人, “Hermit of Mount Da fu,” a man of Xin yang 信陽 in He nan 河 南. He passed the jin shi examinations in 1502 and held a regional appointment. He was a famous literary figure and, along with → Wang Tingxiang 王廷相 and others, one of the “Earlier Seven Masters” (qian qi zi 前七子). LSZ lists his collection, the Da fu ji 大復集, “Collection of [He] Dafu,” which, referring to He as He Zhongmo [1], he calls → He Zhongmo ji 何仲默集 in his bibliographical sections. He also refers to He Jingming [1] in the main text without mentioning the collection. He Junmo zhuan 何君謨傳, “Biography of He Junmo” [1] Source invented by LSZ interpreting material from the → ZLBC. The ZLBC does not cite a He Junmo zhuan but refers simply to a discourse on the characteristics of two types of deer by one He Junmo 何君謨. In this section He Junmo criticises mistakes in the → Rihua zhu jia ben cao 日華諸家本草 from the Five Dynasties period, so it is to be assumed that he lived during the Northern Song 宋 dynasty. Further details are lacking. LSZ lists a He Junmo zhuan in his bibliographical sections, presumably based upon his misunderstanding of the ZLBC, but does not quote any material connected to He Junmo in the main text. He Lian shi 赫連氏, “Master He Lian” [1] Legendary person of ancient times. According to the → Lei shuo 類説, he constructed a comb with 24 teeth. The text places him between Nü wa 女媧, the sister of Fu Xi, and Emperor Shun 舜, both legendary figures of high antiquity. He lin yu lu 鶴林玉露, “Jade dew from the Crane Forest” [3] Southern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). Written by → Luo Dajing 羅大經. 18 juan, divided into three subsections of 6 juan each. The book discusses various topics taken from miscellaneous sources, it cites Song Neo-Confucianists, discusses poetry, Confucian classics, and historical works, and records anecdotes from Southern Song times. LSZ cites the collection in his bibliographical sections and the main text. He Mengchun 何孟春 Ming 明 dynasty official. Style name Ziyuan 子元, literary name Yanquan jushi 燕泉居士, “Recluse of Yan quan.” A man of Chen zhou 郴州, now in Hu nan 湖 南, jin shi 1493. He held various court and capital offices and devoted himself to writing literature in his old age. He was the author of the Yu dong xu lu 餘冬敘 錄, “Well-Arranged Records Taken during my Winter Days,” (→ Yu dong lu 餘 冬錄), a large work of 65 juan, and the medical work → Qun fang xu chao 群方續 鈔, both used by LSZ, who refers to He as He Mengchun [5] and He Ziyuan [1]. He nan yin 河南尹, “Governor of He nan” [1] Pre-Ming 明 official. The → Pu ji fang 普濟方 states that he once threatened Lü Xihua 呂西華 (→ Lü Zihua 呂子華) with severe punishment if he would not reveal a certain recipe with mai fan shi 麥飯石.
178 He Qing 何卿 [1] Ming 明 dynasty official. A man of the Cheng du 成都 guard in Si chuan 四 川. From 1526 on, he held various military posts and died some time after 1553. He has a biography in the Ming shi 明史, “History of the Ming.” LSZ, citing from the → She sheng zhong miao fang 攝生衆妙方 in SE jiu xiang chong 九香 蟲, refers to “black dragon pills” (wu long wan 烏龍丸) that He Qing ingested regularly. He Shanchun 河山純 → He Shanchun 何山純 He Shanchun 何山純 Southern Song 宋 person. A man from Western Zhe jiang 浙江. Details about his life are unavailable. According to the → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方, he once submitted a recipe to cure “red and white free-flux illness” (chi bai li 赤白痢) to → Su Taoguang 蘇韜光. LSZ cites this recipe but erroneously refers to He as He Shanchun 河山純 [2]. He Shangzhi 何尚之 (382-460) [1] Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty high official. Style name Yande 彥德, a man of Qian 灊 in Lu jiang 廬江, now Huo shan 霍山 in An hui 安徽. He served in various high central positions and has a biography in the → Nan shi 南史. LSZ cites the story about his cure from chronic “exhaustion disease” (lao bing 勞病) by consumption of woman’s breast milk in SE ru zhi 乳汁. He shi fang 何氏方, “recipes of Mr. He” [3] Medical recipe book cited in the main text of the BCGM. Author and DC unknown. Possibly an abbreviated designation of the → Qun fang xu chao 群方續 鈔 of the Ming 明 author → He Mengchun 何孟春. He shou wu zhuan 何首烏傳, “Notes on Polygonum” [2] Tang 唐 dynasty text. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by → Li Ao 李翱. DC c. 812-841. 1 juan. The book tells the story about the family of a man called → He Shouwu 何首烏 and appears to give pharmaceutical information on the pharmaceutical effects of polygonum root, but is in fact a concealed political statement suggesting a path to revitalize Confucianism by adopting certain elements of Buddhism and Daoism. The text is quoted in the → TJBC, from which LSZ takes his material, citing it in his bibliographical sections and in SE he shou wu 何首烏. He Shouwu 何首烏 [3] Usually the name of a pharmaceutical drug: he shou wu (the root tuber of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb.), but in three cases this is a Tang 唐 dynasty person. A man of Nan he xian 南和縣 in Shun zhou 順州, in the southeast of present-day Lu chuan 陸川 county in Guang xi 廣西. His story is told in the → He shou wu zhuan 何首烏傳 and is an allegory for the vision of the author → Li Ao 李翱 to see Confucianism revitalized by adopting some features of Daoism and Buddhism: He Shouwu’s grandfather was called → Tian’er 田兒, a man impotent and sterile from congenital weakness (signifying Confucianism in the allegory). At the age of 58, Tian’er happened to see two intertwined vine plants (signifying
179 Daoism and Buddhism) and ingested their roots. This gave his body strength, and he then fathered numerous sons and changed his name to Nengsi 能嗣, “able to have offspring.” His son → Yan Xiu 延秀 lived to the age of 160, and Yan Xiu’s son, in turn, was He Shouwu. At the age of 130 years, He Shouwu’s beard and hair were still black. He tu kuo di xiang 河圖括地象, “river Maps Including Pictures of the Land” [3] Lost book on divination and apocrypha (chen wei 讖緯). See bibliography of the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. The author is unknown but probably lived during Han 漢 times. The book is one of the oldest Chinese geographies, containing information on mountains, rivers, etc., but also much mythological and legendary material. Legend has it that Yu 禹 the Great (→ Da Yu 大禹) used this book for assistance as he tamed the waters. Fragments are found in the → Hou Han shu 後漢書 , the → Shui jing zhu 水經注, the Tai ping yu lan, the → Shuo fu 説郛, and other books. LSZ cites the text in his bibliographical sections and the main text, taking his quotes from the Tai ping yu lan. He tu yu ban 河圖玉版, “Jade Edition of the river Maps” [2] Lost book on divination and apocrypha (chen wei 讖緯). EE → Shui jing zhu 水 經注 and others. Probably written during the Han 漢 dynasty by an unknown author. Fragments are found in the Shui jing zhu, the → Jing Chu sui shi ji 荊楚歲 時記, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other early texts. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections but does not indicate an author. In the main text he cites a passage from the Tai ping yu lan said there to come from the He tu 河 圖, “River Maps,” which LSZ renders as He tu yu ban. He xiang fang 合香方, “recipes with Combined aromatic Substances” [1] Lost book. Written by → Fan Ye 范曄. The → Song shu 宋書 reproduces the preface in its biography of Fan Ye. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections but cites it in the main text. He yan 何晏 (died 249) [1] Specialist in Arcane Learning (xuan xue 玄學) from the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period. Style name Pingshu 平叔. He Yan was a man of Wan xian 宛縣 in Nan yang 南陽 in present-day He nan 河南 and served in the central administration of Wei. He was one of the initiators of the xuan xue school of thought and also wrote poetry and books like the Dao de lun 道德論, “Discourse on the Way and Virtue,” the Wu ming lun 無名論, “Discourse on the Nameless,” and the Jiu zhou lun 九州論, “Discourse on the Nine Regions,” listed by LSZ as the → Jiu zhou ji 九州記. He yu tu 河魚圖, “Illustrations of river Fish.” [1] Incorrect title of a book. The material LSZ cites in SE hu 虎 is taken from the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, which refers the same material to the → Long yu he tu 龍魚河圖. Hence, He yu tu must be an erroneous designation for the Long yu he tu.
180 He yuan 何薳 Northern Song 宋 writer. Style name Ziyuan 子遠, AV Zichu 子楚. Literary name Hanqing laonong 韓青老農, “Old Farmer of Han qing,” a man of Pu cheng 浦城 in present-day Fu jian 福建. Author of the → Chun zhu ji wen 春渚 紀聞. Exact details about his life are unavailable, but it is known that his father received a post thanks to the influence of poet → Su Shi 蘇軾, and the Chun zhu ji wen records events that took place during the time of transition at the end of the Northern Song dynasty. Thus, the author must have lived in the 1st half of the 12th century. LSZ erroneously writes his name He Yuan 何遠 [3]. He yuan 何遠 → He Yuan 何薳 He Zhongmo 何仲默 → He Jingming 何景明 He Zhongmo ji 何仲默集, “Collection of He Zhongmo” This is LSZ’s name for the Dafu ji 大復集, “Collection of [He] Dafu,” the literary collection of Ming 明 dynasty writer → He Jingming 何景明 (style name Zhongmo 仲默). FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” 64 juan (AV 38 juan). The collection contains fu 賦 and shi 詩 poetry, prose, etc. LSZ lists the book as He Zhongmo ji [1] in his bibliographical sections and does not refer to it directly in his main text, but he does quote what is apparently material from this source there, labeling it with the author’s name He Jingming [1]. He Ziyuan 何子元 → He Mengchun 何孟春 Heguan zi 鶡冠子, “Master Heguan” [1] Name of book, alleged to be from the Warring States Period. FE Han shu yi wen zhi 漢書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Han.” Attributed to Heguan zi 鶡冠子, a Daoist figure whose full name is lacking. He is said to have lived deep in the mountains and to have used feathers of the he 鶡-bird, a long-tailed pheasant, as his cap (guan 冠), thus his nickname. The current text is in 3 juan and 19 chapters but is probably falsely attributed to He guan zi. LSZ refers to the text in his bibliographical sections but does not directly cite it in his main text. Hei hai er 黑孩兒, “Black Child” [1] Brand name. LSZ cites a recipe to cure “inner and outer obstructive shades” (nei wai zhang yi 內外障翳) from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方 in SE ma huang 麻黃, claiming that this was “a recipe of the black child from the eastern part of the Prime Minister monastery in Nan jing” (Nan jing xiang guo si dong hei hai er fang 南京相國寺東黑孩兒方). However, the original Pu ji fang text only states that the recipe was taken from the → Lan shi mi cang 蘭室秘藏 of → Li Dongyuan 李東垣. The Lan shi mi cang does indeed list the same recipe but has no reference to a black child, hence this designation may have been added by LSZ. The Song 宋 Xiao er wei sheng zong wei lun fang 小兒衛生總微論方, “Recipes and a Complete and Detailed Discourse on Protecting the Lives of Children,” (→ Wei sheng zong wei lun 衛生總微論) labels two recipes “Guard Bai from the black child” (hei hai er Bai fang yu 黑孩兒柏防禦). It therefore appears that “black
181 child” was the brand name of a Song apothecary’s shop. The Prime Minister monastery (xiang guo si 相國寺) was located in Bian jing 汴京, now Kai feng 開 封 in He nan 河南, which was re-named Nan jing 南京 in the Jin 金 and Yuan 元. Possibly the brand name “black child” was maintained during those times at the xiang guo si. Hei xue gong 黑穴公, “Lord of the Black Cave” [1] Divine immortal. According to the inner chapters of the → Baopu zi 抱朴子 , Hei xue gong was a follower of → Peng zu 彭祖, and both lived to the age of several hundred years. Eventually, during Yin 殷 times, he retreated into seclusion. In SE huang lian 黃連, LSZ gives the → Shen xian zhuan 神仙傳 as the source of this story, but no Hei xue gong is mentioned in the Shen xian zhuan extant today. Hejian 河間 → Liu Wansu 劉完素 Helü 闔閭 (died 496 BCE) This is the literary name (by which he is commonly known) of Ji Guang 姬光, late Spring and Autumn period ruler of the state of Wu 吳, r. 514-496 BCE. The → Bo wu zhi 博物志 mentions him in a story, which LSZ takes over in SE kuai can yu 鱠殘魚, referring to the king as Helü [1] and elsewhere as Wu wang 吳王 [2]. Heng shan ji 衡山記, “records from Heng shan” [1] Lost book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Attributed to a Song jushi 宋居士, “Retired Scholar of the Song,” which is not the name of a person, but a general description for a retired scholar of the Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty. The → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 cites a Xu Lingqi nan yue ji 徐靈期南岳記, “Records from Nan yue by Xu Lingqi,” but separately also an otherwise unidentified Heng shan ji. During the Ming 明 period, → Yang Shen 楊慎 refers to a Xu Lingqi heng shan ji 徐靈期衡山記, “Records from Heng shan by Xu Lingqi,” in his Sheng’an ji 昇庵集, “Collection of [Yang] Sheng’an,” (→ Yang Sheng’an ji 楊昇庵集). Xu Lingqi was indeed a man of Liu Song, who practised Daoism at Heng shan 衡山 in Nan yue 南岳. But this Song jushi may or may not be him, since there are also various other men of that description recorded in the Buddhist encyclopedia Fa yuan zhu lin 法苑珠 林, “Forest of Gems in the Garden of the Dharma.” Fragments of the Heng shan ji are found in the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the Tai ping yu lan, and other books. LSZ does not list the Heng shan ji in his bibliographical sections, but in the main text he cites it second hand from the Yi wen lei ju or Tai ping yu lan. Hong bao wan bi shu 鴻寶萬畢術 → Huai nan wan bi shu 淮南萬畢術 Hong fan 洪範, “Fundamental Laws” [1] Chapter of the → Shang shu 尚書, which contains the fundamental laws of the universe told to Emperor Wu 武 of Zhou 周 at the end of the Shang 商 dynasty. The chapter is nowadays suspected to date to the late Warring States Period only. The text is noteworthy, however, because it is one of the earliest to use the five phases (wu xing 五行) theory to explain natural phenomena, a thinking that was
182 further developed by → Liu Xiang 劉向 of the Han 漢 dynasty in the → Hong fan wu xing zhuan 洪範五行傳. LSZ cites the Hong fan in the main text only. Hong fan wu xing zhuan 洪範五行傳, “The Tradition of the Fundamental Laws and Five Phases” Lost Han 漢 dynasty book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Liu Xiang 劉向. 11 juan. The book expands the five phases (wu xing 五行) and yin yang theory on favorable and unfavorable situations from the → Hong fan 洪範 chapter of the → Shang shu 尚書, recording auspicious omens and unusual disasters from remote ages, through the Spring and Autumn period, to Qin 秦 and Han 漢 times, and elucidating divinational connections. The original book is lost, but much of the text is found in the Sui shu wu xing zhi 隋書五行志, “Treatises on the Five Phases in the History of the Sui,” the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other books. LSZ cites the book second hand from these sources as Hong fan wu xing zhuan [2] and as Wu xing zhuan 五行傳, “The Tradition of the Five Phases,” [1] in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Hong fei ji 鴻飛集, “Goose Flight Collection” Abbreviation of the Hong fei ji lun 鴻飛集論, “Discourse on the Goose Flight Collection,” a text on ophthalmology of uncertain date. FE Guo shi jing ji zhi 國史經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatises of the Dynastic Histories.”AN Rihua zi hong fei ji 日華子鴻飛集, “The Goose Flight Collection of Master Sun-Rays.” Attributed to → Rihua zi 日華子. Of uncertain authorship, but the legend says that Rihua zi, out hunting, recovered the book from some geese – or Daoist immortals appearing as geese, a standard Ming 明 motive. First printed in 1556. 1 juan. The book contains theoretical information and rhymed instructions on eye diseases. It also lists 62 specific eye ailments, each entry containing an illustration and information on the disease name, on diagnostic and therapeutical criteria, and on suitable pharmaceutical recipes. LSZ cites the book as Hong fei ji [6] and incorrectly as Fei hong ji 飛鴻集, “Flying Geese Collection,” [3] in the bibliographical sections and the main text. He also refers to the assumed author erroneously as Tian Rihua 田日華 [1]. Hong Gong 洪栱 Southern Song 宋 person, erroneously referred to as Chen Gong 陳拱 [1] by LSZ when quoting the → Lei bian 類編 in SE xia 蝦. This Lei bian fragment is preserved only in the → Yi shuo 醫説, which refers to the same person as Jingcheng di chang zi Gong 景成弟長子拱, “Gong, the eldest son of the younger brother of Jingcheng.” The Lei bian was based on material from the → Yijian zhi 夷堅志 by → Hong Mai 洪邁 (style name Jinglu 景廬). Hong and his brothers, eight men altogether, all had the character jing 景 in their style name so Jingcheng di 景成弟 must refer to some younger brother of Hong Mai. The names of his nephews all consist of one character with a mu 木 radical, hence Gong 拱 must be an error for Gong 栱. Hong Gong at the age of seven suffered from a “turtle-shaped concretion-illness” (bie zheng 鱉癥) and was advised by a → Wai yi Hong shi 外醫洪氏 to ingest shrimp soup.
183 Hong Guanzhi 洪貫之 [1] Song 宋 dynasty official. Details about his life are unavailable. According to the → Yijian zhi 夷堅志, he once learnt of a secret recipe to cure blood spitting that a convict had transmitted before execution. LSZ cites this in SE bai ji 白及.

He passed the jin shi examinations during the shao xing 紹興 reign period (1131-1163) and held various mostly literary posts, such as at the Han lin 翰林 Academy and the Duan ming court (duan ming dian 端明殿). He was known for his profound scholarship and his knowledge extended from classics, history, and philosophy to medicine, divination and celestial patterns (tian wen 天文), all of which he wrote on in some depth, showing many new ideas. His writings include a → Rongzhai sui bi 容齋 隨筆 and a → Yijian zhi 夷堅志. LSZ refers to Hong as Hong Mai [27], Hong shi 洪氏, “Mr. Hong,” [3], or recalls his official service at court as Hong Neihan 洪内翰, “Hong of the Han [lin Academy],” [1]. LSZ also mistakenly assigns the → Song mo ji wen 松漠紀聞 of Hong Mai’s father Hong Hao 洪皓 (→ Hong Zhongxuan 洪忠宣) to Hong Mai in his bibliographical sections. Hong Mai ji 洪邁集, “Collection of Hong Mai” [1] Literary collection. The work is not listed in the standard bibliographies and was only cited in the Dan qian yu lu 丹鉛餘錄, “Extra Records of Cinnabar and Lead,” (→ Dan qian lu 丹鉛錄) of → Yang Shen 楊慎, in the Sheng’an ji 昇庵集,, “Collection of [Yang] Sheng’an,” (→ Yang Sheng’an ji 楊昇庵集), and some other Ming 明 dynasty works.

Later he retired at Qian 潛 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江 and studied books at Tian mu shan 天目山, collecting a large number of texts. LSZ cites his → Lao pu fu 老圃賦. Hong Wen’an 洪文安 (1120-1174) This is the posthumous name of Hong Zun 洪遵, a Southern Song 宋 official and expert on coins. Style name Jingyan 景嚴, a man of Po yang 鄱陽, now Bo yang 波陽 in Jiang xi 江西. He worked hard to become a scholar at the Han lin 翰林 Academy and rose to various other offices such as Grand Councilor of the Right (you cheng xiang 右丞相). In the → Rongzhai sui bi 容齋隨筆, his younger brother → Hong Mai 洪邁 reports that Hong Zun died of excessive ingestion of toxic pills with yu shi 礜石 that were prescribed by → Tang Sanyi 湯三益. LSZ takes this over, referring to Hong as Hong Wen’an [1] and Wen’an gong 文安公, “Literary and Peaceful Lord,” [1]. Hong wu zheng yun 洪武正韻, “Correct rhymes of the Hong wu reign Period” [1] Ming 明 dynasty book of rhymes. FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” Written on imperial command by Le Shaofeng 樂韶鳳 and others. DC 1375. 16 juan. The book uses a different approach to earlier works, devoting 22 chapters to the shang 上, qu 去, and ping 平 tones each and 10 to the ru 入 tone. The book was widely published and circulated during its time but was rarely used later. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it in the main text. Hong yufu 洪玉父 [1] This is the style name of Hong Yan 洪炎, a poet of late Northern Song 宋, early Southern Song. A man of Nan chang 南昌 in present-day Jiang xi 江西. He was the elder brother of Hong Chu 洪芻 (→ Hong Jufu 洪駒父) and acquired a reputation for his writings. LSZ refers a passage explaining the name of the crab apple (lin qin 林檎) to Hong, which he quotes second-hand from the later → Shi wen lei ju 事文類聚 of → Zhu Mu 祝穆. Hong Zhongxuan 洪忠宣 (1088-1155) [1] This is the posthumous name of Hong Hao 洪皓, a Song 宋 dynasty official and father of → Hong Mai 洪邁. Style name Guangbi 光弼, a man of Po yang 鄱陽 in present-day Jiang xi 江西, jin shi during the zheng he 政和 reign period (11111118). In 1129, he went on a diplomatic mission to Jin 金, where he remained in captivity after refusing Jin offers of an appointment. In 1142 he finally returned to Song China and received a court appointment there. In the → Song mo ji wen 松漠紀聞 Hong recorded the things seen and heard during his years of arrest. He was also known for his poetry, which, along with other works, was collected into the Po yang ji 鄱陽集, “Collection from Po yang.” LSZ refers to Hong by his posthumous name only.
185 Hongjing 弘景 → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 Hou Han shu 後漢書, “History of the Later Han” Standard history. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Fan Ye 范曄 of Liu Song 劉宋. Now 120 chapters, divided into 130 juan. The text records the history of Eastern Han 漢 (23-220 CE) and is written in annal-biography style (ji zhuan ti 紀傳體). Since the original text only comprises annals and biographies, the Xu Han shu 續 漢書, “History of the Second Han,” of the Western Jin 晉 author → Sima Biao 司馬彪 was combined with Fan Ye’s text during the Northern Song 宋 dynasty to produce the presently circulating text. Before Fan Ye, there had been numerous attempts to produce a history of Eastern Han by → Xie Cheng 謝承, Sima Biao, Hua Jiao 華嶠, and others. Fan Ye took the → Dong guan Han ji 東觀漢記 as his basis and used material from the previous histories, especially from Hua Jiao’s Hou Han shu, to compile his edition. Consequently, after Fan Ye’s text became available, the earlier material gradually disappeared. LSZ refers to the text as Hou Han shu [9] and as Dong Han shu 東漢書, “History of Eastern Han,” [1].
[1] AN for the → Xu Han shu 續漢書. Hou Ji 后稷, “Lord Millet” Agricultural god, patron of millet (and other grains), considered the founding ancestor of the Zhou 周 dynasty ruling clan. Personal name Qi 棄, son of → Jiang Yuan 姜嫄. As an ancestral figure and a teacher of the people in agriculture he was an object of special sacrifice in Zhou times. The legend is detailed in the → Shi jing 詩經 and other early sources. LSZ refers to him as Hou Ji [2] and as Qi [1]. Hou jiao shou 侯教授 → Zhan jiao shou 詹教授 Hou shi 侯氏, “Mr. Hou” [1] This is Hou Ningji 侯寧极, a medical writer of the Later Tang 唐 dynasty. Jin shi during the tian cheng 天成 reign period (926-929). He collected a multitude of alternative names for pharmaceutical substances to create a Yao pu 藥譜, “Treatise on Pharmaceutical Substances,” which LSZ, not giving Hou’s full name, calls → Hou shi yao pu 侯氏藥譜. Hou shi yao pu 侯氏藥譜, “Mr. Hou’s Treatise on Pharmaceutical Substances” [1] This is LSZ’s name for the Yao pu 藥譜, “Treatise on Pharmaceutical Substances,” a medical reference text. EE → Shuo fu 説郛. Written by Hou Ningji 侯寧 极 (→ Hou shi 侯氏), AN Yao ming pu 藥名譜, “Treatise on Names of Pharmaceutical Substances.” DC early 10th century. 1 juan. The text consists of 190 entries with alternative names, mostly personifications, for pharmaceutical drugs. LSZ does not list the text in his bibliography but cites it once in the main text. Hou Wei shu 後魏書, “History of Later Wei” [4] Historical work. See bibliography of the BCGM. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections without indicating an author but attributes it to → Li Yanshou 李延壽 in the main text. Of the citations in the BCGM, the three not associated with Li’s name are from the → Wei shu 魏書 of Wei Shou 魏收. The one
186 citation attributed to Li Yanshou is from a Hou Wei shu cited in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 without any indication of authorship. We know of several books with this name, but none has survived. Thus, there is no way to determine exactly what work is being cited in the Tai ping yu lan, which refers to a Hou Wei shu on numerous occasions, possibly referring to several books of the same title. In any case, there is no evidence that Li Yanshou wrote such a work, so LSZ is certainly mistaken in attributing such a book to him. Hou Wei Xiao Wen di 後魏孝文帝 (467-499) [1] This is Yuan Hong 元宏, emperor of Northern Wei 魏, r. 471-499. According to the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺, the pharmaceutical drug xiao wen jiu 孝文韭 was planted by him. Hou yanqing 侯延慶 Northern Song 宋 literatus. Style name Jichang 季長, literary name Tuizhai jushi 退齋居士, “The Retired Scholar who Withdrew to his Study.” A man of Heng shan 衡山 in Chang sha 長沙 in present-day Hu nan 湖南, jin shi 1116. He held a court post and was the author of the → Tuizhai ya wen lu 退齋雅聞 錄, of a Tuizhai ci 退齋詞, “Ci Poetry of [Hou] Tuizhai,” and other books. LSZ does not call him by his proper name but incorrectly refers to him as Hou Yanshang 侯延賞 [2]. Hou yanshang 侯延賞 → Hou Yanqing 侯延慶 Hu ben cao 胡本草, “Materia Medica of the Northern and Western Lands” [2] Lost Tang 唐 dynasty book on pharmaceuticals from foreign (northern and western) countries and ethnic minority areas. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐 書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Zheng Qian 鄭虔. DC between 742 and 755. 7 juan. LSZ mentions the work in the → Hai yao ben cao 海藥本草 entry in his bibliographical sections and quotes what is apparently a fragment of the text from an uncertain source in the main text. Hu er 胡兒 [1] Jin 晉 dynasty general, son of → Li Xuan 李宣. His mother, Mrs. Fan 樊 (→ Fan shi 樊氏), was pregnant with him but did not deliver by the due date. Only later did she give birth to the baby from a lesion in her forehead. LSZ cites this in SE ren gui 人傀. Hugang zi 狐剛子 [2] Daoist. According to the modern scholar Zhao Kuanghua 趙匡華, he was also called Hugang zi 胡罡子 or Hugang zi 狐罡子, his given name was Qiu 丘, and he was a late Eastern Han 漢 alchemist associated with → Wei Boyang 魏伯陽. His Huang di jiu ding shen dan jing jue 黃帝九鼎神丹經訣, “Secret Instructions on the Classic of the Divine Elixirs of the Yellow Thearch’s Nine Tripods,” in 20 juan is preserved in the Dao zang 道藏, “Daoist Canon,” (→ Dao zang jing 道藏 經), and the → ZLBC quotes his → Fen tu 粉圖.

He held various high posts and rose to be Minister of Works (da si kong 大司空), Minister of Education (si tu 司徒) and Defender-in-chief (tai wei 太尉). The → Hou Han shu 後漢書 has his biography. According to the → Jing zhou ji 荊州記, he drank from a pond of Chrysanthemum water and achieved longevity. LSZ mentions this in SE ju 菊. Hu Jiao 胡嶠 [2] Man of Later Zhou 周 during the Five Dynasties. He held local offices in He yang 郃陽 county in present-day Shaan xi 陝西. After going on an embassy to the Qitan he was held captive for seven years. When he returned in 953, he wrote of his experiences in the lost → Xian lu ji 陷虜記, cited second hand by LSZ. Hu Jushi 壺居士 [2] Legendary immortal of pre-Tang 唐 times.

Attributed to Hu gong 壺公 or → Hu Jushi 壺居士, a legendary immortal traditionally dated to the Later Han 漢 period, who is said to have practiced medicine on his own and sold pharmaceutical substances in the market. LSZ quotes a fragment of the book from the Cha jing in his main text but incorrectly calls the text Hu gong shi ji 壺公食忌, “Dietary Prohibitions of the Honorable Mr. Hu,” [1]. He denies the lore about tea in the citation as Daoist exaggeration. In addition, he quotes a → ZLBC fragment referring to Hu Jushi that was probably taken from this book, but mistakenly attributes it to Simiao 思邈 (→ Sun Simiao 孫思邈). Hu Jushi zhuan 壺居士傳, “Biography of Hu the recluse” [1] Biographical text. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. Although it lists the title in its bibliographical sections, the ZLBC does not quote any biographical material in its main text but labels information on dietetic therapy with the name → Hu Jushi 壺居士. This is probably taken from the → Hu Jushi shi ji 壺居士食忌 cited in the → Cha jing 茶經. LSZ, too, lists a Hu Jushi zhuan in his bibliographical sections and in the main text cites the ZLBC material labeled Hu Jushi, but mistakenly attributes this material to Simiao 思邈 (→ Sun Simiao 孫思邈). Hu ming fang 護命方 → Wan quan hu ming fang 萬全護命方 Hu Qia 胡洽 Liu Song 劉宋 physician and Daoist. Original name Hu Daoqia 胡道洽, but the character dao 道 was later omitted due to a naming taboo. Nickname Hu Jushi 胡居士, “Hu the Recluse.” He was a man of Guang ling 廣陵, now Yang zhou
188 揚州 in Jiang su 江蘇 and is the author of the → Bai bing fang 百病方. LSZ refers to Hu as Hu Qia [12], as Hu Jushi [2], and as Hu Qia jushi 胡洽居士 [12]. Hu Qia fang 胡洽方 → Bai bing fang 百病方 Hu Qia jushi 胡洽居士 → Hu Qia 胡洽 Hu shi 忽氏 → Hu Sihui 忽思慧 Hu shi 胡氏, “Mr. Hu”, “Mrs. Hu” [8] [3] Unidentifiable author of the → Hu shi fu ren fang 胡氏婦人方 [2] Unidentifiable author of the → Hu shi ji yin fang 胡氏濟陰方
[1] In a case record by LSZ himself, this is a wife of → Jing mu wang 荆穆王, from the Hu 胡 clan, who suffered from unbearable heart pain.
[2] In → Hu shi fang 胡氏方 , this is → Hu Ying 胡濙, author of the → Wei sheng yi jian fang 衛生易簡方. A recipe by a Mr. Hu called “life-seizing powder” (duo ming san 奪命散) that LSZ cites from the → San yin fang 三因方 is not found in that text. The Wei sheng yi jian fang has the same recipe but with a different name, so probably LSZ’s quotation is a mixture of the Wei sheng yi jian fang material and other texts. Hu shi fang 胡氏方, “recipes of Mr. Hu” [1] → Hu shi fu ren fang 胡氏婦人方
[1] In connection with a recipe for soft pimples (ruan jie 軟癤) in SE shi hui 石灰, this is the → Wei sheng yi jian fang 衛生易簡方. Hu shi fu ren fang 胡氏婦人方, “Mr. Hu’s recipes for Women” Song 宋 or pre-Song book on women’s medicine. The → Fu ren liang fang 婦人 良方 attributes a “sweat-stopping pill” (zhi han san 止汗散) to one Hu shi 胡氏, “Mr. Hu.” Recipes associated with a Mr. Hu in the Fu ren liang fang go back to a Hu shi bao qing ji 胡氏寶慶方, “Mr. Hu’s Recipes Treasured for Good Fortune,” by an unidentifiable person of that name. LSZ cites the same recipe second hand as from a Hu shi fu ren fang [1] for the treatment of postpartum sweating without giving the source of the material and without listing such a text in his bibliography. He also refers to the text as Hu shi fang, “Recipes of Mr. Hu,” [1] and attributes another postpartum recipe from the Fu ren liang fang to Hu shi [1]. Hu shi ji yin fang 胡氏濟陰方, “Mr. Hu’s recipes to Benefit the yin” Collection of gynecological recipes. See bibliography of the BCGM. The author’s name and other details are unavailable. LSZ cites the book as Hu shi ji yin fang [2] in his bibliographical sections and the main text, and as Ji yin fang 濟陰方, “Recipes to Benefit the Yin,” [1]. Hu Shike 胡仕可 [1] Yuan 元 dynasty medical official. Style name Kedan 可丹, a man of Yi feng 宜豐 in present-day Jiang xi 江西. Author of the → Ben cao ge kuo 本草歌括. Hu Sihui 忽思慧 Yuan 元 dynasty court dietician for several reigns during the early 14th century. Possibly of Turkic origin since his name may be Turkic, and he was certainly fa-
189 miliar with Turkic vocabulary and culture. He seems to have collaborated with various other people, some of them foreigners and possibly including one Tibetan, in producing the → Yin shan zheng yao 飲膳正要. LSZ refers to him as Hu Sihui [1] and as Hu shi 忽氏, “Mr. Hu,” [1]. Hu yan 胡演 Ming 明 or pre-Ming Daoist. Further details are unavailable. Author of the → Sheng lian dan yao mi jue 昇煉丹藥秘訣. Hu yang gong zhu 湖陽公主, “Princess of Hu yang” [2] Name of a patient. In SE zhi 枳, LSZ cites a story second hand from the → Du Ren fang 杜壬方 about the treatment of a Hu yang gong zhu for difficult birth, with a recipe including zhi qiao 枳殼. This citation originates from the → ZLBC, which refers to a Hu yang gong zhu 胡陽公主 instead. → Zhu Zhenheng 朱震 亨, in his → Ge zhi yu lun 格致餘論, writes the princess’s name Hu yang gong zhu 湖陽公主, and LSZ takes this over. The identity of any Hu yang gong zhu remains uncertain, we may only say that she was a Song 宋 or pre-Song person, since → Du Ren 杜壬 was a man of the 11th century. Hu yang gong zhu 湖陽 公主 is usually a reference to the elder sister of the Eastern Han 漢 emperor Guang Wu di 光武帝, but there is no textual evidence for the herb zhi qiao in Han times. Hu ying 胡濙 (1375-1463) Ming 明 dynasty official. Style name Yuanjie 源洁, literary name Jieyan 洁庵, “Pure Hut.” A man of Wu jin 武進 in present-day Jiang su 江蘇, jin shi 1400. Empowered as Minister of Rites (li bu shang shu 禮部尚書), Hu toured the country as part of his official duties and collected medical books along the way. Based on this material, he wrote the → Wei sheng yi jian fang 衛生易簡方 and other books. Hu yongzhi 胡用之 [1] Northern Song 宋 official positioned in Deng zhou 鄧州. According to the → Lei bian 類編, he once suggested the application of chen sha 辰砂 to cure a case of frequent dreaming. LSZ cites this second hand in SE zhu sha 朱砂. Hu yun’ao 胡雲翱 [1] Medical writer, about whom no biographical details are available. Author of the → Lao zhai fang 勞瘵方 . Judging from one recipe mentioned in the fragment cited from this work, he probably lived during Northern Song 宋 times or later. Hu Zai 胡仔 (c. 1095-1170) [2] Southern Song 宋 literary scholar. Style name Yuanren 元任. A man of Ji xi 績 溪 in Hui zhou 徽州, now part of An hui 安徽. He first received a court post by sponsorship and later on held various other court and regional offices. After retirement he went to live in Hu zhou 湖州, now Wu xing 吳興 in Zhe jiang 浙 江, and adopted the literary name Tiaoxi yuyin 苕溪漁隱, “Fisherman Hermit of Tiao xi.” He wrote many books, of which LSZ cites his → Yu yin cong hua 漁 隱叢話.
190 Hu zhuo shi 壺涿氏, “Gentleman for Sprinkling from the Pot” [3] Official post recorded in the Minister of Justice in the Autumn Office (qiu guan si kou 秋官司寇) section of the → Zhou li 周禮, in charge of eliminating “water bugs” (shui chong 水蟲), i.e., mythical creatures such as “water foxes” (shui hu 水 狐) and “water worms” (shui yu 水蜮). Hua 華 → Hua Tuo 華佗 Hua Boren 滑伯仁 → Hua Shou 滑壽 Hua Cui 花翠 [1] Southern Song 宋 person, a servant girl of the family of → Liu Qingxiao 劉清 嘯, a musician from Yi chang 益昌. She loved to eat uncooked rice and eventually became ill-nourished and emaciated with her complexion assuming a withered, yellow color. She was cured by the supervisor of a public pharmacy (→ Zhao yin 趙尹) with pills made of cang zhu 蒼术. This story is recorded in the → Yang shi jia cang fang 楊氏家藏方 and taken over by LSZ in SE zhu 术. However, LSZ erroneously identifies Hua Cui as a prostitute. Hua gong 化公 [2] Sui 隋 dynasty person. Details about his life are unavailable. The → Tang ben cao 唐本草 states that the substance shi nao 石腦 had been consumed by one Hua gong of Sui and was therefore also called hua gong shi 化公石, “Mineral of Hua gong.” LSZ mentions him in SE shi nao 石腦. Hua lao 華老, “Old Man Hua” [1] Ming 明 dynasty person, a contemporary of LSZ. Personal name unknown. LSZ cites one of his own cases, in which he saves Hua from dying by treating his severe dysentery and abdominal pains with yan hu suo 延胡索. Hua mu ji 花木記, “records of Flowers and Trees” [1] Lost work by the Tang 唐 writer and official → Li Deyu 李德裕. Fragments are found in various works like the → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎 or the → Shuo fu 説 郛.

FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Author uncertain, sometimes attributed to the Tang 唐 hermit Lu Hong 盧鴻 (AV Lu Hongyi 盧鴻一, fl. 713-741). 1 juan. Fragments are found in the → Tai ping huan yu ji 太平寰宇記 and other books. The → ZLBC also quotes a section. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not quote any material from it in his main text. Hua Shou 滑壽 (14th century) Late Yuan 元, early Ming 明 dynasty medical scholar. Style name Boren 伯 仁, later literary name Yingning sheng 攖寧生, “Gentleman of Ying ning.” His family was originally from Xiang cheng 襄城 in present-day He nan 河南, but
191 his paternal grandfather moved toYi zheng 儀征, now in Jiang su 江蘇, and the family followed. Hua’s books include the Du Su wen chao 讀素問鈔, “Notes Taken While Reading the Su wen,” the Nan jing ben yi 難經本義, “The Original Meanings of the Nan jing,” the Zhen jia shu yao 診家樞要, “Key Points for Diagnosticians,” the Shi si jing fa hui 十四經發揮, “Elaborations on the 14 Classics,” the Yi xue yin gou 醫學引彀, “Drawing the Bow of Medical Studies to the Full,” and the Ying ning sheng wu zang bu xie xin yao 櫻寧生五臟補瀉心要, “Core Essentials for Supplementing or Draining the Five Long-Term Depots by an Active but Calm Life.” LSZ cites the latter as → Ying ning xin yao 攖寧心要 and also uses Hua’s annotations to the → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問 from the Du Su wen chao. LSZ refers to Hua as Hua Shou [1] and as Hua Boren 滑伯仁 [2]. Hua shu 化書, “Book of Transformations” Five Dynasties/Ten Kingdoms period book. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文 志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Attributed to → Song Qiqiu 宋齊丘 of Southern Tang 唐, by later scholars to Tan Qiao 譚峭 (→ Tan zi 譚子), preface by Song Qiqiu. AN therefore Tan zi hua shu 譚子化書, “Master Tan’s Book of Transformations.” 6 juan. The book is divided into 6 sections, each one devoted to one kind of transformation (hua 化). These are mainly Daoist concepts that trace the origin of all things back to emptiness (xu 虛). The → ZLBC cites two fragments on plant grafting. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text as Hua shu [4], referring it to Song Qiqiu in most cases. In other places, however, he refers it to Tan Qiao, citing the text as Tan zi hua shu [2] or simply as Tan zi [1]. Hua Tuo 華佗 (died 208) Famous physician of late Han 漢 times and the Three Kingdoms period. Style name Yuanhua 元化. A man of Qiao xian 譙縣 in Pei guo 沛國, now Bo zhou 亳州 in An hui 安徽. Hua, numerous biographies and case studies of whose are preserved in early sources, was a specialist in nourishing one’s nature (yang xing 養性) and related arts, which included medical knowledge on pharmacology and surgical techniques. He also developed early Chinese dao yin 導引 practices such as the exercises of the five animals. He and his disciples, including → Wu Pu 吳 普 and → Li Dangzhi 李當之, are associated with the circle that may have produced the → Ming yi bie lu 名醫別錄 as well as numerous other medical works, some of them materia medica texts. Books like the → Hua Tuo fang 華佗方 and the → Zhong zang jing 中藏經 are (falsely) attributed to Hua Tuo, and the → Wu Pu ben cao 吳普本草 quotes a treatise on drug characteristics by Hua. Other works that quote medical recipes attributed to Hua include the → Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急方, the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方, and the → ZLBC. LSZ quotes from such sources, referring to Hua Tuo as Hua Tuo [21], as Hua 華 [1], as Tuo 佗 [6], or as Yuanhua [1]. Occasionally Li writes his name Hua Tuo 華 陀 [8] by mistake. He also refers to a → Hua Tuo wei bing fang 華佗危病方 [3], and to a Hua Tuo jiu zu bing fang 華佗救卒病方, “Hua Tuo’s Recipes for Aiding Sudden Diseases,” [1], all of which we know little about. Most probably these are also fake attributions with Hua Tuo’s name as part of the title.
192 Hua Tuo 華陀 → Hua Tuo 華佗 Hua Tuo bie zhuan 華佗別傳, “Supplementary Biography of HuaTuo” [1] Title of a book chapter. Originally part of juan 29 of the Wei zhi 魏志, “Records of Wei,” (→ San guo zhi 三國志) expanded by Pei Songzhi 裴鬆之, the biography was called Tuo bie zhuan 佗別傳, “Supplementary Biography of Tuo.” The same text is referred to as Hua Tuo bie zhuan in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, so LSZ must have taken the material he cites in SE gou 狗 from there. Hua Tuo fang 華佗方, “recipes of Hua Tuo” [5] Recipe book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Attributed to → Hua Tuo 華佗.

Hua Tuo jiu zu bing fang 華佗救卒病方 → Hua Tuo 華佗 Hua Tuo wei bing fang 華佗危病方, “Hua Tuo’s recipes for [the Treatment of ] dangerous diseases” [3] Name of a book. The title is not listed in any any of the standard bibliographies or the bibliographical sections of the BCGM. No book prior to the Ming 明 cites a text of this name, so is can be assumed that the Hua Tuo wei bing fang was a Ming dynasty work that assumed the name of → Hua Tuo 華佗 for authorship.

The book describes historical events from ancient times to Eastern Jin 晉 in the old Ba 巴 and Shu 蜀 areas and contains information on products from this part of China. The author was a man of Jiang yuan 江原, now in Si chuan, who knew the area well.

The work was originally divided into 21 inner chapters (nei pian 内篇) and 33 outer chapters (wai pian 外篇), the latter consisting of the → Huai nan wan bi shu 淮南萬畢術. The inner chapters focused on Daoist philosophy, the outer ones on various topics. Today only the 21 inner chapters survive, they focus upon Daoist issues but also provide a syncretism of other philosophical movements like Confucianism,
194 Mohism, or the School of Yin and Yang. The annotated version by → Gao You 高誘 called → Huai nan zi hong lie jie 淮南子鴻烈解 is the edition LSZ took his material from. LSZ refers to the text as Huai nan zi [52] and as Huai nan 淮 南 [2]. He also frequently quotes the Huai nan wan bi shu and occasionally the Huai nan zi hong lie jie directly. Huai nan zi hong lie jie 淮南子鴻烈解, “Explanations to the Great Brilliance of the Master of Huai nan” This is an Eastern Han 漢 commentary to the → Huai nan zi 淮南子 by → Gao You 高誘.

He advised him to climb a high mountain carrying evodia fruit on his belt and to ingest wine with chrysanthemum flowers to ward off the disaster. LSZ takes this story over in SE wu zhu yu 吳茱萸, referring to Huan as Huan Jing [1] and Jing 景 [1]. Huan Kuan 桓寬 Western Han 漢 official. Style name Cigong 次公. He was a man of Ru nan 汝 南 in present-day He nan 河南 and held different court and regional posts. Later he was ordered by Emperor Xuan 宣 of Han (r. 73-49 BCE) to assemble the textual remains of the salt and iron monopoly debates of 81 BCE to produce the → Yan tie lun 鹽鐵論.

Huang di 黃帝, “yellow Thearch” Chinese culture hero, legendary common ancestor, considered the founder of Chinese medicine. Named Xuanyuan 軒轅 after the place where he is assumed to have lived. He is the central figure of the → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問 and the parallel Huang di ling shu 黃帝靈樞, “Numinous Pivot of the Yellow Thearch” (→ Ling shu jing 靈樞經), which together make up the Huang di nei jing 黃帝 內經, “Inner Classic of the Yellow Thearch.” Huang di there appears in dialogue with → Qi Bo 岐伯 and others. Apart from citing these books, LSZ refers to the Yellow Thearch separately as Huang di [24], Xuanyuan [2], or Xuanyuan shi 軒轅氏, “Master Xuanyuan,” [1], or using the shortened names Huang 黃 [1] or Xuan 軒 [3] in connection with Qi 岐.

196 ing from the Qin 秦 and Han 漢 dynasties. Originally 9 juan (juan 7 was lost during Jin 晉 times) and 81 chapters. The text is comprised of dialogues between → Huang di 黃帝 and an otherwise unknown → Qi Bo 岐伯 and others, thus the name of Huang di in the title. The dialogues discuss the fundamentals of Chinese medicine, like the role of yin and yang, the five phases, anatomy, conduits and network vessels, and disease signs. The Huang di su wen and a parallel text, the → Ling shu jing 靈樞經 together constitute the Nei jing 內經, “Inner Classic,” as a whole. The edition of the Su wen currently in use, as printed and re-edited in Song 宋 times, is based upon the 762 edition of → Wang Bing 王 冰. Wang Bing, in addition to adding extensive notes, inserted 7 chapters on the doctrine of the “five periods and six qi” (wu yun liu qi 五運六氣) that were presumably compiled during the Han dynasty, producing an edition of 24 juan and 81 chapters. Only fragments survive now of Wang’s original. LSZ quotes the book as Huang di su wen [1] and frequently as Su wen 素問, “Basic Questions,” [86]. He also refers to it as Nei jing [10], as Jing 經, “Classic,” [16], or (in connection with Ling 靈 for the Ling shu jing) as Su 素, “Basic,” [1]. Theoretical discussions on the principles of medicine captioned with Qi Bo [19] (but not the material on pharmaceutics labeled with his name) are also from the Su wen. In addition, LSZ refers to individual chapters of the Su wen by name, i.e., to the Yin yang ying xiang lun 陰陽應象論, “Comprehensive Discourse on Phenomena Corresponding to Yin and Yang,” [2], the Yi fa fang yi lun 異法方宜 論, “Discourse on Different [Therapeutic] Patterns Suitable for [Use in Different] Cardinal Points,” [1], the Zhi zhen yao da lun 至真要大論, “Comprehensive Discourse on the Essentials of the Most Reliable,” [1], the Liu jie zang xiang lun 六節臟象論, “Discourse on the Six Terms [of a Year] and on Phenomena [Associated with the Condition] of the Long-Term Depots,” [1], and the Bing neng lun 病能論, “Discourse on Disease Manifestations,” [1]. Huang dian shi 黃典史, “Clerk Huang” [1] This is a man called Huang Ren’e 黃仁鍔, an early Northern Song 宋 unranked subofficial. He is said to once have suffered from red eyes and loss of vision, when in his dreams a spirit appeared and gave him the appropriate recipe.

Juan 1 to 6 explain the world’s order and disorder according to the 64 hexagrams of the → Zhou yi 周易 (Book of Changes), and juan 7 to 10 discuss phonological categories. These parts are considered the “Inner Chapters” (nei pian 内篇) of the book. The last two juan, called the Guan wu wai pian 觀物外篇, “Outer Chapters on the Observations of Things,” were written by a disciple of Shao Yong. The book uses the trigrams and hexagrams of the Book of Changes to establish the numerological system of Shao Yong’s cosmological philosophy. It was extremely influential during the Ming 明 dynasty. LSZ lists the title in his bibliographical sections, but the passage from the book quoted in the main text is labeled with the author’s name Shao zi 邵子, “Master Shao,” [1], and not the book’s title. Huang Jian 黃戩 Early Southern Song 宋 official. The → San yuan yan shou shu 三元延壽書 states that he prolonged his life by never consuming vinegar.

Once when he suffered from panting and cough with phlegm, he met a Daoist who cured him with a “powder with gallnut and alum” (wu fan san 五礬散). LSZ cites this recipe in SE wu wei zi 五味子 but erroneously changes the original ingredient wu bei zi 五倍子 to wu wei zi.

In the → Za lu 雜錄 , → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 claims that the immortal drank tea to lighten the body and exchange his bones, a story that LSZ considers an exaggeration and error. Huang Shangu 黃山谷 → Huang Tingjian 黃庭堅 Huang Shangu ji 黃山谷集, “Collection of Huang Shangu” This is LSZ’s name for the Shangu ji 山谷集, “Collection of [Huang] Shangu,” the literary collection of → Huang Tingjian 黃庭堅 of Northern Song 宋. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” The anthology consists of an inner collection (nei ji 内集) in 30 juan, an outer collection (wai ji 外集) in 14 juan, a separate collection (bie ji 別集) in 20 juan, 1 juan of ci 詞 poetry, 2 juan of correspondence, and 3 juan of biographical annals (nian pu 年譜). It was compiled by Huang Tingjian’s nephew Huang Hongyan 黃洪炎 and others. LSZ cites the work as Huang Shangu
198 ji [2], and in the main text under Huang’s literary name Huang Shangu 黃山谷 [6]. The Ku sun fu 苦筍賦, “Rhapsody on Bitter Bamboo Shoots,” [1], cited separately, is also from this collection.

He was widely learned in literature and also possessed knowledge on economics, agriculture, and livestock raising. The numerous books he wrote cover a broad range of topics like history, literature, China’s foreign relations, or agricultural science. His agricultural books include the Can jing 蠶經, “Silkworm Classic,” the Yu jing 魚經, “Fish Classic,” and the → Shou jing 獸經. LSZ lists the last work in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it in the main text. Huang shi 黃氏, “Mr. Huang” [1] In the BCGM bibliography this is LSZ’s designation for Huang Jizhi 黃 濟之 (fl. 2nd half of the 15th century), a Ming 明 dynasty physician and author of the → Ben cao quan du 本草權度. Style name Shiren 世仁, a man of Yu yao 余姚 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江. [1] In Huang shi yun hui 黃氏韻會, “Mr. Huang’s Collection of Rhymes,” this is → Huang Gongshao 黃公紹.
[1] In SE e 鶚, LSZ refers to a Mr. Huang who mistook a fish hawk (ju jiu 雎鳩) for a cuckoo (du juan 杜鵑). Searching for a person proposing this interpretation we find the Song 宋 author Qian Wenzi 錢文子 in his Shi xun gu 詩 訓詁, “Exegesis of the Shi jing,” (AN Qian shi xun gu 錢氏訓詁, “Exegesis of Mr. Qian”), so possibly LSZ’s Huang shi is an error for Qian shi 錢氏, “Mr. Qian.” Huang shi mu 黃氏母, “Mr. Huang’s Mother” [1] Eastern Han 漢 person, said to have lived during the time of emperor → Ling di 靈帝. From Jiang xia 江夏, now Wu han 武漢 in Hu bei 湖北. Mother of a Mr. Huang 黃, her full name is unknown.

In the main text he cites the work as Yu hua 餘話, “Extra Talks,” [1]. Hui zong 徽宗 → Song Hui zong 宋徽宗 Hui’an yu lu 晦庵語錄, “records of Conversations with [Zhu] Hui’an” [1] Southern Song 宋 book. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” The book is a collection of sayings of the philosopher Zhu Xi 朱熹 (→ Zhu zi 朱子, literary name Hui’an 晦庵) as recorded by 32 of his disciples, compiled by Li Daozhuan 李道傳 in the Jiu jiang 九江 area. 46 juan. In addition to this book, there is another of the same name in 1 juan by Tong Boyu 童伯羽, but that title was changed during the Ming 明 dynasty to Yu xi shi zhuan lu 玉溪師傳錄, “Transmitted Records of the Teacher from Yu xi.” LSZ does not list any Hui’an yu lu in his bibliographical sections, but in his main text quotes material second hand from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, which labels that material Zhu Hui’an yu lu 朱晦菴語錄, “Records of Conversations with Zhu Hui’an.” It can therefore be assumed that LSZ never saw the original Hui’an yu lu. Huiji fo 穢跡佛 [2] Deity revered by the people of Song 宋 times. According to the → Lei bian 類 編, a man called Liang Hun 梁緄 (→ Liang Gun 梁混) once suffered from pain in his heart and spleen, and prayed to the god Huiji shen 穢跡神 for help. In response he was transmitted a recipe that cured him after taking only one dose. LSZ cites this story second hand in his main text but writes Huiji fo instead of Huiji shen. Hun huang zi 渾皇子, “Prince Hun” [2] Spring and Autumn period immortal. According to the → Zuo ci mi jue 左慈秘 訣, he was the inventor of an “elixir with apricot gold” (xing jin dan 杏金丹) used by → Xia ji 夏姬 to achieve longevity. LSZ cites this in SE xing 杏.
202 Huo fa ji yao 活法機要, “Crucial Points of the Laws of Life” [25] Clinical text. FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” Written by → Li Gao 李杲. DC Yuan 元. 1 juan. The book is extremely similar to the → Bing ji qi yi bao ming ji 病機氣宜保命集 of → Liu Wansu 劉完 素, even though it lacks Liu’s general introduction and focuses on disease signs, treatment methods and drug application rather. LSZ mistakenly considers Huo fa ji yao and Bing ji qi yi bao ming ji two names for one and the same book and therefore frequently labels the Huo fa ji yao with the name Zhang Jiegu 張潔古 or Jiegu 潔古 for → Zhang Yuansu 張元素, to whom he wrongly attributes the Bing ji qi yi bao ming ji. Only once does he caption the Huo fa ji yao with Li’s literary name Dongyuan 東垣.

FE Wen yuan ge shu mu 文淵閣書目, “Catalogue of the Erudite Literature Pavilion.” Compiled by → Li Zhixian 李知先. DC 1166. 3 juan (AV 4 juan). The book is based on the → Nan yang huo ren shu 南陽活人書 of → Zhu Gong 朱 肱. It sums up the latter book’s essential points, creating a text with mnemonic poems for each pathological condition. LSZ refers to the book as Huo ren shu kuo [1] in his bibliographical sections and by the name of the author Li Zhixian [1] in the main text. Huo ren xin tong 活人心統, “Core Compendium for Saving People’s Lives” Ming 明 dynasty comprehensive clinical text. FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂 書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by → Wu Qiu 吳球. DC 1539. 4 juan. Juan 1 provides an overview of medicine and pharmaceutics consisting of 58 essays. The other 3 juan are divided into chapters on various diseases, each chapter containing a discourse on the disease itself as well as suitable treatment methods and pharmaceutical recipes. The material is closely modeled after the discussion in the → Yi xue zheng chuan 醫學正傳 of → Yu Tuan 虞摶. Before the Qing 清 dynasty, the Huo ren xin tong did not circulate very widely, but in spite of that LSZ quotes from it a great deal. He cites the book as Huo ren xin tong [19], as Wu shi xin tong 吳氏心統, “Core Compendium of Mr. Wu,” [1], and as Xin tong 心統, “Core Compendium,” [1]. He also refers to the author Wu Qiu without giving the name of a book, but, since LSZ also cites other books by Wu, this is not necessarily material from the Huo ren xin tong. Huo weng 霍翁 → Hao Yun 郝允 Huo you kou yi 活幼口議, “Verbalized Views on Saving Children’s Lives” Yuan 元 dynasty pediatric text.

203 kou yi is first cited in the → Yong lei qian fang 永類鈐方 (DC 1316), so the text can be dated to the Yuan dynasty. The contents mainly focus on pediatric theory but also discuss the differentiation and treatment of disease signs. LSZ cites the book as Huo you kou yi [12] or using the author’s name Yanshan shi 演山氏, “Mr. Yanshan,” [1].

Qian collected what he considered to be effective and special recipes from existing material and then asked Wu to write a preface. Wu then revised the material, selecting the best recipes and improving its organization. LSZ cites the book in his main text and bibliographical sections, but does not give the author’s name there. He does refer once to a Huo you quan shu of → Zeng Shirong 曾世榮, but this material is actually from Zeng’s → Huo you xin shu 活幼心書. Since none of the other material labeled Huo you quan shu has any connection to the Huo you xin shu, the reference to a Huo you quan shu of Zeng Shirong is most probably a slip of the pen.

Of the text, juan 1 is comprised of 75 poems about how to determine disease signs in children, juan 2 discusses causes for disease, and juan 3 consists of collected recipes considered effective by the author and instructions for the preparation of patent medicines. LSZ cites the book as Huo you xin shu [4], as Zeng shi xiao er fang 曾氏小兒方, “Mr. Zeng’s Recipes for [the Treatment of ] Children,” [1], as Zeng shi fang 曾氏方, “Recipes of Mr. Zeng,” [1], and using the author’s name as Zeng Shirong [1]. Additionally, there is an erroneous reference to a → Huo you quan shu 活幼全書 [1] of Zeng Shirong but the material quoted was actually taken from the Huo you xin shu as well, and quan shu 全書 seems to be a slip of the pen for xin shu 心書. Material quoted from a → Huo you xin shu 活幼新書 originates from the → You you xin shu 幼幼新書 and not this text.

Ji Huan zi 季桓子, “Master Ji Huan” (died 492) [1] Spring and Autumn period Grand Master (da fu 大夫) from the state of Lu 魯. Also called Ji Sunsi (AV Jisun Si) 季孫斯, Huan was his posthumous name. The → Guo yu 國語, section Lu yu 魯語, “Talks from Lu,” records the story of Ji Huan zi who once dug a well and discovered a “spirit goat/sheep” (fen yang 羵 羊).

The text presents simple and convenient folk remedies organized into 39 disease categories. It was intended for emergency use in out-of-the-way places by those not having a deep understanding of medicine. LSZ cites the book as Ji jiu liang fang [4] without indicating an author in his bibliographical sections. He also cites the book as Ji jiu fang 急救 方, “Recipes for Emergency Rescue,” [5], probably erroneously as → Jiu ji liang fang 救急良方 [7], or as Jiu ji fang 救急方, “Recipes for Rescue in Emergencies.” This confuses the book with other texts of the title → Jiu ji fang 救急方, cited in the BCGM from the → ZLBC and the → Pu ji fang 普濟方.

The title derives from the two characters ji 急 and jiu 就 in the first sentence of the book. The Jun zhai du shu zhi 郡齋讀書志, “Catalogue of Books Read at the Prefectural Study,” explains that this relates to the fact that when encountering difficulties in understanding a character, one might swiftly seek it in the Ji jiu zhang and accomplish an understanding easily. The work currently survives as 34 essays (zhang 章) on subjects like names, utensils, clothing, etc. It is composed of rhymed phrases in sentences of three, four, or seven characters each, and there is no duplication of entries.

The end of juan 3 in the Sanfeng Zhang zhenren shen su wan ying fang is marked as juan 3 of a Sun shi ji xiao fang 孫氏集效方, “Collected Efficacious Recipes of Mr. Sun,” thus we know that these two titles actually refer to the same book.

221 陳彭年. 1 juan (AV 4 juan). The book is intended to supplement the earlier → Jiang nan lu 江南錄 by adding further material on the Southern Tang 唐 dynasty. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it directly in the main text. He does, however, quote one fragment of the earlier Jiang nan lu second-hand, taking his quotation from the Jiang nan bie lu. Jiang nan lu 江南錄, “record of the Jiang nan area” [1] Lost Song 宋 dynasty historical work. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by → Xu Xuan 徐鉉, Tang Yue 湯悅, and others. DC reign of → Song Tai zong 宋太宗 (976-997). The book describes the history of Southern Tang 唐. Part of its contents are preserved in the → Jiang nan bie lu 江南別錄 of → Chen Pengnian 陳彭年. LSZ does not list the work in his bibliographical sections but cites the work in his main text, taking his material from the Jiang nan bie lu and not from the original. Jiang nan yi wen lu 江南異聞錄 → Jiang Huai yi ren lu 江淮異人錄 Jiang shi 姜氏 → Chen Zihuang 陳子皇 Jiang Shixian 蔣士先 [1] Eastern Jin 晉 person. According to the → Sou shen ji 搜神記, Jiang Shixian once was attacked with gu 蠱 poison and discharged blood. A treatment with rang he 蘘荷 made him realize that the gu had been planted by a man called → Zhang Xiao 張小. LSZ cites this in SE rang he 蘘荷. Jiang tai gong 姜太公 This is Lü Shang 呂尚 or Jiang Ziya 姜子牙, the founding ancestor of the state of Qi 齊 at the beginning of the Western Zhou 周 dynasty. It is said that his surname was Jiang 姜 and that he was from the clan of Lü 呂. His personal name was Wang 望, and some consider Ziya 子牙 his style name. He is commonly known as Jiang tai gong. During the early Zhou, he held the post of Grand Preceptor (tai shi 太師) and assisted King Wu 武 of Zhou in eliminating the Shang 商. Legend has it that he invented coins. LSZ refers to him as Jiang tai gong [1] and Zhou tai gong 周太公 [1]. Jiang yan 江淹 (444-505) [2] Scholar of the Southern Dynasties period. Style name Wentong 文通, a man of Kao cheng 考城 in Ji yang 濟陽, in the northeast of present-day Min quan 民權 in He nan 河南. He served during the Liu Song 劉宋, Qi 齊, and Liang 梁 dynasties and rose to a high court office. In his early years Jiang was known for his literary work, but his late poems apparently did not live up to his earlier works, therefore people thought he had used up his talent. He left behind a literary collection, the Jiang Wentong ji 江文通集, “Collection of Jiang Wentong,” which LSZ cites as → Jiang Yan ji 江淹集. Jiang Yan ji 江淹集, “Collection of Jiang yan” Liang 梁 dynasty book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” AN Jiang Wentong ji 江文通集, “Collection of Jiang Wentong.” Written by → Jiang Yan 江淹. 10 juan plus a later collection 10 juan. Today only a total of 10 juan in the printed Song 宋 volume survive. This
222 comprises 2 juan each of fu 賦 and shi 詩 poetry and 6 juan of other writings. Jiang Yan’s writings are also found in various Tang 唐 and Song collections. The → ZLBC also cites one text, the Huang lian song 黃連頌, “Ode on the Goldthread Root.” LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections and takes over the Huang lian song [1] from the ZLBC. He also cites Jiang’s Shi jie fu 石蜐賦, “Rhapsody on the Goose Barnacles,” [1], but the sentence quoted is actually a mixture of material from the Jiang Yan ji and material from the → Nan yue zhi 南越志. Jiang yaxiang 蔣亞香 [1] Man of the early Ming 明 dynasty, about whom nothing is known. Tan Lun 談 綸 (→ Tan Yeweng 談野翁) quotes a recipe by Jiang Yaxiang in his Shi yan xiao fang 試驗小方 (→ Shi yan fang 試驗方). Jiang yuan 姜源 → Jiang Yuan 姜嫄 Jiang yuan 姜嫄 Person of ancient times, also written Jiang Yuan 姜原. Legend has it that she was the mother of → Hou Ji 后稷, the progenitor of the Zhou 周 dynasty lineage. Once she saw the foot steps of a giant, and when she stepped into them she fell pregnant. Eventually she gave birth to a child and called it Qi 棄, the later Hou Ji. LSZ cites this story in SE ren gui 人傀 but writes her name Jiang Yuan 姜源 [1]. Jianqing 鑒清 [1] Northern Song 宋 monk and medical specialist. A man of Jiang xi 江西, good at treating “back effusion” (fa bei 發背). He was approached by → Shen Gua 沈 括 for details about the effects of honeysuckle vine (cf. → Wang Qi 王琪). No further details available. LSZ mentions him in SE ren dong 忍冬. Jiao qi lun 腳氣論, “discourse on Leg Qi” [3] A specialized book on “leg qi” (jiao qi 腳氣). Fragments are quoted in the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 and the → Hai yao ben cao 海藥本草, but neither of these sources indicates an author. DC Tang 唐 or before. LSZ refers the Jiao qi lun to the monk → Shen shi 深師 in his bibliographical sections, stating that this is the same person as an unidentifiable → Mei shi 梅師, to whom he assigns the Jiao qi lun in the main text. The text quoted there is the same as quoted from the Jiao qi lun in the Hai yao ben cao. LSZ might have attributed the Jiao qi lun to Shen shi because he knew that the monk was a specialist at treating leg qi. Jiao si ge 郊祀歌 → Han shu 漢書 Jiao si zhi 郊祀志 → Han shu 漢書 Jiao Xicheng 焦希程 [2] Ming 明 dynasty official. A man of Mi yang 泌陽 in He nan 河南, provincial graduate (ju ren 舉人) in 1519. He held various minor military posts. The Si ku quan shu 四庫全書, “Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” claims that Jiao Xicheng is the same man as Zhou Xicheng 周希程, but comparing biographies it seems that Zhou and Jiao were actually two contemporaries of
223 the same given name. LSZ lists a Jiao Xicheng ji 焦希程集 in his bibliographical sections and quotes a poem by Jiao. Jiao Xicheng ji 焦希程集, “Collection of Jiao Xicheng” [1] Ming 明 dynasty literary collection. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Jiao Xicheng 焦希程. DC c. 1557. The book is not mentioned in Ming and Qing 清 standard bibliographies. LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections. Even though he does not cite the work directly in the main text, he does refer to a poem about a petrified tree by Jiao Xicheng, dating its composition to the year 1557. Jiao zhou di zhi 交州地志 → Jiao zhou ji 交州記 Jiao zhou ji 交州記, “records of Jiao zhou” Lost Eastern Jin 晉 geographical text. EE → Qi min yao shu 齊民要術. AN Jiao zhou zhi 交州志, “Monograph on Jiao Zhou.” Written by → Liu Xinqi 劉欣期. The book details the geography and scenery of Jiao zhou 交州, that is, Guang dong 廣東, most of Guang xi 廣西, and parts of Vietnam. Fragments are found in many books, e.g. the Qi min yao shu, the → Shui jing zhu 水經注, the → Bei tang shu chao 北堂書鈔, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → Yi wen lei ju 藝 文類聚, the → ZLBC, and others. LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections and quotes the work second hand from various sources as Jiao zhou ji [14] and as Jiao zhou zhi 交州志 [1]. One reference to a Jiao zhou di zhi 交州地志, “Local Gazetteer of Jiao zhou,” [1], quoted from the ZLBC, is probably also an error for Jiao zhou ji. Jiao zhou zhi 交州志 → Jiao zhou ji 交州記 Jiaxuan 稼軒 → Xin Jiaxuan 辛稼軒 Jie gong 杰公, “Lord Jie” [4] This is Wan Jie 䨲杰, one of the Liang si gong 梁四公, “Four Lords of Liang,” described in the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記. These were four extremely learned men during the time of Emperor → Liang Wu di 梁武帝. Their conversations with the emperor and his ministers are recorded in the → Liang si gong ji 梁四公記. LSZ also incorrectly refers to a → Liang Jie gong zhuan 梁杰公傳 in connection with Jie gong. Jie gu fang 接骨方, “recipe for Bone-setting” [2] Name of a recipe, not a book. LSZ gives this name as a source of a recipe for curing bone fractures in SE fen xi 粉錫, but this recipe actually originates from the → He ji ju fang 和劑局方, where it is called “powder for bone-setting” (jie gu san 接骨散). In SE diao 鵰, LSZ again cites a Jie gu fang as a source of a recipe to cure bone fractures, but the origin of this recipe remains unclear. Jie Tui 介推 [1] This is Jie Zitui 介子推, a nobleman of the Spring and Autumn period. He followed Duke Wen 文 of Jin 晉 into exile and later lived in the mountains as a recluse. Legend has it that in order to force Jie to receive a reward for his loyalty, Duke Wen set the mountain Jie lived on on fire. Unfortunately, Jie died in the fire, and Duke Wen remorsefully ordered three days without fire to honor Jie’s
224 memory. These are claimed to be the origins of the Cold Food Festival one day before Qing ming 清明 Festival. LSZ does not believe in this story but considers the prohibition of lighting a fire to originate from the theory of the five phases, in which the transition of spring to summer signifies the transformation from wood to fire. Jie xiao fang 皆效方, “Entirely Efficacious recipes” Lost medical recipe book. See bibliography of the BCGM. Attributed by LSZ to an otherwise unknown → Tan xian 坦仙. The supplementary section of the Jing ji fang gu zhi 經籍訪古志, “Catalogue Searching for Ancient Texts,” refers to a one juan appendix of the name Jie xiao fang, but whether this is the same text is uncertain. LSZ cites the text as Jie xiao fang [13] and as Tan xian fang 坦仙方, “Recipes of Tan the Immortal,” [1]. Jie yao 節要, “Essential [recipes] abridged” [1] Source of a recipe, probably not a book. See BCGM. Originally written Ji yao 即 要, “Appended Essential [Recipes]” [1], this was changed to Jie yao 節要 in the Jiang xi 江西 edition of the BCGM. A text titled Jie yao is not listed elsewhere in the BCGM, and the origin of the recipe cited in SE shi 豕 remains to be verified. Jie yi xin yu 解頤新語, “New Talks to Make [People] Smile” [2] Ming 明 dynasty book. FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” Written by Huangfu Fang 皇甫汸. 8 juan. The work is a discussion of poetry. LSZ cites it in his bibliographical sections and the main text without indicating an author. The author Huangfu Fang, style name Zixun 子循, was a man of Chang zhou 長洲, now part of Su zhou 蘇州 in Jiang su 江蘇. He passed the jin shi examinations in 1529 and rose to the post of Assistant Surveillance Commissioner (an cha si qian shi 按察司僉事) of Yun nan 雲南. Huangfu Fang was also the author of a Huangfu si xun ji 皇甫司勳集, “Collection of Huangfu from the Bureau of Merit Titles,” and a Baiquan zi xu lun 百泉子緒論, “Introduction by the Master of the Hundred Springs.” Jie yingchen 揭穎臣 Northern Song 宋 person, also called Yang Yingchen 楊穎臣. A man of Mei shan 眉山, now E mei 峨眉 in Si chuan 四川. When he suffered from “melting with thirst” (xiao ke 消渴), he was cured by the son of Zhang Hongyin 張肱隱 (→ Zhang Hong 張肱) from Si chuan with a preparation of musk and zhi ju 枳椇. LSZ indicates the Su Dongpo ji 蘇東坡集, “Su Dongpo Collection,” (→ Dongpo shi ji 東坡詩集) as his source for this story, but the extant Dongpo quan ji 東坡全集, “Complete Collection of [Su] Dongpo,” does not mention any such event, while many other books such as the → Su Shen liang fang 蘇沈良方, the → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方, and the → Yi shuo 醫説 all record it. LSZ refers to the patient as Jie Yingchen [1] and Yingchen 穎臣 [1] in SE zhi ju 枳椇. Jiegu 潔古 → Zhang Yuansu 張元素
225 Jiegu jia zhen 潔古家珍, “Family Treasures of [Zhang] Jiegu” Clinical text. FE Wen yuan ge shu mu 文淵閣書目, “Catalogue of the Erudite Literature Pavilion.” Written by → Zhang Yuansu 張元素 (style name Jiegu 潔 古). DC uncertain, probably Jin 金 dynasty. 1 juan. The text is contained in the → Ji sheng ba cui fang 濟生拔萃方. Its content is similar to the → Bing ji qi yi bao ming ji 病機氣宜保命集, but briefer and with an emphasis on pharmaceutical treatment of various disease signs. LSZ quotes the book as Jiegu jia zhen [6] and as Jia zhen 家珍, “Family Treasures.” Jiegu yong yao fa xiang 潔古用藥法象 → Yong yao fa xiang 用藥法象 Jiegu zhen zhu nang 潔古珍珠囊, “The Pearl Bag of [Zhang] Jiegu” Jin 金 dynasty text on pharmaceutics. EE → Tang ye ben cao 湯液本草. AN Zhen zhu nang 珍珠囊, “Pearl Bag.” Written by → Zhang Yuansu 張元素 (style name Jiegu 潔古). 1 juan. LSZ praises the book for its differentiation of drug properties such as flavor, ascending and descending (sheng jiang 昇降), or influence on superficial or deep areas and the twelve conduits. He approves of the descriptions of treatment according to disease signs and the way the main ideas as well as specific remedies and secret instructions are transmitted. According to LSZ, it was later generations that created rhymed phrases to facilitate memorization and wrongly attributed the work to Li Dongyuan 李東垣 (→ Li Gao 李杲, → Dongyuan zhen zhu nang 東垣珍珠囊). The book survives as a summary in the → Ji sheng ba cui fang 濟生拔萃方 of → Du Sijing 杜思敬 and in even briefer form in the Tang ye ben cao of → Wang Haogu 王好古. The quotations in the BCGM are somewhat different to the material in these books. Comparison suggests that LSZ might have taken his material from another work by Zhang Yuansu, namely the → Yi xue qi yuan 醫學啟源. He refers such quotations to → Yuansu 元素 [135] or Zhang Yuansu 張元素 [6]. LSZ also refers to the Jiegu zhen zhu nang [3] by name and to the → Zhen zhu nang 珍珠囊 [14]. The origins of references to Jiegu [36] without any mention of a book title remain uncertain. Jiezhai 節齋 → Wang Lun 王綸 Jiezhai yi lun 節齋醫論, “Medical discourses of [Wang] Jiezhai” [1] Lost book on medical theory. FE Wan juan tang shu mu 萬卷堂書目, “Catalogue of the Hall of Ten-thousand Volumes.” Written by → Wang Lun 王綸. DC 1488-1505. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections but quotes one recipe from it in the main text. Jihong 繼洪 Monk and physician of the late Song 宋 or early Yuan 元 dynasty. A man of Ru zhou 汝州, now Lin ru 臨汝 in He nan 河南. During the late Song dynasty, he traveled in the southern areas and afterwards published a revision of the → Ling nan wei sheng fang 嶺南衛生方. He was also the author of the later Dan liao ji yan mi fang 澹寮集驗秘方, “Proven Secret Recipes from the Collection of the Tranquil Hut,” (→ Dan liao fang 澹寮方). LSZ cites him as Jihong [3] and Seng Jihong 僧繼洪, “Monk Jihong,” [2].

The book describes alchemical methods in various literary forms such as poetry, songs, and theoretical discussions. The book circulated separately but is also part of the collection Zhu zhen yuan ao ji cheng 諸真元奧集成, “Complete Collection of the Various Mysteries of the True Origin.” LSZ lists the book as Jin dan da cheng [1] in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it directly in the main text. He does, however, refer material from the work to Xiao Liaozhen [2] directly or to a Jin dan shi 金丹詩, “Poem on the Golden Elixir,” [1] by Xiao Liaozhen. Jin dan shi 金丹詩 → Jin dan da cheng 金丹大成 Jin guang ming jing 金光明經, “Sutra of the Golden Light” [16] Buddhist sutra, famous in Chinese Buddhism. FE Shi wen ji 釋文紀, “Record of Buddhist Texts.” Translated during the Sui 隋 dynasty. There are various versions of different sizes. Only one passage is quoted by the → ZLBC. Since LSZ uses far more material, he must have consulted a version of the original work. Jin Huai 晉懷 (284-313) [1] This is Emperor Huai 懷 of Jin 晉, personal name Sima Chi 司馬熾, r. 306-311. LSZ notes the fact that his reign was a period of anarchy as Western Jin fell, so many documents of the time are lost. Jin Hui di 晉惠帝 (259-307) This is Sima Zhong 司馬衷, emperor of the Western Jin 晉 dynasty, r. 290-307. LSZ recounts events that took place during his reign, referring to the emperor as Jin Hui di [1] and Hui di 惠帝 [1]. Jin Jiqian 靳季謙 [1] Early Ming 明 or pre-Ming person. Details about his life are unavailable. According to a → Hai shang fang 海上方 quoted in the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, he rolled mugwort into wax paper to form a tube, ignited it and fumigated his teeth to end his toothache. LSZ cites this in SE ai 艾. Jin kui 金匱 → Jin kui yao lüe 金匱要略 Jin kui fang 金匱方 → Jin kui yao lüe 金匱要略

Revised in Ming 明 times by → Dai Yuanli 戴原禮. DC uncertain. 3 juan. The text provides brief essentials for the treatment of disease signs in internal medicine, external medicine, gynecology and pediatrics. It is greatly elucidated by Dai’s additions. Jin kui ming fang 金匱名方, “Famous recipes of the Golden Casket” [1] Book of medical recipes. See bibliography of the BCGM. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections only, providing neither author nor DC. The Ming 明 dynasty Qing feng ting gao 清風亭稿, “Drafts from the Pavilion of Noble Characters,” mentions a text called Jin kui ming fang, but whether this is the same book that LSZ is referring to remains uncertain. Jin kui yao lüe 金匱要略, “Essentials of the Golden Casket” Book on miscellaneous diseases. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景. DC c. 3rd century. 3 juan. The work comprised one part of the original Shang han za bing lun 傷寒雜病論, “Discourse on Harm Caused by Cold and Miscellaneous Diseases,” the other part consisting of the → Shang han lun 傷寒 論 . During Northern Song times, the Han lin 翰林 scholar Wang Zhu 王洙 aquired a work called Jin kui yu han yao lüe fang 金匱玉函要略方, “Recipes from the Essentials of the Golden Casket and Jade Case.” This moth-eaten book consisted of three juan, the first differentiating various types of disorders from harm caused by cold (shang han 傷寒), the second consisting of a theoretical discussion of miscellaneous diseases, and the third covering recipes and the treatment of women’s disorders. The text was then edited by the Northern Song 宋 medical bureau: Material from the miscellaneous diseases section down to the dietary prohibitions was arranged into 25 chapters containing 262 recipes, and the new book was called Jin kui yao lüe fang 金匱要略方, “Recipes from the Essentials of the Golden Casket.” LSZ refers to the work as Jin kui yao lüe [37], as Jin kui fang 金匱方, “Recipes from the Golden Casket,” [12], as Jin kui 金匱, “Golden Casket,” [4], and as Jin kui yao lüe fang [2]. Jin kui yao lüe fang 金匱要略方 → Jin kui yao lüe 金匱要略 Jin kui yu han 金匮玉函 → Jin kui yu han fang 金匱玉函方 Jin kui yu han fang 金匱玉函方, “recipes from the Golden Casket and Jade Case” Medical recipe book. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” AN Jin kui yu han jing 金匱玉函經, “Classic of the Golden Casket and Jade Case.” Attributed to → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景, arranged by → Wang Shuhe 王叔和. DC Han 漢. 8 juan. The book is considered a version of the Shang han za bing lun 傷寒雜病論, “Discourse on Harm Caused by Cold and Miscellaneous Diseases,” with a different title. By Northern Song
228 times, material had been added by various authors. → Lin Yi 林億 and others edited the work to produce the present Jin kui yu han jing with 29 chapters and 115 recipes in 1066. LSZ cites the book as Jin kui yu han fang [12], as Jin kui yu han 金匮玉函, “Golden Casket and Jade Case,” [12], and as Jin kui yu han miao fang 金匮玉函妙方, “Miraculous Recipes of the Golden Casket and Jade Case,” [1]. Jin kui yu han miao fang 金匮玉函妙方 → Jin kui yu han fang 金匱玉函方 Jin men ji 金門記, “records of the Golden Gate” [2] Probably the incorrect title of an anonymous book. See bibliography of the BCGM. The book is not mentioned in any other bibliography. LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections and cites a passage on human saliva (shen shui 神 水) from it in the main text. This passage is found in a → Shuo fu 説郛 excerpt from the Yun xian za ji 雲仙雜記, “Miscellaneous Records of the Immortals of the Clouds,” (→ Yun xian lu 雲仙錄), but the latter text indicates a Jin men sui jie 金門歲節, “Years of the Golden Gate,” as the original source of the material. Thus, the title Jin men ji is probably an incorrect designation for that text. The Jin men sui jie is quoted in Ming 明 works like the Dan qian yu lu 丹鉛餘錄, “Extra Records of Cinnabar and Lead,” (→ Dan qian lu 丹鉛錄) and the Shan tang si kao 山堂肆考, “Extended Investigations of the Mountain Hall,” but none of these books indicate an author. The Jin men sui jie itself refers to the Tang figures Jia Dao 賈島 (779-843) and Pei Du 裴度 (765-839). Considering this and the Yun xian za ji’s date of composition (probably beginning of the Southern Song 宋 dynasty), the text can be dated to approximately the 10th or 11th centuries. Jin nang mi lan 錦囊秘覽, “Secret Overview of the Brocade Bag” [2] Medical recipe book. See bibliography of the BCGM. No details available. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographcial sections and cites one recipe in the main text. He also refers to a Mi lan 秘覽, “Secret Overview,” [1], but this abbreviation might also refer to the → Ji sheng mi lan 濟生秘覽. Since both texts are now lost, it is impossible to say which book the quotation is from. Jin nang shi 錦囊詩 → Jin nang shi dui 錦囊詩對 Jin nang shi dui 錦囊詩對, “answers on Poetry from the Brocade Bag” Lost Ming 明 dynasty book, apparently on poetics. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by Zhu Anyu 朱安㳚 (1476-1525), a Ming prince. The book does not appear in the standard bibliographies. LSZ lists the book as Jin nang shi dui [1] without indication of the author in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it directly in the main text. He does cite a Jin nang shi 錦囊詩, “Poem from the Brocade Bag,” [1] there, but since the Jin nang shi dui is now lost, the source of his citation remains unclear. Jin shan si shenren 金山寺神人, “Holy Man of the Golden Mountain Monastery” [1] Song 宋 dynasty unnamed holy man. In SE da huang 大黃, LSZ cites from the → Yijian zhi 夷堅志 a recipe with rhubarb root to heal “wounds resulting from hot water scorching” (tang huo zhuo shang 湯火灼傷) that was apparently transmitted by the Jin shan si shenren. Tracing the source of this story, we find an as-
229 sociation with a divine person (shen 神) talking about a place called Jin shan 金 山, but there is no mention of a Golden Mountain Monastery. Jin Shao 靳邵 [1] Famous Jin 晉 dynasty physician, considered one of the best of his time. He held a honorific court post and is the inventor of two well-known mineral recipes. LSZ takes over his name from another source. Jin shu 晉書, “History of the Jin” [9] Lost historical work. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Wang Yin 王隱. DC 340. 89 juan. Wang Yin, continuing the work begun by his father Wang Quan 王 銓, compiled a general history of the Western Jin 晉 dynasty. Fragments are preserved in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and many other books. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections and cites it second hand from other sources in the main text. Jin Wu di 晉武帝 (236-290) [1] This is Emperor Wu 武 of Jin 晉, personal name Sima Yan 司馬炎, r. 265-290. LSZ cites a story about him from the → Shi yi ji 拾遺記 . Jin xi xian wan biao 進豨薟丸表, “Stone Tablet on Pills with Xi xian, Presented [to the Emperor]” Stone tablet inscription composed for the emperor by → Zhang Yong 張詠. According to this inscription, Zhang Yong found an excavated stele with descriptions of life cultivation techniques and two recipes with descriptions of a drug called “fire shovel” (huo qian 火杴), that is, xi xian 豨薟. Zhang used the drug on himself and others with considerable success. Upon this he dispatched a minor official called → Shi Yuan 史元 to present a memorial about the recipe. LSZ refers to this text as Jin xi xian wan biao [2] and as Xian wan biao 薟丸表, “Stone Tablet on Xian Pills.” Once, however, he erroneously refers the titles Jin xi xian wan biao and Jin xi xian wan fang biao 進豨薟丸方表, “Stone Tablet on Recipes for Pills with Xi xian,” [1] to → Cheng Ne 成訥, who is associated with a “recipe for pills with xi xian” (xi xian wan fang 豨薟丸方) in the → ZLBC but no stone inscription. Jin xi xian wan fang biao 進豨薟丸方表 → Jin xi xian wan biao 進豨薟丸表 Jin xiao 近效 → Jin xiao fang 近效方 Jin xiao fang 近效方, “Quick-Working recipes” Lost book on medical recipes. EE → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方. DC Tang 唐. Author and size uncertain. The book apparently contained many recipes considered effective by the common people from the kai yuan 開元 reign period (713-741) and before. The Wai tai mi yao quotes much and the → ZLBC some of its material. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not indicate any author there. He quotes the work second hand from the Wai tai mi yao and the ZLBC as Jin xiao fang [17] or Jin xiao 近效, “Quick-Working,” [1]. In SE po luo de 婆羅得 he mistakenly refers the Jin xiao fang to → Meng Shen 孟詵.

DC 1188. 150 juan, comprised of an earlier (qian ji 前集), later (hou ji 後集), and subsequent collection (xu ji 續集) of 40 juan each, and a separate collection (bie ji 別集) of 30 juan. The material is divided up into 761 categories. Each category lists related objects, followed by relevant literature. The encyclopedia uses material from a wide range of sources, including many books now lost. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it directly in the main text. He may have quoted material second hand from it, referring to the original source instead of the Jin xiu wan hua gu, but there is no way to ascertain this. Jin Xuan zong 金宣宗 [1] This is Wanyan Xun 完顔珣, the Jin 金 emperor from the Jurchen tribe, r. 12131222. According to the → Wei sheng bao jian 衛生寶鑒, he ingested the “pill to bring down phlegm” (zhui tan wan 墜痰丸). LSZ cites this in SE da huang 大黃. Jin you gong 晉幽公 [1] Warring States period ruler of the state of Jin 晉, r. 433-416 BCE.

Jing duan wang 荊端王, “Prince duan of Jing” (died 1553) [1] This is Zhu Houquan 朱厚烇, prince of a Ming 明 vassal state. In SE huang lian 黃連, LSZ reports that he ingested bitter and cold drugs over a long time, a practice that eventually caused a fire in him to blaze and made him go blind. Jing Fang 京房 (77-37 BCE) [4] Western Han 漢 theorist on the → Zhou yi 周易, founder of his own school of thought, and expert in law. Original surname Li 李, style name Junming 君 明, a man of Dun qiu 頓丘 in Dong jun 東郡, now part of He nan 河南. He studied the Zhou yi with Jiao Yanshou 焦延壽, interpreting the book in terms of constant change and explaining various natural disasters on the basis of these theories. He was the author of the Jing shi yi zhuan 京氏易傳, “The [Book of ]

Jing Huan 景煥 [4] Man of late Five Dynasties and early Song 宋 times. His name is also given as Jing Yu 景漁.

LSZ relates a case study of his own about the prince’s wife suffering from unbearable heart pain. The Jing wang xi 荊王系, “Families of Princes of Jing,” lists a Prince Duanmu 端穆 of Yong ding 永定, Zhu Zaihui 朱載墭. This prince was a contemporary of LSZ’s, so possibly this is the person he is referring to in SE yan hu suo 延胡索. Jing nan ji 荊南記, “records of Southern Jing” Lost Liang 梁 dynasty geographical text.

The book records geography, local products, etc., of the southern parts of Jing zhou 荊州. Fragments are found in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → Tai ping huan yu ji 太平寰宇記, and other books.

AN Jing yan qian fang 經驗前方, “Tried and Proven Earlier Recipes.” DC 2nd half of the 11th century. The ZLBC quotes from this work a great deal, and LSZ’s references to a Jing yan fang without indication of an author are mostly taken over from the ZLBC. LSZ mistakenly attributes the book to → Chen Bian 陳抃 in his bibliographical sections, apparently thinking that the Jing yan fang and the → Jing yan hou fang 經驗後方 cited in the ZLBC were identical with the now lost Shou ji bei ji jing xiao fang 手集備急經效方, “Tried and Efficacious Recipes for Emergencies, Collected by Hand,” by Chen. For chronological reasons, however, it is unlikely that the ZLBC quoted any work by Chen Bian. In the main text LSZ also refers to a Chen shi jing yan fang 陳氏經驗方 [4], these references might be to this anonymous Jing yan fang as well, or to the → Jing yan fang 經驗方 by → Chen Rihua 陳日華.

He cites the book as Jing yan fang [6] or as Chen shi jing yan fang [4], each time indicating the author as Chen Rihua or Chen shi 陳氏, “Mr. Chen.” However, the title Chen shi jing yan fang [4] might also refer to the anonymous → Jing yan fang 經驗方 wrongly attributed to → Chen Bian 陳抃 by LSZ, so the two works might easily be confused.

AN Mi chuan jing yan fang 秘傳經驗方, “Secretly Transmitted Tried and Proven Recipes.” Written by → Shao Yizheng 邵以正 as part of the collection → Qing nang za zuan 青囊雜纂.

LSZ also erroneously refers this Jing yan fang to Shao’s teachers → Liu Changchun 劉長春 and → Zhao Yizhen 趙 宜真. Indeed, the Qing nang za zuan contained many works by Zhao, and the
235 Jing yan fang is the only text written by Shao Yizheng himself in the collection, thus probably LSZ’s error. In his bibliographical sections, LSZ lists a → Jing yan fang 經驗方 of Liu Changchun and a → Zhao shi jing yan fang 趙氏經驗方 but only refers to the real work by Shao indirectly in his listing of the Qing nang za zuan. In the main text, too, we find frequent references of the Jing yan fang to Liu and Zhao. All this shows that in the BCGM there was great confusion regarding the Jing yan fang and its authorship.

It also describes properties, incompatibilities, and preparation methods of minerals used in Daoist alchemy, like cinnabar, saltpeter or rock salt. LSZ cites the book as Jiu ding shen dan mi jue [2] in his bibliographical sections and the main text and as Jiu ding shen dan jing 九鼎神丹經, “Classic of the Divine Elixirs of the Nine Tripods.”

FE Bai chuan shu zhi 百川書志, “The Hundred Streams Bibliography.” Written by → Zhou Ding wang 周定王. DC 1406. 2 juan (AV 4, 8, or 14 juan). LSZ, following a mistake in Lu Jian’s 陸柬 preface in the 1555 edition, erroneously assigns the book to Zhou Ding wang’s son → Zhou Xian wang 周憲王, a mistake that was corrected in later editions of the BCGM. The text describes physical features, production, preparation methods, etc., of 414 substances that can be eaten in an emergency. LSZ cites the book as Jiu huang ben cao [27] and as Jiu huang 救荒, “Famine Relief,” [27], or labeling it with the author’s name as Zhou Ding wang (or in early editions Zhou Xian wang) [11]. Jiu ji 救急 → Jiu ji fang 救急方 Jiu ji fang 救急方, “recipes for rescue in Emergencies” Lost, anonymous Northern Song 宋 or pre-Song recipe collection. See bibliography of the BCGM.

Out of all these quotations, however, only one can be traced back to the Jiu ji fang fragment in the ZLBC. The others might be references to different texts of the same name quoted in the → Pu ji fang 普濟方 and other books, and many have actually been taken from the → Ji jiu liang fang 急救良方.

LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections but cites it in the main text. However, some of this material appears to have been taken from the → Ji jiu liang fang 急救良方, so Jiu ji liang fang might actually be a designation for that work.

LSZ cites the work as Jiu ji yi fang [8] without indicating an author, but in the main text he refers to the work as Zhao Shuwen yi fang 趙叔文醫方, “Medical Recipes of Zhao Shuwen,” [1], using the style name of the author. Jiu san si fang 救三死方, “recipes for rescue from the Three Kinds of death” Lost Tang 唐 dynasty recipe book. EE → TJBC. Written by → Liu Zongyuan 柳宗元.

When citing it, the TJBC refers the text to Liu’s nickname Liu Liuzhou 柳柳州 twice but once to a Liuzhou jiu san si fang 柳州救三死方, “[Liu] Liuzhou’s Recipes for Rescue from the Three Kinds of Death,” compiled by → Liu Yuxi 劉禹錫. Possibly, Liu Yuxi had included the text into his → Chuan xin fang 傳信方, and therefore → Su Song 蘇頌 mentioned him as the author in the TJBC. LSZ cites the work second hand as Liuzhou jiu san si fang [2], taking over the attribution to Liu Yuxi in his main text, and as Jiu san si fang [2] by Liu Liuzhou. Jiu tian san qing 九天三清, “The Three Clarities of the Nine Heavens” [1] Three spirits revered in Daoism: the Yuanshi tianzun 元始天尊, “The Heavenly Honored of the Primordial Beginning” associated with the Yu qing 玉清, “[Realm of ] Jade Clarity,” the Lingbao daojun 靈寶道君, “Heavenly Honored of the Numinous Treasure,” associated with the Shang qing 上清, “[Realm of ] Highest Purity,” and the Taishang laojun 太上老君, “Elder Lord of the Great Loftiness,” associated with the Tai qing 太清, “[Realm of ] Great Clarity.” In SE lu gan shi 爐甘石, LSZ cites the → Tusu zhenjun 土宿真君 with a statement that the “three clarities of the nine heavens” revered the mineral calamine as a wonderful substance.

DC 1213. 5 juan. The author stressed the importance of investigating the roots of disease, thus the title. The book collected old and new recipes along with what the author considered proven lore. The original text is lost, but fragments are preserved in the Bao qing ben cao zhe zhong 寶慶本草折 衷, “The Weighing of Opinions in the Bao qing Reign Period Materia Medica,” and the → Pu ji fang 普濟方.

The title refers to dissatisfaction with not having fulfilled one’s ambitions in an official career. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text, but the story he relates about → Xin Jiaxuan 辛稼軒 is definitely not from the Juan you lu. Instead, it was probably taken from the → You huan ji wen 游宦紀聞. Jun guo zhi 郡國志, “Treatise on Commanderies and States” [2] Name of a book. Possibly EE → Hou Han shu 後漢書 , which contains a treatise called Jun guo zhi on geography and government affairs of the states (guo 國) and commandaries (jun 郡) and of the Chinese Empire. Later, Tang 唐 and Song 宋 bibliographies list many other books of the same name, all of which are now lost. LSZ lists a Jun guo zhi in his bibliographical sections but does not name an author. He also quotes one fragment in the main text, maybe quoting second hand from the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, which cites the same material but also fails to specify its source.

It also integrates investigations of the historical development of words as well as information on local products and institutions. The work became known as the Kan miu zheng su during the Song 宋 period due to avoidance of the Song founder’s name.

In SE da dou chi 大豆豉, LSZ states that Kang’s method of fermenting beans was documented in the → Bo wu zhi 博物志 and that Kang Bo was the person who had brought it with him from abroad. However, the extant Bo wu zhi neither mentions Kang Bo’s name nor any zhi chi fa.

[1] Name of a book written by an otherwise unknown → Hu Yun’ao 胡雲翱. The fragment cited from this work mentions a recipe from the Ju fang 局方, “Official Recipes,” (→ He ji ju fang 和劑局方), so the text must have been written after the Northern Song 宋 dynasty Lao zi 老子, “The Venerable Master” [5] Late Spring and Autumn Period thinker, traditionally considered the founder of Daoism and the author of the Dao de jing 道德經, “Classic of the Way and the Virtue,” (→ Lao zi 老子 ). Possibly a mythical figure or a synthesis of various historical figures. According to his biography in the → Shi ji 史記, Lao zi’s surname was Li 李, his given name Er 耳, his style name Boyang 伯陽, and his posthumous name Dan 聃, therefore he is often called Lao Dan 老聃. A man of Qu ren 曲仁 village in the state of Chu 楚, in the east of present-day Lu yi 鹿邑 in He nan 河南. According to this part of the biography, Lao zi was a contemporary of Confucius (→ Kong zi 孔子), whom the old Daoist provided with some instruction. It is said that after realizing that the Zhou 周 dynasty was on the decline, he departed westward and wrote the Dao de jing at a border pass following the request of a guard. The last parts of the biography associate him with either another contemporary of Confucius called Lao Lai zi 老萊子 or with a Grand Scribe (tai shi 太史) of Zhou called Dan 儋, who made a prophecy to Duke Xian 獻 of Qin 秦 129 years after Confucius’ death in 350 BCE.

The existing Lao zi was probably written during the middle Warring States Period and preserves the core of early Daoist thought. Still extant are annotated versions, e.g., one attributed to the legendary He shang gong 河上公, “Lord of the Riverside,” (Western Han 漢), which can be dated to the 3rd century CE, or one by → Wang Bi 王弼 from the State of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period.

253 dong 遼東 call it wei yu 尉魚. Others call it zhong ming yu 仲明魚, Zhongming 仲明 was the Commandant of Le lang. He drowned in the sea and was transformed into a fish.” The Song 宋 author → Luo Yuan 羅願 states that wei 尉, “commandant,” is most likely a homophone writing error of wei 鮪. LSZ refers to this person as Le lang wei [1] and Zhongming [1] in SE xun yu 鱘魚. Le qing gai zhe 樂清丐者, “Beggar from Le qing” [1] Southern Song 宋 person.

Accordingly, LSZ lists the book by this abbreviation in his bibliographical sections without indicating an author. In the main text he cites material second hand from the Yi shuo. Lei cong 類從, “Organized by Categories” [1] Title of a book, possibly an abbreviation for the → Gan ying lei cong zhi 感應 類從志. Still, the origin of the passage LSZ cites in SE bie 鱉 cannot be ascertained.

An ancient sage of Chinese medicine appearing in the → Huang di su wen 黃 帝素問 in discussion with the Yellow Thearch (→ Huang di 黃帝 ). During the Ming 明 dynasty, this ancient Lei gong was often conflated with Lei Xiao, but LSZ makes a clear distinction between the two. LSZ quotes two (or three) books that associate their contents with the name of Lei gong: (a) Two books called → Lei gong yao dui 雷公藥對, the newer of which was written by → Xu Zhicai 徐之才. Fragments of the older one are found in the Ben cao jing ji zhu 本草經集注, “Collected Commentaries on the Classic of Mate-
254 ria Medica,” (→ MYBL) of → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景, who states that both the ancient Lei gong as well as the legendary → Tong jun 桐君 compiled a Yao dui 藥對, “Combinations of Pharmaceutical Substances.” He considers them the earliest people to compile pharmaceutical literature and in this context refers to them together as Tong 桐 and Lei 雷 [2].
(b) The → Wu Pu ben cao 吳普本草 frequently quotes Lei gong [75] in connection with a medical text which must be from the Han 漢 dynasty or earlier. LSZ claims that this is a reference to the ancient → Lei gong yao dui 雷公藥對 , but Song and pre-Song writers do not make this connection. Lei gong pao zhi 雷公炮炙 → Lei gong pao zhi lun 雷公炮炙論 Lei gong pao zhi lun 雷公炮炙論, “Lei gong’s discourse on Pharmaceutical Processing” CMM. FE Jun zhai du shu zhi hou zhi 郡齋讀書志後志, “Supplementary Treatise to the Catalogue of Books Read at the Prefectural Study.” AN Lei gong pao zhi 雷公炮炙,“Lei gong’s Pharmaceutical Processing [Methods],” Lei Xiao pao zhi fang 雷斅炮炙方, “Lei Xiao’s Pharmaceutical Processing Methods,” Lei Xiao pao zhi lun 雷斅炮炙論, “Lei Xiao’s Discourse on Pharmaceutical Processing.” Attributed to → Lei Xiao 雷斅. DC Liu Song 劉宋 or Sui 隋 dynasties. 3 juan. While the Jun zhai du shu zhi dates the book to the Liu Song dynasty, → Su Song 蘇頌, author of the → TJBC, considers it a Sui work. The former dating is accepted by LSZ, who distinguishes Lei Xiao from the → Lei gong 雷公 mentioned in the → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問. Some modern researchers even consider the Lei gong pao zhi lun a Tang 唐 dynasty text, but since the pre-Tang Wu zang fang 五藏方, “Recipes for the Five Long-Term Depots,” already mentions one Lei gong as an expert for pharmaceutical processing, this is unlikely. The original Lei gong pao zhi lun held 300 monographs, which are now lost. Some scattered fragments are found in the Chong guang Ying gong ben cao 重廣英公本 草, “Repeatedly Expanded Materia Medica of the Duke of Ying,” (→ Shu ben cao 蜀本草), the TJBC, and other works, and the → ZLBC contains a rather large amount of quotations. LSZ considered the book’s material on pharmaceutical qualities, processing, and cooking methods profound but difficult to understand, and he felt that the text consisted of a variety of ancient material rather than the ideas of one single person. Like previous authors, he considered a person called → Qian ning Yan xiansheng 乾寧晏先生 a major source for the book. The methods of pharmaceutical processing described are related to Daoist alchemical methods, which makes them rather complicated and not entirely suited for medical usage. The BCGM quotes the text from the ZLBC and refers to the text as Lei gong pao zhi lun [15], Lei Xiao pao zhi lun [21], Lei Xiao pao zhi 雷斅炮炙, “Lei Xiao’s Pharmaceutical Processing,” [9], Lei shi pao zhi lun 雷氏炮炙論, “Mr. Lei’s Pharmaceutical Processing Methods,” [5], Lei gong pao zhi [2], Pao zhi lun 炮炙論, “Discourse on Pharmaceutical Processing,” [18], Pao zhi 炮炙, “Pharmaceutical Processing,” [2], or by the author’s name, i.e., as Lei Xiao [30], Xiao 斅 [305], Lei shi 雷氏, “Mr. Lei,” [13], or simply Lei 雷 [12].
255 Lei gong yao dui 雷公藥對, “Lei gong’s Combinations of Pharmaceutical Substances” Name of two lost CMM. In spite of distinguishing between two versions of a Lei gong yao dui [2] in his introductory sections, LSZ mixes up the origins of the numerous second hand quotations in his main text. He refers material from either book to the newer text by → Xu Zhicai 徐之才, labeling them Xu Zhicai [12], Zhicai 之才 [206], Yao dui [18] of Xu Zhicai, or simply Yao dui [6]. FE Jiu Tang shu jing ji zhi 舊唐書經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the Old History of the Tang.” AN Yao dui 藥對, “Combinations of Pharmaceutical Substances.” Attributed to → Lei gong 雷公 . DC Han 漢 or before. 2 juan. The text categorized pharmaceuticals, describing their pharmaceutical properties and interactions. In the Ben cao jing ji zhu 本草經集注, “Collected Commentaries on the Classic of Materia Medica,” (→ MYBL) of → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景, in between the large characters of the original MYBL and the → Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經, and the small character annotations by Tao, we find another kind of small character notes describing drug interactions like mutual synergies, antagonisms, counteractions, incompatibilities, and avoidances. In his preface, Tao claims to have taken this type of information from a text called Yao dui, which is probably the ancient Lei gong yao dui. LSZ, however, mistakenly refers all his material on drug interactions to the later → Lei gong yao dui 雷公藥對 of Xu Zhicai, although some of it actually goes back to the earlier Yao dui quoted by Tao Hongjing. In his introductory sections he states that the original author of the Lei gong yao dui is the → Lei gong 雷公 (3b)) referred to in the third century → Wu Pu ben cao 吳普本草, thus he considers the Lei gong in the Wu Pu ben cao an abbreviated title of the ancient Lei gong yao dui.
FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” AN Yao dui. Written by → Xu Zhicai 徐之才. DC 6th century. 2 juan.

It classified and recorded the names and categories, ranks, synergies, properties and toxicities, interactions, and applications of the various pharmaceuticals. It consists of 2 juan in all. Many early materia medica texts are based on this book. Its discussions of treatment and pharmaceutical application are very detailed.” All the Yao dui quotes in the Jia you ben cao were taken from Xu’s text. LSZ regards Xu’s Yao dui as an expansion of the ancient → Lei gong yao dui 雷 公藥對 with Lei gong as the original author. He incorrectly refers all the material on drug interactions from a Lei gong yao dui quoted in the Ben cao jing ji zhu 本草經集注, “Collected Commentaries on the Classic of Materia Medica,” (→ MYBL) to Xu Zhicai, even though it is evident that Tao Hongjing himself quoted this material from earlier sources, most probably the ancient → Lei gong yao dui 雷公藥對 .

Translated early 8th century. 10 juan. LSZ cites a Leng yan jing in his bibliographical sections and the main text without indicating a translator. There is also an older Shou leng yan san mei jing 首楞嚴三昧經, “Shurangama Samadhi Sutra,” translated by Kumarajiva during the Later Qin 秦 dynasty, but it seems unlikely that LSZ used this text for the following reasons: Two of the three fragments cited by LSZ can be found in the Shou leng yan jing, while one is found in neither that work nor the Shou leng yan san mei jing. The material quoted, however, seems similar to the former text rather than the latter. None of the fragments cited appear in other works, so LSZ probably used the original text. Li 禮 → Li ji 禮記 Li 李 → Li fang yu 李防禦 Li anqi 李安期 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty person, an acquaintance of → He Shouwu 何首烏. He is said to have stolen He’s pharmaceutical recipe. After ingesting it, he achieved longevity as well and told the story of He Shouwu. Li ao 李翱 (772-841) [2] Tang 唐 dynasty writer. Style name Xizhi 習之, a man of Chengji 成紀 in Long xi 隴西 in present-day Gan su 甘肅 (AV from Zhao jun 趙郡). Jin shi 798. He held various high central and regional offices and was a disciple of the philosopher → Han Yu 韓愈, the initiator of the old text (gu wen 古文) movement. Li was the author of a literary collection, the Li Wengong ji 李文公集, “Collection of Li the Literary Lord,” and of the → He shou wu zhuan 何首烏傳. His name is sometimes associated with the → Zhuo yi ji 卓異記, but this is probably a textual error. Li Bai 李白 (701-762) Tang 唐 dynasty poet. Style name Taibai 太白, literary name Qinglian jushi 青 蓮居士, “Retired Scholar of the Green Lotus.” His ancestors came from Cheng ji 成紀 in present-day Gan su 甘肅, but at the end of the Sui 隨 apparently lived in the area of present-day Kirghizistan. As a boy, Li followed his father to Chang
258 long 昌隆 in Mian zhou 綿州, now Jiang you 江油 in Si chuan 四川. A bibacious character but nevertheless a gifted poet, he was appointed to the Han lin 翰林 Academy during the tian bao 天寶 reign period (742-756). He was noted for his highly original poetry with rich imagery. There is poetry collection of his called → Li Taibai ji 李太白集, and LSZ cites this, referring to Li as Li Taibai 李太白 [3] and in → Li Bai shi zhu 李白詩注 as Li Bai [1].

Xiao cites a commentary on → Li Bai’s 李白 poem Yong lin nü dong chuang an shi liu 詠鄰女東牕海石榴, “Singing at the Pomegranate Tree Near the Woman’s Eastern Window,” in one of his annotations, and LSZ takes this over in SE hai hong 海紅. Similar material is found in the earlier → Tai ping huan yu ji 太平寰 宇記 without any mention of Li Bai’s name. Li Baochen zhuan 李寶臣傳, “Biography of Li Baochen” [1] Biography from the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” and the Xin Tang shu 新唐書, “New History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書). Li Baochen 李寶臣 (718-781), originally called Zhang Zhongzhi 張忠志, was a general of Fan yang 範陽 and a follower of An Lushan 安祿山 during the latter’s rebellion against the Tang. After the abatement of the rebellion, Zhang Zhongzhi was allowed to retain his command and after some meritorious service to the Tang received the name Li Baochen. In 781, he was poisoned by a sorcerer with a drink containing wu tou 烏頭. The → ZLBC’s wu tou monograph cites the story, and its bibliographical sections list a Tang Baochen zhuan 唐寶臣傳, “Biography of [Li] Baochen of the Tang.” LSZ changes this into Li Baochen zhuan in his own bibliographical sections but does not actually cite the story. Li Baozhen 李抱真 (733-794) Tang 唐 dynasty high official. Originally surnamed An 安, style name Taixuan 太玄 (AV Taiyuan 太元). A man of He xi 河西, the area west of the Yellow River. He served in many high local and central posts such as Minister of Works (si kong 司空) and was therefore called Li xiang 李相, “Minister Li.” Li successfully launched counter-attacks against rebel forces. In his later years he was given to taking alchemical drugs and died of cinnabar poisoning. The → Chuan xin fang 傳信方 relates a story witnessed by → Cui Geishi 崔給事, stating that Li xiang struck a ball with a stick and injured his thumb. The pain ended after an external treatment with roasted onion had been applied. LSZ cites this story second hand in SE cong 蔥, referring to Li as Li Baozhen [1] and Li xiang [2]. Li Beihai 李北海 → Li Yong 李邕 Li Binhu 李瀕湖 → Li Shizhen 李時珍 Li bo shi 李博士, “Erudite Li” [1] This is the title of Li Jingkai 李景開, a late Northern Song 宋 scholar of Zhen zhou 真州, now Yi zheng 儀征 in Jiang su 江蘇. In 1123 he cured the grandson
259 of → Wu Qian 吳幵 of an illness. This is recorded in the → Bai yi xuan fang 百 一選方, but LSZ gives the → Yang shi jia cang fang 楊氏家藏方 as his source in SE bai fu zi 白附子. Li Boshi 李伯時 [1] This is the style name of Li Gonglin 李公麟, a Northern Song 宋 painter. Literary name Longmian jushi 龍眠居士, “Retired Scholar of Long mian.” A man of Long mian 龍眠 in Shu zhou 舒州, an area in present-day Tong cheng 桐城 in An hui 安徽. Jin shi during the yuan you 元祐 reign period (1086-1094), resigned from all official posts in 1100. Li was a talented painter and enjoyed collecting antiquities. He is the author of a Kao gu tu 考古圖, “Illustrations of How to Examine Ancient [Things].” During the yuan feng 元豐 reign period (1078-1085), he obtained a recipe of → Chen Jingchu 陳景初 and renamed it “aristolochia powder” (tian xian teng san 天仙藤散). LSZ cites this in SE tian xian teng 天仙藤. Li Buque 李補闕 [3] Tang 唐 dynasty official. The → Wai tai mi yao fang 外台秘要方 cites a Li Buque fu ru fa 李補闕服乳法, “Li Buque’s method of ingesting milk”, stating that it is identical with a method listed in the → Qian jin yi fang 千金翼方. LSZ refers such a method to the Qian jin fang 千金方 “Recipes Worth a Thousand in Gold,” (→ Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急方), but neither the Qian jin fang nor the Qian jin yi fang as they are extant today include references to Li Buque. According to the Wai tai mi yao fang, Li Buque was active during the mid-Tang dynasty or earlier. Several persons of the same name are known to have lived during the Tang, so an exact identification is difficult. LSZ mentions him in SE shi zhong ru 石鐘乳. Li Chen 李臣 → Li Ya 李亞 Li chushi 李處士, “reclusive Scholar Li” [1] Person frequently mentioned in ancient literature. For example, the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記 mentions a Li chu shi of Tang 唐 times with superhuman abilities. In SE tai yang tu 太陽土, LSZ cites a Li chu shi as someone who knew of a method to ward off rats. Apparently, this was a shaman who lived sometime before the Ming 明 dynasty. Li cong shi 李從事, “retainer Li” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official. Personal name unknown. A man of Hu nan 湖南, now Chang sha 長沙 in Hu nan. The → Chuan xin fang 傳信方, as quoted in the → TJBC, lists a single-ingredient recipe to treat injuries resulting from falling off a horse that Li had once used successfully himself. LSZ mentions him in SE dao 稻. Li dai zhi 李待制, “Edict attendant Li” Northern Song 宋 official. This is apparently Li Qiu 李璆, style name Ximei 西美, a man of Bian 汴, now Kai feng 開封 in He nan 河南. Jin shi during the zheng he 政和 reign period (1111-1117). Stationed in Ling nan 嶺南 in 1131, he encountered many cases of malaria and in consequence wrote the Zhang nüe lun 瘴瘧論, “Discourse on Miasmatic Malaria,” which is preserved in the → Ling
260 nan wei sheng fang 嶺南衛生方. LSZ quotes material on malaria from the latter text second hand, referring to Li as Li dai zhi [1]. He also refers to him as dai zhi 待制 [1] but erroneously connects this designation to the name → Li Tao 李燾 instead of Li Qiu. Li dangzhi 李當之 (3rd century) Famous medical scholar from the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period, also written Li Dangzhi 李譡之. Li is said to have been a disciple of → Hua Tuo 華佗. He edited the → Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經, but his edition had only a limited circulation. Li was the author of the → Li Dangzhi yao lu 李當之藥錄 and the → Li Dangzhi ben cao 李當之本草 and became an authority for the → MYBL. LSZ cites fragments of Li’s lost works from the → ZLBC and other sources but does not always make clear which work of Li’s he is quoting from. He refers to him as Li Dangzhi [95], Dangzhi 當之 [24], and as Li shi 李氏, “Mr. Li” [4]. Li Dangzhi ben cao 李當之本草, “Materia Medica of Li dangzhi” Lost pharmaceutical book. FE → Qi lu 七錄.

This book held information on how to gather pharmaceuticals, how to determine their quality, on favorable interactions and avoidances, etc. The → Tang ben cao 唐本草 quotes numerous fragments of this book using the name of the book, while the → Wu Pu ben cao 吳普本草 only refers to the author’s name, leaving it uncertain which of Li Dangzhi’s books a quote is from (Li Dangzhi was also the author of a → Li Dangzhi yao lu 李當之 藥錄). LSZ cites the text as Li Dangzhi ben cao [5] and Li shi ben cao 李氏本草, “Mr. Li’s Materia Medica,” [1] in his main text but only lists the Li Dangzhi yao lu in his bibliographical sections. Quotations labeled Li Dangzhi or Dangzhi 當 之 may also include material from the Li Dangzhi ben cao.

AN Li Dangzhi yao lu 李譡之藥錄, “Li Dangzhi’s Record of Pharmaceutical Substances.” DC Three Kingdoms period. 6 juan. The Li Dangzhi yao lu contained information on alternative names of pharmaceutical substances, their appearance, etc. LSZ seems to have taken some of his material from the → Wu Pu ben cao 吳普本草 and the works of → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景. The → Shuo fu 説郛 also preserves one juan of the text. There is another lost text by Li, the → Li Dangzhi ben cao 李當之本草. Later authors, including LSZ, did not always distinguish their sources when quoting fragments from Li Dangzhi’s works, so it is hard to determine which of the two texts they took their material from. Tao Hongjing, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and the Shuo fu cite a Li Dangzhi yao lu, the → Tang ben cao 唐本草 refers to a Li shi ben cao 李氏本草, “Mr. Li’s Materia Medica,” and → Wu Pu 吳普 labels some of his quotations Li shi 李氏, “Mr. Li.” LSZ frequently cites Li Dangzhi’s works second hand from various sources,
261 labeling his material Li Dangzhi yao lu [14], Li shi yao lu 李氏藥錄, “Mr Li’s Record of Pharmaceutical Substances,” [2], Li shi ben cao [1], incorrectly Li Dangzhi yao dui 李當之藥對, “Li Dangzhi’s Combinations of Pharmaceutical Substances,” [1], or referring to Li himself as Li Dangzhi [75] or Dangzhi 當之 [13].

Li ding 李定 [1] Southern Song 宋 person. A medical case history about → Shi Cangyong 石藏 用 recorded in the → Yi shuo 醫説 is said to have been transmitted by Li Ding. LSZ gives the → Han yuan cong ji 翰苑叢記 as his source in SE jiang lang 蜣螂. Li dongyuan 李東垣 → Li Gao 李杲 Li dou wei yi 禮斗威儀, “The Majestic Presence of the Big dipper in the Li ji” [2] Anonymous Eastern Han 漢 apocryphal book (→ Wei shu 緯書), one of the heterodox texts on the → Li ji 禮記. The original text is lost, but fragments are
262 preserved in the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and many other texts. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text. The material quoted was possibly taken from the Ming 明 dynasty Gu wei shu 古微書, “Book of Ancient Subtleties,” by Sun Kou 孫㲄. Li E 李娥 [1] Eastern Han 漢 person. A man of Chong xian 充縣 in Wu ling 武陵, now Chang de 常德 in Hu nan 湖南. According to the → Hou Han shu 後漢書 , Li died at the age of 60 in 199 CE but came back to life 14 days later. This anecdote was extended in the → Sou shen ji 搜神記 to a legend about → Fei Zhangfang 費長房 who had obtained a medicinal pill brought back from the underworld by Liu Bowen 劉伯文, a relative of Li E. Fei knew that the pill contained a substance called fang xiang nao 方相腦 (lit. “brain of the Fang xiang”, see → Fang xiang shi 方相氏). It was used for exorcistic purposes, but the ritual to apply it was not transmitted. LSZ mentions Li E in SE wang liang 罔兩. Li Fang 李昉 (925-996) [5] Northern Song 宋 minister. A man of Rao yang 饒陽 in Shen zhou 深州, now Heng shui 衡水 in He bei 河北, scholar at the Han lin 翰林 Academy.

LSZ reproduces special names that Li assigned to the five garden birds pheasant, egret, crane, peacock, and parrott. Li fang yu 李防禦, “defense Commander Li” Northern Song 宋 medical official. Personal name unknown. A man of Bian liang 汴梁, now Kai feng 開封 in He nan 河南. According to the → Lei bian 類編 as quoted in the → Yi shuo 醫説, he served as physician in the inner quarters of the court. When the favorite concubine of → Song Hui zong 宋徽宗 developed a severe cough with phlegm, Li, uncertain how to treat it and threatened by the emperor with death if he failed to succeed, purchased a drug from an itinerant drug peddler and had the woman take it, whereupon she was cured. LSZ cites this story in SE bang 蚌, referring to Li as Li fang yu [1] and as Li 李 [3]. Li Gan 李干 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty person, also known as Li Yu 李于. Scholar at the Imperial Academy (tai xue 太學). According to → Han Yu 韓愈, he used mercury to prepare a longevity drug. LSZ takes this over in SE shui yin 水銀. Li Gao 李杲 (1180-1251) Medical expert of the Jin 金 and Yuan 元 dynasties.

263 age,” (→ Bian huo lun 辨惑論), the → Pi wei lun 脾胃論, the → Yi xue fa ming 醫 學發明, and the → Lan shi mi cang 蘭室秘藏, all very influential books. He was also the author of the → Huo fa ji yao 活法機要. In addition, LSZ attributes the Shi xiao fang 試效方, “Tested Efficacious Recipes,” (→ Dongyuan shi xiao fang 東垣試效方) and other texts on abscesses and ophthalmology to Li’s disciples, makes Li the author of a → Yong yao fa xiang 用藥法象, and mistakenly assigns the → Ci shi nan zhi 此事難知 of → Wang Haogu 王好古 to him. LSZ thought highly of Zhang Yuansu and Li Gao. Apart from quoting his books by name, he refers to Li as Li Gao [75], as Gao 杲 [128], as Li Dongyuan 李東垣 [13], as Dongyuan [56], as Li Mingzhi 李明之 [2], as Mingzhi 明之 [2], or simply as Li shi 李氏, “Mr. Li,” [11]. He also quotes some recipes as Dongyuan fang 東垣方, “Recipe of [Li] Dongyuan,” [3]. Because of this vast amount of citations, it is difficult to determine which of Li’s books is being referred to. Brief quotes on the functions of pharmaceutical substances labeled “Gao” can easily be distinguished as coming from the → Dongyuan zhen zhu nang 東垣珍珠囊, a book that was most probably not written by Li Gao at all. Li Gao 李高 [1] Song 宋 dynasty soldier. He once applied a “powder with purple gold” (zi jin san 紫金散) to close a wound of → Zhou chong ban yuan 周崈班縁. LSZ cites this in SE jiang zhen xiang 降真香.

The current version was annotated by → Zheng Xuan 鄭玄 of Eastern Han. 49 chapters. The book is a collection of descriptions of ritual matters from before Qin 秦 and Han times. The contents were transmitted from generation to generation among the followers of Confucius (→ Kong zi 孔子) and finally recorded in manuscripts. The work contains information on the social situation of the time, on Confucian doctrine, cultural products, and social institutions. LSZ cites the book as Li ji [48] and as Li 禮, “Rites,” [13]. In his bibliographical sections he merely lists the annotated version of Zheng Xuan as Li ji zhu shu 禮 記注疏, “Annotations and Commentary to the Li ji,” [1] and in the main text cites Zheng’s annotations as Li zhu 禮注, “Annotations to the Li [ji],” [2], as Li ji zhu 禮記注, “Annotations to the Li ji,” [1], and as Zheng Xuan zhu 鄭玄注, “Annotations of Zheng Xuan,” [2]. He also refers to individual chapters of the work, i.e., the expanded agricultural calendar → Yue ling 月令 , the Li yun 禮 運. “The Conveyance of Rites,” [1], Nei ze 內則, “Pattern of the Family,” [16], Qu li 曲禮, “Summary of the Rules of Propriety,”[4], and the Fang ji 坊記, “Record of Dykes,” [1]. There is also a slightly earlier Da Dai li ji 大戴禮記, “Record of Rites by Dai Senior,” in 85 chapters, compiled by Dai Sheng’s older relative Dai De 戴德. That work was superseded by Dai Sheng’s text and Zheng Xuan’s commentary, and its extant version is incomplete. LSZ does not cite this text directly but quotes the section → Xia xiao zheng 夏小正 and some words of Confucius’ disciple → Zeng zi 曾子 from it. Li Ji 李勣 (594-669) Tang 唐 general-in-chief (da jiang 大將). Originally called Xu Shiji 徐世勣, style name Maogong 懋功, he was later given the imperial surname Li 李 and was thus called Li Shiji 李世勣. In order to avoid the Tang founder’s name, this was turned into Li Ji. Li held several military posts and was made the Duke of the State of Ying 英 (Ying guo gong 英國公) for his services. Under Emperor Ren zong 仁宗, he held the position of Minister of Works (si kong 司空). According to the → ZLBC, Li also received the ashes of the beard trimmings of → Tang Tai zong 唐太宗 himself as a special favor to cure him from an abscess. During the xian qing 顯慶 reign period (656-660), he was ordered to compile the → Tang ben cao 唐本草, which therefore became known as the Ying gong ben cao 英公本草, “Materia Medica of the Duke of Ying.” LSZ refers to him as Li Ji [3], as Li Shiji [1], as Ying guo gong [1], and as Ying gong 英公, “Duke of Ying,” [2].

Li Jin 李謹 (died 689) This is Li Shen 李慎, a Tang 唐 member of the imperial clan, son of → Tang Tai zong 唐太宗. His name is sometimes written Li Jin 李謹 due to a naming taboo. He held various posts and was enfeoffed as Prince of Ji ( Ji wang 紀王). The Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書) has his biography. When Li Shen served in Cao zhou 曹州 as prefectural governor, a villager named Wang Fangyan 王方言 presented to him a multi-colored lin qin 林檎 fruit, i.e., crab apple. Li Shen passed it on to → Tang Gao zong 唐高宗 whereupon Gao zong conferred upon Wang Fangyan the title Gentleman Litterateur (wen lin lang 文林郎). This story is recorded in the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣 記 and other books, and LSZ cites it without naming his source. He changes its contents, claiming that the emperor conferred the title wen lin lang on Li Jin, and refers to Li as Li Jin [1] and Jin 謹 [1]. Li Jingchun 李景純 [1] Northern Song 宋 person. According to the → ZLBC, Sun Shangyao 孫尚藥 (→ Sun Yonghe 孫用和) once obtained a recipe transmitted by Li for curing dysentery.

LSZ cites this story in SE ni bai yin 溺白垽, but in the Jin ling 金陵 edition of the BCGM the character qi 七 resembles a bi 匕, or a shi 士 with the left part missing.

Li sao 離騷 → Chu ci 楚辭 Li sao bian zheng 離騷辨證, “Investigation of the Li sao” [2] Song 宋 dynasty book, a commentary on the Li sao 離騷, “Woes of Departure,” (→ Chu ci 楚辭). AN originally Chu ci ji zhu bian zheng 楚辭集注辨證, “Investigation of the Collected Annotations to the Chu ci.” Written by Zhu Xi 朱熹 (→ Zhu zi 朱子). LSZ cites the book second hand from the Gu jin he bi shi lei bei yao 古今合璧事類備要, “Essentials of Categorized Matters Like Joint Jade Circles, Quoted from Old and New Literature,” (→ Gu jin shi lei he bi 古今事類 合璧) of Xie Weixin 謝維新.

He emerged from Li shan 歷山, thus the name “Gentleman of Li shan.” Some consider him to be identical with → Shen nong 神農 while others dispute this. His son is said to have been a farmer with extraordinary abilities to plant the myriad types of grains. He is therefore worshipped as the Jizhu 稷主, “Harvest God.” LSZ mentions him in SE ji 稷.

The book is not found in the standard bibliographies, and when cited in LSZ’s main text the material in question actually seems to come from annotations to the Nan Liang xing 南梁行, “Travelling to Southern Liang,” chapter in Li Shen’s Zhui xi you ji 追昔遊集, “Travel Collection Recalling the Past.” Therefore the title Li Shen wen ji most probably stands for the Zhui xi you ji. This book contained poetry about the places Li had visited along with extensive annotations. DC 838. 3 juan.

Literary name Fangzhou 方舟, “Tandem Ship,” according to the Si ku quan shu ti yao 四庫全書提要, “Index to the Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” he lived during the shao xing 紹興 to qian dao 乾道 reign periods (1131-1173). Further details unavailable. Author of the → Xu bo wu zhi 續博物志. Li shi 李師, “Master Li” [1] Yuan 元 dynasty person. In SE lai fu 萊菔, LSZ quotes the Yan shou shu 延壽書, “Book for Extending Life” (→ San yuan yan shou shu 三元延壽書) with a story about how Li Shi once fled into a cave to escape his enemies. When they generated smoke to suffocate him, he chewed a radish (luo bo 蘿卜) and the ingest-
271 ed juice saved his life. However, such an anecdote is not documented in the Yan shou shu. Possibly, it originates from the Jiu ji fang 救急方, “Recipes for Rescue in Emergencies,” of → Li Pengfei 李鵬飛. Li shi 李士 → Li Qi 李七 Li shi ben cao 李氏本草 → Li Dangzhi ben cao 李當之本草 Li shi fang 李氏方, “recipes of Mr. Li” [1] Source of recipes, probably not a book. EE BCGM, which cites a recipe in the main text even though there is no entry in the bibliographical sections. LSZ frequently refers to physicians surnamed Li 李 (→ Li shi 李氏), but since he does not specify which book he is citing from, his source remains uncertain. Li shi shi jing 李氏食經, “The Food Classic of Mr. Li” [2] Lost text on dietetics. EE Yong le da dian 永樂大典, “Great Encyclopedia of the Yong le Reign Period.” Author and size uncertain. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and in the main text, but the source of his quotation is unclear.

Style name Dongbi 東璧, literary name Binhu 瀕湖, “Lakeside,” a man of Qi zhou 蘄州, now Qi chun 蘄春 county in Hu bei 湖北. His grandfather was an itinerant physician and his father → Li Yanwen 李言聞 a scholar physician who worked at the Imperial Academy of Medicine (tai yi yuan 太醫院). At the age of 14 LSZ passed the lowest level of the civil service examination and consequently went on studying for another ten years but failed the next three examinations. He thereupon followed in his father’s footsteps. A successful doctor, he was rewarded with an appointment at the Chu 楚 court, and later on was asked to join the Imperial Academy of Medicine in the capital. He returned a year later, however, and went on practicing as a doctor. LSZ is the author of the BCGM (which he presumably compiled with a team of assistants of unknown number) and several other works, e.g., the Binhu mai xue 瀕湖脈學, “Study on the [Movements in the] Vessels by [Li] Binhu,” the Qi jing ba mai kao 奇經八脈考, “Investigation of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels,” the → Binhu ji jian fang 瀕湖集簡方, and the → Binhu yi an 瀕湖醫案. LSZ adds his own comments to the BCGM referring to himself as Li Shizhen [51], as Shizhen 时珍 [5479], as Binhu [35], as Li Binhu 李瀕湖 [1], as Dongbi [1], or simply as Zhen 珍 [21]. In the original preface, he is referred to as Li shi 李氏, “Mr. Li,” [1]. Li Shouwen 李壽翁 [1] Southern Song 宋 official.

See bibliography of the → ZLBC. Although the ZLBC lists this title in its bibliographical sections, the fragment labeled with Li’s name in the main text does not indicate any Li Sifeng zhuan as a source. Li Sifeng is apparently identical with Li Zongyi 李宗易, style name Jianfu 簡夫, a man of Wan qiu 宛丘, now Huai yang 淮陽 in He nan 河南. He was active during the reign of → Song Ren zong 宋仁宗 (r. 1022-1063), when he held various offices.

LSZ lists the work as Li Taibai ji [1] in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it directly in the main text. Material labeled Li Taibai 李太白 [2], however, is taken from this collection, and one citation of a → Li Bai shi zhu 李白詩注 goes back to a Yuan 元 dynasty commentated version of the Li Taibai ji. Li Tao 李濤 [1] Man of the early Northern Song 宋 dynasty. Childhood name Sheweng 社翁. The → Hai lu sui shi 海錄碎事 quotes a section from one of his poems dealing with a wine to treat deafness.

LSZ also confuses Li Tao with → Li dai zhi 李待制, author of the Zhang nüe lun 瘴瘧論, “Discourse on Miasmatic Malaria,” when discussing the properties of chang shan 常山 and fu zi 附子. This material is taken from → Ling nan wei sheng fang 嶺南衛生方. Generally, LSZ refers to Li as Li Tao [3] and Li Xunyan 李巽岩 [1]. Li ti ling 李提領, “Superintendent Li” [1] Song 宋 dynasty official. Personal name unknown. A man of Bian liang 汴梁, now Kai feng 開封 in He nan 河南.

Li Tian 李畋 (11th century) [2] Northern Song 宋 man from Shu 蜀, now Si chuan 四川. He retired from office during the xi ning 熙寧 reign period (1068-1077) to return to his disciples.

The → ZLBC quotes a Hou Wei Li Xiaobo zhuan 後魏李孝伯傳, “Biography of Li Xiaobo of Later Wei,” using material from the Wei shu. LSZ takes this over into his bibliographical sections
274 as Li Xiaobo zhuan [1]. In his main text, however, he refers the material from the ZLBC to a → Hou Wei shu 後魏書. Li Xiaobo was a man of Zhao jun 趙郡, now Zhao xian 趙縣 in He bei 河北. He held high offices during the Northern Wei reign of Emperor Tai Wu di 太 武帝 (424-451).

He helped to compile the Wu dai shi zhi 五代 史志, “Historical Treatises on the Five Dynasties,” the → Jin shu 晉書, and other books. He also completed the work of his father Li Dashi 李大師, arranging virtually alone the historical events of eight dynasties, thus producing the → Nan shi 南史 and the → Bei shi 北史. LSZ only lists the Bei shi in his bibliography but also cites the Nan shi in his main text. In addition, he cites a → Hou Wei shu 後魏書, which he incorrectly attributes to Li. LSZ refers to Li as Li Yanshou [9] and cites some recipes as Li Yanshou fang 李延壽方, “Recipe of Li Yanshou,” [2], but the origin of these is uncertain.

LSZ refers to his father as Li Yanwen [3], as Yanwen 言聞 [4], and as Ziyu [1], but also respectfully calls him Yuechi zi 月池子, “Master of the Moon Pond,” [1], Yuechi [2], and Yuechi weng 月池翁, “Old Man of the Moon Pond,” [2].

The original texts of his writings were lost but were restored and published as the Li Beihai ji 李北海集, “Collection of Li Beihai,” during Ming 明 times.

LSZ states that when Li Zhi was in office in Huai zhou 懷州, he obtained a recipe for a “polygonum pill” (he shou wu wan 何首烏丸). However, these polygonum pills were not known during Song times, so the story may be the creation of a jia jing 嘉靖 reign period (1522-1567) alchemist. LSZ mentions Li Zhi in SE he shou wu 何首烏.

AN Liang shi zong yao fang 梁氏總要方, “Summary of Recipes by Mr. Liang.” Written by an otherwise unknown Liang shi 梁氏, “Mr. Liang.” DC and size uncertain. The Southern Song Zhu shi ji yan fang 朱氏集驗方 (→ Ji yan fang 集驗方 ) of Zhu Zuo 朱佐 (→ Zhu shi 朱 氏) cites the work as Liang shi zong yao fang. LSZ takes over this citation in his main text and lists the title in his bibliographical sections. Liang shu 梁書, “History of the Liang” [4] Standard history of the Liang 梁 dynasty, written in annal-biography style (ji zhuan ti 紀傳體). Written by Yao Silian 姚思廉. DC 629-635. 56 juan. The book details the history of the Southern Liang dynasty. The book was based on a Sui 隋 dynasty draft by Yao’s father Yao Cha 姚察, and Yao Siliang received an imperial order to complete and expand the work in 629. He submitted it to court after 7 years. The history preserves many contemporary ideas and book titles and also contains information on medicine. LSZ neither lists the book in his bibliographical sections nor does he indicate an author. He does, however, cite it in the main text. These quotations are also found in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and other books, so LSZ might have taken his material from there. He might also have mistaken the → Liang shi 梁史 for the Liang shu in his bibliographical sections. Liang si gong ji 梁四公記, “record of the Four Lords of Liang” Lost book. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” AN Si gong ji 四公記, “Record of the Four Lords,” Liang si gong zi zhuan 梁四公子傳, “Biography of the Four Lord-Masters of Liang.” The si gong zi 四公子, “Four Lord-Masters,” is an error for si gong 四公, “Four Lords.” The book is attributed to various authors, either to Lu Shen 盧詵, Zhang Shuo 張説, or Lian Zaiyan 梁載言, all Tang 唐 dynasty authors. Of these figures, Liang Zaiyan passed the jin shi examinations in 675. The book details the history and geography of the Northern and Southern dynasties and before, based on the conversations of four extremely learned men (the four lords) of Southern Liang with Emperor → Liang Wu di 梁武帝 and his ministers. It includes much information on distant places, extraordinary events, and magical things. Incomplete chapters are found in the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記, the → Shuo fu 説郛, and other books, and the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 also cites some smaller fragments. The → ZLBC cites two fragments from the Tai ping guang ji as Liang si gong zi zhuan, which LSZ takes over. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text using the erroneous name Liang si gong zi ji 梁四公子記, “Record of the Four Lord-Masters of Liang,” [3], and labels his other quotations Liang si gong zi zhuan [2], Liang si gong ji [1], or erroneously as → Liang Jie gong zhuan 梁杰公傳 [1].

The book describes the geographical features and scenery of the He xi 河西 corridor in present-day Gan su 甘肅. Fragments are quoted in the → Chu xue ji 初學記, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御 覽, and other books. LSZ cites the book second hand in his bibliographical sections and the main text. However, misunderstanding the Tai ping yu lan, which lists the Liang zhou yi wu zhi alongside with the → Nan zhou yi wu zhi 南州異 物志 of → Wan Zhen 萬震, LSZ erroneously makes Wan Zhen the author of the Liang zhou yi wu zhi as well. Liang Zhuangsu gong 梁莊肅公, “Honorable Mr. Liang Zhuangsu” (1000-1070) [1] This is Liang Shi 梁適, a Northern Song 宋 high official.

In the main text he refers to the author as Gao Wenhu and to the book as Liao zhou xian lu 蓼州閑錄, “Idle Notes from Liao zhou,” [1].

During Ming times, every story
284 was supplemented with a four character phrase of praise and a summary at the end of every section, thus imitating the structure of the Lie nü zhuan 列女傳, “Biographies of Exemplary Women.” From Jin 晉 times on, all works on Daoist immortals were based on this book.

285 The same passage is found in the → Nan fang cao mu zhuang 南方草木狀, the → Ling biao lu yi 岭表錄異, and other books. However, the Tai ping guang ji and Tai ping yu lan, both major sources for LSZ, only quote the term “sweet gum seed ghost” (feng zi gui 楓子鬼) from the Lin chuan ji, so LSZ probably miscopied the term from there.

The → Shuo fu 説 郛 includes a reconstruction but does not indicate an author. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections, attributing it to Dongfang Shuo. He also cites it second hand from other sources in the main text, referring to the work as Lin yi ji [4] and as Lin yi guo ji 林邑國記, “Records of the State Lin yi,” [1].

According to a legend in the → Nan fang cao mu zhuang 南方草木狀, during the Jin 晉 period the King of Lin yi had a grudge against the King of Nan yue 南越 (→ Zhao Tuo 趙佗).

The title refers to the native

The compilation was begun during the late Northern Song 宋 dynasty by Xue Ang 薛昂, and after the Southern Song there were many printed editions that all contain poetry and essays of Wang Anshi. LSZ lists the collection in his bibliographical sections but does not seem to cite it in the main text. One poem of Wang’s that LSZ does cite, the Ying shi 癭詩, “Poem about Goitre,” [1], does not appear in the Linchuan ji but is found in the → Shi wen lei ju 事文類聚 of → Zhu Mu 祝穆 and the Wang Jing gong shi zhu 王荊公詩注, “Notes on the Poetry of Wang Jing gong,” of Li Bi 李壁. The Shi wen lei ju is an important reference work for LSZ, so it is to be assumed that it was his source for the poem.

289 Ling cao pian 靈草篇, “Chapter on Numinous Herbs” [1] Daoist piece of writing. The → Zao hua zhi nan 造化指南 lists 53 types of “numinous herbs” (ling cao 靈草), so possibly the Ling cao pian is a chapter from this book. However, the term ling cao also appears in various other Daoist books, and which text LSZ is referring to in SE yan fu zi 鹽麩子 remains uncertain. Ling di 靈帝, “Emperor Ling” (157-189) [1] This is Liu Hong 劉宏, the Eastern Han 漢 emperor, r. 167-189.

The book had limited circulation from Jin 晉 to Tang 唐 times and was first printed in 1155. It discusses conduits and network vessels, acupuncture points, viscera, disease mechanisms and acupuncture practice in detail. LSZ cites the book as Ling shu jing [11], as Zhen jing [1], as Ling shu 靈樞, “Numinous Pivot,” [3], and as Ling 靈, “Numinous,” [1]. He also cites individual chapters, i.e., the Ben zang lun 本臟論, “Basic Discourse on the Long-Term Depots,” [1], the Gu du pian 骨 度篇, “Chapter on Bone Measurement,” [1], and the Jiu zhen lun 九針論, “Discourse on the Nine Needles,” [1]. Ling xian lu 靈仙錄, “records of Numinous Immortals” [1] Probably an incorrect name of a book. See bibliography of the BCGM. LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections without indicating an author, but in the main text refers to a → Yun xian lu 雲仙錄, which is in turn not cited in his bibliography. Thus, Ling xian lu might be an erroneous designation for this work. Ling yuan fang 靈苑方, “recipes from the Numinous Garden” [24] Lost Northern Song 宋 medical recipe book. FE Sui chu tang shu mu 遂初堂書 目, “Catalogue of the Hall of Entering Seclusion.” Written by → Shen Gua 沈 括. DC qing li 慶歷 to xi ning 熙寧 reign periods (1041-1077). 20 juan. Fragments are found in various sources including the → ZLBC, the → You you xin shu 幼幼新書, and the → Fu ren liang fang 婦人良方. LSZ cites the book second hand from these sources. Ling zhi ji 靈芝記, “Ganoderma records” [1] Lost book. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Attributed there to an otherwise unknown → Mu Xiujing 穆修靖. DC Tang 唐 or Song 宋 (?). 5 juan. The Song shi claims the book was annotated by Luo Gongyuan 羅公逺, a legendary Daoist immortal said to have lived during the kai yuan 開元 reign period (712-741). Since the attribution of annotations to Luo Gongyuan is probably false, it is to be assumed that the book was written sometime between the Tang and Song dynasties. The lost text is not cited in any later books, and LSZ likewise only lists the book in his bibliographical sections without citing it in the main text.
291 Ling zhi rui cao jing 靈芝瑞草經, “The Ganoderma and Rui-Herb Classic” Anonymous Daoist book. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. DC and size uncertain. LSZ cites it second hand from the ZLBC as Ling zhi rui cao jing [1] in his bibliographical sections and as Rui cao jing 瑞草經, “The Rui Herb Classic,” [1] in the main text. Linghu jiang jun 令狐將軍, “General Linghu” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty general. Personal name unknown, a contemporary of → Liu Yuxi 劉禹錫 (772-842). According to the → Chuan xin fang 傳信方, Liu Yuxi frequently suffered from dysentery until the general supplied him with a recipe with he li le 訶黎勒 as the main ingredient, and he was cured.

Liu an 劉安 (179-122 BC) Western Han 漢 prince, thinker, and literary scholar, a grandson of the Han founder Liu Bang 劉邦 (→ Han Gao zu 漢高祖). A man of Feng 豐 in Pei jun 沛郡, now part of Jiang su 江蘇. He succeeded his father as Huai nan wang 淮 南王, “Prince of Huai nan,” and was thus called Huai nan gong 淮南公, “Lord of Huai nan,” or Huai nan zi 淮南子, “Master of Huai nan.” Liu gathered a great number of scholars and masters of recipes (fang shi 方士) at his court and collected their ideas and knowledge into the → Huai nan zi 淮南子, one of the philosophical miscellaneous works (za jia 雜家) of the Western Han. Along with the Huai nan zi, Liu is also attributed the → Huai nan wan bi shu 淮南 萬畢術. Later works on life cultivation often assume his name for authorship, sometimes calling him Liu Jun’an 劉君安. In 122 Liu An failed in a coup attempt against → Han Wu di 漢武帝 and commited suicide. LSZ refers to Liu as Liu An [1], as Huai nan wang [2], and as Liu Jun’an [2]. The quotations labeled Liu Jun’an are taken from the → ZLBC, which attributes methods for life cultivation from the → Fu qi jing yi fang 服氣精義方 to Liu. LSZ also transmits the legend of Liu An as the inventor of dou fu 豆腐. Liu An is attributed other works as well, e.g., the → Huai nan wang shi jing 淮南王食經, but there is no evidence that these were actually written by him. Liu an 柳岸 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official. Served as army supervisor of Xiang zhou 襄州. According to the → Chuan xin fang 傳信方, his wife (→ Dou shi 竇氏) suffered from “oral gan-illness” (kou gan 口疳) for 15 years.

In 1393 he received his first literary name, Gaodao 高道, “Great Dao,” and went to live at a Daoist temple in Nan jing 南京. After moving to Bei jing 北京, he received the literary name Changchun zhenren 長春真人, “The Perfected One of Eternal Spring,” in 1425 and was therefore mostly called Liu Changchun. Liu edited the eight medical texts transmitted to him by his teacher and passed them on to his follower → Shao Yizheng 邵以正, who supplemented and compiled them to produce the collection → Qing nang za zuan 青囊雜纂. When quoting individual books from this collection, LSZ frequently confuses the different authors. He attributes the same → Jing yan fang 經驗方 to Shao Yizheng and erroneously in other places to Liu Changchun or Zhao Yizhen, and the → Ji ji xian fang 濟急 仙方 is attributed to all three authors as well. Liu Chun 劉純 [6] Ming 明 dynasty medical theorist. Style name Zonghou 宗厚. Originally from Wu ling 吳陵 in Huai nan 淮南, he moved to Xian ning 咸寧 in Guan zhong 關中, now Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西, during the hong wu 洪武 reign period (1368-1398). His father was a disciple of → Zhu Zhenheng 朱震亨 and a famous physician, and Liu followed in his footsteps studying with his father and other important physicians of the time, Feng Tinggan 馮庭幹 among others. The Yi xue zhe zhong 醫學折衷, “Synthesis of Medical Studies,” of Feng’s teacher → Xu Yanchun 徐彥純 was revised and enlarged by Liu Chun to produce the → Yu ji wei yi 玉機微義. Liu was also the author of the → Yi jing xiao xue 醫經小學, the Shang han zhi li 傷寒治例, “Examples for the Treatment of Harm Caused by Cold,” the → Za bing zhi li 雜病治例, and other books. LSZ, in the bibliographical entry on the → Ben cao ge kuo 本草歌括, also attributes a → Ge kuo 歌括 and a → Yao xing fu 藥性賦 to Liu but only cites one poem of his on a wei 阿魏. This material is taken from a section called Yao xing zhi zhang 藥性指 掌, “Showing the Easy Matters Concerning the Nature of Medicinals,” in the Yi jing xiao xue and not from any individual book called Ben cao ge kuo. Liu Cong 劉聰 (died 318) [1] Ruler of Former Zhao 趙 during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, r. 310-318. Son of → Liu Yuan 劉淵. According to the Shi liu guo chun qiu 十六國春秋, “Spring and Autumn Annals of the Sixteen Kingdoms” (→ Shi liu guo shi 十六國史),

During the reign of → Song Zhen zong 宋真宗 (r. 998-1022) he was famous for his medical skills and doctrines that differed from what was customary at the time. The → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方 quotes a recipe Liu employed to cure “suspended obstruction-illness” (xuan yong 懸癰). In SE gan cao 甘草, LSZ gives the → Yong ju fang lun 癰 疽方論 of → Li Xun 李迅 as his source for this recipe, but the extant version of this text has no such content. Liu de 劉德 [1] Jin 晉 dynasty physician. A man of Peng cheng 彭城, now Xu zhou 徐州 in Jiang su 徐州.

Liu fu 榴賦, “rhapsody on the Pomegranate” [1] Western Jin 晉 fu 賦. AN Shi liu fu 石榴賦, “Rhapsody on the Pomegranate.” Written by → Fu Xuan 傅玄.

He wrote the Mai jue li xuan mi yao 脈訣理玄秘 要, “Mysterious Arcane Essentials of the Principles of Rhymed Instructions on [Movements in] the Vessels,” and numerous other medical books. LSZ mentions him in SE yang 羊. Liu Gen bie zhuan 劉根別傳, “Supplementary Biography of Liu Gen” Lost, anonymous Daoist text. See bibliography of the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御 覽. DC Eastern Jin 晉.

294 漢武帝 (r. 140-87 BCE), who is said to have retired to Mount Song 嵩 to live as an ascetic. Fragments of the Liu Gen bie zhuan are found in the Tai ping yu lan, the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, and other books. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text as Liu Gen bie zhuan [2] and Liu Gen zhuan 劉根傳, “Biography of Liu Gen,” [1] from the Tai ping yu lan, which only refers to a Liu Gen bie zhuan. Liu Gen zhuan 劉根傳 → Liu Gen bie zhuan 劉根別傳 Liu Gongfu 劉貢父 (1023-1089) [1] This is the style name of Liu Ban 劉攽, a Northern Song 宋 high official and historiographer.

After dissecting its entrails and stuffing them with an herb, the roebuck came back to life and stood up. Ever since, this herb (identified by at least one author as di song 地菘, which is tian ming jing 天名精) was used to treat wounds, and it was called “Liu Huo’s herb” (liu huo cao 劉㦎草). LSZ mentions him in SE·tian ming jing 天名精. Liu Ji 劉績 [7] Late Yuan 元, early Ming 明 figure, sometimes written Liu Ji 鎦績. Style name Mengxi 孟熙. His ancestors came from Luo yang 洛陽 but later moved to the Shan yin 山陰 area. This is why the Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Bibliography of the Thousand Acre Hall,” makes him a man of Kuai ji 會稽, now Shao xing 紹興 in Zhe jiang 浙江. His father was an expert in the → Mao shi 毛
295 詩 and headed a private academy during Yuan times. Liu Ji took up his father’s scholarly traditions and thus developed a critical eye for the interpretation of literature. He was the author of the → Fei xue lu 霏雪錄 and the lost Song yang gao shi lü 嵩陽稿詩律, “Rules of Prosody in the Drafts from Song yang.” During early Ming there was another person of the name Liu Ji (style name Yongxi 用 熙, literary name Luquan 廬泉, “Hut Source,” a man of Jiang xia 江夏 in present-day Hu bei 湖北), but that was not the author of the Fei xue lu.

On the basis of the Yong ju fang and his experiences, he wrote the now lost Gui yi fang 鬼遺方, “Recipes Handed Down by Ghosts,” in 10 juan, which, in turn, was further expanded at the very end of the 5th century to produce the → Liu Juanzi gui yi fang 劉涓子 鬼遺方.

DC (revised version) 499. 10 juan, 5 still extant. Tradition has it that Liu Juanzi received a Yong ju fang 癰疽方, “Recipes for [the Treatment of ] Obstruction- and Impediment-Illnesses,” from the ghost Huangfu 黃父, thus the name. The original 10 juan volume is lost, but some of its material is preserved in the → Wai tai mi yao
296 fang 外臺秘要方 and the → ZLBC. The extant 5 juan volume discusses the causes for abscesses, their differentiation and treatment, as well as treatment methods for metal-inflicted wounds. LSZ quotes the work as Liu Juanzi gui yi fang [13], as Gui yi fang [3], as Liu Juanzi fang 劉涓子方, “Recipes of Liu Juan zi,” [1], or simply referring to the name of the assumed author Liu Juanzi [4]. Liu Jun 劉君 [1] Liang 梁 dynasty Daoist. Details about his life are unavailable. The Ben cao jing ji zhu 本草經集注, “Collected Commentaries on the Classic of Materia Medica,” (→ MYBL) states that a Xian jing 仙經, “Classic of Immortals,” recorded his usage of “powder to guide immortals” (dao xian san 導仙散).

Liu ruyi 劉汝翼 Southern Song 宋 official, a man of Shao xing 紹興 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙 江. Liu served in a detached (zhu po 駐泊) military unit and was therefore called Liu zhu bo 劉駐泊, “Liu the Detached Official.” The → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選 方 names him as a source of several recipes and records his case histories. LSZ
298 cites one of these in SE gua lou 栝樓 but erroneously gives Liu’s name as Liu Zhu 劉駐 [1]. Liu shi 劉氏, “Mr. Liu”, “Mrs. Liu” Name of various persons, mostly medical authors. In three cases it is impossible to identify the person referred to. [4] In connection with the → Bao shou tang jing yan fang 保壽堂經驗方, this is Liu Tianhe 劉天和 (→ Liu Songshi 劉松石).

Liu shi xiao er fang 劉氏小兒方, “Mr. Liu’s recipes for [the Treatment of ] Children” [1] Lost book on pediatric recipes. EE BCGM. No details available. The book is not listed in LSZ’s bibliographical sections, but one recipe is quoted in the main text.

Liu Shizhen 劉師貞 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty person. Style name Wentong 文通, a man of Peng cheng 彭城, now Xu zhou 徐州 in Jiang su 江蘇. The → Shi xi 史系 relates a story of how he served his relatives with utmost piety and in a dream was shown a recipe with qiang huo 羌活 to cure wind disease by a divine person.

Written by Zhou Boqi, but LSZ mistakenly attributes the work to → Zhou Bi 周弼. See → Shuo wen zi yuan 説文字原 for more information. Liu Shuo 劉搠 → Liu Yuan 劉淵 Liu Song Wen di 劉宋文帝 (407-453) This is Liu Yijiang 劉義隆, emperor of the Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty, r. 424-453. LSZ informs of a woman who transformed to a male during his reign, and of → Huang Xiu 黃秀 who transformed into a bear.

LSZ refers to him as Liu Songshi [17], as Liu Songhuang [2], or just as Songhuang 松篁 [1] or Tianhe 天和 [1]. References to Liu shi 劉氏, “Mr. Liu”, alone could be to a number of writers including Liu Songshi.
300 Liu tai hou 柳太后, “Empress dowager Liu” [3] Northern and Southern dynasties person, mother of the last emperor of Chen 陳, Chen Shubao 陳叔寶, r. 582-589.

The later Zheng zhi zhun sheng 證治准繩, “Guidelines for Treating Pathological Conditions,” juan 83, also refers to Liu Tidian following its listing of a “four sages powder” (si sheng san 四聖散). Hence, a book of Liu’s may still have been extant during Ming times.

However, when mentioning these names he doesn’t always specify which of Liu’s books he is referring to. Liu wen 柳文 → Liu Zihou wen ji 柳子厚文集 Liu Wuming 劉無名 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty person, fl. around the kai cheng 開成 reign period (836-840). A man of Cheng du 成都. The → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記, citing the Xian chuan shi yi 仙傳拾遺, “Supplementary Amplification to the Transmission of Immortals,” states that Liu ingested realgar and obtained longevity. LSZ cites this story in SE xiong huang 雄黃 but disqualifies it as the unreliable rhetoric of alchemists. Liu Wuniang 劉五娘 [2] Tang 唐 dynasty female medical specialist. According to the → Ben cao shi yi 本 草拾遺, she used decoctions with nu hui mu 奴會木 to cure children of “emaciation detriment” (shou sun 瘦損). LSZ erroneously gives a → Hai yao 海藥 as his source for this story. In addition he quotes a recipe associated with Liu Wuniang from the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方, which is simply referred to a Liu shi 劉氏, “Mr./Mrs. Liu,” in the original text.
301 Liu Xi 劉熙 [23] Eastern Han 漢 expert on lexicography. Style name Chengguo 成國, a man of Bei hai 北海, now Chang le 昌樂 in Shan dong 山東. He was made governor (tai shou 太守) of Nan an 南安 in present-day Fu jian 福建 but was forced to flee from there during the jian an 建安 reign period (196-220). Liu Xi’s expertise in lexicography was strongly influenced by his knowledge of the etymology of characters. He was the author of the → Shi ming 釋名, one of the most important Han dynasty works on Chinese etymology. Liu Xiang 劉向 (c. 77-6 BCE) [4] Western Han 漢 Confucian scholar and writer. Born as Liu Gengsheng 劉更生, style name Zizheng 子政, a man of Pei jun 沛郡, now Pei xian 沛縣 in Jiang su 江蘇. He held various literary offices at court and was ordered to revise all kinds of books. He thus was able to compile the Bie lu 別錄, “Supplementary Record,” (not to be mistaken for the → MYBL), the earliest bibliographic work of China and a model for all later Chinese bibliographies. He revised and edited a great number of texts such as the → Chu ci 楚辭, the → Guan zi 管子 and the → Zhan guo ce 戰國策. Still extant of his own works are the → Hong fan wu xing zhuan 洪範五行傳, the → Shuo yuan 説苑. LSZ also attributes the → Lie xian zhuan 列仙傳 to Liu Xiang, but this is doubted by post-Song 宋 scholars. Liu Xinqi 劉欣期 Man of the Eastern Jin 晉 dynasty. No details about his life available. Author of the → Jiao zhou ji 交州記. LSZ cites him as Liu Xinqi [10] and mistakenly writes his name Liu Xinqi 劉歆期 [1]. Liu Xinqi 劉歆期 → Liu Xinqi 劉欣期 Liu xiu cai Chunchen 劉秀才純臣, “Cultivated Talent Liu Chunchen” [1] This is Liu Chunchen 劉純臣, a Northern Song 宋 scholar. A man of Hai zhou 海州, apparently a candidate in the metropolitan examinations. He was approached by → Shen Gua 沈括 for details about the effects of honeysuckle vine (cf. → Wang Qi 王琪). LSZ mentions him in SE ren dong 忍冬. Liu Xuanzhen 劉玄真 Tang 唐 dynasty Daoist, fl. during the reign of → Tang Xuan zong 唐玄宗 (r. 712-756). Legend has it that he reached an age of approximately 300 years and consumed “dark and bright powder” (xuan ming fen 玄明粉) to prolong his life. This is recorded in the Xuan ming fen zhuan 玄明粉傳, “Notes on Dark and Bright Powder” (→ Xuan ming fen fang 玄明粉方). LSZ refers to him as Liu Xuanzhen [1] and as Xuanzhen 玄真 [1]. Liu Xun 劉恂 [31] Tang 唐 dynasty official. According to the → Sun pu 筍譜 of the Song 宋 monk → Zanning 贊寧 , Liu Xun held a post in Guang zhou 廣州 during the reign of Emperor Zhao zong 昭宗 (r. 889-904) and moved to Nan hai 南海 after that.

302 Liu Xun 劉勛 [1] Official of the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period. Style name Zitai 子台, a man of Lang ya 琅琊 in present-day Shan dong 山東. Served as governor of He nei 河內 and as a general. The commentary by Pei Songzhi 裴鬆 之 to the → Hua Tuo bie zhuan 華佗別傳 in the Wei zhi 魏志, “Records of Wei,” (→ San guo zhi 三國志) relates the story of → Hua Tuo 華佗 curing Liu Xun’s daughter of an ulcer. LSZ cites this in SE gou 狗. Liu yan 劉兗 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official, served as Court Gentleman for Ceremony (feng li 奉 禮). Further details unknown. The → Chuan xin fang 傳信方 states that he used jia xiang 甲香 and other fragrant drugs to make perfume and incense. LSZ mentions him in SE hai luo 海螺. Liu yang 劉陽 → Liu Yi 劉易 Liu yi 劉易 Northern Song 宋 hermit who lived in seclusion on Mount Wang wu 王屋. According to the → Meng xi bi tan 夢溪筆談, once he witnessed a spider biting a taro stalk to cure itself from a bee sting. Liu Yi thereafter used taro juice to cure bee stings. This story is quoted in the → ZLBC where Liu’s name is erroneously written Liu Tang 劉湯. LSZ takes it over in SE yu 芋 but again changes the name to an incorrect Liu Yang 劉陽 [1]. Liu yiqing 劉義慶 (403-444) [4] Literary scholar of the Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty. Style name Libo 季伯, a man of Peng cheng 彭城 now Xu zhou 徐州 in Jiang su 江蘇. He was a member of the Liu Song ruling house and held the hereditary rank of Prince of Lin chuan 臨川 as well as various high civil and military appointments.

Liu yu 劉裕 (363-422) This is the emperor and founder of the Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty, Song Gao zu 宋 高祖, r. 420-422. Style name Deyu 德輿, baby name Jinu 寄奴. The pharmaceutical drug liu ji nu 劉寄奴 was named after him.

Liu yu 劉郁 [9] Yuan 元 dynasty official. Style name Wenji 文季, literary name Guiyu 歸愚, “Returning to Simplicity,” a man of Zhen ding 真定 in He bei 河北. (AV Hun yuan 渾源 county in Da tong 大同, Shan xi 山西). He held various offices and even rose to the post of Investigating Censor (jian cha yu shi 監察御史) during the reign of qan Möngke (r. 1251-1259). In 1259, in connection with the campaigns of Hüle’ü, younger brother of qan Möngke and of Qubilai-qan (r. 1260-1294), Liu was sent west. He received an audience by Hüle’ü in Persia and, among other things, visited Baghdad, which had recently been captured by the Mongols. He
303 recorded his journey and much information on local geography and customs in the → Xi shi ji 西使記. Liu yuan 劉淵 (died 310) Founder and ruler of the Sixteen Dynasties Kingdom of Former Zhao 趙, r. 304310. Member of the Xiongnu 匈奴 tribes, style name Yuanhai 元海. According to the → Jin shu 晉書, his mother was pregnant for 13 months before she gave birth to him. LSZ takes this over in SE ren gui 人傀 but erroneously writes Liu’s name Liu Shuo 劉搠 [1]. Liu yuan 劉掾, “Clerk Liu” [1] This is LSZ’s designation for Liu Xiang 劉向, a Song 宋 dynasty person. According to the → Bo zhai bian 泊宅編, Liu once resorted to gan shi 干柿 to cure “long-term depot poisoning” (zang du 臟毒). → Fang Shao 方勺 states: “My cousin Liu Xiang serves as yan yuan 嚴掾,” so yan yuan may have been some sort of civilian post. LSZ abbreviates Liu’s name and title to Liu yuan 劉掾 in SE shi 柹. Liu yuanlin 劉淵林 [3] Jin 晉 dynasty person. Details about his life are unavailable. He wrote a commentary on the → San du fu 三都賦 of → Zuo Si 左思, which is preserved in the → Wen xuan 文選. LSZ cites his annotations to the Shu du fu 蜀都賦, “Rhapsody on the Capital of Shu,” and the Wu du fu 吳都賦, “Rhapsody on the Capital of Wu.” Liu yuanshao 劉元紹 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty person. Details about his life are unavailable. The → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 quotes a comment of his on the yong yu 鳙魚, and LSZ takes this over. The → ZLBC lists a Liu Yuanshao shu 劉元紹書, “Book by Liu Yuanshao,” in its bibliography, but no such book is known of. Liu yuxi 劉禹錫 (772-842) Tang 唐 dynasty writer and philosopher. Style name Mengde 夢得. A man of Luo yang 洛陽 in present-day He nan 河南, jin shi 793. Liu held various high literary and other appointments including a post as Adviser to the Heir Apparent (tai zi bin ke 太子賓客), thus he was known as Liu bin ke 劉賓客. He collected various medical recipes considered proven and compiled the now lost → Chuan xin fang 傳信方, which is frequently quoted by LSZ. Liu’s literary collection Liu bin ke wen ji 劉賓客文集, “Literary Collection of Liu the Adviser,” survives, listed in the BCGM as → Liu Yuxi ji 劉禹錫集. LSZ also cites the poem → Gou qi jing shi 枸杞井詩 separately and uses material from the Liu gong jia hua lu 劉公 嘉話錄, “Record of Fine Talks with the Honorable Mr. Liu,” (→ Liu Yuxi jia hua lu 劉禹錫嘉話錄) by Liu’s disciple Wei Xuan 韋絢. However, the → Han ju shi 寒具詩 that he attributes to Liu Yuxi is actually a work of → Su Shi 蘇軾. LSZ refers to Liu as Liu Yuxi [39], as Yuxi 禹錫 [1], and as Liu Mengde 劉夢得 [3]. Liu Yuxi ji 劉禹錫集, “Collection of Liu yuxi” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty collection of poems and essays. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新 唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” AN Liu

LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not mention the title again in the main text. However, the → Gou qi jing shi 枸杞井詩 cited there was taken from this collection. Liu Yuxi jia hua lu 劉禹錫嘉話錄, “record of Fine Talks with Liu yuxi” [3] This is LSZ’s name for the Liu gong jia hua lu 劉公嘉話錄, “Record of Fine Talks with the Honorable Mr. Liu,” a Tang 唐 dynasty collection of brush note stories (bi ji xiao shuo 筆記小説). FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” AN Liu bin ke jia hua lu 劉賓客嘉話錄, “Record of Fine Talks with Liu the Adviser.” Written by Wei Xuan 韋絢. DC 848. 1 juan. The author Wei Xuan (9th century) was a Tang official. Style name Wenming 文明, a man of Jing zhao 京兆, now Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西. Wei held a post as a Military Commissioner (jie du shi 節度使) during the xian tong 咸通 reign period (860-874). As a young boy, he was a follower of → Liu Yuxi 劉禹錫 and was allowed to serve on his teacher in 821. He thus was able to listen to Liu’s speeches, which he later recalled and recorded to create the Liu gong jia hua lu. Liu zhan 六占 → Bai Kong liu tie 白孔六帖 Liu Zhang 劉璋 (died 219) Three Kingdoms period governor of Yi zhou 益州 (Shu 蜀), also called Shu wang 蜀王, “Prince of Shu.” LSZ refers to him in connection with qing tian he 青田核 as Shu wang [1] and Liu Zhang [1]. He takes his material from the → Gu jin zhu 古今注 , but this source actually refers to → Liu Zhang 劉章 and not Liu Zhang 劉璋. Liu Zhang 劉章 (200-176) Western Han 漢 imperial clansman, a grandson of the Han founder Liu Bang 劉 邦 (→ Han Gao zu 漢高祖). When after the death of Empress Lü 呂 (→ Lü tai hou 呂太后) the Lü clan planned a rebellion, Chen Ping 陳平, Zhou Bo 周勃, and Liu Zhang, enfeoffed as Marquis of Zhu xu (Zhu xu hou 朱虛侯) conspired and successfully eliminated the entire Lü group. Liu Zhang was awarded the title Prince of Cheng yang (Cheng yang wang 城陽王). According to the → Gu jin zhu 古今注 , Liu Zhang obtained two seeds of qing tian he 青田核. These fruit looked like peaches, but their seeds were able to hold several dou 斗 of liquid and when filled with water, the water would turn into wine. This Liu Zhang may have been the Marquis of Zhu xu. LSZ takes over this story but changes Liu’s name to → Liu Zhang 劉璋, the prince of Shu 蜀. The → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎 cites a very similar story but does not mention Liu’s name. Instead, it states that the → Shu hou zhu 蜀後主 possessed two large capsules of peach seeds with the same properties.
305 Liu Zhen 劉臻 (527-598) [1] Sui 隋 dynasty high official. Style name Xuannie 宣摰, a man of Xiang 相 in Pei guo 沛國. He served in various high court posts and has a biography in the → Sui shu 隋書. He loved to eat xian 蜆 shells. Because their name was a homophone with his father’s personal name Xian 顯, he changed their name to bian luo 扁螺, “flat snail.” LSZ cites this in SE xian 蜆. Liu Zhonghai 劉仲海 → Liu Zhonghui 劉仲晦 Liu Zhonghui 劉仲晦 Official of Jin 金 and Yuan 元 times. According to the → Wei sheng bao jian 衛 生寶鑒, he consumed too much sour flavor eating quinces in 1269 and therefore suffered from a “dripping disease” (lin bing 淋病). LSZ takes this over in SE mu gua 木瓜 but erroneously writes Liu’s name Liu Zhonghai 劉仲海 [1]. Liu Zhu 劉駐 → Liu Ruyi 劉汝翼 Liu zi 柳子 → Liu Zongyuan 柳宗元 Liu Zihou 柳子厚 → Liu Zongyuan 柳宗元 Liu Zihou shi 柳子厚詩 → Liu Zihou wen ji 柳子厚文集 Liu Zihou wen 柳子厚文 → Liu Zihou wen ji 柳子厚文集 Liu Zihou wen ji 柳子厚文集, “Literary Collection of Liu Zihou” Collection of poems and essays.

AN Liu Hedong ji 柳河東集, “Collection of Liu Hedong.” 45 juan, plus a 3 juan supplement (current edition). DC Tang 唐 with later additions. There are numerous editions with considerable variation among them. LSZ lists the collection as Liu Zihou wen ji [1] in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it as such in the main text. He does, however, refer directly and indirectly to a number of writings and verses from the collection, e.g., the Bu she shuo 捕蛇説, “Elucidations on Catching Snakes,” [1], the → Yu Cui Lian zhou shu 與崔連州書, and the Zeng wang sun wen 憎王孫文, “Essay on Hating the Wang sun-Ape,” cited as Liu wen 柳文, “Essay of [Mr.] Liu,” [1]. Material on goose down (e mao 鵝毛) is labeled Liu Zihou shi 柳子厚詩, “Poem of Liu Zihou,” [1], and material on xian ling pi 仙靈毗 Liu Zihou wen 柳子厚文, “Writings of Liu Zihou,” [1]. Liu Zinan 劉子南 Eastern Han 漢 general. According to the Shen xian gan yu zhuan 神仙感遇傳, “Stories of Encounters with Divine Immortals,” (→ Shen xian gan ying pian 神 仙感應篇), he obtained a recipe for pills with fireflies associated with → Wu Chengzi 務成子 from a Daoist named → Yin gong 尹公. In 69 he was surrounded in a battle and arrows fell on him like rain, but because he had these pills, not a single arrow could come close to his body. Hence he passed the recipe on to later generations. LSZ refers to him as Liu Zinan [1] and Zinan 子南 [3] in SE ying huo 螢火.
306 Liu Zongyuan 柳宗元 (773-819) Tang 唐 dynasty literatus and philosopher. Style name Zihou 子厚, a man of Jie 解 in He dong 河東, in the west of present-day Yun cheng 運城 in Shan xi 山 西. After his native place he was also called Liu Hedong 柳河東. Jin shi during the zhen yuan 貞元 reign period (785-805). After being appointed as prefect (ci shi 刺史) of Liu zhou 柳州, he was also called Liu Liuzhou 柳柳州. Liu has a biography in the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” and the Xin Tang shu 新唐書, “New History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書), the → Liu Zongyuan zhuan 柳宗元傳. Author of the → Jiu san si fang 救三死方 and the → Liu Zihou wen ji 柳子厚文集. LSZ refers to Liu as Liu Zongyuan [1], as Liu Zihou 柳子厚 [4], as Liu Liuzhou [2], as Liu zi 柳子, “Master Liu,” [1], or in his bibliographical sections as Liuzhou [1]. Liu Zongyuan shu 柳宗元書 → Yu Cui Lian zhou shu 與崔連州書 Liu Zongyuan zhuan 柳宗元傳, “Biography of Liu Zongyuan” [1] Biography of Tang 唐 literatus → Liu Zongyuan 柳宗元 in the Jiu Tang shu 舊 唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” and the Xin Tang shu 新唐書, “New History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書). LSZ, following the bibliography of the → ZLBC, lists the text in his own bibliographical sections, but neither of the books cite any material from it. Liuzhou 柳州 → Liu Zongyuan 柳宗元 Liuzhou jiu san si fang 柳州救三死方 → Jiu san si fang 救三死方 Long 隆 → Huangfu Long 皇甫隆 Long jiang lu 龍江錄, “records of Long jiang” [1] Name of a book. FE BCGM. No details available, and the book is not found in the standard bibliographies. LSZ cites the book in SE gu jing 古鏡, but the material he quotes about → Han Xuan di 漢宣帝 is actually from the → Xi jing za ji 西京雜記, so LSZ’s Long jiang lu citation remains uncertain and may even be an error. Long mu lun 龍木論 → Yan ke Long mu lun 眼科龍木論 Long shu lun 龍樹論 → Yan ke Long mu lun 眼科龍木論 Long yu he tu 龍魚河圖, “river Illustrations of dragon and Fish” Lost, anonymous apocryphal book (→ Wei shu 緯書). See bibliography of the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. DC probably Han 漢. Size uncertain. The book deals with celestial patterns (tian wen 天文) and heavenly bodies, geography, gods and spirits, dietary taboos, etc. Fragments are preserved in the → Qi min yao shu 齊民 要術, the Tai ping yu lan, the → Wen yuan ying hua 文苑英華, and other books. The → ZLBC cites the Long yu he tu twice, and this is taken over by LSZ, who cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text as Long yu he tu [3] and erroneously as → He yu tu 河魚圖 [1]. Lou Hu zhuan 樓護傳, “Biography of Lou Hu” [1] This is LSZ’s name for the biography of Lou Hu 樓護 contained in the You xia zhuan 游俠傳, “Biographies of Knight-Errants,” of the → Han shu 漢書. LSZ
307 refers to the text in the → Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經 entry in his bibliographical sections. Lou Hu (died c. 10 BCE) was a Han 漢 dynasty physician. Style name Junqing 君卿, a man from the state of Qi 齊. Lou came from a family of hereditary physicians and followed his father in treating elite patrons in Chang an 長安, where he became known for memorizing a large number of medical texts. Lou Juzhong 婁居中 (12th century) [2] Song 宋 dynasty physician. A man of Dong guo 東虢, now Xing ze 滎澤 in He nan 河南. He practiced medicine and sold medicinals in the Southern Song capital of Lin an 臨安 (now Hang zhou 杭州 in Zhe jiang 浙江). He was wellversed in pediatric medicine and placed special emphasis on dietary therapy. Author of the → Shi zhi tong shuo 食治通説. Lou Quanshan 樓全善 (c. 1320-1389) [1] This is the style name of Lou Ying 樓英 (also known as Lou Gongshuang 樓 公爽), a late Yuan 元, early Ming 明 dynasty physician and medical theorist. A man of Xiao shan 蕭山 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江. Lou Ying was a famous doctor, and although offered an appointment as an imperial physician during the hong wu 洪武 reign period (1368-1398), he refused due to his age. He was a friend of → Dai Yuanli 戴原禮, whom he shared his interest in medical theory with. Lou was the author of the → Yi xue gang mu 醫學綱目 and other books. Lu Ban 魯班 [1] Artisan of ancient times, considered the founding ancestor of the art of carpentry. According to the legend, his family name was Gongshu 公輸 and his personal name Ban 般, and he lived in the Spring and Autumn period state of Lu 魯. Hence he was often called Lu Ban 魯般 or Lu Ban 魯班. Many folk tales about him were transmitted. According to the → Shu yi ji 述異記, he carved a boat from magnolia wood. LSZ cites this in SE mu lan 木蘭. Lu Bao 魯褒 [2] Man of the Western Jin 晉 dynasty. Style name Yuandao 元道, a man of Nan yang 南陽 in present-day He nan 河南. Author of the → Qian shen lun 錢神論 , a condemnation of the prevalent worship of money and wealth in late Western Jin society. Lu Bosi 魯伯嗣 [2] Ming 明 dynasty pediatrician, fl. 15th century. Details about his life are unavailable. Author of the → Ying tong bai wen 嬰童百問. Lu Chen 盧諶 (284-350) [2] Eastern Jin 晉 official.

308 Lu dian 陸佃 (1042-1102) Song 宋 dynasty expert on lexicography. Style name Nongshi 農師, a man of Shan yin 山陰 in Yue zhou 越州, now Shao xing 紹興 in Zhe jiang 浙江, first-ranking jin shi 1070. He was a disciple of → Wang Anshi 王安石. Lu rose to the high post of Assistant Director of the Left (zuo cheng 左丞) but little later was dismissed to become Grand Master of the Palace (zhong dai fu 中大夫) and ultimately died while in office in Bo zhou 亳州. He has a biography in the → Song shi 宋史 and was the author of many works including the → Pi ya 埤雅 and notes to the → Han shi wai zhuan 韓詩外傳. LSZ refers to him as Lu Dian [50] and as Lu Nongshi 陸農師 [7]. Lu ding gong 魯定公 [1] Possibly the Spring and Autumn period monarch Duke Ding 定 of Lu 魯, r. 509-495 BCE. His mother was said to have taken wu jia 五加 liquor to achieve immortality. The story is cited in the → ZLBC and taken over by LSZ. However, the Ming 明 author Zhou Ying 周嬰 in his Zhi lin 卮林, “Forest of Goblets,” claims that the Lu Ding gong referred to in this story is not the Spring and Autumn duke but a later Daoist who assumed the duke’s name. This corresponds with the fact that the → Zuo zhuan 左傳 devotes book 11 to the reign of Duke Ding but does not contain the story cited in the ZLBC. Lu ding gong mu 魯定公母, “Mother of duke ding of Lu” [1] Mother of → Lu Ding gong 魯定公, said to have obtained immortality by ingesting wu jia 五加 liquor. Lu Ding gong zhuan 魯定公傳, “Biography of duke ding of Lu” [1] Fictitious biography. The → ZLBC cites a story about the mother of → Lu Ding gong 魯定公. On these grounds, its bibliographical sections list a Lu Ding gong ji 魯定公記, “Record of Duke Ding of Lu,” which is actually a fabricated title. LSZ takes over this title in his bibliography but renders it Lu Ding gong zhuan. He also cites the associated story in the main text. The Tang 唐 dynasty Shen xian fu er dan shi xing yao fa 神仙服餌丹石行藥法, “Divine Immortals’ Methods for Taking Elixirs and Minerals and Applying Pharmaceutics,” preserved in the Dong xuan 洞玄, “Cavern of Mystery,” section of the Dao zang 道藏, “Daoist Canon,” (→ Dao zang jing 道藏經) is the real source of this story, but no text called Lu Ding gong zhuan is mentioned there. It also contains a story about a “method for stone cooking by the Perfected One Donghua” (Donghua zhenren zhu shi fa 東華真人煮石法), which the ZLBC again turns into a book title, the → Donghua zhenren zhu shi jing 東華真人煮石經. It can therefore be said that both Lu Ding gong zhuan and Donghua zhenren zhu shi jing are fictitious titles, based on a misreading of the Shen xian fu er dan shi xing yao fa. Lu duoxun 盧多遜 (934-85) [1] Northern Song 宋 high official. A man of Huai zhou 怀州, now Bi yang 泌陽 in He nan 河南. He was a scholar at the Han lin 翰林 Academy and was responsible twice for the editing of the → Kai bao ben cao 開寶本草 in 973 and 974. He rose to the post of Grand Councilor (zai xiang 宰相) but was banished to Ya zhou 崖州 (now San ya 三亞 in Hai nan 海南) later in his life.
309 Lu Fangweng ji 陸放翁集, “Collection of Lu Fangweng” Southern Song 宋 anthology. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Lu You 陸游. The book does not appear in the standard bibliographies, and although LSZ lists a Lu Fangweng ji [1] in his bibliographical sections, he does not cite it directly in the main text. He makes one reference to a Lu Fangweng shi xu 陸放翁詩序, “Preface to the Poems of Lu Fangweng,” [1] there, but the material quoted is actually from Lu You’s Jian nan shi gao 劍南詩藁, “Poetry Sketches from Jian nan.” Thus, LSZ’s Lu Fangweng ji is probably identical with the Jian nan shi gao. Lu Fangweng shi xu 陸放翁詩序 → Lu Fangweng ji 陸放翁集 Lu gong 路公 → Lu Sigong 路嗣恭 Lu Guanglu 陸光祿 (665-736) [1] This is Lu Jingchu 陸景初, a Tang 唐 dynasty high official who was bestowed the personal name Xiangxian 象先 by Emperor → Rui zong 睿宗. A man of Wu xian 吳縣 in Su zhou 蘇州, now part of Jiang su 江蘇. He served in various high offices such as Minister of Public Works (gong bu shang shu 工部尚書) or Minister of Justice (xing bu shang shu 刑部尚書). He held the honorific title Grand Master of the Palace with Silver Seal and Blue Ribbon (yin qing guang lu dai fu 銀青光祿大夫), thus people called him Lu Guanglu. According to the → Sui shen bei ji fang 隨身備急方, he applied medications following a principle of “fighting like with like” (yi lei xiang gong 以類相攻). LSZ cites this in SE tao 桃. Lu Guimeng 陸龜蒙 (died c. 881) [2] Tang 唐 dynasty scholar and writer. Style name Luwang 魯望, a man of Gu su 姑蘇, now Su zhou 蘇州 in Jiang su 江蘇. He held a local post but later retired to Fu li 甫里 to live as a recluse, calling himself Jianghu sanren 江湖散人, “The Idle Man Who Retired to the Countryside,” and Fuli xiansheng 甫里先 生, “Gentleman from Fu li.” He was famous for his poetry, and various works of his are still extant, including the Li ze cong shu 笠澤叢書, “Collected Books from Li ze,” the Fu li ji 甫里集, “Collection from Fu li,” and the Song ling ji 松陵集, “Collection from Song ling.” The → TJBC cites a → Tai fu 苔賦 by Lu, and this is taken over by LSZ in his main text. LSZ also cites a → Lu Guimeng shi 陸龜 蒙詩 in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Lu Guimeng shi 陸龜蒙詩 [2] Poem by → Lu Guimeng 陸龜蒙, cited in LSZ’s bibliographical sections and his main text. The material quoted is also found in the Song ling ji 松陵集, “Collection from Song ling,” a collection of poems by Lu and his equally famous contemporary Pi Rixiu 皮日休, in a slightly different wording. Lu He 盧和 Ming 明 expert on pharmaceutics, fl. 2nd half of the 15th century. Style name Lianfu 廉夫, a man of Dong yang 東陽 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江. Author of a 2 juan → Shi wu ben cao 食物本草 and the → Danxi zuan yao 丹溪纂要. LSZ refers to him as Lu He [3], as Lianfu [1], and as Lu Lianfu 盧廉夫 [1].
310 Lu Ji 陸機 → Lu Ji 陸璣 Lu Ji 陸璣 Man from the state of Wu 吳 during the Three Kingdoms period, sometimes written Lu Ji 陸機. Style name Yuanke 元恪, probably the son of a concubine of the Wu ruling house. Author of the Mao shi cao mu niao shou chong yu shu 毛詩草 木鳥獸蟲魚疏, “Commentary on Herbs, Trees, Birds, Beasts, Worms/Bugs, and Fish in the Mao Book of Songs” (→ Shi yi shu 詩義疏). There has been much unresolved controversy through the ages about which version of Lu’s name is right. LSZ refers to him as Lu Ji 陸機 [73], as Lu Ji 陸璣 [2], and as Lu shi 陸 氏, “Mr. Lu,” [5]. Lu Ji zhu 陸機注 → Shi yi shu 詩義疏 Lu Jia 陸賈 (c. 240-170 BCE) [1] Early Western Han 漢 political thinker and writer of ci 辭 and fu 賦 poetry. A man of Chu 楚. LSZ refers to him in connection with deng hua 燈花 but does not name his source. He also refers to the → Lu Jia zhuan 陸賈傳 from the → Han shu 漢書, but the material quoted is actually from the biography of the King of Nan yue 南粵 (→ Zhao Tuo 趙佗) in the Xi nan Yi liang Yue Chao xian zhuan 西南夷兩粵朝鮮傳, “Biographies of [People of ] the Southwestern Yi, the Two Yue, and Korea,” of the Han shu. Lu Jia zhuan 陸賈傳, “Biography of Lu Jia” [1] Biography of → Lu Jia 陸賈 in book 43 of the → Han shu 漢書. However, the text quoted by LSZ is actually from the biography of the King of Nan yue 南粵 (→ Zhao Tuo 趙佗) in the Xi nan Yi liang Yue Chao xian zhuan 西南夷兩粵朝 鮮傳, “Biographies of [People of ] the Southwestern Yi, the Two Yue, and Korea,” of the Han shu.

LSZ takes this over in SE niu 牛 but erroneously writes Lu’s name Lu Kang 陸杭 [1]. Lu Lianfu 盧廉夫 → Lu He 盧和 Lu Lian zi 魯連子, “Master Lu Lian” [1] Lost book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” According to the Sui shu jing ji zhi, the text was written by a Lu Lian 魯連 of Qi 齊 and consisted of 5 juan, plus a 1 juan register. The Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書) attributes it to Lu Zhonglian 魯仲連. The → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 cites a fragment on centipedes stating that “when three of their feet are cut off, they still do not fall to the ground [because] they still have lots [of feet] left to support them.” The material LSZ quotes in SE ma lu 馬陸 sounds rather different when he states that “centipedes die but do not stiffen.” Lu Nongshi 陸農師 → Lu Dian 陸佃 Lu Nüsheng 魯女生 [1] Eastern Han 漢 master of recipes (fang shi 方士). A man of Chang le 長樂 in present-day Fu jian 福建. His full name is lost.

The → Shi wu ben cao 食物本草 of → Lu He 盧和 is cited in the BCGM as the source but does not include the recipe in question. As the fragment quoted resembles material on the usage of ji chang cao to cure “sores resulting from the urine of earwigs“, (qu sou ni chuang 蠷螋溺瘡) in the → Bo wu zhi 博物志 , the source given in BCGM may be wrong. Lu shi jing yan fang 陸氏經驗方 → Ji de tang jing yan fang 積德堂經驗方 Lu shi shi shu 陸氏詩疏 → Shi yi shu 詩義疏 Lu Sigong 路嗣供 → Lu Sigong 路嗣恭 Lu Sigong 路嗣恭 (died 780) Tang 唐 dynasty high official.

The → TJBC records a secret recipe of Lü Zihua, a man of Zhong qiu shan 中岳山, thus Lü must have lived during the Northern Song or earlier. → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 in his → Zhen gao 真誥 mentions a Lü Zihua from Shan yang 山陽, but it is unclear whether this person is identical with the one mentioned in the TJBC. The → Pu ji fang 普濟方, juan 283, in its
317 entry on mai fan shi gao 麥飯石膏 records a story about a man called Lü Xihua 呂西華 who was neither willing to reveal such a recipe to his relatives, nor to an official called → Pei Yuanwai 裴員外. The governor of He nan 河南 (→ He nan yin 河南尹) even threatened him with severe punishment in case he kept the recipe secret, but to no avail.

Lun suan qian jiu fa 論蒜錢灸法, “discussing the Garlic Coin Cauterization Method” [1] Title of a piece of writing, originally part of the Song 宋 period → Yong ju fang lun 癰疽方論. The → Wai ke jing yao 外科精要 of → Chen Ziming 陳自明 cites the text in a chapter on garlic cauterization.

See bibliography of the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. No author indicated. DC Northern and Southern Dynasties period. The Tai ping yu lan also cites a Deng Luo shan ji 登羅山記, “Record of Climbing Mount Luo,” or Deng Luo shan shu 登羅山疏, “A Commentary on Climbing Mount Luo,” by → Zhu Fazhen 竺法真 (→ Luo fu shan shu 羅浮山疏), but this is not necessarily the same book. Since the original text is lost, there is no way of telling. Fragments
318 are already found in the → Shui jing zhu 水經注, the → Yan shi jia xun 顔氏家 訓, and in various Tang 唐 and Song 宋 works. LSZ does not list the work in his bibliographical sections but cites it second hand from the Tai ping yu lan in the main text. Note that the Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song,” also lists a Luo fu shan ji by Guo Zhimei 郭之美, DC 1051. But since the Tai ping yu lan was compiled before that, it is impossible that this was the Luo fu shan ji LSZ used. Luo fu shan shu 羅浮山疏, “a Commentary on Mount Luo fu” This is LSZ’s name for the Deng Luo shan shu 登羅山疏, “A Commentary on Climbing Mount Luo,” a lost book of the Liu Song 劉宋 period. See bibliography of the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. Written by → Zhu Fazhen 竺法真. DC 5th century. The book describes local products from Mount Luo fu in Guang dong 廣東, touching upon many animal and plant products used as medicinals. Fragments are quoted in the → Qi min yao shu 齊民要術 and in various Tang 唐 and Song 宋 encyclopedias.

LSZ also quotes a → Luo fu shan ji 羅浮山記, but this is probably another book. Luo shan shu 羅山疏 → Luo fu shan shu 羅浮山疏 Luo shi 羅氏 [9] “Mr. Luo.” → Luo Yuan 羅願, author of the → Er ya yi 爾雅翼.

Luo yang hua mu ji 洛陽花木記, “record of Flowers and Trees from Luo yang” [1] Northern Song 宋 book. FE Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises,” which makes the author → Zhou Shihou 周師厚, and Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song,” which attributes the book to Zhou Xu 周序. LSZ mistakenly writes this as Zhou Xu 周敘. The → Shuo fu 説郛 preserves the book and its preface but only calls the author Zhou shi 周氏, “Mr. Zhou.” According to its preface, the book was written by Mr. Zhou in 1081 while he held a post in Luo yang. He collected texts about the tree peony and other flowers and trees of Luo yang and combined that material with information on flowers he had discovered himself, to produce his own book.

After the rebellions of the yong xi 永熙 reign period (532-534), the author saw the former capital fall into disrepair and decided to record past events and information on historic sites, thus creating the Luo yang qie lan ji. The book is divided into five parts, each covering one part of the city. It describes 55 temples and a lot of additional information associated with them. LSZ lists the book as Luo yang qie lan ji [1] in his bibliographical sections, attributing it simply to Yang shi 楊氏, “Mr. Yang.” In his main text he abbreviates the title as Qie lan ji 伽藍記, “Record of Buddhist Temples,” [1]. Luo yuan 羅願 Song 宋 dynasty philologist. Style name Duanliang 端良. Literary name Cunzhai 存齋, “Maintaining Austerity.” A man of Xi xian 歙縣, now part of An hui 安徽, jin shi 1166.

Ma jing 馬經, “Horse Classic” [3] Lost Song 宋 dynasty text on veterinary medicine. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Jia Cheng 賈誠. DC and size uncertain. In his bibliographical sections, LSZ claims that this is one of the 84 books cited from the Jiu ben 舊本, “old book,” that is, the → ZLBC, but no such book is cited there. No Ma jing by Jia Cheng is listed in any other bibliography either. LSZ quotes one fragment in his main text. He also lists another Ma jing in his bibliograph-
321 ical sections without indicating an author, so whether this is a double entry for the same book or another book remains uncertain. Ma Jun 馬均 [1] Eastern Han 漢 person, a contemporary of → Zhang Heng 張衡 (78-139). Details about his life are unavailable. The → Bo wu zhi 博物志 relates an anecdote of how Ma Jun, Zhang Heng, and → Wang Er 王尒 walked through dense fog together. LSZ cites this in SE jiu 酒. Ma Minshu 馬敏叔 (12th century?) [1] Song 宋 dynasty man. Details are unavailable, but the → Bai yi xuan fang 百一 選方 of 1196 quotes a recipe of his, so Ma must have lived before that. Ma shi fang 馬氏方, “recipe of Mr. Ma” [1] Source of a recipe, probably not a book. The only person surnamed Ma 馬 that LSZ cites a recipe of is → Ma Minshu 馬敏叔, but it remains uncertain whether this was the person that transmitted the Ma shi fang LSZ mentions in SE tou jin 頭巾. Ma shi zhong 馬侍中, “Ma, director of the Chancellery” (726-795) [1] This is Ma Sui 馬燧, a Tang 唐 dynasty high official.

The Jiu wu dai shi 舊五代史, “Old History of the Five Dynasties,” has his biography. According to the → Xi man cong xiao 溪蠻叢笑, there is a “King Ma vegetable” (Ma wang cai 馬王菜) grown in the ethnic minority areas of Hu nan. In SE wu jing 蕪菁, LSZ claims that this goes back to Ma Yin, hence the name. Ma yuan 馬援 (BCE 14 BCE-49 CE) [2] Eastern Han 漢 high official. Style name Wenyuan 文淵, a man of Mao ling 茂陵 in Fu feng 扶風, now in the northwest of Xing ping 興平 in Shaan xi 陝 西. He served as as governor (tai shou 太守) of Long xi 隴西 and held the honorific title of “General Subduing the Waves” (fu bo jiang jun 伏波將軍). The → Hou Han shu 後漢書 has his biography. While stationed in Jiao zhi 交趾, he frequently ingested coix seeds to counter the local miasmatic qi. Southern coix seeds are large, and he took them back home for cultivation whereupon the people falsely accused him of having brought back pearls. LSZ mentions Ma in SE yi yi 薏苡.

In 973 and 974, Ma, along with → Liu Han 劉翰 and others, compiled and revised the → Kai bao ben cao 開寶本草, adding his own annotations to the work. Further details about his life are unavailable.

FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍 志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Wang Shuhe 王叔和. DC 3rd century.

The book was widely disseminated during the Song 宋 and Yuan 元 dynasties. Liu Yuanbin 劉 元賓 of Northern Song and → Zhang Yuansu 張元素 of the Yuan dynasty compiled editions with commentaries. During the Southern Song, → Chen Yan 陳 言, in his → San yin fang 三因方, was the first to claim that this was the work of the Six Dynasties author → Gao Yangsheng 高陽生. Lü Fu 呂復 agreed to this in his Qun jing gu fang lun 群經古方論, “Discourses on Ancient Recipes from a Multitude of Classics,” and → Dai Qizong 戴起宗, in his → Mai jue kan wu 脈訣刊誤, vehemently refuted what he thought were Gao Yangsheng’s errors in the Mai jue. LSZ follows these opininions, clearly distinguishing between a → Mai jing 脈經 by Wang Shuhe and a Mai jue by Gao Yangsheng. Mai jue kan wu 脈訣刊誤, “Correction of Errors in the rhymed Instructions on the [Movements in the] Vessels” [2] Yuan 元 dynasty book on pulse diagnosis.

The book, imitating the style of the Xiao jing kan wu 孝經刊誤, “Correction of Errors in the Classic of Filial Piety,” is an edition of the → Mai jue 脈訣 with errors carefully marked and corrected. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Mao Chang 毛萇 [7] Western Han 漢 teacher of the → Shi jing 詩經, sometimes written Mao Chang 毛長. A man of Zhao 趙, now in the southwest of Han dan 邯鄲 in He bei 河 北 and scholar at the court of Prince Xian 獻 of He xian 河閒. Tradition has it that Mao Chang transmitted the old text version of the Shi jing called the → Mao shi 毛詩, which is the one currently in use. It is also said that he received
324 the Mao shi from the Warring States period scholar Mao Heng 毛亨, also called Da Mao gong 大毛公,“Honorable Mr. Mao Senior.” Therefore Mao Chang was called Xiao Mao gong 小毛公, “Honorable Mr. Mao Junior.” LSZ uses the general term → Shi jing zhu shu 詩經注疏 in his bibliographical sections to refer to Mao Chang’s annotations in the Mao shi as well as the later Mao shi zheng yi 毛 詩正義, “Correct Meanings of the Mao Book of Songs,” (→ Shi shu 詩疏 ) by → Kong Yingda 孔穎達. He also quotes Mao’s notes in the main text under various names.

Chen was magistrate of the Ju rong 句容 area in present-day Jiang su 江蘇, which comprised Mount Mao. Fragments of texts also called Mao shan ji are found in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and other books, but these are pre-Song works. LSZ lists a Mao shan ji in his bibliographical section without indicating an author. Since it is not cited in the main text it remains unclear which Mao shan ji he is referring to. Mao shan laoren 茅山老人, “Old Man of Mao shan” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty person who is said to have transmitted the legend of → He Shouwu 何首烏. In 812 he passed it on to → Seng Wenxiang 僧文象. Mao shi 毛詩, “The Mao Book of Songs” One of the ancient transmitted versions of the → Shi jing 詩經. Tradition has it that this version was transmitted by the Western Han 漢 scholars Mao Heng 毛亨 and → Mao Chang 毛萇, thus the name. It was regarded highly and commented on by many scholars during the Han and afterwards, resulting in the Shi jing old text (gu wen 古文) school of thought. LSZ cites the book as Mao shi [6] and Mao Chang shi zhuan 毛萇詩傳, “The Shi jing in the Tradition of Mao Chang,” [1] and refers to Mao’s annotations as Mao Chang zhu 毛萇注, “Anno-
325 tations of Mao Chang,” [2], Mao Chang shi zhu 毛萇詩注, “Annotations of Mao Chang to the Shi jing,” [1], Mao Chang shi shu 毛萇詩疏, “Commentary of Mao Chang to the Shi jing,” [1], or simply by the name of Mao Chang [1].

Much of the contents have historical value, but there is also mythological material and Daoist alchemical lore. The → ZLBC cites a passage, and LSZ takes this over in his bibliography and the main text, citing the book as Mao ting ke hua 茆亭客話 [2] and as Mao ting ke hua 茅亭客話, “Talks with Guests at the Thatch Pavilion,” [2].

However, the designation Mei shi could also refer to the Tang figure Mei Chongxian 梅崇 獻, and there is no irrefutable proof for either possibility. LSZ also claims this unidentifiable Mei shi to be the same person as → Shen shi 深師, to whom he erroneously assigns the → Jiao qi lun 腳氣論.

AN there Mei shi fang 梅師方, “Recipes of Master Mei.” Written by a → Mei shi 梅師 of uncertain identity. DC Sui 隋 or Tang 唐. The original book is lost, and fragments are preserved in the ZLBC only. LSZ lists the text as Mei shi ji yan fang [1] in his bibliographical sections and quotes the work second hand from the ZLBC as Mei shi fang [111] or simply using the name of the author, Mei shi [40]. In SE cong 蔥 he erroneously refers to the text as Mi shi fang 冞師方, “Recipes of Master Mi,” [1]. Mei yangqing 梅楊卿 [1] Song 宋 dynasty person. He is mentioned in SE wu zhu yu 吳茱萸, in connection with an “elixir of Wu the immortal” (Wu xian dan 吳仙丹) cited from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, juan 165. Cf. → Cai Dadao 蔡達道. Mei yaochen 梅堯臣 (1002-1060) Northern Song 宋 poet. Style name Shengyu 聖俞, a man of Xuan cheng 宣城 in Xuan zhou 宣州, now part of An hui 安徽. Xuan cheng was called Wan ling 宛陵 in ancient times, thus Mei Yaochen became known as Mei Wanling 梅宛 陵. He passed the jin shi examinations in his middle age and held various court appointments after that. His collection is the Wanling xiansheng wen ji 宛陵先生 文集, “Literary Collection of the Gentleman [Mei] Wanling,” or Wanling ji 宛 陵集, “Collection of [Mei] Wanling,” (→ Mei Yaochen shi 梅堯臣詩). LSZ refers to Mei as Mei Yaochen [2] and as Mei Shengyu 梅聖俞 [1].

The title Mei Yaochen shi [2] (in some editions Mei Yaochen shi ji 梅堯 臣詩集, “Poetry Collection of Mei Yaochen”) is only found in the BCGM, and the material quoted in the main text is taken from juan 53 of the Wanling ji, so this must be the book LSZ is referring to. LSZ also erroneously cites the text as Mei Shengyu ji 梅聖俞集, “Collection of Mei Shengyu,” [1] in SE gan lan 橄欖.

His minister → Han Baosheng 韓保昇 and others compiled the Chong guang ying gong ben cao 重廣英公本草, “Repeatedly Expanded Materia Medica of the Duke of Ying” (→ Shu ben cao 蜀本草) at his command, and Meng Chang himself wrote a preface to this work. Meng Chuozi 孟綽子 [1] Daoist immortal, said to have suggested ingesting wu jia 五加 and di yu 地榆 to promote longevity.

He was also appointed prefect (ci shi 刺史) of Tong zhou 同州 and was thus called Meng Tongzhou 孟同州. At the age of more than 80 years he retired to Yi yang 伊陽 Mountain to study medicine and self-cultivation. He has a biography in the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書). Meng wrote two books, the → Bi xiao fang 必效 方 and the Bu yang fang 補養方, “Recipes for Supplementation and Nourishment,” in 3 juan. The latter work was revised and expanded by → Zhang Ding 張鼎, to create the → Shi liao ben cao 食療本草. LSZ quotes the Shi liao ben cao and the Bi xiao fang. He also refers a → Jin xiao fang 近效方 to Meng, but this is probably an error. There is also one reference to a → Meng shi Shen fang 孟氏詵 方, but it is unclear where he got the title from and there is no other evidence for such a book. LSZ refers to Meng as Meng Shen [351], Shen 詵 [229], as Meng shi 孟氏, “Mr. Meng,” [4], and Meng shi Shen 孟氏詵, “Mr. Meng Shen,” [1].

There was also a 3 juan Bu bi tan 補筆談, “Supplemented Brush Talks,” by the same author and a 1 juan Xu bi tan 續筆談, “Sequel to the Brush Talks.” The book’s name derives from the “Dream Creek Park” (Meng xi yuan 夢溪園) in Run zhou 潤州 (now Zhen jiang 鎮江 in Jiang su 江蘇), where Shen is said to have written the work. The Meng xi bi tan contains much information on ancient natural science and includes a Yao yi 藥議, “Discussion of Medicinals,” in one juan. It is cited in the → ZLBC, and LSZ also frequently quotes the book’s material on medicinals. He refers to the work as Meng xi bi tan [3] and as Bi tan 筆談, “Brush Talks,” [42], sometimes labeling the title with some form of the author’s name, that is, Shen Gua, Shen shi 沈氏, “Mr. Shen,” or Shen Cunzhong 沈存中, or using one of these names alone to stand for the book.

LSZ cites the book as Ming mu jing yan fang [5], as Ming mu ji yan fang 明目集驗方, “Collected and Proven Recipes for Brightening the Eyes,” [1], and as Ming mu fang 明目方. “Recipes for Brightening the Eyes,” [3]. Books of a similar title from before LSZ’s times include the Ming mu shen yan fang 明目神驗方, “Divine, Proven Recipes for Brightening the Eyes,” and a Ming mu fang of Hu Yongnian 胡 永年 listed in the Guo shi jing ji zhi 國史經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatises of the Dynastic Histories,” but which one of these books LSZ is referring to remains to be verified.

FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” AN Bie lu 別錄, “Supplementary Records.” 3 juan. DC 3rd and 4th centuries. The MYBL is a supplement to the → Shen nong ben cao jing 神 農本草經 containing new discussions and new medicinals provided by famous physicians of the Wei 魏 and Jin 晉 dynasties, such as → Wu Pu 吳普, → Li Dangzhi 李當之, and others. The book was later reorganized and recorded by → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 (c. 456-536) to create the Ben cao jing ji zhu 本草經集 注, “Collected Commentaries on the Classic of Materia Medica,” (AN Ben cao ji jing 本草集經, “Collected Classics of Materia Medica,” DC 492-500, 7 juan). In the early manuscripts, to distinguish its own text from the Shen nong ben cao jing, the MYBL was written in black, whereas the main text of the Shen nong ben cao jing was written in vermilion. Tao Hongjing preserved this distinction when he edited the two works, entering additions into each section but keeping the black for the MYBL entries. Each had 365 entries, 730 in all. Below the name of each pharmaceutical substance, Tao described in small characters their appearance, efficacy, production areas, etc. When he added his own notes, he added his name to clarify the source of the information. The result was Tao’s Ben cao jing ji zhu. LSZ mistakenly considered Tao Hongjing as the editor of a 7 juan MYBL and never refers to the Ben cao jing ji zhu by name. Instead, he assigned all the material from the Ben cao jing ji zhu to the MYBL and frequently labeled designations
331 for the latter work with Tao’s name. He quotes the work as Ming yi bie lu [35], Tao shi bie lu 陶氏別錄, “Supplementary Records of Mr. Tao,” [2], Tao Yinju ben cao 陶隱居本草, “Materia Medica of Tao Yinju,” [3], the Tao shi ben cao 陶氏本 草, “Materia Medica of Mr. Tao,” [3], but mostly simply as Bie lu [2456]. Tao’s annotations are labeled Hongjing 弘景 [928], Tao 陶 [150], Tao shi 陶氏, “Mr. Tao,” [105], Tao Hongjing [101], Tao Yinju 陶隱居 [30], Tao zhu 陶注, “Tao’s Annotations,” [10], Tao gong 陶公, “Honorable Mr. Tao,” [2], or Tao Zhenbai 陶貞白 [1]. All the material from the Ben cao jing ji zhu was taken from the → ZLBC. One reference to a → Ming yi zhu xu 名醫注續 goes back to → Li Gao 李杲. Ming yi bie pin 名醫別品, “Supplementary Medicinals [used by] Famous Physicians” [1] This is a term used by LSZ in his bibliographical sections to refer to medicinals recorded in the → MYBL that were not included in the → Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經 yet.

Even the original book was rare, and only a few sections are quoted in the → Fu ren liang fang 婦人良方 and the → Pu ji fang 普濟方. The author Dang Yongnian lived during the 2nd half of the 11th century. According to the Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song,”, he was also the author of a 3 juan Zhi yi xin shuo 摭醫新説, “New Elucidations Extracted from Medical [Works].” This text is cited in the → Yi shuo 醫説.

The preface is preserved in the author’s Chuan jia ji 傳家集, “Collection Transmitted Within the Family.” From this preface we know that the work is a lexicographical text and its material is based on the contents of the → Ji yun 集韻. Among other things, the work included names of plants, worms/bugs, and fish, thus LSZ’s interest. He cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text, taking the material on jun qian zi 君遷子 from the Dan qian zhai lu 丹鉛摘錄, “Selected Records of Cinnabar and Lead,” (→ Dan qian lu 丹鉛錄) of → Yang Shen 楊慎, and material on the stag (zhu 麈) from the Mao shi ming wu jie 毛詩名物解, “Explanations of Famous Things in the Mao Book of Songs,” of the Song author Cai Bian 蔡卞.

Modern scholars consider the text the work of an anonymous author who falsely assumed the name of Peng Cheng. 10 juan plus a 10 juan sequel. The work contains Northern Song 宋 anecdotes and stories, poetry, and textual criticism. Much of its phraseology and contents is also found in other Song bi ji. Mo pu 墨譜, “Ink Treatise” [1] One of four parts comprising the Wen fang si pu 文房四譜, “Four Treatises on the [Tools of the] Study,” (→ Zhi pu 紙譜) of → Su Yijian 蘇易簡. LSZ cites the text in his bibliographical sections, referring it to Su shi 蘇氏, “Mr. Su.” Mo Qiangzhong 莫强中 [1] Northern Song 宋 official, fl. 11th century, the father-in-law of → Fang Shao 方 勺. Served as magistrate of Feng cheng 豐城 in present-day Jiang xi 江西. According to the → Bo zhai bian 泊宅編, he once suffered from “cold accumulations” (leng ji 冷積) in his spleen but was cured by ingesting “two worthies powder” (er xian san 二賢散).

This is a compendium of the works of the Mohist school based on the thoughts of the historical figure Mo zi (c. 468 to 376 BCE). According to tradition, Master Mo’s original name was Mo Di 墨翟 (AV Zhai Wu 翟烏), but according to modern research the name Mo 墨, “black,” derives from facial tattoes that were received as a criminal punishment by slaves or common labourers. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text.
333 Moye 摩耶 [1] This is Maya, the mother of the Buddha Shakyamuni (→ Shijia 釋迦). Legend has it that she gave birth to the Buddha from the ribs in her right flank. The story is recorded in the → Shu yuan za ji 菽園雜記, but LSZ gives a → Ye shi 野史 as his source in SE ren gui 人傀. Mu dan pu 牡丹譜, “Peony Treatise” Northern Song text. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” AN originally Luo yang mu dan ji 洛陽牡丹記, “Peony Record from Luo yang.” Written by→ Ouyang Xiu 歐陽 修. 1 juan. The text is devoted to the peonies of the Luo yang area that impressed Ouyang Xiu when he was young. It is divided into three chapters: chapter one lists 24 varieties of peonies, chapter two discusses the origins of the names assigned to the flowers, and chapter three is devoted to cultivation methods and related topics. Later editions of the book added poetry on peonies. LSZ cites the book as Mu dan pu [1] in his bibliographical sections and as Hua pu 花譜, “Flower Treatise,” [2] in the main text. Mu fu yan xian lu 幕府燕閑錄, “records of the Leisure Time at the Prefect’s Office” [2] Northern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記).

Mu shu xian tan 牧豎閑談, “Idle Talk of a Herd Boy” [2] Five Dynasties or early Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Jun zhai du shu zhi 郡齋讀書志, “Catalogue of Books Read at the Prefectural Study.” Written by → Jing Huan 景煥. 3 juan (AV 5 juan). The book is devoted to unusual objects and extraordinary things. The → Shuo fu 説郛 preserves an incomplete version. LSZ quotes it as Mu shu xian tan [2] and as Xian tan 閑談, “Idle Talk,” [1] of Jing Huan. The title appears rather similar to the → Qiao mu xian tan 樵牧 閑談 cited in the main text of the BCGM, but whether this is one and the same book remains to be verified. Mu tian zi zhuan 穆天子傳, “Biography of Emperor Mu” [3] Anonymous text. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Author unknown, but the annotations are attributed to → Guo Pu 郭璞. 6 juan. This is one of the pre-Qin 秦 texts recovered in Ji jun 汲 郡 during the Jin 晉 dynasty from a royal tomb from the Warring States period state of Wei 魏. The first five juan of the work describe the legendary journey of → Zhou Mu wang 周穆王 to the West. The work was frequently quoted by → Zhang Yuxi 掌禹錫, the author of the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草. LSZ cites the book second hand from the → ZLBC.
334 Mu Xiujing 穆修靖 [1] Tang 唐 or Song 宋 dynasty person. The Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song,” attributes a → Ling zhi ji 靈芝 記 to him, and claims the book was annotated by Luo Gongyuan 羅公逺, a legendary Daoist immortal said to have lived during the kai yuan 開元 reign period (712-741). Since this attribution to Luo Gongyuan is probably faked, Mu might have been a figure of Tang or Song times. Neither the BCGM nor any other book cites material from the Ling zhi ji, so nothing more can be said about the author or the book.
-NNahe 納合 (13th century) [2] This is Nahe Maizhu 納合買住, a Jin 金 dynasty official. Served as Vice Comissioner at the Burau of Military Affairs (shu mi fu shi 樞密副使) and held the title Minister Duke (xiang gong 相公) of the Branch Secretariat (xing sheng 行省), therefore he was sometimes called Nahe xiang gong 納合相公, “Minister Duke Nahe.” In 1232 he defeated the Song 宋. At the age of more than 70 years, his hair and beard were all white. But after he obtained a certain recipe for a herbal preparation to clean his teeth and rinse his mouth with, his hair and beard turned black within ten years. The recipe is recorded in the Shou qin yang lao shu 壽親養老書, “Book of Prolonging One’s Parents’ Lives and Nourishing the Elderly” (→ Feng qin yang lao shu 奉親養老書) and taken over by LSZ in SE li chang 鱧腸. Nan cheng zhi 南城志, “records of the Southern City” [2] Incorrect name of a book. See bibliography of the BCGM. No author given. The book is cited by LSZ in his bibliographical sections and in the main text, but the passage in question was taken from the → ZLBC, which cites the material as from the → Nan yue zhi 南越志. Since LSZ frequently cites the latter title in his main text but without listing it in his bibliography, the Nan cheng zhi must be an erroneous name for the Nan yue zhi. Nan du fu 南都賦, “rhapsody on the Southern Capital” [1] Han 漢 dynasty fu 賦 by → Zhang Heng 張衡. The “Southern Capital” is Nan yang 南陽 prefecture, now Nan yang in He nan 河南, home of the Eastern Han emperor Guang Wu di 光武帝, that is, Liu Xiu 劉秀. As it was located south of the capital Luo yang 洛陽, it was called Nan du. Zhang Heng was from Nan yang as well, and in his poem he traced the history of the place, spoke of the beauty of its scenery, and its rich products. The Nan du fu was often quoted in later works. The → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 cites a fragment, and LSZ takes this over in SE luo yan mu 落雁木.
335 Nan fang cao mu zhuang 南方草木狀, “Forms of Herbs and Trees from the Southern regions” Western Jin 晉 botanical book, the first of its type in Chinese history. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by → Ji Han 嵇含. DC 306. 3 juan. The author collected material on 80 varieties of local medicinal plants (29 herbs, 28 trees, 17 fruits, and 6 bamboos) from Guang dong 廣東, Guang xi 廣西, and Vietnam. There is some controversy about Ji Han’s authorship, some claim that the material was only collected and edited by a Song 宋 dynasty person, while this is disputed by others that regard the text as Ji Han’s work because of stylistic considerations. LSZ refers to the work as Nan fang cao mu zhuang [21] and as Cao mu zhuang 草木狀, “Forms of Herbs and Trees,” [16], frequently labeling the title with Ji Han’s name. He also cites a → Nan fang cao wu zhuang 南方草物狀, but the contents of the fragment cited are not found in the present edition of the Nan fang cao mu zhuang. Nan fang cao wu zhuang 南方草物狀, “Forms of the Herbal Materials from the Southern regions” [1] Pre-Tang 唐 book. The title is not listed in any of the standard bibliographies, but various books of Tang times or earlier mention it and give Xu Zhong 徐衷 (which may be → Xu Biao 徐表) as the author (who is also sometimes attributed a Nan fang cao mu zhuang 南方草木狀, “Forms of Herbs and Trees of the Southern Regions”). In fact, the contents of the book appear rather similar to the → Nan fang cao mu zhuang 南方草木狀, and present editions of the BCGM often equate it with that work, but the Nan fang cao wu zhuang also holds material on various animals, which the Nan fang cao mu zhuang does not have. Nan fang yi wu zhi 南方異物志, “records of Extraordinary Things from the Southern regions” [10] Tang 唐 dynasty text. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Fang Qianli 房千里. 1 juan. The original text is lost, but fragments are preserved in the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草, and other books, but none provides any name of an author. LSZ refers the work to Fang Qianli in his bibliographical sections. In the main text of the BCGM he quotes material second hand from the Jia you ben cao and other works, in one instance mistaking the work for the → Nan zhou ji 南州記 and incorrectly labeling the title with the name of → Xu Biao 徐表. Nan fang zhi 南方志, “record of the Southern regions” [1] Title of a book. See bibliography of the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. Author and DC uncertain. LSZ uses the text as source of the alternative name bang zhu 蚌珠 for zhen zhu 真珠. However, the term bang zhu is not found in the extant version of the Nan fang zhi. Nan Gongcong 南宮從 Ming 明 dynasty man, author of the → Gou lou shen shu 岣嶁神書. Further details unavailable.
336 Nan hai yao lu 南海藥錄 → Nan hai yao pu 南海藥譜 Nan hai yao pu 南海藥譜, “Treatise on Medicinals from Faraway Places in the South” Lost, anonymous text on pharmaceutical substances. See bibliography of the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草. AN Yao pu 藥譜, “Treatise on Medicinals.” DC late Tang 唐. According to the BCGM 2 juan (AV 1 juan, 7 juan). Fragments are preserved in the Jia you ben cao only. The book apparently contained rather unorganized miscellaneous information on production areas and application of pharmaceutical substances from places in the South. LSZ erroneously considered the frequently quoted → Hai yao ben cao 海藥本草 to be the same book, which is why material referred to that text may be from the Nan hai yao pu as well. He seldom uses the book’s real name, referring to it as Nan hai yao pu [2], erroneously as Nan hai yao lu 南海藥錄, “Record of Drugs from Faraway Places in the South,” [1], or by the abbreviation Yao pu [2]. Nan jing 難經, “Classic of difficult Issues” [8] Medical theory book. FE Jiu Tang shu jing ji zhi 舊唐書經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the Old History of the Tang.” AN Huang di ba shi yi nan jing 黃帝八 十一難經, “Classic of 81 Difficult Issues in the Huang di nei jing.” Traditionally attributed to Qin Yue ren 秦越人 (→ Bian Que 扁鵲) of the Warring States Period, but this is unlikely. DC probably pre-Three Kingdoms period. 2 juan, 81 chapters. The text discusses 81 medical difficulties in a question-answer style, thus its name. The issues discussed are closely connected to the contents of the → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問, with a special focus on pulse diagnosis and acumoxa therapy. LSZ cites the work first and second hand. Nan jun ji 南郡記, “records of the Southern Commanderies” [2] Possibly the incorrect name of a book. See bibliography of the BCGM. Author and size uncertain, and the book is not found in any other bibliography. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections and cites one fragment in the main text. The story cited there is found in both the Sui Tang jia hua 隋唐嘉話, “Fine Talks of the Sui and Tang,” of Liu Su 劉餗 and the Da ye shi yi ji 大業拾遺記, “Records of Retrieved Stories of the Da ye Reign Period,” of → Yan Shigu 顔 師古 (AN Nan bu yan hua lu 南部煙花錄, “Records of Spring Scenes from the Southern Parts”), but the wording is nearly identical to the material in the Sui Tang jia hua. It is thus to be suspected that LSZ took the material from that work and not from any Nan jun ji. The Sui tang jia hua was a collection of Sui and Tang stories. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” DC 2nd half of the 8th century. 1 juan.

See bibliography of the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. AN Nan kang jun ji 南康郡記, “Records of Nan kang Commandery.” Written by → Deng Deming 鄧德明. DC yuan jia 元嘉 reign period (424-453). The work describes the geography and people of Nan kang commandery, an area
337 around Gan zhou 贛州 and Yu du 于都 in present-day Jiang xi 江西. The original book is lost, but fragments are found in the → Shui jing zhu 水經注, the → Chu xue ji 初學記, the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the Tai ping yu lan, the → Shuo fu 説郛, and other books. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text from the Tai ping yu lan. Nan man ji 南蠻記, “records of Southern Barbarians” [1] Name of a book. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. The ZLBC cites three fragments from a Tong dian nan man ji 通典南蠻記, “Records of Southern Barbarians from the Tong dian,” from a Nan man di zhi 南蠻地志, “Local Gazetteer of the Southern Barbarians,” and from the → Tong dian 通典. In all three cases the material is from the Nan man – lin yi 南蠻林邑, “Southern Barbarians – Forest Settlements,” chapter in the Tong dian. LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it directly in the main text. In SE hu po 琥珀, however, he cites the same material as the ZLBC but, taking his material from the → Ben cao yan yi 本草衍義, labels it with the name of → Kou Zongshi 寇宗奭. He follows Kou in attributing the material to a → Di li zhi 地理志 . Nan Qi shu 南齊書, “History of Southern Qi” [4] Standard history of the Southern Qi 齊 dynasty, written during the Southern Liang 梁 dynasty in annal-biography style (ji zhuan ti 紀傳體) by Xiao Zixian 蕭子顯. AN originally Qi shu 齊書, “History of Qi.” From Song 宋 times on, it was known as the Nan Qi shu to distinguish it from the Tang 唐 era Bei Qi shu 北齊書, “History of Northern Qi,” of Li Baiyao 李百藥. 60 juan. In the present version the prefatory juan is lost. The text records the history of the Qi (477-500) during the time of the Southern Dynasties and preserves much primary source material. LSZ cites it as Nan Qi shu [4] and Qi shu [2]. The author Xiao Zixian was a Liang dynasty historiographer. Style name Jingyang 景陽, a man of Nan lan ling 南蘭陵 in the northeast of present-day Wu jin 武進 in Jiang su 江蘇. He was a grandson of the emperor Qi Gao di 齊高帝 (Xiao Daocheng 蕭道成) and held high court offices. Author of a Hou Han shu 後漢書, “History of the Later Han,” the Nan Qi shu, and other books.

It covers the history of the Southern Dynasties Liu Song 劉宋, Qi 齊, Liang 梁, and Chen 陳. LSZ does not list the work in his bibliographical sections but frequently cites it in the main text. Nan Tang shu 南唐書, “History of Southern Tang” [3] Two different historical works devoted to the history of the Southern Tang 唐 kingdom of the Five Dynasties period. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解 題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” One is a Northern Song 宋 book written by Ma Ling 馬令. DC 1105. 30 juan. This was later known as the Ma shi Nan Tang shi 馬氏南唐史, “History of Southern Tang
338 by Mr. Ma.” Ma’s ancestors had lived in the Southern Tang capital of Jin ling 金陵 (present-day Nan jing 南京), therefore he was familiar with the history of the time. His book is particularly valuable for its source material. The second Nan Tang shu is a Southern Song book written by → Lu You 陸游. 18 juan. Its accounts of events are simple but comprehensive, and the work is considered superior to Ma’s. LSZ lists one Nan Tang shu in his bibliographical sections without indicating an author. The story quoted in his main text can be found in both versions of the Nan Tang shu, but LSZ’s citation seems to originate from juan 17 of Lu’s work. Nan xing fang 南行方, “recipes from a Southern Journey” [5] Song 宋 or pre-Song medical recipe book. EE → TJBC. Attributed there to an otherwise unknown → Yang Yan 楊炎. The original text is lost, but the TJBC (reproduced in the → ZLBC) preserves some fragments. The book is listed in the bibliographical sections of the BCGM as one of the sources LSZ used, but as a matter of fact his citations are only second hand from the ZLBC. There is another Nan xing fang listed in the Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” but since the author is given as Li Jigao 李繼皋 there, this must be a different book. Nan yang huo ren fang 南陽活人方 → Nan yang huo ren shu 南陽活人書 Nan yang huo ren shu 南陽活人書, “Book from Nan yang for Saving People’s Lives” Northern Song 宋 book on harm caused by cold (shang han 傷寒).

DC 1108. 20 juan. The work reorganized material from the → Shang han lun 傷寒論 in question-answer style by disease signs and recipes. The title refers to → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景, a man of Nan yang 南陽. LSZ cites the work as Nan yang huo ren shu [12], as Huo ren shu 活人書, “Book for Saving People’s Lives,” [23], as Nan yang shu 南陽書, “Book from Nan yang,” [1], as Nan yang huo ren fang 南陽活人方, “Recipes from Nan yang for Saving People’s Lives, ” [1], or referring to the name of the author alone as Zhu Gong [2] and Zhu Fengyi 朱奉議 [1]. Nan yang shu 南陽書 → Nan yang huo ren shu 南陽活人書 Nan yi ji 南裔記, “records of the Southern Borderlands” Erroneous name for a geographical text. See bibliography of the BCGM. No author given. LSZ lists the text as Nan yi ji [1] in his bibliographical sections and cites a Nan yi zhi 南裔志, “Treatise on the Southern Borderlands,” [1] in the main text. The material quoted originates from a Nan yi zhi citation in the Dan qian yu lu 丹鉛餘錄, “Extra Records of Cinnabar and Lead,” (→ Dan qian lu 丹 鉛錄) and other books. The same excerpt can also be found in earlier works like
339 the Tang 唐 era → Bei hu lu 北戶錄 and the Song 宋 Ji zuan yuan hai 記纂淵海, “Deep Ocean of Records and Compilations,” of Pan Zimu 潘自牧. There it is referred to the Nan yi yi wu zhi 南裔異物志, “Records of Extraordinary Things from the Southern Borderlands,” or Yang shi yi wu zhi 楊氏異物志, “Mr. Yang’s Records of Extraordinary Things,” (→ Yi wu zhi 異物志 ), Mr. Yang standing for → Yang Fu 楊孚 of Eastern Han 漢. LSZ’s citation obviously passed through many hands, thus the mistake. Nan yi zhi 南裔志 → Nan yi ji 南裔記, → Yi wu zhi 異物志 Nan yue furen zi ling Wei yuan jun fang 南岳夫人紫靈魏元君方 → Zi ling yuan jun zhuan 紫靈元君傳, → Nan yue Wei furen zhuan 南岳魏夫人傳 Nan yue wang 南越王 → Zhao Tuo 趙佗 Nan yue wang 南粵王 → Zhao Tuo 趙佗 Nan yue Wei furen nei zhuan 南岳魏夫人內傳→ Nan yue Wei fu ren zhuan 南岳魏 夫人傳 Nan yue Wei furen zhuan 南岳魏夫人傳, “Biography of Lady Wei of Nan yue” Name of a text. The Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall,” cites a work of that name and attributes it to Yan Zhenqing 顔 真卿, while the → Shuo fu 説郛 cites a Wei fu ren zhuan 魏夫人傳, “Biography of Lady Wei,” and attributes it to Cai Wei 蔡偉. Both were Tang 唐 era texts that described the life of the female Daoist Wei Huacun 魏華存 (→ Wei furen 魏夫 人, also called Nan yue furen 南岳夫人 or Nan yue furen 南嶽夫人), but neither of them has any medical content. Recipes connected with Wei furen are cited in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方 and other books, while the → ZLBC lists a Nan yue furen zhuan 南嶽夫人傳, “Biography of the Lady of Nan yue,” in its bibliographical sections and refers two recipes in its main text to a Zi ling yuan jun Nan yue furen nei chuan 紫靈元君南嶽夫人内傳, “Esoteric Transmission by the Lady of Nan yue, the Original Sovereign of the Purple Numinosity.” Citations of such a text are based on a misunderstanding, for these are actually just references to recipes transmitted (chuan 傳) from the Lady of Nan yue and not to any biography (zhuan 傳). Such recipes can, in fact, be found in Daoist sources such as the → Deng zhen yin jue 登真隱訣. LSZ lists a Nan yue Wei furen zhuan [1] (as well as a → Zi ling yuan jun zhuan 紫靈元君傳) in his bibliographical sections and in the main text cites recipes second hand as Nan yue Wei furen nei zhuan 南岳魏夫人內傳, “Inner Biography of Lady Wei of Nan yue,” [1] from the ZLBC and as Wei furen zhuan 魏夫人傳, “Biography of Lady Wei,” [1] from the → Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘後備急方. In addition, he cites a Nan yue furen zi ling Wei yuan jun fang 南岳夫人紫靈魏元君方, “Recipe of the Lady of Nan yue, the Original Sovereign Wei of the Purple Numinosity,” [1] in his main text, and there is also one recipe associated with Wei yuan jun 魏元君 cited from the Tan xian fang 坦仙方, “Recipes of Tan the Immortal,” (→ Jie xiao fang 皆效方) as well as one for the treatment of “flesh strips post-partum,” (chan hou rou xian 產 後肉線) said to have been secretly transmitted from Wei furen.

FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書 藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Shen Huaiyuan 沈懷遠. 5 juan (AV 7 juan). The book describes local conditions and customs of the Ling nan 嶺南 area as well as Vietnam and its border areas in Southeast Asia. It is one of the earliest geographical works covering foreign countries. The original text is lost, but scattered fragments are found in the → Shui jing zhu 水經注, the → Qi min yao shu 齊民要術, the → Bei hu lu 北戶錄, the → Ling biao lu yi 岭表錄異, the → ZLBC, and other books. LSZ cites the book frequently in his main text as Nan yue zhi [20] but mistakenly calls it → Nan cheng zhi 南城志 [2] in his bibliographical sections. Nan zhong zhi 南中志, “Gazetteer of the South Central area” [2] Jin 晉 dynasty geographical text, which originally constituted juan 4 of the → Hua yang guo zhi 華陽國志 of Chang Qu 常璩. During Ming 明 times, → Yang Shen 楊慎 mentioned a separate Nan zhong zhi by Chang Qu that had been preserved in his family. Later on, the Si ku quan shu ti yao 四庫全書提要, “Index to the Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” considered the text a forgery by Yang Shen himself. Interestingly, when quoted in the main text of the BCGM, the material has nothing to do with the contents of the original text at all. The material referred to a Nan zhong zhi in SE mo 貘 is an amalgam of fragments from the → Shuo wen jie zi 説文解字 and the → Guang zhi 廣志 found in → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 juan 908, and the material in SE gui tan 鬼彈 is composed of passages from a Nan zhong ba jun zhi 南中八郡志, “Gazetteer of the Eight South Central Prefectures,” and the → Sou shen ji 搜神記, both quoted in the Tai ping yu lan as well. Nan zhou ji 南州記, “records of Nan zhou” Lost book. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. Written by → Xu Biao 徐表. DC Tang 唐 or pre-Tang. Size uncertain. Material from the work on products and plants of Guang zhou 廣州 and its vicinity is frequently cited in the → Hai yao ben cao 海藥本草 of → Li Xun 李珣, who was active during the late Tang or Five Dynasties period. The → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚 cites a Nan fang ji 南方記, “Records of the Southern Regions,” of Xu Zhong 徐衷. Other Tang and Song 宋 encyclopedias also cite a book of that name as well as a Nan fang cao mu zhuang 南方草木狀, “Forms of Herbs and Trees of the Southern Regions,” by the same author. Considering the similarity of the authors’ names and the titles, it seems possible that the Nan zhou ji and Nan fang ji are one and the same book. LSZ cites the book second hand from the ZLBC as Nan zhou ji [12] in his bibliographical sections and the main text. LSZ also erroneously uses the titles → Nan zhou yi wu zhi 南州異物志 [1], → Nan fang yi wu zhi 南方異物志 [1], and → Yi wu zhi 異物志 [1] to refer to the book, labeling these titles with Xu Biao’s name. The latter citation does not appear in the ZLBC but rather in the Ji zuan yuan hai 記纂淵海, “Deep Ocean of Records and Compilations,” of Pan Zimu 潘自牧, who refers the material to a Nan fang shuo 南方説, “Elucidations of the Southern Regions.”

The original book is lost, but fragments are quoted in the → Qi min yao shu 齊民要術, in the later → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類 聚, and the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. The → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 (cited in the ZLBC) also quotes the book bot does not indicate any author. LSZ cites the book as Nan zhou yi wu zhi [10] in his bibliographical sections and the main text, referring it to Wan Zhen. He takes part of his material from the → ZLBC but cites second hand from other works as well. Some of the references are incorrect, however, i.e., he assigns a Nan zhou yi wu zhi to → Yang Fu 楊孚, but the material cited is actually the Nan yi yi wu zhi 南裔異物志, “Records of Extraordinary Things from the Southern Borderlands,” (→ Yi wu zhi 異物志 ). In another place, LSZ refers to a Nan zhou yi wu zhi by Xu Biao 徐表, but this is an error for the → Nan zhou ji 南州記 in a second hand citation from the → Hai yao ben cao 海藥本草. And finally, LSZ incorrectly writes Nan chuan yi wu zhi 南川異 物志, “Records of Extraordinary Things from the Southern Rivers,” [1] in SE ci shi 磁石, which is the Nan zhou yi wu zhi as well.

His posthumous name was Xian 獻, thus the name Ning Xian wang. In his later years Zhu developed an interest in Daoist alchemy and compiled books for recreation.

The Pi wei lun survives, but LSZ quotes only one recipe from it. He cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text, referring to the author by his literary name Dongyuan 東垣. Pi Xun 皮巡 Eastern Han 漢 imperial physician during the reign of → Han Ming di 漢明 帝 (r. 57-75). According to the → Dong guan Han ji 東觀漢記, he once returned from a hunt and spent the night in the entrance to the palace where he developed a “cold-elevation-illness” (han shan 寒疝). Deng Xun 鄧訓 and others blew their breath on his back, and he was cured. In SE ren qi 人氣, LSZ gives the → Xu Han shu 續漢書 of → Xie Cheng 謝承 as his source for this story, and erroneously writes Pi Xun’s name Shi Xun 史循 [1].

DC c. yuan feng 元豐 reign period (1078-1085). 20 juan. The book was intended as a supplement to the → Er ya 爾雅, thus the name. It is divided into 8 chapters on topics such as fish, beasts, birds, etc. Lu’s work was strongly influenced by the → Zi shuo 字説 of his teacher → Wang Anshi 王安石, it lays its emphasis on terminology and signification, while descriptions of character form are kept brief. The text quotes old books and investigates the origins of terms, but the sources of its information are not always clearly indicated and some of the interpretations appear rather strained. LSZ was much influenced by the book, citing it as Pi ya [44] or referring to the author’s name alone as Lu Dian [24] or Lu Nongshi 陸農師 [7]. Pi ya guang yi 埤雅廣義, “Extended Meanings in the Pi ya” [1] Name of a book. See bibliography of the BCGM. No details available. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it in the main text. A text of this title is not listed in any other bibliography, nor is it cited in any other book. Ping quan cao mu ji 平泉草木記, “record of Herbs and Trees from Ping quan” [1] This is LSZ’s abbreviation for the Ping quan shan ju cao mu ji 平泉山居草木記, “Record of Herbs and Trees Seen Dwelling at Mount Ping quan,” a Tang 唐 dynasty book. FE Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises.” Written by → Li Deyu 李德裕. 1 juan. The full title refers to Li’s villa outside Luo yang 洛陽. The text and preface is found in Li’s Hui chang yi pin ji bie ji 會昌一品集別集, “Separate Collection to the Collection of a Rank-One-Official of the Hui chang Reign Period.” LSZ lists the book by its abbreviation in his bibliography but does not quote from it in the main text. He does, however, cite a passage there second hand from another work by Li, the → Hua mu ji 花木記. Ping yaoqing 平堯卿 [1] Song 宋 dynasty medical expert. A man of Bian 汴, now Kai feng 開封 in He nan 河南. Ping wrote a now lost 2 juan Shang han zheng lei yao lüe 傷寒證類 要略, “Verified and Categorized Essentials on Harm Caused by Cold,” which is said to have merely categorized the essentials of the teachings of → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景 without providing any further information. This work is confused by LSZ with the → Shang han lei yao 傷寒類要 of the Northern Song author Gao Ruone 高若訥, which he incorrectly attributes to Ping Yaoqing. Poluomen seng 婆羅門僧, “Brahman Monk” Tang 唐 dynasty Indian monk. In 713 he offered some recipes to the Tang emperor Ming huang 明皇 (→ Tang Xuan zong 唐玄宗). These recipes are found scattered in the → Jin xiao fang 近效方 and the → Xu chuan xin fang 續傳信 方, and the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外台秘要方 as well as the → TJBC cite them second hand. LSZ takes some material over from these sources, referring to the

FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” Compiled by → Zhou Dingwang 周定王 et al. DC 1406. 168 juan (According to LSZ 170 juan). LSZ erroneously assigns the book to Zhou Ding wang’s son → Zhou Xian wang 周憲王, a mistake that was corrected in later editions of the BCGM. The text includes 61.739 recipes, which makes it the greatest recipe collection in Chinese medical history. It draws from a multitude of sources, all clearly identified and including many texts that are now lost. LSZ quotes numerous earlier works second hand from this book, referring to it as Pu ji fang [501], as Pu ji 普濟, “Universal Benefit,” [115], and erroneously as → Pu ji miao fang 普濟妙方 [1], Shan ji fang 善濟方, “Recipes for Good Benefit,” [1], and Jing ji 經濟, “Governing and Benefiting,” [1]. Pu ji miao fang 普濟妙方, “Miraculous recipes for universal Benefit” [1] Erroneous designation for the → Pu ji fang 普濟方. The recipe LSZ cites from such a text in SE da dou 大豆 is taken from the Pu ji fang. Pu jiu fang 普救方, “recipes for universal relief ” This is apparently LSZ’s mistake for the → Shen yi pu jiu fang 神醫普救方. LSZ lists both titles in his bibliographical sections, thus giving the book a double entry. He does not cite any Pu jiu fang in the main text. Pu xu 譜序, “Preface to the Treatise” This is actually the postscript of the → Ju pu 菊譜 of → Fan Chengda 范成 大 (style name Zhineng 致能, erroneously called Fan Zhineng 范至能 in this context). The Jin ling 金陵 edition of the BCGM omits the character ju 菊 in front of the character pu 譜.

LSZ refers to him as Qi Bo [74] and as Qi 岐 [5]. When referring to Qi Bo by his full name, 20 times he is referring to the Huang di su wen (these quotations usually involve theoretical reflections on medicine) and only once to the Ling shu jing. Mostly, however, in connection with the → Wu Pu ben cao 吳普本草, he is referring to material on pharmaceutical substances from the pre-Han → Qi bo jing 岐伯經, which he cites third hand from other sources. Qi Bo jing 岐伯經, “Classic of Qi Bo” Book cited by the → Wu Pu ben cao 吳普本草. Attributed to the legendary → Qi Bo 岐伯. DC Han 漢 or Pre-Han.

The name of the book refers to the author’s ancestors from Ji nan 濟南 in present-day Shan dong 山東 (the ancient state of Qi 齊). Zhou Mi’s intention was to show that he had not forgotten his origins. The book contains many stories and anecdotes of the time as well as information about local customs and products.

The latter reference in SE bu gu zhi 補骨脂 is to a recipe identical with one cited in SE jiu 韭. There, LSZ refers the material to a → Jing yan fang 經驗方 quoted second hand from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方. In addition, LSZ refers to a → Guai bing qi fang 怪病奇方 [3] by Xia Ziyi. In this case, he must be referring to the Qi ji fang too, and not to the → Guai zheng qi fang 怪 證奇方 of → Li Lou 李樓.

The → Gu jin zhu 古今注 of → Cui Bao 崔豹 claims that cicadae (chan 蟬) are also called Qi nü 齊女, “Lady of Qi,” because the Queen of Qi turned into a cicada after getting angry and dying.

Qi xie ji 齊諧記, “records of Qi xie” Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty book of tales of the strange (zhi guai xiao shuo 志怪小 説), erroneously referred to as Qi xie zhi 齊諧志, “Records of Qi xie,” [1] by LSZ. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by Dongyang Wuyi 東陽無疑. 7 juan. The title is a reference to the term qi xie 齊諧 in the → Zhuang zi 莊子 , which is used in the sense of supernatural (zhi guai 志怪). This was later interpreted as either the first book or narrator of such stories. The original text is lost, but fragments are found in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → Wu lei xiang gan zhi 物類相感志, the → Yi shuo 醫説, and other books. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliography but cites it incorrectly as Qi xie zhi of → Xue Yongruo 薛用弱 in the main text, although the material he quotes is actually from the Qi xie ji of Dongyang Wuyi.

The book records 156 old and new strange and miraculous events, but because many of these are closely associated with local areas, it also can be regarded as a geographical encyclopedia. The book was still extant in Ming 明 times, and later writers quote it frequently. LSZ cites the Qia wen ji [2] second hand from the → TJBC in the main text of the BCGM, but the title does not appear in his bibliographical sections. He does, however, list a Zhi wen shuo 治聞説, “Tales Arranging Things Heard,” [1] without citing it again in the main text. No book of that name is mentioned anywhere else, and since the characters qia 洽 and zhi 治 look rather similar, it seems probable that Zhi wen shuo is an erroneous writing for Qia wen ji.

LSZ cites the work second hand from the Tai ping yu lan, referring it once to Qimu shi and once simply to Qimu 綦母. Since the content quoted differs from the Lu Bao text, this is certainly a separate work.

Style name Zhongyang 仲陽. Originally from Qian tang 錢塘, now Hang zhou 杭州, his family moved north to Yun 鄆, now Dong ping 東平 in Shan dong 山東. He studied medicine with his uncle and specialized in pediatrics, acquiring a reputation in Shan dong. He received a medical appointment at the Han lin 翰林 Academy during the yuan feng 元豐 reign period (1078-1085) after treating the eldest princess successfully. The following year he was promoted to the post of Aide to the Imperial Physician (tai yi cheng 太 醫丞) after similar success in treating a prince.

The book is a collection of Song Lian’s various writings. LSZ cites the work as Qianxi ji [1] in his bibliographical sections, and in the main text refers to the text as Song Qianxi wen ji 宋潛溪文集, “Literary Collection of Song Qianxi,” [1] or simply as Song Lian [2]. However, material on canine kidney stones and gall bladder stones (gou bao 狗寳 and pi shi 癖石) quoted as from the → Cheng shi yi shu 程 氏遺書 is actually from the Qianxi wen ji.

EE BCGM, which cites a story about a “Mirror for No Illness” (wu ji jing 無疾鏡) said to have taken place during the reign of the Five Dynasties emperor → Meng Chang 孟昶 (r. 934-964). No author given. The book is not listed in any bibliography or book catalogue but is only quoted in the main text of the BCGM and in the contemporaneous Shan tang si kao 山堂肆考, “Extended Investigations of the Mountain Hall.” A “Mirror for No Illness” is also mentioned in the Zun sheng ba jian 遵生八箋, “Eight Commentaries Honoring Life,” (printed 1591). Possibly a book called Qiao mu xian tan existed during the wan li 萬歷 reign period (1573-1620). The title appears rather similar to the Five Dynasties or early Song 宋 → Mu shu xian tan 牧豎閑談, but whether this is one and the same book remains to be verified. Qiao Zhou 譙周 (c. 210 to 270) [1] High official of Shu 蜀 during the Three Kingdoms period. Style name Yunnan 允南, a man of Xi chong 西充 in Ba xi 巴西, now in the southwest of Lang zhong 閬中 in Si chuan 四川.

The original text is lost, but the ZLBC quotes nine fragments, attributing them to Qian xiang gong. LSZ takes these over, citing the work as Qie zhong fang [7] and labeling this title Qian xiang gong or Qian shi 錢氏, “Mr. Qian.” He also refers to the text simply as Qie zhong 篋 中, “In the Box,” [1]. Qie zhong mi bao fang 篋中秘寶方, “Secret and Precious recipes in the Box” [3] Medical recipe book. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. Authorship and size uncertain. DC Song 宋. The ZLBC does not cite this book in its main text, and the modern Song yi qian yi ji kao 宋以前醫籍考, “Investigation of Medical Books of the Song Period and Earlier,” suggests that the reference may be a double entry for the Qian shi qie zhong fang 錢氏篋中方, “Mr. Qian’s Recipes in the Box,” (→ Qie zhong fang 篋中方 ). LSZ cites a Qie zhong mi bao fang in his bibliographical sections and the main text, but the material quoted is from an uncertain source and definitely not from the Qian shi qie zhong fang fragments in the ZLBC. Qimu 綦母 → Qimu shi 綦母氏 Qimu shi 綦母氏, “Mr. Qimu” Jin 晉 dynasty person. Author of a → Qian shen lun 錢神論 referred to in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. The Dan qian yu lu 丹鉛餘錄, “Extra Records

LSZ cites it in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Qin deli 秦德立 [1] Song 宋 dynasty physician. Details about his life are unavailable. According to the → Yi shuo 醫説, he was able to cure “lice tumors” (shi liu 虱瘤).

Qin feng 秦風 → Shi jing 詩經 Qin Gao 琴髙 [2] Legendary Daoist immortal from the state of Zhao 趙 during the Warring States period. He was famed for his ability to play drums and the qin 琴.

Extant today is his Huai hai ji 淮海集, “Collection of [Mr.] Huaihai,” and other texts. LSZ cites a letter of his in SE huang lian 黃連, the → Yu Qiao Xi sheng lun huang lian shu 與喬希聖論黃連書, referring to Qin as Qin Guan [1] and Qin gong 秦 公, “Honorable Mr. Qin,” [1]. Qin huang 秦皇 → Qin shi huang 秦始皇 Qin ji 秦記 → Qin zhou ji 秦州記 Qin jing 禽經, “Bird Classic” Book cited in the → Pi ya 埤雅. Attributed to → Shi Kuang 師曠 and, according to the Southern Song 宋 → Bai chuan xue hai 百川學海, annotated by → Zhang Hua 張華 of Western Jin 晉. The Si ku quan shu ti yao 四庫全書提要, “Index to the Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” however, states that both attributions are false and that the Qin jing was forged on the basis of material in the Northern Song → Zi shuo 字説. Unaware of this, LSZ refers the work to Shi Kuang and its annotations to Zhang Hua. He cites it as Qin jing [49], referring to Zhang’s supposed annotations as Zhang Hua zhu Qin jing 張華注禽 經, “Bird Classic, Annotated by Zhang Hua,” as Zhang Hua Qin jing zhu 張華 禽經注, “Annotations to the Bird Classic by Zhang Hua,” [1], and as Zhang Hua zhu 張華注, “Zhang Hua’s Annotations.” [2]. He also uses the supposed author’s name, Shi Kuang [5], to stand for the book. Qin Minghe 秦鳴鶴 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty physician, an expert in acumoxa therapy. He once treated → Tang Gao zong 唐高宗 by piercing and bloodletting to cure the emperor’s “wind dizziness with a heavy head” (feng xuan tou zhong 風眩頭重).

LSZ refers to events of his time and mentions a → Qin Mu gong zhuan 秦穆公傳 in his bibliography.

The story quoted in the ZLBC is found in the annals of the state of Qin 秦 in the → Shi ji 史記, but no biography is titled Qin Mu gong zhuan there. LSZ simply takes over the error of his source, listing a Qin Mu gong zhuan in his bibliographical sections and
365 citing the same story as the ZLBC in his main text about events that took place at the time of → Qin Mu gong 秦穆公. Qin shi huang 秦始皇 (259-210 BCE) This is Qin shi huang di 秦始皇帝, ruler of the state of Qin 秦 and the Qin dynasty, r. 246-210 BCE. LSZ refers to him in connection with events of his time as Qin shi huang [2], as Qin huang 秦皇 [2], → Qin wang 秦王 [1], and as Shi huang 始皇 [2]. Qin shu 禽書 → Yan qin shu 演禽書 Qin wang 秦王, “King of Qin” [1] This is Qin shi huang di 秦始皇帝 (→ Qin shi huang 秦始皇). Once when the King of Qin 秦 travelled eastward, he discarded a bag of calculation devices into the sea where it transformed to a cuttle fish. LSZ cites this in SE wu zei yu 烏賊魚.

Qing 卿 → Zhao Qing 趙卿 Qing gong 清供 → Shan jia qing gong 山家清供 Qing liang zhuan 清涼傳, “accounts from the Clear and Cool [Mountain]” [1] This is the Gu qing liang zhuan 古清涼傳, “Accounts from the Ancient Clear and Cool [Mountain],” a Tang 唐 dynasty monograph on Mount Wu tai 五臺.

He was cured with a preparation of chang song 長松. The Song 宋 period Mian shui yan tan 澠水燕談, “Leisure Talk from River Mian,” retells the story but changes its contents by stating that Seng Puming was cured from a “wind ailment” (feng ji 風疾). The → Yi shuo 醫説 cites the story second hand, and LSZ takes his material from a → Zhang Tianjue wen ji 張天覺文集. He claims that the disease treated by chang song was

The first eight texts were transmitted by Shao Yizheng’s teacher → Liu Changchun 劉長春, who had in turn received them from Zhao Yizhen. The last text constitutes supplemental material gathered by Shao Yizheng himself. Shao was also the editor for some of the other texts. LSZ cites the collection as Qing nang za zuan [5], as Qing nang fang 青囊方, “Recipes from the Green Bag,” [1], as Shao shi qing nang fang 邵氏青囊方, “Mr. Shao’s Recipes from the Green Bag,” [1], and as Qing nang 青囊, “Green Bag,” [6].

According to the → San guo zhi 三國 志 as quoted in the → ZLBC, he regularly consumed qing xiang 青葙 and yuan hua 芫花. Qingxia zi 青霞子, “Master of the Green Clouds” [8] This is Su Yuanlang 蘇元朗 (incorrect AV Su Yuanming 蘇元明), a Sui 隋 dynasty Daoist master. Legend has it that he was born in Jin 晉 times and lived as
367 a recluse in the mountains, where he attained the secrets of the deity Siming 司 命 that helped him to immortality. During the kai huang 開皇 reign period (581600), at the age of 300, he is said to have lived at Mount Luo fu 羅浮 in Guang dong 廣東, in a place called Qing xia gu 青霞谷,“Valley of the Green Clouds,” after which he nicknamed himself Qingxia zi. Attributed to him are the → Xuanyuan shu bao zang lun 軒轅述寶藏論, a → Dan tai lu 丹臺錄, and other books. Alchemist material from these is cited by the → ZLBC. LSZ takes this over without specifying which book he is citing from. Qiong shan 瓊山 → Qiu Yufeng 丘玉峰 Qiong tian lun 穹天論, “discussion of the Vault of the Heavens” [1] Theory on celestial patterns (tian wen 天文), established by Yu Song 虞聳, AV by Yu Bing 虞昺. Both were sons of Yu Fan 虞翻 (164-233), from the state of Wu 吳 during the Three Kingdoms period. The family was from Yu yao 余姚 in Kuai ji 會稽, now part of Zhe jiang 浙江. The → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 contains a quote from Yu Bing’s Qiong tian lun that states: “The shape of heaven is an arched roof like a bamboo hat, and it covers the surface of the earth” (tian zhi xing qiong long ru li er mao di zhi biao 天之形穹隆如笠而冒地之表). The → Jin shu 晉書 quotes a similar passage but attributes the Qiong tian lun to Yu Song. LSZ takes over the passage from the Tai ping yu lan in SE bai tian gong 敗天公. Qiu chi bi ji 仇池筆記, “Brush Notes of Lake Qiu” [3] Collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Xu wen xian tong kao 續文獻通考, “Sequel to the Comprehensive Study of Literary and Documentary Sources.” Formerly attributed to → Su Shi 蘇軾 of Northern Song 宋, but the text is actually a compilation of Su Shi’s essays and jottings by a later editor, with various interpretations added in. There is a substantial overlap with the Dongpo zhi lin 東坡志林, “Forest of Records by [Su] Dongpo.” LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text, attributing it to Su zi 蘇子, “Master Su.” The → Cha shuo 茶説 cited by LSZ is contained in the first juan of this work, where it is entitled Lun cha 論茶, “Discussing Tea.” Qiu yuan 仇遠(1247-1326) [7] Yuan 元 dynasty literatus.

He has a biography in the Ming shi 明史, “History of the Ming.” He was a prolific writer, his medical books include the → Qun shu ri chao 群書日抄. LSZ calls him Qiu Yufeng [1]

FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by → Chu Yong 儲泳. 1 juan. The author was interested in magical calculations and sought to distinguish the real from the bogus, therefore he wrote this text to expose deceitful tricks. The work also contains some material on pulse differentiation. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections (erroneously writing the author’s name Chu Yong 儲詠) but does not cite it in the main text. Qu yong 屈雍 (3rd century) [1] Man of Ru nan 汝南 (now Yan cheng 郾城 in He nan 河南) whose wife (→ Wang shi 王氏 (19)) allegedly gave birth to a son from below her right armpit. → Kong Xian 孔羨 submitted a memorial to the throne about this story. LSZ cites the story from the Wei zhi 魏志, “Records of Wei,” (→ San guo zhi 三國志) in SE ren gui 人傀. Qu yuan 屈原 (c. 340-278 BCE) [4] This is the style name of Qu Ming 屈平, a major poet from the state of Chu 楚 during the Warring States Period. A member of the Chu nobility, he held various offices under Huai 懷. He was also known as a literatus but was eventually forced from office and exiled. Living a vagrant life in the river basins of the Yuan 沅 and Xiang 湘 rivers in present day Hu nan 湖南, he composed the autobiographical poem Li sao 離騷, “Encountering Sorrow,” now found in the → Chu ci 楚辭.

The original book did not circulate widely, but the Yong le da dian 永 樂大典, “Great Encyclopedia of the Yong le Period,” contains the whole work, and the Si ku quan shu 四庫全書, “Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” produced a 4 juan edition from that. LSZ, on the other hand, probably took his excerpts from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, which frequently quotes the Quan sheng zhi mi fang. He mistakenly cites the book as Shizhai zhi mi fang 是 齋指迷方, “[Wang] Shizhai’s Recipes for Guidance,” [2] in his bibliographical
369 sections and the main text, obviously mixing up Wang Kuang with → Wang Qiu 王璆 and labeling the abbreviated title with the literary name of the latter. In the main text, LSZ also refers to the work as Zhi mi fang [5]. Quan yi wen 勸醫文, “Text of advice to Physicians” [5] Literary document. EE → Chu xue ji 初學記. Written by Emperor Jian Wen 簡 文 of Liang 梁 (→ Liang Jian Wen di 梁簡文帝, r. 550-550). Emperor Jian Wen wrote an admonishing text for physicians, in which he explains in detail the importance of preserving people’s health. The document is preserved in the Chu xue ji, and the → ZLBC extracts one section on the use of medicinals from there.

LSZ includes both a → Zheng shi xiao er fang 鄭氏小兒方 and a Quan ying fang in his bibliographical sections without providing the full name of the author. All material cited in the main text as from the Zheng shi xiao er fang [6], the Zheng shi fang 鄭氏方, “Recipes of Mr. Zheng,” [3], from Zheng shi 鄭氏, “Mr. Zheng,” [1], or the Quan ying fang [4] can be found in the Quan ying fang lun, which shows that the Quan ying fang and the Zheng shi xiao er fang are one and the same book.

Attached to it is a text on acumoxa therapy, the Xiao er ming tang jiu jing 小兒明堂灸經, “Cauterization Classic for Children’s [Medicine] from the Hall of Brilliance.” LSZ cites the book as Quan you xin jian [66], as Quan you 全幼, “Healing the Young,” [1], and as Xin jian 心 鑒, “Heart Mirror,” [6]. In his biographical sections, LSZ mistakenly gives the author’s name as Kou Heng 寇衡.

A beautiful woman, she was married to Wang Gongfu 王公甫 (→ Wang Gongfu 王公輔). According to the → Ming yi lu 名醫錄, her face assumed a dark complexion from worrying about the official career of her husband.

Today a Rencun Sun shi zhi bing huo fa mi fang 仁存孫氏治病活 法秘方, “Mr. Rencun Sun’s Secret Recipes Based on the Laws of Life to Treat Diseases,” in 10 juan survives, which was apparently written by a person called Sun Rencun. However, none of the quotations found in the BCGM occur in the Rencun Sun shi zhi bing huo fa mi fang, and LSZ is probably citing second hand from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, which refers more than a hundred recipes to a Rencun fang 仁存方, “Recipes of [Sun] Rencun.” LSZ cites the book as Rencun tang jing yan fang [1] in his bibliographical sections, and in the main text as Rencun tang fang 仁存堂方, “Recipes from the Hall of [Sun] Rencun,” [5], as Rencun fang [21], or simply as Rencun 仁存 [2]. LSZ also refers just to Sun shi 孫氏, “Mr. Sun,” but there are various authors of the surname Sun cited in the BCGM,

There are 540 substances in all, some of which were never mentioned in materia medica literature before (e.g., tofu, certain mushrooms, and water melon). There is also a supplement of food prohibitions determined by zang fu 臟腑 theory and climatic factors. The original edition is lost, but a revised edition of 1620 survives. LSZ, who had the original text at his disposal, refers to the work as Ri yong ben cao [8], as Ri yong 日用, “Daily Use,” [37], or as Wu Rui ben cao 吳瑞本草, “Materia Medica of Wu Rui,” [3]. He also refers to the work by the name of the author as Wu Rui [54] or simply Rui [47].

The book included pharmaceutical substances in use at the time as well as substances contained in earlier materia medica texts, classifying them in terms of their medicinal qualities and other categories. The original book is lost, but LSZ cites the work second hand from the → ZLBC, referring to the work as Rihua zhu jia ben cao [1], as Rihua ben cao 日華本草, “Materia Medica of Rihua,” [16], and as Rihua zi ben cao 日華子本草, “Materia Medica of Rihua zi,” [5].

A man of Si ming 四明, now Yin xian 鄞縣 in Zhe jiang 浙江. Probably the author of the → Rihua zhu jia ben cao 日華諸家本草. Rihua zi’s real name is not recorded, but LSZ states that, according to the → Qian jia xing 千家姓, Da 大 was a surname from Dong lai 東萊 (in present-day Shan dong 山東). Thus, Rihua zi’s surname might have been Da and his given name Ming 明. But his surname may also have been Tian 田, and according to LSZ there is no way to tell. LSZ refers him as Da Ming [656], Rihua 日華 [399], and Rihua zi [27]. When erroneously referring to a Fei hong ji 飛鴻集, “Flying Geese Collection,” by Tian Rihua 田日華 [1], LSZ is citing the Hong fei ji lun 鴻飛集論, “Discourse on the Goose Flight Collection,” (→ Hong fei ji 鴻飛集), a text generally attributed to Rihua zi.

Further details unavailable. rongcheng Zigao 容成子羔 Legendary person, possibly of the Tang 唐 period. The → Qian jin bei ji fang 千 金備急方, juan 19, in an entry on “elk horn pills” (mi jiao wan 麋角丸) states: Rong cheng zi gao fu er yu hua 容成子羔服而羽化. This sentence can be read either as “by ingesting elk horn paste (gao 膏), Master Rongcheng transformed into an immortal,” or as “by ingesting elk horn pills, Rongcheng Zigao transformed into an immortal.” Citing this material in SE mi 麋, LSZ writes: “With regard to what Rongcheng Zigao ingested, […] Zigao ingested [elk horn pills] and transformed into an immortal” (Rongcheng Zigao suo fu zhe […] Zigao fu
374 zhi yu hua 容成子羔所服者 […] 子羔服之羽化). This reference to Rongcheng Zigao [1] and Zigao 子羔 [1] makes it clear that LSZ considered this be the name of the person taking elk horn pills. The name Rongcheng Zigao, however, is found only in the Qian jin bei ji fang and citations of the same material in other books. Rongcheng zi 容成子, “Master Rongcheng” in comparison, was a wellknown figure, a contemporary and teacher of the Yellow Thearch (→ Huang di 黃帝 ) associated with Daoist arts. Other sources mention a Rongcheng zi who lived during the time of King Ling 靈 of Zhou 周 (r. 571-545 BCE), and there is also a late Spring and Autumn period person styled Zigao, a contemporary of Confucius (→ Kong zi 孔子), who is never mentioned in connection with the ingestion of medicinal substances. It appears improbable that the latter two persons had anything to do with taking elk horn pills to achieve immortality.

The material LSZ cites is taken from the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, which refers it to a Bo wu zhi by Ru Chun himself. But since that text is lost, there is no way to compare LSZ’s citation with the original. Ru men shi qin 儒門事親, “How Scholars Should Serve Their Parents” Jin 金 dynasty comprehensive medical text.

DC early 13th century. 15 juan (AV 14 juan). The text, as its title implies, was intended as a medical guidebook for Confucian scholars, to be used in serving their family. The text explains in some detail treatment methods for various diseases, with an emphasis on diaphoretic, purging, and emetic methods. LSZ cites the book as Ru men shi qin [77], as Zhang Zihe fang 張子和方, “Recipes of Zhang Zihe,” [3], and refers to an individual section, the → Shui jie 水解. He also refers to the work by the name of the author as Zhang Zihe 張子和 [18], Zhang Congzheng [11], Zihe 子 和 [2], or Congzheng 從正 [17]. Ru shi lun 乳石論, “discourses on Stalactite and Quartz” [1] Title of two chapters from the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方. 2 juan, that is, juan 37 and 38 of the Wai tai mi yao fang.

The work discusses the principles of medicine, pharmaceutics, and the treatment of diseases. Although the text contains much innovative and new material, it obtained a bad reputation for its criticism of some of the classic medical writers like → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景 or → Wang Shuhe 王叔和. The author was accused of heterodoxy and contradiction of the classics, thus the work did not circulate widely and was not included in the Ming and Qing 清 bibliographies. Today only a Japanese copy survives. LSZ might have seen an original copy of the book and cites the book as Ru yi jing yao [2] or by the name of the author Zhao Jizong [3]. ruan deru 阮德如 [1] Jin 晉 dynasty person. → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 describes him as a member of the nobility skilled in medicine.

Style name Shuwen 叔文, a man of Wei shi 尉氏, now part of He nan 河南. Ruan was the governor (yin 尹) of He nan and thus became known as Ruan Henan. He was known for his refined medical practice, especially his herbal fumigation techniques for harm caused by cold (shang han 傷寒) disorders. Scattered fragments of his medical discourses and recipes are preserved in the → Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急方 and the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方, and he was the author of the now lost Ruan Henan yao fang 阮河南藥方, “Medicinal Recipes of Ruan Henan,” in 16 juan. ruan Qian 阮汧 Tang 唐 dynasty person, who was sent as an envoy to Feng xi 封溪 where he heard stories about the orangutan (xing xing 猩猩).

Sun’s → Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急方 contains the same recipe, but does not attribute it to any other author, so LSZ’s reference to a Mr. Ruan may be a slip of the pen for Sun shi 孫氏, “Mr. Sun.” [4] Unidentifiable author of the → Ruan shi jing yan fang 阮氏經驗方 [3] Unidentifiable author of the → Ruan shi xiao er fang 阮氏小兒方

San fu gu shi 三輔故事, “Tales from the Three Capital districts” [2] Anonymous pre-Sui 隋 geographical text. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Size uncertain. The Sui shu jing ji zhi attributes the text to a person of Jin 晉 times, but this is uncertain. The San fu gu shi is quoted in the → San fu huang tu 三輔黃圖, so the text probably dates to the Han 漢 or Three Kingdoms Wei 魏 period, possibly Northern and Southern Dynasties at the latest. The original book is lost, but fragments are preserved in the San fu huang tu, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other works. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and in the main text, but the material cited on cheng liu 檉柳 is in fact found in the → Yu yin cong hua 漁隱叢 話 and the → Shi wen lei ju 事文類聚, two books frequently used by LSZ as a source for older works. There, the material cited on ren liu 人柳 is referred to a Jiang zhi yan fu 江之嫣賦, “Rhapsody on the Beauty of the River,” by the Tang 唐 poet → Li Shangyin 李商隱, cited from the Man sou shi hua 漫叟詩話, “Poetry Talks with a Carefree Old Man,” and not to the San fu gu shi at all. Thus, LSZ was apparently mistaken about his source. San fu huang tu 三輔黃圖, “Imperial Maps of the Three Capital districts” [2] Anonymous geographical text. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” 1 juan (AV later 3 and 6 juan). There is some dispute about the book’s date of composition, estimates range from Han 漢 or Three Kingdoms Wei 魏 over Liang 梁 or Chen 陳 dynasties down to the time after the reign of → Tang Su zong 唐肅宗 (756-762). Judging by the works the San fu huang tu is cited in (some of which date to the Northern and Southern Dynasties), a Han or Wei date of compilation seems the most probable, although some fragments were added later. The book details the geographical and architectural features of the three districts of the Qin 秦 and Han dynasty capitals (the area of Chang an 長安), including the city wall and moat, places for imperial amusement, tombs and ancestral shrines, imperial academies, etc. It is an important source for studying the early geography of Shaan xi 陝西.

The oldest was called Mao Ying 茅盈, the middle one Mao Gu 茅固, and the youngest Mao Zhong 茅衷. One after another they attained the dao 道 and went to live at Mount Ju qu 句曲, which was henceforth called Mount Mao. LSZ cites the TJBC fragment as San Mao jun zhuan [1] second hand from the → ZLBC in his main text, while referring to a fictitious → San Mao zhen jun zhuan 三茅真君傳 [1] in his bibliographical sections. San Mao zhen jun zhuan 三茅真君傳, “Biography of the Three Perfected Sovereigns Mao” Fictitious name of a biography. See bibliography of the BCGM.

The Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song,” lists a San Mao jun nei zhuan 三茅君內傳, “Inner Biography of the Three Sovereigns Mao,” by Li Zun 李遵, but this text is lost, so there is no way to know if it is the one the TJBC was referring to. San Qin ji 三秦記, “record of the Three [Parts of ] Qin” [3] Lost Han 漢 dynasty book. See bibliography of the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. Attributed to an unidentifiable → Xin shi 辛氏. The title refers to the division of the Qin 秦 empire into three parts after its fall: Yong 雍, Sai 塞, and Zhai 翟, which encompass the center and northern parts of present-day Shaan xi 陝西. The book details events from Han times and before and can therefore be dated to the late Han dynasty. Fragments are found in the → Shui jing zhu 水經注, the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the → Chu xue ji 初學記, the Tai ping yu lan, the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺, and other works. LSZ cites the book second hand from the Ben cao shi yi and the Tai ping yu lan in his bibliographical sections and the main text. San sheng gu shi 三省故事, “Story of the Three departments” [1] Incorrectly regarded as the title of a text by LSZ.

381 筆談 with a statement on how Han 漢 period officials had a habit of holding cloves (ji she xiang 雞舌香) in their mouths. He apparently regards San sheng gu shi as a book title. Now, “three departments” (san sheng 三省) is a collective designation for the Department of State Affairs (shang shu sheng 尚書省), the Secretariat (zhong shu sheng 中書省), and the Chancellery (men xia sheng 門下省) that was introduced under Cao Wei 曹魏 during the Three Kingdoms period. During the Han, the three departments had not been established yet, and the drug name ji she xiang was not in use either. The original text in the Meng xi bi tan states: “It is because of the old practice (gu shi 故事) at the three departments that officials hold ji she xiang in their mouth.” The → TJBC writes: “Among today’s physicians there is yet another saying: According to the old practice at the three departments, the gentlemen of the Department of State Affairs hold ji she xiang in their mouth, because when they report to the throne and are engaged in questions and answers, they wish to have a fragrant mouth odor.” The text apparently relates the practice of Northern Song 宋 officials at the three departments to keep some cloves in their mouth in order to generate a fragrant mouth odor.

FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by Xiao Wan 蕭萬 and others. 31 juan. The text was considered a forged history, and in contrast to the title it contains much unofficial history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period. LSZ does not list the work in his bibliographical sections but cites it second hand in the main text. He takes his material from the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, which, however, cites the same fragment as from the Qian Zhao lu 前 趙錄, “Records of Former Zhao.” Only the following fragment is referred to a San shi guo chun qiu there, so the reference in the BCGM is apparently based on a copying error.

He also refers to a San shi liu shui fang 三十六水方, “Recipes for 36 Aqueous Solutions” [2] in his main text, and this title is also found in the → Lie xian zhuan 列仙傳 and → Shen xian zhuan 神仙傳, so a book of this name can be dated to the Han 漢 to Jin 晉 dynasties. The material LSZ quotes as from a San shi liu shui fang can be found in the San shi liu shui fa as well, we may therefore assume that the two titles refer to one and the same book.

The book includes practical methods for life cultivation from Confucian, Daoist, and medical teachings.

Lived in Lin an 臨安, now Hang zhou 杭州 in Zhe jiang 浙江. The → Chun zhu ji wen 春渚紀聞 relates a story of how he observed how an herbal decoction transformed a person into water, with only his skeleton left, and transformed the cauldron that had held the decoction into gold.

According to the Gu qing liang zhuan 古清涼傳, “Accounts from the Ancient Clear and Cool [Mountain]” (→ Qing liang zhuan 清 涼傳), he developed festering ulcers all over his body after he was denounced for not being able to control his desires. He was cured with a preparation of chang song 長松.

He was a first-ranking jin shi and attained an academic court post in 1053. He is said to have specialized in medical studies due to a disease of his mother’s. During the Northern Song, many famous physicians came from Wei zhou, and all of them were influenced by Gao’s teachings. Apart from writing the Shang han lei yao, the Su wen wu wen que yi 素問誤文闕義, “On Flawed Interpretations in Erroneous Writings on the Su wen,” and other books, Gao participated in the editing of classics such as the → Shang han lun 傷寒論 and the → Jin kui yao lüe 金匱要略.

389 is lost, but the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 preserved a fragment, which passed through many hands to finally be quoted in the → ZLBC. LSZ takes this over, citing the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Shang han shi shu 傷寒十書, “Ten Books on Harm Caused by Cold” [1] Collection of books on harm caused by cold (shang han 傷寒). See bibliography of the BCGM, Jin ling 金陵 edition, the later Jiang xi 江西 edition has this as Shang han liu shu 傷寒六書, “Six Books on Harm Caused by Cold.” The latter was the original book written by → Tao Hua 陶華, DC 1445. As the title implies, it only comprised six texts. Later compilers added another four texts by Tao to produce the Shang han shi shu, DC 1531. The Shang han liu shu comprised the 1) Shang han suo yan 傷寒瑣言, “Trivial Words on Harm Caused by Cold,” the 2) Shang han jia mi di ben 傷寒家秘的本, “Original Book of Family Secrets on Harm Caused by Cold,” the 3) Shang han sha che chui fa 傷寒殺車槌法, “Chariot and Mallet Methods against Killing by Harm Caused by Cold,” (→ Shang han chui fa 傷寒槌法) the 4) Shang han yi ti jin 傷寒一提金, “[Treatments] for Harm Caused by Cold Worth a Dipper Full of Gold,” the 5) Shang han zheng mai yao jie jiang wang 傷寒證脈藥截江網, “Harm Caused by Cold Patterns, [Movements in the] Vessels, and Medicinals – A Net Cutting Across the River,” and the 6) Shang han ming li xu lun 傷寒明理續論, “Continued Discourse on Clarifying the Principles of Harm Caused by Cold.” The four other texts are the 1) Shang han zhi li dian jin 傷寒治例點金, “Turning [Crude] Examples of Treatment for Harm Caused by Cold into Gold,” the 2) Shang han zhi li zhi zhi 傷寒治例直指, “Straightforward Guide to Examples of Treatment for Harm Caused by Cold,” the 3) Shang han zhi ge biao ben lun 傷寒直格標本論, “Discourse on Branches and Roots [of Disease] and on Straightforward Standards for [the Treatment of ] Harm Caused by Cold,” and the 4) Shang han duan duan jin 傷寒段段錦, “Fragments of Brocade [for the Treatment of ] Harm Caused by Cold.” LSZ lists the collection as Shang han shi shu (later Shang han liu shu) [1] in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it directly in the main text. He does, however refer to the Shang han chui fa [2] and less specifically to Tao Hua [4] and to a Tao hua fang 陶華方, “Recipe of Tao Hua,” [1] in the main text of the BCGM. Shang han shu 傷寒書, “Book on Harm Caused by Cold” This is LSZ’s name for the Shang han wei zhi lun 傷寒微旨論, “On the Subtle Meanings of the Shang han lun.” FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” Written by → Han Zhihe 韓祗和. DC 1086. 2 juan. The book studies and explains the ideas of → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景 on harm caused by cold (shang han 傷寒), often offering new views on topics like pulse diagnosis or treatment methods. The book had limited circulation, but much of it was preserved in the Yong le da dian 永樂 大典, “Great Encyclopedia of the Yong le Reign Period,” from which the Qing 清 editors of the Si ku quan shu 四庫全書, “Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” reconstructed an edition. → Wang Haogu 王好古 in his → Yin zheng lüe li 陰證略例 cites material by Han Zhihe as Han Zhihe wen zhong li 韓祗和溫中例, “Examples by Han Zhihe for Warming the Center,” and this is
390 probably the source of LSZ’s material. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections as Shang han shu [1] along with the author’s name and in the main text labels material from it Han Zhihe [1]. Shang han yun yao 傷寒蘊要, “Collected Essentials on Harm Caused by Cold” Book on harm caused by cold (shang han 傷寒).

The book was intended as an introductory text on the → Shang han lun 傷寒論 and lists the main shang han disease signs as well as their treatment methods, focusing particularly on diagnostics (inspection as well as tongue and pulse diagnosis). LSZ cites the book as Shang han yun yao [13], as Yun yao 蘊要, “Collected Essentials,” [1], or using the author’s name, Wu Shou [12]. Shang han zhi ge 傷寒直格, “Straightforward Standards for [the Treatment of ] Harm Caused by Cold” [2] Book on harm caused by cold (shang han 傷寒).

Juan 1 is a general theoretical medical introduction, juan 2 focuses on the six conduits affected by harm caused by cold and treatment methods for external and internal patterns, while juan 3 details recipes from the → Shang han lun 傷寒論 as well as 34 recipes attributed to Liu. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Shang han zong bing lun 傷寒總病論, “discourse on all diseases from Harm Caused by Cold” Book on harm caused by cold (shang han 傷寒). FE Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝 文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises.” Written by → Pang Anshi 龐安時. DC 2nd half of the 11th century. 6 juan. The book is one of the earliest commentaries on the Shang han za bing lun 傷寒雜病論, “Discourse on Harm Caused by Cold and Miscellaneous Diseases,” (→ Shang han lun 傷寒 論 ) of → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景. It does not confine itself to the original material of the Shang han lun but also covers disease signs like macules and smallpox, epidemic diseases caused by heat or summerheat, or pediatric and gynecological ailments. LSZ quotes the book as Shang han zong bing lun [3] and Shang han lun [14], distinguishing the latter title from the original Shang han lun by affixing Pang Anshi’s name. He also refers to the work as Zong bing lun 總病 論, “Discourse on All Diseases,” [3] or using the author’s name as Pang Anchang fang 龐安常方, “Recipes of Pang Anchang,” [1], Pang Anchang [1], and Pang Anshi [2]. Shang lin fu 上林賦, “rhapsody on the upper Forest”[9] Fu 賦 by Sima Xiangru 司馬相如, the second and later part of the → Zi xu fu 子 虛賦 preserved in the → Shi ji 史記 and the → Han shu 漢書. The Shang lin fu was made a separate poem in the → Wen xuan 文選. Among others, the Han shu was annotated by the scholar → Yan Shigu 顔師古, therefore LSZ also refers to
391 Yan’s annotations as Yan Shigu zhu Shang lin fu 顔師古注上林賦, “The Shang lin fu, Annotated by Yan Shigu,” [1]. Shang qing Jin Pengtou zushi 上清金蓬頭祖師, “Founder Jin Pengtou of the Highest Purity” (died 1336) [1] This is Jin Zhiyang 金志揚, a Yuan 元 era Daoist. Literary name Ye’an 野庵, “Rustic Hut,” nicknamed Pengtou 蓬頭, “Matted Hair.” A specialist in internal alchemy (nei dan 內丹), he was revered by the Quan zhen 全真 sect as the Shang qing Jin Pengtou zushi. In SE lü fan 綠礬, LSZ cites a recipe for “pills that fell a tree” (fa mu wan 伐木丸) from the → Xian chuan fang 仙傳方 of → Zhang Sanfeng 張三丰, which claims that the recipe was transmitted by the Shang qing Jin Pengtou zushi. Shang qing jue 上清訣, “Instructions on Highest Purity” [1] Daoist book. EE → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽.

Shang qing zi ting xian fang 上清紫庭仙方 → Shang qing zi ting zhui lao fang 上 清紫庭追勞方 Shang qing zi ting zhui lao fang 上清紫庭追勞方, “recipes for Pursuing Exhaustion from the Purple Palace of Highest Purity” Medical recipe book. FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” Author uncertain, sometimes attributed to a Zhao Yuanyang 趙 元陽. DC (according to the preface) probably Yuan 元. 1 juan (AV 9 juan). The Daoist → Zhao Yizhen 趙宜真 (also called Yuanyang zhenren 趙原陽真人, “Yuanyang the Perfected One”) edited recipes and discourses for the treatment of exhaustion diseases to produce similar material as found in the Shang qing zi ting zhui lao fang. Therefore his followers associated him with this book, which was in fact not written by him at all. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections as Shang qing zi ting zhui lao fang [1] and in the main text as Shang qing zi ting xian fang 上清紫庭仙方, “Immortals’ Recipes from the Purple Palace of Highest Purity,” [1]. Shang shu 尚書, “documents of the Elder” Confucian classic. AN Shu 書, “Documents,” Shu jing 書經, “Classic of Documents.” Traditionally considered a compilation by Confucius (→ Kong zi 孔子) himself. The character shang 尚, a homophone for shang 上, alludes to the term shang dai 上代, “ancient times.” The documents are said to have originated from these ancient times, although various parts (such as the → Hong fan 洪範 or the → Yu gong 禹貢) were added during the Warring States period or even later. By Western Han 漢 times there were many different versions of the Shang shu associated with two textual traditions, the new text (jin wen 今文) and the old text (gu wen 古文) tradition, the texts for the latter supposedly found hidden in the walls of Confucius’ house. All these versions were lost, but during the Eastern Jin 晉 dynasty a certain Mei Ze 梅賾 submitted another old text edition, which Ming 明 and Qing 清 scholars considered a forgery. After much dispute, the
392 current version in the Shi san jing zhu shu 十三經注疏, “Annotations and Commentaries to the Thirteen Classics,” was compiled from that text, fragments of the older ones, and various commentaries. LSZ’s listing of a Shang shu zhu shu 尚書注疏, “Annotations and Commentaries to the Shang shu,” [1] by → Kong Anguo 孔安國 in his bibliographical sections as well as the references to the Shang shu [3] or Shu [4] and to Kong Anguo himself all go back to the forged Jin dynasty text.

DC early Song 宋 or before. Fragments on Daoist pills and dietary instructions are quoted in the Song dynasty Yun ji qi qian 雲笈七籤, “Seven Slips from a Book Chest of Clouds,” by → Zhang Junfang 張君房 and in the TJBC. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections but cites it second hand in his main text. Shang zhu jiao 商助教, “assistant Instructor Shang” [1] This is the title of Shang Xi 商熙, a Southern Song 宋 official. Served as assistant instructor (zhu jiao 助教) in Fang zhou 坊州, in the southeast of present-day Huang ling 黃陵. He once employed a “powder to nourish the kidneys” (yang shen san 養腎散) to cure the prefect → Chen Fengyuan 陳逢原 of pain in his lower back and knees. Shangqiu zi 商丘子, “Master Shangqiu” [2] This is Shangqiu Zixu 商丘子胥, a Han 漢 dynasty immortal. A man of Gao yi 高邑 in the north of present-day Bo xiang 柏鄉 in He bei 河北. Master Shangqiu is said to have enjoyed raising pigs and playing the yu 竽 flute, and he never got married. Legend has it that he reached an age of more than 300 years. The → Yang zhu jing 養豬經 is attributed to him. LSZ mentions him in SE zi 梓. Shangu dao bi 山谷刀筆, “Knife and Brush of [Huang] Shangu” [1] Name of a book. See bibliography of the BCGM. While LSZ mentions neither author nor size, the Xu wen xian tong kao 續文獻通考, “Sequel to the Comprehensive Study of Literary and Documentary Sources,” assigns the book to → Huang Tingjian 黃庭堅 and sets its size at 20 juan. The book is comprised of examples of Huang’s correspondence arranged by year. All were selected from Huang’s Shangu ji 山谷集, “Collection of [Huang] Shangu,” (→ Huang Shangu ji 黃山谷集) and presented as independent documents. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it directly in the main text, although references to Huang Shangu 黃山谷, the author’s literary name, may be to this text. Shao 紹 → Deng Shao 鄧紹 Shao Bowen 邵伯溫 (1057-1134) [1] Northern Song 宋 official, the son of Shao Yong 邵雍 (→ Shao Yaofu 邵堯夫). Style name Ziwen 子文, a man of Luo yang 洛陽, now part of He nan 河南. He was the author of the Wen jian lu 聞見錄, “Records of Things Heard and Seen,”
393 (→ Shao shi wen jian lu 邵氏聞見錄) and many other books. However, material cited by LSZ as from the Wen jian lu is actually from the Wen jian hou lu 聞見後 錄, “Later Records of Things Heard and Seen,” (DC 1157) by Shao’s son, Shao Bo 邵博. Apart from that, LSZ cites some material by Shao Bowen himself. Shao Guizi 邵桂子 [2] Late Song 宋, early Yuan 元 literatus. Style name Defang 德芳, a man of Chun an 淳安, now part of Zhe jiang 浙江, jin shi 1271. He held a local teaching post but was forced to retire due to the fall of the Song. He moved to Song jiang 松 江 (now part of Shang hai 上海) and built himself a pavilion called Xue zhou 雪 舟, “Snow Boat,” on the lakeside. He did his writing there, creating the Xue zhou cuo gao 雪舟脞稿, “Trivial Drafts from the Snow Boat,” and the Xue zhou cuo yu 雪舟脞語, “Trivial Conversations from the Snow Boat,” abbreviated by LSZ as → Weng tian yu 瓮天語. Shao Hao shi 少皞氏, “Gentleman Shao Hao” [1] Legendary chieftain of the Eastern Yi 夷 tribe in ancient times, also called Shao Hao 少昊. As the Eastern Yi took birds as their totems, they also used the names of birds to designate their officials. LSZ cites this from the → Zuo zhuan 左傳 in SE sang hu 桑鳸. Shao Kang 少康 Legendary king and founder of the Xia 夏 dynasty. According to the → Shuo wen jie zi 説文解字 , he invented the technology of brewing and is identified as Du Kang 杜康. The → Ben cao yan yi 本草衍義 recounts this story, and LSZ takes it over in SE jiu 酒, referring to the king as Shao Kang [1] and Du Kang [1]. Shao shi 邵氏, “Mr. Shao” [5] → Shao Yizheng 邵以正, author of the → Jing yan fang 經驗方 and compiler of the → Qing nang za zuan 青囊雜纂.
[1] In → Shao shi wen jian lu 邵氏聞見錄 this is → Shao Bowen 邵伯溫 or his son Shao Bo 邵博. [1] → Shao shi nü 邵氏女
[1] In SE lu 鹿, this is a person of uncertain identity. LSZ cites an explanation of his. Shao shi fang 邵氏方 → Jing yan fang 經驗方 Shao shi jing yan fang 邵氏經驗方 → Jing yan fang 經驗方 Shao shi nü 邵氏女, “Girl of the Shao Clan” [1] Southern Song 宋 person from Jing hu 鏡湖 in Yue zhou 越州, in the north of present-day Shao xing 紹興 in Zhe jiang 浙江. Daughter of a local influential figure called Shao 邵. According to the → Yi shuo 醫説, she developed a consumption disease at the age of 18 and suffered from it for several years. Eventually, a fisherman cured her with an eel broth. LSZ takes over the story in his main text, erroneously writing gui 鱖, Mandarin fish, instead of man 鰻, eel.
394 Shao shi qing nang fang 邵氏青囊方 → Qing nang za zuan 青囊雜纂 Shao shi wen jian lu 邵氏聞見錄, “records of Things Heard and Seen by Mr. Shao” [1] Northern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記) and encyclopedia. Written by → Shao Bowen 邵伯溫, but the work LSZ is quoting is actually the Wen jian hou lu 聞見後錄, “Later Records of Things Heard and Seen,” by Shao Bowen’s son Shao Bo 邵博 (DC 1157). This book, named after the father’s work, contains many fragmentary writings from the classics, histories, philosophical works, and collections, including material on medicine and pharmaceutics. LSZ takes a recipe by Zheng Shifu 鄭師甫 (→ Zheng Shifu fang 鄭師甫方) and some material on → Xia Ying gong 夏英公 from the Wen jian hou lu, erroneously citing the latter as from the Shao shi wen jian lu. He also does not list any of Shao’s works in his bibliographical sections, therefore this reference to the Shao shi wen jian lu is probably miscopied from another source. Shao yao pu 芍藥譜, “Peony Treatise” [1] Northern Song 宋 text. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” Written by Liu Ban 劉攽 (→ Liu Gongfu 劉貢父). DC 1073. 1 juan. The book describes 31 kinds of peonies grown in Yang zhou 揚州. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it in the main text. Shao yaofu 邵堯夫 (1012-1077) This is the style name of Shao Yong 邵雍, a Song 宋 dynasty philosopher and founder of the Neo-Confucianist icono-numerological school (xiang shu xue 象數學). Posthumous name Kangjie 康節. Originally from Fan yang 範陽, he moved to Gong cheng 共城, now Hui xian 輝縣 in He nan 河南, as a child. As an adult, he lived in seclusion at the Hundred Springs (bai yuan 百源) at Mount Su men 蘇門 and was therefore called Baiyuan xiansheng 白源先生, “Gentleman of the Hundred Springs.” Shao finally moved to Luo yang 洛陽, where he interacted with other thinkers like → Sima Guang 司馬光 or Lü Gongzhu 呂公著. He was the author of the → Huang ji jing shi shu 皇極經世書, the Yi chuan ji ran ji 伊川擊壤集, “Collection Produced while Living in Peace at the River Yi,” and other books. LSZ cites the Huang ji jing shi shu and lists a → Shao Yaofu ji 邵堯 夫集 in his bibliographical sections. He refers to Shao as Shao Yaofu [2] and as Shao zi 邵子, “Master Shao,” [1]. Shao Yaofu ji 邵堯夫集, “Collection of Shao yaofu” [1] Literary anthology. See bibliography of the BCGM. → Shao Yaofu 邵堯夫 is the Song 宋 philosopher and cosmologist Shao Yong 邵雍. There is a literary collection of Shao Yong, the Yi chuan ji rang ji 伊川擊壤集, “Collection Produced while Living in Peace at the River Yi,” AN Ji rang ji 擊壤集, “Collection Produced while Living in Peace,” but the verses cited by LSZ are not taken from that book. Rather, they have been taken from the Ji zuan yuan hai 記纂淵海, “Deep Ocean of Records and Compilations,” of Pan Zimu 潘自牧. It is Pan who refers to a Shao Yaofu ji correctly or incorrectly, and LSZ takes over the name in his bibliographical sections.
395 Shao yingjie 邵應節 [2] This is LSZ’s name for Shao Yuanjie 邵元節, a Ming 明 dynasty Daoist. A man of Gui xi 貴溪 in present-day Jiang xi 江西. Shao was a priest of the Orthodox Unity (zheng yi 正一) Daoist current at the Shang qing gong 上清宮 monastery on mount Long hu 龍虎. In 1524 he received an invitation to go to the capital where he became famous for his exorcism and other Daoist ritual performances and was eventually conferred the title “perfected one” (zhenren 真人). LSZ calls him Shao Yingjie for reasons unknown. Shao yizheng 邵以正 (died 1462) Ming 明 dynasty Daoist and medical writer. A man of Gu su 姑蘇, now Su zhou 蘇州 in Jiang su 江蘇, He was in charge of Daoist rituals in the capital during the zheng tong 正統 reign period (1436-1449). During the jing tai 景泰 reign period (1450-1456) he received the literary name Tongmiao zhenren 通妙 真人, “The Perfected One Who Penetrated the Miraculous,” hence being known as Shao zhenren 邵真人, “Shao the Perfected One.” His teacher was → Liu Changchun 劉長春, who had edited eight medical texts received from → Zhao Yizhen 趙宜真. These texts were passed down to Shao Yizheng, who added his own Mi chuan jing yan fang 秘傳經驗方, “Secretly Transmitted Tried and Proven Recipes,” (→ Jing yan fang 經驗方 ) to produce the → Qing nang za zuan 青囊雜纂. LSZ refers to Shao as Shao Yizhen [3], as Shao zhenren [17], and as Shao shi 邵氏, “Mr. Shao,” [6], citing the Qing nang za zuan itself or the Jing yan fang and → Ji ji xian fang 濟急仙方 contained in it.

FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” Written by Zhang Shiche 張時徹. DC 1550. 11 juan. The text is divided into 47 categories with the appropriate recipes. LSZ quotes the book as She sheng zhong miao fang [8] in the main text but does not list this title in his bibliographical sections. Instead, he cites a She sheng miao yong fang 攝生妙用, “Miraculously Used Recipes to Conserve Life,” [4] in his bibliography and the main text, without indication of an author. He also frequently
396 refers to a She sheng fang 攝生方, “Recipes to Conserve Life,” [17], but whether the material cited under all these titles is from the same source remains to be verified. The author Zhang Shiche (born 1504) was a high official. Style name Weijing 維靜, literary name Dongsha 東沙, “Eastern Sand,” Zhiyuan zhuren 芝園主人, “Master of the Sesame Garden.” A man of Yin xian 鄞縣 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江, jin shi 1523. Of bad health, he perceived a lack of effective recipes for himself and other sick people and thus began collecting recipes. Apart from the She sheng zhong miao fang, he was also the author of the → Ji jiu liang fang 急 救良方, a Shang han jin jing lu 傷寒金鏡錄, “Record of the Bronze Mirror of Harm Caused by Cold,” a She sheng zong lun 攝生總論, “General Discourse on Conserving Life,” and various literary collections.

According to the → Yi shuo 醫説, he suffered from “rice conglomeration-illness” (mi jia 米瘕) from 963 to 967 but was eventually cured by a monk named → Daoguang 道廣 with a medication prepared from chicken droppings and white rice. LSZ takes this over in SE ji 雞 but erroneously renders his name Shen Gongdao 慎恭道 [1]. Shen Gongdao 慎恭道 → Shen Daogong 慎道恭 Shen Gua 沈括 (1031-1095) Northern Song 宋 high official and medical theorist. Style name Cunzhong 存 中, a man of Qian tang 錢瑭, now Hang zhou 杭州 in Zhe jiang 浙江, jin shi during the jia you 嘉祐 reign period (1056-1063). He held various high posts including one at the Han lin 翰林 Academy, hence his nickname Shen Neihan 沈 内翰, “Shen of the Han [lin Academy].” Shen was the author of the → Meng xi bi tan 夢溪筆談, a → Ling yuan fang 靈苑方, the → Liang fang 良方 (later integrated into the → Su Shen liang fang 蘇沈良方), and other books. LSZ refers to him as Shen Gua [29], Shen Neihan [2], Shen Cunzhong 沈存中 [33], Shen shi 沈氏, “Mr. Shen” [9], and as Cunzhong [1]. Most of the references to one of Shen Gua’s names involve material from the Meng xi bi tan. Shen Huaiyuan 沈懷遠 [4] Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty man from Wu xing 吳興 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江. He held a regional post in Wu kang 武康 (now De qing 德清 in Zhe jiang) and was the author of the → Nan yue zhi 南越志. Shen Jiong 沈炯 (503-561) [1] Official and poet of the Liang 梁 and Chen 陳 dynasties. Style name Chuming 初明, a man of Wu kang 武康 in Wu xing 吳興, now De qing 德清 in Zhe jiang 浙江. He held high central posts under the Liang and Chen but returned to his home town in 561. LSZ attributes a statement on cheng liu 檉柳 to a fu 賦 writ-
397 ten by Shen, but the material quoted originates from a comment by the Tang 唐 author → Li Shan 李善 to the → Nan du fu 南都賦 of → Zhang Heng 張衡 and has nothing to do with Shen’s writings. Shen jun 神君, “divine Lord” [1] Name of an immortal. The → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 comments on the drug name tai yi yu liang 太一餘糧: “Tai yi 太一, the ‘Great Unity,’ is the revered origin of the Dao. Tai 太 means da 大‚ ‘great,’ yi 一, ‘one,’ is the Dao. The teacher of the great Dao is the master of transformation of Yu (Yu zhi li hua 禹之理化), Shen jun was the teacher of Yu. The teacher regularly ingested tai yi yu liang, thus the designation tai yi yu liang includes the expression “Great Unity’.” The Shen jun referred to here was obviously the legendary teacher of Yu the Great (→ Da Yu 大禹). LSZ cites this story in SE tai yi yu liang 太一餘糧, but he reads the characters li hua 理化 and Shen jun together, turning Shen jun’s name into Lihua shenjun 理化神君, ‘The Divine Lord Who Masters Transformation.” Shen Li 沈立 (1007-1078) [2] Northern Song 宋 official. Style name Lizhi 立之, a man of Li yang 歷陽 in He zhou 和州, now He xian 和縣 in An hui 安徽. He was a jin shi and held various local offices. Due to these, he had specialized knowledge on irrigation techniques and tea cultivation. Shen was the author of the → Hai tang ji 海棠記, which LSZ mixes up with the → Hai tang pu 海棠譜 of Chen Si 陳思. Shen mi fang 神秘方, “divine Secret recipes” [1] Title of a book cited by LSZ in SE wu yu 烏芋. The Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經 籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui,” lists a Shen xian fu shi shen mi fang 神仙服食神祕方, “Divine Secret Recipes for Ingesting Essences of the Divine Immortals,” in 2 juan, and the Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song,” a Fu shi shen mi fang 服食神秘 方, “Divine Secret Recipes for Ingesting Essences,” in 1 juan. Both texts are lost. The material LSZ cites from a Shen mi fang, however, is a purely medical recipe and has nothing to do with alchemy and ingesting essences. No medical book called Shen mi fang is listed in the standard bibliographical sources, and no such book is quoted by any other medical author of Ming 明 times or before. Shen Neihan 沈内翰 → Shen Gua 沈括 Shen nong 神農, “The divine Farmer” Legendary culture hero and founder of agriculture and pharmaceutics. The → Huai nan zi 淮南子 states that Shen nong “sampled the flavors of all herbs and the sweetness and bitterness of waters and springs. He had the people understand what to avoid and what to use. At that time, he encountered 70 poisonous [substances] a day.” Therefore some later materia medica literature is attributed to Shen nong, and his name is included into the titles of many pharmaceutical books. LSZ frequently refers to the divine farmer in connection with material from the → Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經, and apart from that refers to him as Shen nong shi 神農氏, “Master Shen nong,” [2].
398 Shen nong 神農, “The divine Farmer” [22] Name of a book, supposedly the original → Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本 草經. LSZ refers to the old table of contents (jiu mu 舊目) of Shen nong, claiming this to be the original table of contents of the Shen nong ben cao jing. He also refers to a Shen nong written in vermillion (zhu shu 朱書), meaning red characters in early Shen nong ben cao jing manuscripts.
[92] General term for pre-Han 漢 materia medica texts of unknown title and contents. These descriptions of drug properties, quoted by LSZ from the → Wu Pu ben cao 吳普本草, differ from the contents of the → Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經 and may originate from earlier texts distributed under the name of Shen nong. Shen nong ben cao 神農本草 → Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經 Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經, “The divine Farmer’s Classic of Materia Medica” Anonymous CMM. FE → Qi lu 七錄. Authorship uncertain, traditionally attributed to the legendary → Shen nong 神農 . DC presumably 1st/2nd centuries. Through the ages there were different opinions about the book’s date of compilation: Some considered it a work of the Warring States period to Qin 秦 and Western Han 漢; others, pointing out the occurrence of Eastern Han place names in the text, attributed it to physicians of late Eastern Han. Some commentators date it to the Han but claim that the book contains ancient pharmaceutical knowledge reaching back to the times of the legendary culture heroes. 4 juan (AV 3 juan). 365 drug descriptions, divided into three ranks of upper (shang 上), middle (zhong 中), and lower (xia 下) substances. After being edited by → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 during the Southern Liang 梁 dynasty, the book circulated widely and was revered as the classic of materia medica. LSZ lists the table of contents of the Shen nong ben cao jing and without specifying his source merely states: “[...] I preserve this table of contents for reference to what was said in ancient times.” Before the Song 宋 dynasty, materia medica manuscripts quoted the original text in vermillion characters. Later, beginning with the → Kai bao ben cao 開寶本草, it was quoted in printed texts using white characters on black. LSZ generally quotes the Shen nong ben cao jing from the → ZLBC, labeling his material with the complete title, abbreviated versions of the title, or alternative titles, such as Ben jing 本經, “Original Classic,” [c. 1354], as Jing 經, “Classic,” [11], as Shen nong ben jing 神農本經, “The Divine Farmer’s Original Classic,” [17], as Shen nong ben cao 神農本草, “The Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica,” [13], as Ben cao jing 本草 經, “Classic of Materia Medica,” [3], as Nong jing 農經, “The Farmer’s Classic,” [2], as Shen nong gu ben cao 神農古本草, “The Divine Farmer’s Ancient Materia Medica,” [1], or as the Shen nong shu 神農書, “The Divine Famer’s Book,” [1]. Two quotes labeled Shen nong jing 神農經, “Classic of the Divine Farmer,” derive from the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and their original source remains uncertain. The term → Shen nong 神農 alone may refer either to the Shen nong ben cao jing or to other early materia medica texts.

He once suffered from an eye infliction, and frequently saw demonic things. → Xu Sibo 徐嗣伯 cured him, and LSZ cites this story in SE si ren zhen xi 死人枕席. Shen sheng 沈生, “Mr. Shen” [1] Yuan 元 dynasty man from Hang zhou 杭州. Personal name unknown. According to the → Chuo geng lu 輟耕錄, he once cut off his own genitals and later cured the bleeding by ingesting a powder prepared from the part cut off. LSZ relates this story in SE ren shi 人勢. Shen shi 沈氏 → Shen Gua 沈括 Shen shi 深師, “Master Shen” [11] Monk and medical expert from Liu Song 劉宋 and Qi 齊 during the Northern and Southern Dynasties reign period (LSZ dates him to Eastern Jin 晉). Further details about his life are unavailable. Apparently he was an expert in the treat-
400 ment of “leg qi” (jiao qi 腳氣) and the author of what became known as the → Shen shi fang 深師方, which included many recipes for leg diseases. Thus LSZ incorrectly makes Shen shi the author of the anonymous → Jiao qi lun 腳氣論, claiming that he is the same person as → Mei shi 梅師. Shen shi fang 深師方, “recipes of Master Shen” Medical recipe book. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. This is the Seng Shen yao fang 僧深藥方, “Medicinal Recipes of Monk Shen,” (FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書 經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui”). Written by a monk called Shen 深 (→ Shen shi 深師). DC 5th century. 30 juan. The original book is lost, but fragments are preserved in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方, the → TJBC, the ZLBC, and other books. LSZ does not list this title in his bibliographical sections but refers to a → Jiao qi lun 腳氣論 by Shen shi instead. In the main text of the BCGM, the Jiao qi lun is not referred to Shen shi again but to → Mei shi 梅師 (whom LSZ erroneously considers to be the same person), and the material associated with Shen shi is cited second hand from the ZLBC as Shen shi fang [14] or under Shen shi’s name alone [11]. Shen tianshi 申天師, “Shen the Celestial Master” [1] Daoist of Later Shu 蜀 during the Five Dynasties period. Personal name unknown. Legend has it that he was a grandson of → Tang Xuan zong 唐玄宗. He resided at mount Qing cheng 青城. According to the → Ye ren xian hua 野人閑話, he wrote the Yi shen lun 怡神論, “Discourse on the Happy State of Mind,” which includes a method of ingesting apricot kernels. LSZ cites this in SE xing 杏. Shen Tu 神荼 [2] Legendary spirit of ancient times, brother of → Yu lei 鬱壘. The brothers were capable of subduing demons by examining them under a peach tree. If a demon caused misfortune, they would tie it up with reeds and feed it to a tiger. Therefore people in later times hung peachwood charms with the two spirits painted on them above their doors to guard their home against demons. LSZ refers to the brothers in connection with these stories. Shen xian fang 神仙方 → Xian fang 仙方 Shen xian fu shi fang 神仙服食方, “The divine Immortals’ recipes for Ingesting Essences” [2] Lost Northern and Southern Dynasties period Daoist book on life cultivation.

Shen xian fu shi jing 神仙服食經, “The divine Immortals’ Classic of Ingesting Essences” [2] Lost Daoist book on life cultivation. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” The Jiu Tang shu jing ji zhi 舊唐 書經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Tang,” attributes a book of that name to an unidentifiable Jingli xiansheng 京里先生, “Gentleman Jing-
401 li.” DC probably Northern and Southern Dynasties period. 10 juan (AV 12 juan). Fragments are preserved in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and other books.

FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” AN originally Shen xian gan yu zhuan 神 仙感遇傳, “Stories of Encounters with Divine Immortals.” Compiled by → Du Guangting 杜光庭. The Southern Song 宋 Ji zuan yuan hai 記纂淵海, “Deep Ocean of Records and Compilations,” the → Gu jin shi lei he bi 古今事類合璧, and other texts cite the book as Shen xian gan ying pian. LSZ takes this name over, listing the work in his bibliographical sections and quoting a recipe containing fireflies associated with → Wu Chengzi 務成子 in SE ying huo 螢火. Shen xian jiao zi fa 神仙教子法, “a divine Immortal’s Method for Bringing up Children” [1] A method to prevent seasonal illness, cited in the → ZLBC as from the → Shang han lei yao 傷寒類要. LSZ cites the same method in SE wu jing 蕪菁 but does not mention the Shang han lei yao as its origin. As the name Shen xian jiao zi fa is placed at the end of the prescription, it can easily be mistaken as the title of a book. Shen xian mi zhi 神仙秘旨, “Secret Instructions of divine Immortals” [2] Lost, anonymous Daoist book. See bibliography of the → ZLBC, but not mentioned in other sources. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text, taking his material from the ZLBC. Shen xian zhi cao jing 神仙芝草經, “The divine Immortals’ Classic of Zhi-Herbs” [2] Anonymous Daoist book. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. The ZLBC cites from this work from the Dao zang 道藏, “Daoist Canon,” (→ Dao zang jing 道 藏經), but the present Dao zang only contains a text called Tai shang ling bao zhi cao pin 太上靈寶芝草品, “The Highest Kinds of Zhi-Herbs of the Numinous Treasure.” This includes a Zhi cao tu xiang kao 芝草圖詳考, “Illustrations of ZhiHerbs Examined in Detail,” with similar material on zhi 芝 fungi for life cultivation, but whether this is the text referred to by the ZLBC remains uncertain. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text, taking his material from the ZLBC. Shen xian zhuan 神仙傳, “Biographies of divine Immortals” [7] Jin 晉 dynasty collection of tales of the strange (zhi guai xiao shuo 志怪小説). FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui,” and → Jin shu 晉書, biography of → Ge Hong 葛洪. Written by Ge Hong. 10 juan. In compiling the book, Ge Hong sought to expand on the 70 immortals listed in the → Lie xian zhuan 列仙傳, collecting stories about 190 immortals from various sources. The original book is lost, but fragments are found in
402 the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記 and other works. The various extant versions such as the Si ku quan shu 四庫全書, “Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” edition contain no more than half of the original book. The book was cited by the → ZLBC, but LSZ apparently took his quotations from some of the other sources. Shen xiansheng 申先生, “Gentleman Shen” Northern Song 宋 physician. Personal name unknown, a man of Tie weng cheng 鐵瓮城, now Zhen jiang 鎮江 in Jiang su 江蘇. The Northern Song man → Yu Tongfeng 俞通奉 is said to have received an “elixir of mutual interaction” (jiao gan dan 交感丹) from a Shen xiansheng 申先生 from Tie weng cheng, obviously a contemporary of Yu’s. LSZ mentions the jiao gan dan in SE sha cao xiang fu zi 莎草香附子 and elsewhere a “fine jade paste” (qiong yu gao 瓊玉膏), referring both recipes to the Tie weng cheng Shen xiansheng [3]. This seems to be correct, as is one reference to a Tie weng xiansheng 鐵瓮先生, “Gentleman of Tie weng,” [1] in a citation from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方. However, in SE zhu 术 LSZ cites a jiao gan dan associated with the Tie weng cheng Shen xiansheng from the → Sheng ji zong lu 聖濟總錄, but the Sheng ji zong lu has no such recipe. Also, in SE xuan jing shi 玄精石, LSZ erroneously attributes a “seven-day-cycle elixir” (lai fu dan 來復丹) to Tie weng Shen xiansheng 鐵瓮申先生, “Gentleman Shen of Tie weng,” [1], which is originally referred to a Tie weng cheng ba jiao gui xiansheng 鐵瓮城八角桂先生, “The Aniseed and Cassia Gentleman of Tie weng City,” in the → He ji ju fang 和劑局方. Shen xiao fang 神效方, “divinely Effective recipes” [1] Source of pharmaceutical recipes erroneously cited by LSZ in SE hu 虎.

Shen yi ji 神異記, “records of deities and Extraordinary Things” [1] Lost collection of tales of the strange (zhi guai xiao shuo 志怪小説). See bibliography of the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. Attributed there to one Wang Fu 王 浮, who may have been a man of Western Jin 晉. The book was frequently cited before Tang 唐 times, and some considered it a work of → Dongfang Shuo 東方 朔. 1 juan. LSZ lists the text in his bibliographical sections but does not use it in his main text, so the source of his reference remains uncertain. Shen yi jing 神異經, “Classic of deities and Extraordinary Things” [8] Collection of tales of the strange (zhi guai xiao shuo 志怪小説). FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Traditionally attributed to the Han 漢 scholar → Dongfang Shuo 東方朔, annotations attributed to → Zhang Hua 張華 of Jin 晉, but the text is probably a counterfeit work of the Six Dynasties period, and the attribution of annotations is also false. 1 juan, 47 chapters. The book imitates the → Shan hai jing 山海經 in style, describing supernatural beings and extraordinary things in connection with geographical locations. Only part of the text is still extant, and one fragment is quoted in the → ZLBC. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text, following the traditional attribution to Dongfang Shuo. His material,
403 however, is not taken from the ZLBC, but from the incomplete surviving version of the text. Shen yi pu jiu fang 神醫普救方, “recipes of divine Physicians for universal relief ” [2] Lost Northern Song 宋 medical recipe book. FE Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝文 略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises.” Written by Jia Huangzhong 賈黃中. DC 981-986. 1000 juan, table of contents 10 juan. The book was a compendium of recipes from the period of early Northern Song and before. The → TJBC cites a single fragment, which is taken over by LSZ in his main text. He lists the book in his bibliographical sections but also refers to a → Pu jiu fang 普 救方 there, thus giving the book a double entry. The author Jia Huangzhong (941-996) was a Northern Song high official. Style name Wamin 媧民 in Lun zhou 淪州, now part of He bei 河北. He passed the jin shi examinations at the age of 15 and eventually rose to the post of Vice Minister of Rites (li bu shi lang 禮部侍郎).

The text is divided into 41 chapters detailing immortals’ methods for taking alchemical pills, their diet, methods of storing food, fermentation, and pest control, etc. LSZ cites the book as Shen yin shu [8] and as Shen yin [4]. Shen ying 沈瑩 (died 280) [2] High official of Wu 吳 during the Three Kingdoms period. He was governor (tai shou 太守) of Dan yang 丹陽 and author of the Lin hai shui tu yi wu zhi 臨海水 土異物志, “Records of Extraordinary Things from the Waters and Lands of Lin hai,” (→ Lin hai yi wu zhi 臨海異物志). Shen yizhai 申一齋 [1] Ming 明 dynasty person. A man of Dong chang 東昌, now Liao cheng 聊城 in Shan dong 山東. Details about his life are unavailable. The late Ming 明 → Zhu zheng bian yi 諸證辨疑 lists his recipe to cure “obstruction- and impediment-illness” (yong ju 癰疽), and LSZ takes this over in SE gan jiang 乾薑. Shen yu 神禹 → Da Yu 大禹 Shen yue 沈約 (441-513) [2] Liang 梁 dynasty literatus. Style name Xiuwen 休文, a man of Wu kang 武康 in Wu xing 吳興, in the west of present-day De qing 德清 in Zhe jiang 浙江. Shen served the Liu Song 劉宋 and Qi 齊 dynasties before he assisted → Liang Wu di 梁武帝 in gaining power. He held various posts after that, rising to be Director of the Imperial Secretariat (shang shu ling 尚書令). Together with Zhou Yong 周顒, Shen developed a set of new rules for poetry, the “four tones and eight defects” (si sheng ba bing 四聲八病), which had great influence on the transfor-
404 mation of ancient-style poetry (gu ti shi 古體詩) to regulated verse (lü shi 律詩). He also produced a → Song shu 宋書 based upon the works of earlier historians. Shen Zhou 沈周 (1427-1509) [1] Ming 明 dynasty painter. Style name Qi’nan 啟南, literary name Shitian 石田, “Stony Field.” A man of Chang zhou 長洲, now Su zhou 蘇州 in Jiang su 江蘇. Not interested in testing for a jin shi degree, he became an expert in poetry and painting. The Ming shi 明史, “History of the Ming,” has his biography. A posthumous collection of his work, the Shitian za ji 石田雜記, “Miscellaneous Records of [Shen] Shitian,” (→ Za ji 雜記) is cited by LSZ in SE gou 狗. Shen zong 神宗 (1048-1085) [1] This is Zhao Ye 趙頁, emperor of the Song 宋, r. 1067-1085. In SE huang tu 黃 土, LSZ relates the story of his son, the → Yi guo gong 儀國公, being cured of clonic convulsions (chi zong 瘛疭) by → Qian Yi 錢乙. Sheng Chong 盛冲 → Sheng Yan 盛彥 Sheng fang zong lu 聖方總錄, “General record of Sagely recipes” [1] Erroneous name for a medical recipe collection. The recipe cited in the main text is actually from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, which refers to the → Zhi nan fang 指 南方 as its source. Sheng Hongzhi 盛弘之 [5] Man of the Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty.

DC published 1118. 10 juan, 42 chapters. The book was intended as a textbook for medical education, focusing on topics like the connection of humans with heaven, the doctrine of the “five periods and six qi” (wu yun liu qi 五運六氣), physiology, life cultivation, and pharmacological principles. LSZ quotes the text as Sheng ji jing [4] and, in SE ren gui 人傀, as Sheng ji 聖濟, “Sagely Benefaction,” [3].

Compiled at imperial order by officials of the medical bureau (sheng ji dian 聖濟殿), thus the title. The book is divided into 66 chapters arranged by disease, each chapter containing a discussion and recipes, approximately 20.000 recipes in all. The book was not disseminated during Southern Song times but was reprinted during the Yuan 元 dynasty. LSZ used the work extensively, quoting the text as Sheng ji zong lu [243], as Sheng ji lu 聖濟錄, “Records of Sagely Benefaction,” [141], as Zong lu 總錄, “General Records,” [60], as Sheng ji fang 聖濟方, “Recipes of Sagely Benefaction,” [8], and as Zong lu fang 總錄方, “Recipe from the General Records,” [1]. Note that three references to a Sheng ji 聖濟, “Sagely Benefaction,” in SE ren gui 人傀 are to the → Sheng ji jing 聖濟經 while the remaining Sheng ji [10] references are to the Sheng ji zong lu. In addition, the Jin ling 金陵 edition of the BCGM refers to a → Sheng fang zong lu 聖方總錄, which some regard as the Sheng ji zong lu. However, the recipe cited is actually from the → Pu ji fang 普濟 方, which refers to the → Zhi nan fang 指南方 as its source.

FE Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises.” DC Northern Song 宋 or earlier. 1 juan. The original book is lost, but many recipes are preserved in the → ZLBC. LSZ cites the work second hand, referring to it as Sheng jin fang [34] and as Sheng jin 勝金, “Worth More than Gold,” [6]. Sheng lan 勝覽, “Overall Survey” [1] Title of a book. LSZ cites a fragment from a Sheng lan in SE lin she 鱗蛇 and apparently regards the → Fang yu sheng lan 方輿勝覽 as his source. However, neither the Fang yu sheng lan nor the → Xing cha sheng lan 星槎勝覽 include the information he is citing. The → Da Ming yi tong zhi 大明一統志, in comparison, which LSZ refers to as well, contains very similar material, so LSZ may have been in error about a Sheng lan as his source. Sheng lian dan yao mi jue 昇煉丹藥秘訣, “Secret Instructions for the Sublimation of Cinnabar Medicinals” Daoist alchemical text. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Hu Yan 胡演.

LSZ cites the book as Sheng lian dan yao mi jue [1], as Dan yao mi jue 丹藥秘訣, “Secret Instructions for Cinnabar Medicinals,” [3], and as the Sheng lian fang 昇煉方, “Recipes of Sublimation.” [1]. He also uses the name of the author, Hu Yan [6], in connection with the title or alone to stand for the book.
406 Sheng lian fang 昇煉方 → Sheng lian dan yao mi jue 昇煉丹藥秘訣 Sheng sheng bian 生生編, “Compilation for Engendering Life” Anonymous medical recipe book. See bibliography of the BCGM. Further details are unavailable. The book is not listed in any other bibliography nor is it cited anywhere else. LSZ seems to be the only one to have quoted extensively from the text, referring to it as Sheng sheng bian [41] and as Sheng sheng fang 生生方, “Recipes for Engendering Life,” [2]. Sheng sheng fang 生生方 → Sheng sheng bian 生生編 Sheng xiao lun 生肖論, “discourses on Birth Signs” [1] Treatises on the twelve animals symbolizing the year a person was born in. The → Caomu zi 草木子 states: “The experts of this technique associated twelve animals with the twelve Earthly Branches. Each of the animals has an incomplete physical appearance. For example, […] the dragon has no ears.” Other texts say that “the twelve animals are incomplete things,” and that among them “the dragon is deficient in hearing.” And finally, the Yi lin 易林 , “Forest of Changes,” of Jiao Gan 焦贛 states: “Ox and dragon are deaf.” LSZ’s Sheng xiao lun citation in SE long 龍 appears to be a general reference to these statements. Sheng Xuanzi 昇玄子 [3] Song 宋 or pre-Song person, sometimes written Sheng Xuanzi 升玄子. Details about his life are unavailable. Author of the Zao hua fu gong tu 造化伏汞圖, “Illustrations of How to Create Subdued Mercury,” (→ Fu gong tu 伏汞圖) listed in the Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises,” and cited in the → Xixi cong hua 西溪叢話.

The → Jin shu 晋書 records a story about his mother, who suffered from blindness but was cured by ingesting grubs. The → Jing yan fang 經驗方 of → Chen Rihua 陳日華 reproduces the story, and so did many books after that, some erroneously rendering his name Sheng Chong 盛冲 [1]. LSZ takes over this mistake when citing the story second hand in SE qi cao 蠐螬. Shengzhi 省之 → Wang Ji 汪機 Shenji dashi 神濟大師, “Great Master of divine assistance” [1] Song 宋 dynasty Buddhist monk.

The book details family names, genealogies, settlements, and activities of lords and officials, claiming that it covers a period starting from the time of the Yellow Thearch (→ Huang di 黃帝 ) down to the author’s time. The book was already lost in Song 宋 times, but LSZ cites it second hand. The source of his citations is uncertain.

To begin with, it lists 64 commonly used pharmaceutical substances, which are followed by more than 2000 recipes organized by disease. The book was rare even in ancient times, and today only a fragmentary edition survives. It was quoted extensively by the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, from which LSZ took his material. Without referring to the author anywhere, he quotes the book as Shi bian liang fang [33], as Shi bian 十便, “Very Convenient,” and as Shi bian fang 十便方, “Very Convenient Recipes,” [1]. The author Guo Tan was a Southern Song 宋 physician. Style name Lüdao 履 道, a man of Fen yang 汾陽 in present-day Shan xi 山西. He was disabled by disease for twenty years and apparently tried out many medicinals on himself, investigating the effects of recipes on various pathological conditions. Shi Cangyong 石藏用 Northern Song 宋 physician. His given name (AV his style name) was Yongzhi 用之, a man of Shu 蜀, now Si chuan 四川. During the late Northern Song, he peddled his medical skills in the capital and became very famous. Shi preferred to use drugs with a hot thermo-quality and was known for his accurate diagnostic skills. Song authors of brush note literature (bi ji 筆記) frequently mention him. According to the → Yi shuo 醫説, he once cured a patient of an unusual disase called “hidden dragon” (long fu cang 龍伏藏). LSZ refers to him as Shi Cangyong [1] and Cangyong 藏用 [2] in SE jiang lang 蜣螂.

409 Shi jian 食鑒 → Shi jian ben cao 食鑒本草 Shi jian 詩箋, “annotations to the Book of Songs” [1] Han 漢 dynasty commentary on the → Shi jing 詩經. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋 書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” AN Mao shi jian 毛詩箋, “Annotations to the Mao Book of Songs.” Written by → Zheng Xuan 鄭玄. 20 juan. For his commentary, Zheng used the → Mao shi 毛詩 as his basis and combined it with the three new text (jin wen 今文) versions of the Shi jing. Shi jian ben cao 食鑒本草, “Materia Medica of the Food Mirror” Book on dietary therapy. FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” Written by → Ning Yuan 寧源. DC jia jing 嘉靖 reign period (1522-1566). 2 juan. The text provides a brief survey of more than 100 consumable items and their effects, referring to discourses and recipes of previous writers and adding explanations in between. LSZ did not think highly of the originality of the work but still cited it frequently. He refers to the text as Shi jian ben cao [9], as Shi jian 食鑒, “Food Mirror,” [18], and by various, not always correct forms of the author’s name, i.e., Ning Yuan 寧原 [30], Ning Yuan 寧源 [12], Yuan 原 [9], and Yuan 源 [4]. Shi jing 詩經, “Book of Songs” Confucian classic, China’s first anthology on poems and songs. DC Spring and Autumn period. 305 chapters, divided into three parts called Feng 風, “Airs,”, Ya 雅, “Odes,” and Song 頌, “Hymns.” Abundant in its contents, the Shi jing reflects the life of the early Zhou 周 dynasty down to the Spring and Autumn period, touching upon ancient knowledge about wildlife, plants, and medicinals. During Han 漢 times, there were four versions of the Shi jing, the Lu 魯, Qi 齊, Han 韓 (→ Han shi 韓詩, → Han shi wai zhuan 韓詩外傳), and Mao 毛 (→ Mao shi 毛詩) versions. The former three were written in the modern chancery script style (li shu 隸書) and were therefore considered new texts (jin wen 今文). After the Wei 魏 and Jin 晉 dynasties they were gradually disregarded and are now lost, while the Mao shi, an important text for the old text (gu wen 古文) literary movement, still survives. When LSZ refers to the text as Shi jing [11], Shi 詩, “Songs,” [84] or Mao shi [8], then this is always to the old text tradition. One of the texts he apparently used as a source was the Mao shi zheng yi 毛詩正義, “Correct Meanings of the Mao Book of Songs,” (→ Shi shu 詩疏 ) of → Kong Yingda 孔穎達. He also cites specific parts of the Shi jing and individual poems, i.e., the Shi Yong feng 詩鄘風, “Airs of Yong from the Shi jing,” [1], the Shi xiao ya 詩小雅, “Lesser Odes from the Shi jing,” [5], the Xiao ya 小雅, “Lesser Odes,” [1], the Shi gu feng 詩谷風, “[Ode on the Decade of ] Valley Wind from the Shi jing,” [1], the Shi Tang feng 詩唐風, “Airs of Tang from the Shi jing,” [3], the Qin feng 秦風, “Airs of Qin,” [1], the Zhou song 周頌, “Hymns of Zhou,” [1], the Dang shi 蕩詩, “Songs on [the Decade of ] Dang,” [1], the Bin shi 豳詩, “Songs of Bin,” [1] or Bin feng 豳風, “Airs of Bin,” [4], the Zhou nan shi 周南詩, “Songs of Southern Zhou,” [2] or Zhou nan 周南, “Southern Zhou,” [2], the Zheng feng shi 鄭風詩, “Airs and Songs of Zheng,” [1] or Zheng shi 鄭詩, “Songs of Zheng,” [1], and the Wei shi 魏詩, “Songs of Wei,” [1]. Note that the term → Tang shi 唐詩 designates
410 poetry from the Tang dynasty and the title → Shi yi wen 詩義問 refers to a 3rd century commentary on the Mao shi and not the original text. Shi jing 食經, “Food Classic” Treatise on food. Quotations in the main text are taken from the first text only.

Fragments are quoted in the → Qi min yao shu 齊民要術. LSZ mentions the Shi jing of Cui Hao in the → Shi xing ben cao 食性本草 entry in his bibliographical sections and cites material from it second hand from the Qi min yao shu in the main text. He does not, however, label his quotations with Cui’s name explicitly.

Style name Zaizhi 載之, a man of Mei zhou 眉州, now Mei xian 眉縣 in Si chuan 四川. He was renowned for his Confucian scholarship but was also well-versed in medicine. Author of the → Zhi nan fang 指南方 and the Shi Zaizhi fang 史載之方, “Recipes of Shi Zaizhi.” LSZ cites the former work, possibly second hand from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方. LSZ refers to him as Shi Kan [1] and Shi Zaizhi 史載之 [1]. Shi Kangzu 時康祖 [1] Southern Song 宋 official. Served in Guang de 廣德 and Zhen jiang 鎮江. According to the → Yijian zhi 夷堅志 as quoted in the → Yi shuo 醫説, he had suffered from “heart leakage” (xin lou 心漏) for 20 years when in 1177 he at last followed an advice by → Han Ziwen 韓子溫 to make use of a recipe listed in the → Tai ping sheng hui fang 太平聖惠方 and was cured. LSZ cites this in SE fu zi 附子.
411 Shi Kuang 師曠 [9] Musician from the state of Jin 晉 during the Spring and Autumn period. Style name Ziye 子野. Blind from birth, he was considered an expert at playing the qin 琴 and differentiating sounds. He is attributed the → Qin jing 禽經, which was probably forged on the basis of material in the Northern Song → Zi shuo 字 説. LSZ, however, believes the traditional attribution, referring to Shi Kuang in connection with material from the Qin jing. Shi lei fu 事類賦, “rhapsodies on Categorized Matters” [2] Northern Song 宋 encyclopedia. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by → Wu Shu 吳淑. 30 juan, 14 parts (bu 部). Each part covers one topic such as food and beverages, birds, quadrupeds, herbs, trees, fruit, scaly animals, or worms/bugs. These are divided into 100 subsections, each section covering one object and working the material into a fu 賦 poem. These fu include figures of speech and literary allusions relevant to the subject treated, adding annotations with careful explanations and references to the sources the author used. The author participated in the compilation of a number of official encyclopedias during early Song times, thus his Shi lei fu is particularly rich in content. Even though LSZ only refers directly to the work once in his bibliographical sections and once in the main text, he may also have used the work as a source for second hand quotations from lost books. Shi lei he bi 事類合璧 → Gu jin shi lei he bi 古今事類合璧 Shi liao 食療 → Shi liao ben cao 食療本草 Shi liao ben cao 食療本草, “Materia Medica of dietary Therapy” Materia dietetica. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Meng Shen 孟詵, supplemented by → Zhang Ding 張鼎. DC c. 713-739. 3 juan, 227 entries (including Zhang Ding’s additions). Meng’s original book was entitled Bu yang fang 補養 方, “Recipes for Supplementation and Nourishment.” The Shi liao ben cao is partially preserved in a large fragment found in Dun huang 敦煌, from which the basic structure of the book can be determined. The additions by Zhang Ding are clearly indicated in the surviving text. The book records various foodstuffs with dual use as food and medicine, discussing qualities, effects, prohibitions, and associated recipes. It also describes their appearance, production areas, and processing methods. The book was frequently quoted by Tang 唐 and Song 宋 medical books, especially by the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草 and the → ZLBC, which labels its quotations Shi liao yun 食療云, “The [Materia Medica of ] Dietary Therapy says,” and material on newly added substances → Shi liao yu 食療 餘. The Japanese Ishimpō 醫心方, “Medical Core Recipes,” also preserves many fragments. The BCGM quotes material of different origins second hand from the ZLBC, quoting the work as Shi liao ben cao [48], as Shi liao 食療, “Dietary Therapy,” [99], as Shi liao fang 食療方, “Recipes for Dietary Therapy,” [1], and as Meng Shen ben cao 孟詵本草, “Materia Medica of Meng Shen,” [4]. More often, however, LSZ
412 labels material from the book with the author’s name alone, referring to Meng as Meng Shen [337], Shen 詵 [229], Meng shi 孟氏, “Mr. Meng” [4]. Zhang Ding’s additions are referred to as Zhang Ding [18] or Ding 鼎 [11], and there is one mention of the Shi liao yu [1]. Shi liao fang 食療方 → Shi liao ben cao 食療本草 Shi liao yu 食療餘, “additional Material on dietary Therapy” [1] Designation for a certain type of material from the → Shi liao ben cao 食療本 草. The → ZLBC refers to newly added foodstuffs by this designation, meaning material not found in previous ben cao literature. The convention was taken over by the BCGM. Shi lin guang ji 事林廣記, “Extensive records from the Forest of Matters” Southern Song 宋 encyclopedia. Written by → Chen Yuanliang 陳元靚. DC late Southern Song. 10 juan (AV 12 juan, 42 juan). Content is of a largely popular nature focusing on contemporary daily life and everyday objects. Much of what LSZ quotes from the work has to do with bleeding, toxins, and common diseases. He refers to the text as Shi lin guang ji [23] and Guang ji 廣記, “Extensive Records,” [8]. Shi liu guo chun qiu 十六國春秋, “Spring and autumn annals of the Sixteen Kingdoms” Northern Wei 魏 historical text. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by Cui Hong 崔鴻. DC 6th century. 100 juan. The book records the history of the sixteen states that existed in the North during the Eastern Jin 晉 dynasty (317-419). Each state is given its own section called “annals” (lu 錄), e.g., Qian Liang lu 前 涼錄, “Annals of Former Liang.” The original text was lost by Northern Song 宋 times, but fragments were preserved in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and were re-edited as a separate book in the Ming 明 era. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections. He does, however, cite a Shi liu guo shi 十六國史, “History of the Sixteen Kingdoms,” [1] when giving the alternative name ji xiao 鷄鴞 for xiao 鴞, owl, in his main text. In the same entry he cites this alternative name from the Qian Liang lu [1], hence Shi liu guo shi must be an erroneous name for the Shi liu guo chun qiu. The Qian Liang lu passage is quoted second hand from the Tai ping yu lan, but the original name of the owl, written chi xiao 鴟鴞, was changed to ji xiao 鷄鴞 by LSZ in SE xiao 鴞. Shi liu guo shi 十六國史 → Shi liu guo chun qiu 十六國春秋 Shi Liu qiu lu 使琉球錄, “record of an Embassy to the ryukyu Kingdom” [1] Ming 明 dynasty book. FE Si ku quan shu zong mu 四庫全書總目, “General Bibliography to the Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” but LSZ already mentions the title in SE jiu 酒. In 1532, Chen Kan 陳侃, Gao Cheng 高澄, and others received orders to travel to the Ryukyu 琉球 kingdom to confirm the King of Ryukyu, Sho Sei 尚清, as Zhong shan wang 中山王, “King of Chuzan.” Chen Kan recorded the events of this journey in 1534 to produce a Shi Liu qiu lu in 1 juan. In 1558, Guo Shilin 郭世霖 was ordered to travel to the is-
413 lands to confer the title Zhong shan wang to the new king Sho Gen 尚元. Based on the earlier account of Chen Kan, Guo compiled a Shi Liu qiu lu in 2 juan. Finally, in 1579, Xiao Chongye 蕭崇業 and Xie Jie 謝杰 were sent to the kingdom to confirm Sho Ei 尚永 as the King of Chuzan. Thus, by the time of publication of the BCGM, there were three books titled Shi Liu qiu lu. Chen Kan’s book was later incorporated into the Ji lu hui bian 紀錄彙編, “Compilation of Records,” of Shen Jiefu 沈節甫 in an abridged version, and all later facsimile editions are based on this text. Guo Shilin’s book did not survive as a separate volume, but Xiao Chongye’s book, still extant, includes the works of both Chen and Guo. Xiao supplemented his predecessors’ texts with a variety of his own materials and was very clear about indicating his sources. The material LSZ cites can be found in juan 1 of Xiao’s book and goes back to a Cao zhou ji 操舟記, “Record of Steering a Boat,” of Gao Cheng. Shi Min 石旻 Tang 唐 period itinerant specialist of occult arts, died approx. hui chang 會昌 reign period (841-846). Nicknamed Shi Min shanren 石旻山人, “Hermit Shi Min.” The → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎 relates Shi Min’s magical abilities, and the → Chuan xin fang 傳信方 cites one of his recipes. LSZ takes this over in SE mang xiao 芒消 but erroneously calls him Wang Min shanren 王旻山人, “Hermit Wang Min,” [1]. Shi ming 釋名, “Explanation of Names” [26] Eastern Han 漢 lexicographical text. Written by → Liu Xi 劉熙. 27 chapters divided into 8 juan. The book imitates the → Er ya 爾雅 but, heavily influenced by the concept of “rectifying names” (zheng ming 正名), it exclusively uses a phonological classification system (yin xun 音訓) in order to explain the meanings of characters and the origins of the names of things. It is therefore of great value for the study of ancient pronunciation, semantics, and etymology. Shi mu 釋木 → Er ya 爾雅 Shi pu 食譜, “Treatise on Food” [1] Pre-Tang 唐 book. Quoted in the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 without indication of an author. Further details unavailable.

FE Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝文 略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises.” Written by the official Liu Fu 劉甫 (fl. c. 11th century, further details unavailable). 1 juan. Fragments are quoted by the → ZLBC. LSZ cites the work second hand in his bibliographical sections and the main text without naming an author. He refers to the text as Shi quan bo jiu fang [7] and incorrectly as Shi quan bo ji 十全博濟, “Perfect [Recipes] for Extensive Benefit.” There are also references to a → Shi quan fang 十全方 and a → Xu shi quan fang 續十全方, but whether these stand in any connection to the Shi quan bo jiu fang is uncertain.
414 Shi quan fang 十全方, “Perfect Recipes” Lost medical recipe book. EE → ZLBC. DC and authorship uncertain. The title may be an abbreviation for the Northern Song 宋 → Shi quan bo jiu fang 十 全博救方 of Liu Fu 劉甫. Some recipes are preserved in the ZLBC, and LSZ cites these second hand as Shi quan fang [2] in his main text, without mentioning a text of that name in his bibliographical sections. In SE gao liang jiang 高 良薑 he mixes up titles and incorrectly refers a recipe from the Shi quan fang to the Qian jin fang 千金方, “Recipes Worth a Thousand in Gold,” (→ Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急方). Shi quan gong 石泉公 → Wang Fangqing 王方慶 Shi shao qing 施少卿, “Shi the Minor Official” [1] Southern Song 宋 local official in Qi zhou 蘄州, now Qi chun 蘄春 in Hu bei 湖北. He was in possession of a recipe to treat difficult births that was passed on to him by → Xu tai cheng 徐太丞. LSZ cites this in SE xun lu xiang 薰陸香. Shi shi 釋氏, “Buddhist People” General designation for Buddhist monks. Shi 釋 is an abbreviation of Shijiamuni 釋迦牟尼, the Sanskrit Shakyamuni. It is used in designations related to Buddhism such as Shi shi 釋氏 [2] and Shi zi 釋子, “Buddhist Masters,” [2], Shi dian 釋典 for Buddhist canons, etc. From Eastern Jin 晉 times on, Han-Chinese monks and nuns sometimes adopted Shi as their surname. Shi shou 釋獸 → Er ya 爾雅 Shi shu 詩疏, “Commentary to the Shi jing” Annotated editions of the → Shi jing 詩經. If not labeled with the name of an author [28], it remains uncertain which commentary LSZ is referring to.

DC Tang 唐. 40 juan. The book expounds on the → Mao shi 毛詩 and the corresponding annotations by Zheng Xuan, assembling studies on the Shi jing from the Wei 魏, Jin 晉, and Northern and Southern dynasties. It was later integrated into the collection Shi san jing zhu shu 十三經注 疏, “Annotations and Commentaries to the Thirteen Classics.” LSZ does not list the Mao shi zheng yi itself but uses the general term → Shi jing zhu shu 詩經注 疏 in his bibliographical sections to refer to annotated editions of the Shi jing by Kong Yingda and Mao Chang. In the main text, material labeled Shi shu by Kong Yingda is taken from this book.

The text records Han 漢 to Jin 晉 speeches and anecdotes, reflecting the eccentric behavior and “pure conversations” (qing tan 清談) of the elite of the time. The book’s material was based on other books or oral tradition and is rich in content, with vivid stories and concise language. Later brush note literature (bi ji 筆記) frequently used this work as a model. Shi Tang feng 詩唐風 → Shi jing 詩經 Shi Tuo 史脫 [1] Famous Jin 晉 dynasty physician. He held a medical office at court and was renowned for his diagnostic skills and methods for treating jaundice. LSZ takes over his name from another source.

The text imitates earlier works such as the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚 and the → Chu xue ji 初學記 in its organization and records historical facts and literature. The work was supplemented during the Yuan 元 period to produce two more collections in addition to the original volumes. LSZ lists the text in his bibliographical sections but does not refer to it directly in his main text. He does, however, seem to have extensively used it as a source for many lost books.

Lu He selected information on foodstuffs from materia medica literature, and Wang edited that material, dividing the text into eight categories, i.e., waters, grains, vegetables, fruits, birds, quadrupeds, fishes, and spices. LSZ cites the book as Shi wu ben cao [9], as Shi wu 食物, “Foodstuffs,” [45], or by the name of its author, as Wang Ying [60], Ying 穎 [45], or in SE bai xian 白鷳 as Wang shi 汪氏, “Mr. Wang,” [1].

The book collected material from old books on subjects such as celestial patterns (tian wen 天文), calendric science, decrees and regulations, institutions, customs and even plant and animal life. Its contents are extensive and the work is very reliable in its use of source material. LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections, attributing it to Gao shi 高氏, “Mr. Gao,” but does not cite it directly in the main text.

He then supplemented it with information on food properties, interactions, identification, preparation methods, therapeutic recipes, and health-promoting applications of dietary recipes according to the seasons. The original text is lost, but many fragments are preserved in the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草.

Han took the → Tang ben cao 唐本草 (also called Ying gong ben cao 英公本草, “Materia Medica of the Duke of Ying”) and the illustrated writings (tu jing 圖經) contained in it, collated and corrected them, and added his own notes. The author compiled the work in Later Shu 蜀 during the Five Dynasties period, thus the title. The original text is lost, but extensive fragments are quoted in the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草, which refers seven pharmaceutical substances not mentioned in the Tang ben cao or anywhere else to the Shu ben cao. The → Kai bao ben cao 開 寶本草 quotes a → Bie ben 別本 or Bie ben zhu 別本注, “Annotations from the Separate Volume,”, which are probably references to the Shu ben cao or newly added material from it. Fragments labeled → Tang ben yu 唐本餘 in the → ZLBC are also taken from this book. LSZ found the illustrations and explanations to be very detailed compared to the works of → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 and Su Jing 蘇敬 (→ Su Gong 蘇恭), but his perception that there was a separate book by Han Baosheng called → Tu jing 圖經 is a misunderstanding (see → Shu ben tu jing 蜀本圖經).

Shu ben tu jing 蜀本圖經, “Illustrated Classic in the Shu ben [cao]” This is a designation for new material in the → Shu ben cao 蜀本草 of → Han Baosheng 韓保昇, added by the author to the illustrated writings (tu jing 圖 經) section of the → Tang ben cao 唐本草. LSZ erroneously regarded this as an entire separate section written by Han called Tu jing 圖經, “Illustrated Classic.” The term goes back to the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草, which labels the same material Shu ben tu jing, and the BCGM follows this, referring the relevant passages to a Shu ben tu jing [3], a Shu tu 蜀圖, “Illustrations from Shu,” [1], Shu tu jing 蜀圖經, “Illustrated Classic of Shu,” [6], or, within the Shu ben cao entry in his bibliography, Tu jing [1]. Shu di zhi 蜀地志, “Local Gazetteer of Shu” [2] Lost, anonymous book. EE → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. DC pre-Song 宋. The work mostly describes local conditions and customs in the area of Shu 蜀 in present-day Si chuan 四川. Part of it is also devoted to apes and monkeys found

Some 437 earlier texts were used as sources, and the book details more than a thousand water courses and their surrounding geographical features, including mountains, marshes, cities, and transportation networks. There is also much information on the historical evolution, events, and people of these areas. LSZ cites the book as Li Daoyuan zhu Shui jing 酈道元注水經, “The Shui jing, Annotated by Li Daoyuan,”

Today there is a 100 juan edition based on the Ming manuscript copies, and an expanded Qing 清 dynasty version in 120 juan, which unfortunately contains many errors. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it directly in the main text.

It is based on the → Shuo wen jie zi 説文 解字 but also has some new views to offer. Of the 540 parts in the Shuo wen jie zi, Zhou Boqi deleted 17 and added 17 of his own, rearranging the original order and changing the characters in some parts. The Liu shu zheng e sticks to the Shuo wen jie zi more closely but also holds some detailed new analysis. LSZ lists both works in his bibliographical sections but does not cite them in the main text. The author Zhou Boqi lived during the late Yuan and early Ming 明 dynasties. Style name Bowen 伯溫, a man of Po yang 鄱陽 in Rao zhou 饒州, now part of Jiang xi 江西. He initially served the Yuan in various central government capacities but later went over to the Ming. He was known for his calligraphy and his knowledge of the classics. Shuo yuan 説苑, “Garden of Stories” [2] Western Han 漢 book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Liu Xiang 劉向. Originally 20 juan, of which all but five were lost. The book was restored from scattered fragments to its original length by Geng Sou 鞏搜 during the Song 宋 dynasty. The book contained historical anecdotes from pre-Qin 秦 to Han times with some discussions in between. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text.
429 Shuqian 叔潛 → Zhang Shuqian 張叔潛 Si chuan zhi 四川志, “Si chuan Gazetteer” [1] Local chronicle of uncertain identity. LSZ does not list the text in his bibliographical sections but cites it in SE jie du zi 解毒子. Extant local gazetteers of Si chuan that preceded the appearance of the BCGM include a Si chuan zhi published in 1518 by Xiong Xiang 熊相, the Si chuan tong zhi 四川統志, “Comprehensive Gazetteer of Si chuan,” (1545) of Wang Yuan 王元, and the Si chuan zong zhi 四川總志, “General Gazetteer of Si chuan” (1581) of Guo Fei 郭棐. It is impossible, however, to ascertain which of these chronicles LSZ may have relied on. The material he cites on jie du zi from Zhong zhou 忠州 agrees with contents found in the → Da ming yi tong zhi 大明一統志 and the → Tai ping huan yu ji 太平寰宇記. Si cun Wang shi 思村王氏, “Mr. Wang from Si cun” [1] Southern Song person. According to the → Suo sui lu 瑣碎錄, his son suffered from “shrinkage and retention of the [external] kidneys” (shen suo ru 腎縮入) but was cured by external application of heating medicinals. The story is preserved in the → Yi shuo 醫説, and LSZ takes it over in SE mang cao 莽草. Si hao 四皓, “The Four Old Men” [3] These are four hermits who lived during the time of transition from Qin 秦 to Han 漢: Dongyuan gong 東園公, Luli xiansheng 甪裡先生 (also written Jiaoli xiansheng 角裡先生), Qi Liji 綺裡季, and Xiahuang gong 夏黃公. They were from He nei zhi 河內軹 (now Ji yuan 濟源 in Hen nan 河南) and all reached an age of more than 80 years. They lived in seclusion at Shang shan 商山 (in the southeast of present-day Shang luo 商洛 in Shaan xi 陝西) and were thus called the Shang shan si hao 商山四皓,“The Four Old Men of Mount Shang.” According to legend, the four old men once wrote a song that contained a line about the ability of purple zhi (zi zhi 紫芝) to cure hunger. Hence LSZ refers to them in connection with the ingestion of zhi 芝 to prolong life. Si min yue ling 四民月令, “Monthly Ordinances for the Four [Groups of ] People” Eastern Han 漢 text. FE Jiu Tang shu jing ji zhi 舊唐書經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the Old History of the Tang.” Written by → Cui Shi 崔寔. 1 juan. This treatise imitates the Li ji yue ling 禮記月令, “Monthly Ordinances from the Li ji,” (→ Yue ling 月令 ) in style. It describes goods produced and traded in Luo yang 洛陽 (which here represents the areas in the central plains of China) and the lives of the four groups of people: scholars, farmers, craftsmen, and merchants. The focus is on agricultural topics like cultivation methods, silkworm breeding, and the raising of livestock, but the work also includes some information on medicinals. The original book is lost, but fragments are preserved in the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other books. LSZ incorrectly cites the book as Si shi yue ling 四時月令, “Monthly Ordinances of the Four Seasons,” [2] in his bibliographical sections but refers to it correctly as Si min yue ling [3] and Cui Shi yue ling 崔寔月令, “Monthly Ordinances of Cui Shi,” [5] in the main text.

DC 8th century. 5 juan. Monographs were listed according to the tone (ping 平, shang 上, qu 去, or ru 入) of the first character of the respective medicinal’s name, which made the work an easy-to-use manual. Each monograph included alternative names, as well as information on qualities, effects, storage, etc. 64 fragments are quoted in the Jia you ben cao, and LSZ cites the work second hand as Si sheng ben cao [6], Si sheng 四聲, “Four Tones,” [13], or by the name of the author as Xiao Bing [39] or Bing 炳 [20].

Fragments are quoted in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御 覽, the → Ce fu yuan gui 冊府元龜, and other works. The → ZLBC lists the work in its bibliography but does not actually cite it. Likewise, LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections but not in his main text. Si xuan shi 司烜氏, “Gentleman in Charge of the Light of the Sun” [2] Official post mentioned in the Tian guan 天官, “Celestial Offices,” section of the → Zhou li 周禮. Responsible for using a brass mirror to collect solar heat to ignite dry grass, hereby obtaining a “pure fire” from the sun, or using mirrors to collect dew under the moonlight, hereby obtaining “pure water,” both for ritual purposes.

Both the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草 and the → TJBC quote his comments on shi tuo 豕槖 in the → Zhuang zi 莊子 , and LSZ takes this over in SE zhu ling 豬苓. Sima Guang 司馬光 (1019-1086) [2] Northern Song 宋 high official and historiographer. Style name Junshi 君實, a man of Su shui 涑水 village in Xia xian 夏縣 in Shan zhou 陝州, now part of
431 Shan xi 山西. Also called Sushui xiansheng 涑水先生, “Gentleman of Su River,” jin shi 1038. He held court offices under the emperors Ren zong 仁宗 (→ Song Ren zong 宋仁宗) and Ying zong 英宗 and was one of the leaders of the conservative faction at court, an opponent of → Wang Anshi 王安石. In 1084, after more than 20 years of working on it, Sima Guang completed his comprehensive history, the Zi zhi tong jian 資治通鑒, “Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Governing.” After the ascension of Emperor Zhe zong 哲宗 (→ Song Zhe zong 宋 哲宗) to the throne, he rose to high posts in the central government and was awarded the title Duke of the State of Wen (Wen guo gong 溫國公). Apart from the Zi zhi tong jian, various writings of his were posthumously collected into the Sima Wen zheng gong ji 司馬文正公集, “Collection of the Literary and Upright Lord Sima,” the Ji gu lu 稽古錄, “Records Examining the Ancient Ways,” and other books. LSZ cites his lexicographical work → Ming yuan 名苑. Sima Qian 司馬遷 (born c. 145 or 135 BCE) [2] Western Han 漢 scholar, philosopher, and historiographer. Style name Zichang 子長, a man of Xia yang 夏陽, in the south of present-day Han cheng 韓城 in Shaan xi 陝西. In his early years, he travelled around, inspecting local customs and collecting information on legends and traditions. After holding his first office at court, he succeeded his father Sima Tan 司馬談 as Grand Astrologer or Grand Scribe (tai shi ling 太史令) in 108 BCE and finished compiling the latter’s general history of China, the Tai shi gong shu 太史公書, “Book of the Grand Scribes,” later known as the → Shi ji 史記. This became the first of China’s dynastic histories and set the pattern for later works in annal-biography style (ji zhuan ti 紀傳體). Sima Xiangru 司馬相如 (c. 179-118 BCE) Western Han 漢 poet, author of ci 辭 and fu 賦 poetry. Style name Chang qing 長卿, a man of Cheng du 成都 in Shu jun 蜀郡, now part of Si chuan 四川. His fu include the → Zi xu fu 子虛賦 and its second (and later) part, the → Shang lin fu 上林賦. These are highly eulogizing descriptions of imperial parks and hunting reserves and thus contain many contemporary names of animals, plants, and minerals. Many of Sima Xiangru’s fu are contained in the → Shi ji 史記 and the → Han shu 漢書. LSZ refers to him as Sima Xiangru [5] and Xiangru 相如 [4]. Sima Xiangru fu 司馬相如賦 → Zi xu fu 子虛賦 Simiao 思邈 [143] This is → Sun Simiao 孫思邈. In the BCGM this designation is usually used in reference to quotations from the → Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急方. Song 頌 → Su Song 蘇頌 Song ben 宋本, “Song Edition” [1] AN for the → Zheng lei ben cao 證類本草. LSZ cites the alternative name fei shu 飛鼠 for fu yi 伏翼 from the Song ben. However, the ZLBC contains no reference to a fei shu. Presumably LSZ was in error about his source here.
432 Song ben cao 宋本草 → Zheng lei ben cao 證類本草 Song cheng xiang 宋丞相, “Grand Councilor Song” (917-996) [1] This is the title of Song Qi 宋琪, a Northern Song 宋 high official. Style name Shubao 叔寶, a man of Ji 薊 in You zhou 幽州, now part of Bei jing 北京. The Zhu shi ji yan fang 朱氏集驗方, “Collected Efficacious Recipes of Mr. Zhu,” (→ Ji yan fang 集驗方 ) lists a recipe to cure eye afflictions transmitted by him, and LSZ takes this over in SE xuan jing shi 玄精石. Song chuang lu 松窗錄 → Song chuang za ji 松窗雜記 Song chuang za ji 松窗雜記, “Miscellaneous records of the Pine Window” Tang 唐 dynasty book. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” AN there Song chuang za lu 松窗雜 錄, “Miscellaneous Records of the Pine Window,” also Song chuang xiao lu 松窗 小錄, “Lesser Record of the Pine Window.” Author uncertain. Song 宋 period bibliographies attribute the work to the Tang writer Wei Jun 韋濬 or Li Jun 李 濬, the → Shuo fu 説郛 attributes it to Du Xunhe 杜荀鶴. 1 juan. The book describes events taking place during the reign of the Tang emperor Ming huang 明皇 (→ Tang Xuan zong 唐玄宗, r. 712-756) in some detail. LSZ lists the book Song chuang za ji [1] in his bibliographical sections and cites it as Song chuang lu [1] in the main text. The passage in question is also found in the → Kai yuan tian bao yi shi 開元天寶遺事, thus LSZ might have not quoted from the original work. Song du zong 宋度宗 (1240-1274) [1] This is Zhao Qi 趙祺, emperor of the Southern Song 宋 dynasty, r. 1265-1274. In SE xiang pu 香蒲, LSZ cites a story about him being treated for a swollen tongue from a → Zhi Yin fang 芝隱方. Song gao ji 嵩高記, “records of Song gao” [2] Lost book. Not listed in any of the standard bibliographical sources. The Southern Song 宋 Lu shi 路史, “Stories from the Provinces,” cites a Song gao ji by Lu Yuanming 盧元明, and this is what the → Bei shi 北史 refers to as Song gao shan miao ji 嵩高山廟記, “Temple Records of Mount Song gao,” by Lu Yuanming, a Northern Wei 魏 Chamberlain of the National Treasury (da si nong 大司農). The → Tai ping huan yu ji 太平寰宇記 calls the text Song shan ji 嵩山記, “Records of Mount Song.” LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections without naming an author and cites a fragment in SE fu ling 茯苓 second hand from the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, which refers the same material to a Song gao shan ji 嵩高山記, “Records of Mount Song gao.” One fragment cited from a → Song shan ji 嵩山記 in SE ren gui 人傀 is referred to Lu Yuanming’s Song gao ji in the Lu shi, so the Song shan ji and the Song gao ji cited by LSZ are probably one and the same book. Song Gao zong 宋高宗 (1107-1187) This is Zhao Gou 趙構, emperor of the Southern Song 宋 dynasty, r. 1127-1162. LSZ mentions him as Song Gao zong [1] and as Gao zong 高宗 [7] in connection with his imperial order for the compilation of the Shao xing ben cao 紹興
433 本草, “The Shao xing Reign Period Materia Medica,” and other issues related to medicine. Note that some of these references to Gao zong might also be to → Tang Gao zong 唐高宗. Song Gao zu 宋高祖 → Liu Yu 劉裕 Song Guang zong 宋光宗 (1147-1200) [1] This is Zhao Dun 趙惇., emperor of the Southern Song 宋 dynasty, r. 1189-1194. LSZ refers to a taboo placed on the name of his empress Li 李 in SE feng xian 鳳仙. Song huang jing yan fang 松篁經驗方 → Bao shou tang jing yan fang 保壽堂經驗方 Song Hui zong 宋徽宗 (1082-1135) This is Zhao Ji 趙佶, emperor of the Northern Song 宋 dynasty, r. 1100-1125. Hui zong took a special interest in Daoism and thus called himself Jiaozhu daojun huang di 教主道君皇帝, “Emperor, Religious Patriarch and Sovereign of the Dao.” He promoted the doctrine of the “five periods and six qi” (wu yun liu qi 五 運六氣) and had the → Sheng ji jing 聖濟經 written under his name. He also ordered the compilation of the → Sheng ji zong lu 聖濟總錄 and other medical books. LSZ quotes these works as well as various anecdotes associated with Song Hui zong from contemporary brush note literature (bi ji 筆記), referring to the emperor as Song Hui zong [5] and as Hui zong 徽宗 [2]. He also cites a fragment from a → Song hui zong shi 宋徽宗詩. Song Hui zong shi 宋徽宗詩, “Poem of Emperor Hui zong of Song” Poem by → Song Hui zong 宋徽宗. LSZ cites one fragment in the main text of the BCGM. The same material is also associated with Song Hui zong in the Dan qian yu lu 丹鉛餘錄, “Extra Records of Cinnabar and Lead,” (→ Dan qian lu 丹鉛錄), so LSZ was probably citing second hand in SE shu qu cao 鼠麴草. Song Huizhi 宋會之 [1] Yuan 元 dynasty renowned physician. A man of Hang zhou 杭州. He once resorted to dried si gua 絲瓜 and ba dou 巴豆 to cure “water gu” (shui gu 水蠱). → Xianyu Shu 鮮于樞 recorded this story (→ Gou xuan 鉤玄), and LSZ takes this over in SE si gua 絲瓜. Song Lian 宋濂 (1310-1381) Late Yuan 元, early Ming 明 literatus and historiographer. Style name Jinglian 景濂, literary name Qianxi 潛溪, “Hidden Creek,” a man of Pu jiang 浦江 in Zhe jiang 浙江.

He went on to hold various literary posts and was one of the eminent literati of the early Ming. He was the author of various books and also edited the → Yuan ying ji 淵穎集 of his teacher → Wu Lai 吳萊. Song’s works are collected in the Qianxi wen ji 潛溪文集, “Literary Collection of [Song] Qianxi,” (→ Qianxi ji 潛溪集). LSZ refers to him as Song Lian [2] and Song tai shi 宋太史, “Grand Scribe Song,” [1].
434 Song Ming di 宋明帝 (439-472) [1] This is Liu Yu 劉彧, emperor of the Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty, r. 465-472. Style name Xiubing 休炳. LSZ cites a story about one of his concubines suffering from “hair conglomeration-illness” (fa jia 髮瘕) in SE hu ma 胡麻. Song mo ji wen 松漠紀聞, “records of Things Heard in the Pine and desert Lands” [3] Song 宋 dynasty collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋 史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by Hong Hao 洪皓 (→ Hong Zhongxuan 洪忠宣). DC 1st half of the 12th century. 1 juan plus a 1 juan supplement. The author was a captive of the Jin 金 realm in the north for 15 years. Upon his return he wrote down his experiences in the Song mo ji wen. The title refers to the area where Hong lived during his captivity, namely at Leng shan 冷山, which was called Song mo 松漠 during Tang 唐 times and now belongs to Inner Mongolia. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text but seems confused about the authorship, twice erroneously making → Hong Mai 洪邁, the son of Hong Hao, the author and once correctly referring the Song mo ji wen to Hong Zhongxuan, Hong Hao’s posthumous name. Song Ning zong 宋寧宗 (1168-1224) [2] This is Zhao Kuo 趙擴, emperor of Southern Song 宋, r. 1194-1224. LSZ twice relates a medical case history of the emperor being cured of “dripping” (lin 淋) by → Sun Lin 孫琳. Song Qi 宋祁 (998-1061) [11] Northern Song 宋 scholar and historiographer. Style name Zijing 子京, a man of Yong qiu 雍丘 in Kai feng 開封, now Qi xian 杞縣 in He nan 河南. As a child he lived in An lu 安陸, now part of Hu bei 湖北.

He co-authored the Xin Tang shu 新唐書, “New History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書) with → Ouyang Xiu 歐陽修 and was responsible for the biographies there. Song was also the author of the Yi bu fang wu lüe ji 益部方物略記, “Brief Records of Local Products from Yi,” (→ Jian nan fang wu zan 劍南方物 贊) and other works of his own. Song Qianxi wen ji 宋潛溪文集 → Qianxi ji 潛溪集 Song Qiqiu 宋齊丘 (10th century) [3] This is Song Song 宋嵩, a man of the Southern Tang 唐 dynasty. Literary name Qiqiu zi 齊丘子, “Master of Qi qiu,” therefore people called him Song Qiqiu. According to the Si ku quan shu zong mu ti yao 四庫全書總目提要, “Index and General Bibliography to the Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” Song composed a preface to the → Hua shu 化書 by his teacher Tan Qiao 譚峭 (→ Tan zi 譚子) but in addition falsely claimed that the book was his own work, thus the book is attributed to Song Qiqiu in early bibliographies.
435 Song ren zong 宋仁宗 (1010-1063) This is Zhao Zhen 趙禎, emperor of Northern Song 宋, r. 1022-1063. During his reign editing and printing of the existing medical corpus was begun officially.

FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by Lu Xiu 盧鵂 (fl. tian bao 天寶 reign period (742-756)). LSZ lists the text in his bibliographical sections without naming an author. He also quotes it in SE ren gui 人傀, but this fragment is cited second hand from the Southern Song 宋 Lu shi 路史, “Stories from the Provinces,” which refers the same material to the → Song gao ji 嵩高記 of Lu Yuanming 盧元明. This book was sometimes called Song shan ji in secondary sources, so it it to be assumed that LSZ mixed up the titles and that the Song shan ji and the Song gao ji he cites are actually one and the same book. Song shi 宋史, “History of the Song” [15] Standard history of the Song 宋 dynasty. Written during the Yuan 元 period by the Mongol Tuotuo 脫脫 (AN Tuoketuo 托克托, Toghto) and others. DC 1345. 496 juan.

Song tai shi 宋太史 → Song Lian 宋濂 Song tai shi ji 宋太史集, “Collection of the Grand Scribe Song” [1] Title of a book. EE BCGM. Not listed in ancient or recent bibliographical sources.

Song Lian was chief editor of the →
436 Yuan shi 元史, therefore LSZ speaks of him as Song tai shi 宋太史, “Grand Scribe Song.” Song Tai zong 宋太宗 (939-997) This is Zhao Jiong 趙炅 (AV Zhao Guangyi 趙光義), emperor of the Song 宋 dynasty, r. 976-997.

Author of the → Su E yan yi 蘇鶚演義 and the Du yang za bian 杜陽雜編, “Miscellaneous Compilation of Du yang,” (→ Du yang bian 杜陽編). Su E yan yi 蘇鶚演義, “Setting Forth Ideas of Su E” [1] Lost Tang 唐 collection of brush note stories (bi ji xiao shuo 筆記小説). FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Su E 蘇鶚. Originally 10 juan, present edition 2 juan. Although the book is actually a work of fiction, it also provides information on institutions and investigations on the names of things. Some of the material contained in it is also found in the → Gu jin zhu 古今注 and the → Zhong hua gu jin zhu 中華古今注. LSZ cites the book in his main text only. However, the passage in question cannot be found in the present edition of the Su E yan yi but only in the Gu jin zhu. However, the received version of the Gu jin zhu is considered a Tang period forgery, and the Zhong hua gu jin zhu also copied indiscriminately from the Su E yan yi, so LSZ may have easily mixed up his sources. Su Gong 蘇恭 (7th century) This is the altered name of Su Jing 蘇敬, a Tang 唐 dynasty official and medical scholar. He was one of the three Tang experts on “leg qi” (jiao qi 腳氣) whose views on this topic were cited in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方 and the Japanese Ishimpō 醫心方, “Medical Core Recipes.” During the 650s, he appealed to the court to compile a materia medica. Between 657 and 659 22 persons, including → Changsun Wuji 長孫無忌 and Su Jing, the actual chairman of the collation committee, were ordered to compile the → Tang ben cao 唐本草. When the book was revised during the Northern Song 宋 dynasty, Su’s name was changed to Su Gong because of a naming taboo. This is why LSZ often refers to the Tang Ben cao as the Su Gong ben cao 蘇恭本草, “Materia Medica of Su Gong,” or to Su as Su Gong [372], as Gong 恭 [567], or as Su shi 蘇氏, “Mr. Su” [7]. Su Gong ben cao 蘇恭本草 → Tang ben cao 唐本草
439 Su Huang 蘇黃, “[Mr.] Su and [Mr.] Huang” [2] Abbreviated names of → Su Shi 蘇軾 and → Huang Tingjian 黃庭堅. LSZ, in SE ying huo 螢火, states that Pang weng 龐翁, “Old Man Pang,” (→ Pang Anshi 龐安時) was a friend of Su and Huang’s held in high esteem. He also mentions a → Su Huang shou jian 蘇黃手簡. Su Huang shou jian 蘇黃手簡, “Letters of [Mr.] Su and [Mr.] Huang” [1] Name of a book. See bibliography of the BCGM. The title refers to → Su Shi 蘇軾 and → Huang Tingjian 黃庭堅. Huang Tingjian was a disciple of Su Shi and the two were closely associated. Two juan of Huang Tingjian’s → Shan gu ji 山谷集 are called Jian chi 簡尺, “Correspondence,” but these do not contain any correspondence between Su and Huang. There is no Su Huang shou jian found in any of the standard bibliographies. LSZ lists this title in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it in the main text, thus nothing more can be said. Su hui ji 溯洄集, “Collection returning to the Sources” Yuan 元 dynasty collection of medical essays. FE → Yi shi 醫史, biography of → Wang Lü 王履. AN Yi jing su hui ji 醫經溯洄集, “Collection Returning to the Sources of the Medical Classics.” Written by Wang Lü. DC 1368. 1 juan. The book was the result of the author’s investigations of ancient medical classics like the → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問 or the → Shang han lun 傷寒論 , during which he attempted to trace medical thought back to its origins, thus the title of the work. LSZ cites the book as Su hui ji [3] or by the name of the author Wang Lü [3] alone. Su Jingzhong 蘇景中 → Su Jingzhong 蘇景仲 Su Jingzhong 蘇景仲 Tang 唐 dynasty person. The → Wai tai mi yao fang 外台秘要 cites a recipe to re-connect ruptured sinews from the → Bi xiao fang 必效方 that allegedly originated in the family of Su Jingzhong. The → ZLBC erroneously takes this over as Su Jingzhong 蘇景中 [1], and LSZ follows this mistake in SE xuan hua 旋花. Su nü jing 素女經, “Classic of the Pure Woman” [1] Book on sexual matters and gynecology. → Ge Hong 葛洪, in the inner chapters of the → Baopu zi 抱朴子 , mentions a Su nü jing and a Xuan nü jing 玄女經, “Classic of the Mysterious Woman,” among the Daoist classics (→ Dao jing 道 經), so the Su nü jing may be considered a Daoist text. The Su nü jing material quoted in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外台秘要方 deals with concretions and accumulations in females, with issues associated with delivery, and with diseases of the genital organs. By contrast, the Su nü jing fragments in the Japanese Ishimpō 醫心方, “Medical Core Recipes,” focus on issues related to sexual intercourse. LSZ cites a recipe second hand from the Wai tai mi yao fang in SE shu 鼠. Su Pu 蘇朴 [1] Southern Song 宋 official, a county magistrate (xian ling 縣令) of Qian tang 錢塘. He once gave → Li Youzhi 李祐之 a recipe that cured the patient of his “melting and thirst” (xiao ke 消渴). LSZ cites this in SE shao yao 芍藥.
440 Su Qiu 蘇遒 → Su You 蘇游 Su Sha shi 宿沙氏, “Gentleman Su Sha” [1] Legendary minister of the Yellow Thearch, → Huang di 黃帝 . He is said to have initiated the production of salt by boiling ocean water. The → Shi wu ji yuan 事物紀原 states that all authors discussing the history of salt production by boiling mention his name. LSZ does so in SE shi yan 食鹽. Su Shao 蘇紹 [1] Northern and Southern Dynasties period person, fl. during the Chen 陳 dynasty (557-589). LSZ, in SE pi li zhen 霹靂砧, states that Su Shao had obtained a stony meteorite shaped like a hammer (lei zhui 雷錘) that weighed nine pounds. The source of this statement remains to be verified. Su Shen liang fang 蘇沈良方, “Good recipes of [Mr.] Su and [Mr.] Shen” Southern Song 宋 collection of medical recipes. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝 文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” The book is a compilation of the → Liang fang 良方 of → Shen Gua 沈括 (style name Cunzhong 存中) and the Su xueshi fang 蘇學士方, “Recipes of Scholar Su,” of → Su Shi 蘇 軾 (literary name Dongpo 東坡). 10 juan (AV 15 juan). The collection included recipes that the authors considered effective, essays on medical principles, materia medica, moxibustion methods, and methods of life cultivation. LSZ cites the book as Su Shen liang fang [6], as Shen Cunzhong fang 沈存中方, “Recipes of Shen Cunzhong,” [1], as Dongpo jia cang fang 東坡家藏方, “Recipes Preserved in the Family of [Su] Dongpo,” [1], as Dongpo liang fang 東坡良方, “Good Recipes of [Su] Dongpo,” [1], and as Liang fang 良方, “Good Recipes,” [3]. In the latter case he labels the title with the names Shen Cunzhong 沈存中 or Su Dongpo 蘇東坡. Su Shi 蘇軾 (1037-1101) Northern Song 宋 literatus, calligrapher, painter, poet, and political figure. Style name Zizhan 子瞻, literary name Dongpo jushi 東坡居士, “Retired Scholar of the Eastern Hillside,” therefore generally called Su Dongpo 蘇東坡. A man of Mei shan 眉山 in Mei zhou 眉州, now part of Si chuan 四川, jin shi 1057. He was a scholar at the Han lin 翰林 Academy during the reign of → Song Zhe zong 宋 哲宗, hence his nickname Su Neihan 蘇内翰, “Su of the Han[lin Academy].” Su was a protégé of → Ouyang Xiu 歐陽修 and went on to hold high court offices such as Minister of Rites (li bu shang shu 禮部尚書). He was constantly in trouble for his political views, however, and was banished from court to hold various regional offices. His literary work was profuse and he is famed as a poet, one of the eight great poets of Tang 唐 and Song times. Versatile as he was, Su Shi even took an interest in medicine and wrote the Su xueshi fang 蘇學士方, “Recipes of Scholar Su,” which was later combined with the → Liang fang 良方 of → Shen Gua 沈括 to form the → Su Shen liang fang 蘇沈良方. In addition to his specialized medical works, his literary collection, the Dongpo quan ji 東坡全集, “Complete Collection of [Su] Dongpo,” (→ Dongpo shi ji 東坡詩集) contains a number of poems connected to medicine. In addition, the → Wu lei xiang gan zhi 物類相感志 is falsely attributed to Su Shi, while the → Qiu chi bi ji 仇池筆
441 記, also attributed to him, was composed from scattered writings of Su’s by later authors. LSZ frequently quotes Su’s books as well as his discourses on medical issues, but he hardly ever specifies which book exactly he took his material from. He refers to Su directly as Su Shi [4], as Su Dongpo [18], as Dongpo 東坡 [2], or Su zi 蘇子, “Master Su,” [1]. Su Shi’s → Han ju shi 寒具詩 is erroneously attributed to → Liu Yuxi 劉禹錫 by LSZ. Su shi 蘇氏, “Mr. Su” [7] → Su Gong 蘇恭 or Su Jing 蘇敬, one of the authors of the → Tang ben cao 唐本草 [12] → Su Song 蘇頌, author of the → Tu jing ben cao 圖經本草

He was the compiler of the → Tu jing ben cao 圖經本草, the Xin yi xiang fa yao 新儀象法要, “Essentials of the Method for the New Armillary Sphere and Celestial Globe,” and other books. LSZ refers to him as Su Song [344], as Zirong [1], as Wei guo gong [1], as Song 頌 [1293], and as Su shi 蘇氏, “Mr. Su” [12]. Su Taoguang 蘇韜光 [2] Southern Song 宋 official and physician, fl. around the qian dao 乾道 reign period (1165-1173). He once served as a county official in Qing liu 清流, now part of Fu jian 福建. The → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方 lists numerous examples of his recipes and their therapeutic results. His successful cure of the daughter-in-law of → Shentu Xingfu 申屠行輔, who following partition fell ill with an epidemic disease, is cited in SE ren shen 人參, where Su Taoguang is erroneously identified as Vice Minister (shi lang 侍郎). Su wen 素問 → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問 Su wen 蘇文, “Su’s Text” [1] Abbreviation for a piece of writing of → Su Shi 蘇軾. LSZ cites the alternative name ji ju zi 鷄距子 for zhi ju 枳椇 from a Su wen. This name occurs in connection with a case report about the illness of → Jie Yingchen 揭穎臣 in the → Su Shen liang fang 素沈良方 that was recorded by Su Shi. Su yan 蘇彥 (3rd to 4th century) [1] Western Jin 晉 official. The Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang,” lists a Su Yan ji 蘇彥集, “Collection of Su Yan,” in 10 juan, now lost. However, parts of his poems are included in the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚 and other works. LSZ takes over a fragment from a
442 Nü zhen song 女貞頌, “Eulogy on the Privet Fruit,” cited in the Yi wen lei ju, as Su Yan song xu 蘇彥頌序, “Preface to a Eulogy of Su Yan,” in SE nü zhen 女貞. Su yijian 蘇易簡 (958-996) Northern Song 宋 high official. Style name Taijian 太簡, a man of Tong shan 銅山 in Zi zhou 梓州, now part of Si chuan 四川, jin shi 980.

LSZ does not cite this collection as a whole but only its individual components, the Zhi pu, the → Bi pu 筆譜, the → Mo pu 墨譜, and the → Yan pu 硯譜. LSZ refers to Su as Su Yijian [2] and as Su shi 蘇氏, “Mr. Su” [3]. Su you 蘇游 Tang 唐 dynasty physician. He was the author of the → Xuan gan chuan shi lun 玄感傳屍論, the Tai yi tie yin shen dan fang 太一鐵胤神丹方, “Tai yi’s Divine Elixir Recipes with Iron Filings” (AN Tie fen lun 鐵粉論, “Discourse on Iron Powder”), and other books. The → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方 cites some recipes from the former work. LSZ erroneously writes his name Su Qiu 蘇遒 [1] when listing the Xuan gan zhuang shi lun in his bibliographical sections but refers to him correctly as Su You [2] in the main text. Su zi 蘇子 → Su Shi 蘇軾 Su Ziyou 蘇子由 (1039-1112) [1] This is the style name of Su Zhe 蘇轍, a Northern Song 宋 literatus and the younger brother of → Su Shi 蘇軾.

The original book is lost, but fragments are quoted in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方 and the → ZLBC. LSZ lists the work as Sui shen bei ji fang [1] in his bibliographical sections and in the main text cites it as Bei ji fang 備急方, “Emergency Recipes,” of Zhang Wenzhong [26], as Zhang Wenzhong fang 張文仲方, “Recipes of Zhang Wenzhong,” [20], or simply
443 referring to the author Zhang Wenzhong [4]. There are also 13 references to a → Bei ji fang 備急方 without mention of an author, but this designation might refer to other books as well. Sui shi guang ji 歲時廣記, “Extensive records of the Four Seasons” [1] Lost Southern Tang 唐 dynasty text written by → Xu Kai 徐鍇. The → TJBC quotes a fragment which is taken over by LSZ in the main text of the BCGM. There is also a Southern Song 宋 book of the same name by → Chen Yuanliang 陳元靚 in 4 juan. It is still extant, but since LSZ refers to the Xu Kai text specifically, that is not the book he is quoting. Sui shi ji 歲時記 → Jing Chu sui shi ji 荊楚歲時記 Sui shu 隋書, “History of the Sui” [6] Standard history of the Sui dynasty, compiled during the Tang 唐 period in annal-biography style (ji zhuan ti 紀傳體) by → Wei Zheng 魏徵 and others. DC completed 636. 85 juan. The work focuses on the history of the Sui dynasty but also details decrees, rules, and institutions of the previous dynasties of Liang 梁, Chen 陳, Qi 齊, and Zhou 周. Annals and biographies begin with Emperor Wen 文 of Sui and end with the time of Emperor Gong 恭, thus covering the period between 581 and 618. The bibliographic treatise (jing ji zhi 經籍志) contained in the Sui shu set the standard for later book catalogues with its classification of literature into four groups: classics (jing 經), histories (shi 史), philosophical works (zi 子), and collections (ji 集). Sui Wen di 隋文帝 (541-604) This is Yang Jian 楊堅, the founder and first emperor of the Sui 隋 dynasty, r. 581604. LSZ relates events that occurred during his time, referring to the emperor as Sui Wen di [1] and as Wen di 文帝 [1]. Sui yang di 隋煬帝 (569-618) This is Yang Guang 楊廣, emperor of the Sui 隋 dynasty, r. 604-618, the main initiator for the construction of the Grand Canal. His river works are the subject of the → Kai he ji 開河記, and LSZ also cites other events related to the emperor from the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺, the → Da ye shi yi lu 大業拾遺錄, and the → Nan jun ji 南郡記, referring to him as Sui Yang di [4] and Yang di 煬帝 [3]. Sui Yang di kai he ji 隋煬帝開河記 → Kai he ji 開河記 Sun 孫 → Sun Simiao 孫思邈 Sun Biyun 孫碧雲 [1] Ming 明 dynasty Daoist, a man of Feng yi 馮翊, now Da li 大荔 in Shaan xi 陝 西.

During the yong le 永樂 reign period (1403-1424) he was granted the literary name Xuxuan zi 虛宣子, “Proclaimed Master of the Void,” and returned to Wu dang shan 武當山. He died at the age of 73 years.

444 Sun Fazong 孫法宗 [1] Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty person. A man of Wu xing 吳興, now Hu zhou 湖州 in Zhe jiang 浙江. His exemplary filial piety is recorded in the → Nan shi 南 史, which also relates a story about how he suffered from a wound on his head but was cured by a recipe transmitted to him by a celestial messenger. LSZ cites this story in SE niu 牛 but erroneously gives the → Song shu 宋書 as his source. Sun Guangxian 孫光憲 (c. 895-968) [6] Five Dynasties, early Song 宋 literatus. Style name Mengwen 孟文, literary name Baoguang zi 葆光子, “Master of Luxurious Radiance,” a man of Gui ping 貴平 in Ling zhou 陵州, in the northeast of present-day Ren shou 仁壽 in Si chuan 四川. He collected books and compared and corrected them, even in his old age. As an official, he served in the kingdom of Nan ping 南平 ( Jing nan 荆 南) for three generations and was appointed prefect (ci shi 刺史) of Huang zhou 黃州 under the Song. Sun was the author of the → Bei meng suo yan 北夢瑣言 and other books. Sun jia xi nu 孫家奚奴, “Boy Servant of Family Liu” [1] Northern and Southern Dynasties period person. Personal name unknown. The → Yi yuan 異苑 relates his abilities to save the lives of people injured by tigers or snake bites. He did so solely with his breath. LSZ cites this in SE ren qi 人氣. Sun Lin 孫琳 Southern Song 宋 medical official, fl. late 12th to early 13th century. He once used a dietary medication with three ingredients to cure emperor → Song Ning zong 宋寧宗 of blocked urination. He also cured → Zhang Zhihe 張知閤 from malaria. LSZ relates various cases of his, referring to Sun as Sun Lin [4] and Lin 琳 [8]. Sun Mian 孫愐 [9] Tang 唐 dynasty expert in phonology and rhymes. Held a local post in Chen zhou 陳州 during the tian bao 天寶 reign period (742-756). Author of the → Tang yun 唐韻, an expansion of the → Qie yun 切韻. Since the later → Guang yun 廣韻 preserves Sun’s preface to the Tang yun, LSZ erroneously also refers the Guang yun to Sun. Sun pu 筍譜, “Treatise on Bamboo Shoots” Song 宋 dynasty text. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by the monk → Zanning 贊寧 . The book is organized in the same way as the → Cha jing 茶經 of → Lu Yu 陸羽, dividing its material into 5 parts that discuss different aspects of bamboo, i.e., terminology, origins of bamboo varieties, bamboo as food, events, and sayings. The book is rich in its use of sources, many of which are now lost. It is also a valuable source in itself for studies on bamboo. LSZ cites the book as Sun pu [3] in his main text but does not list the name in his bibliographical sections. He does, however, cite a → Zhu pu 竹譜 [2] by Zanning in his bibliography and the main text, which is most likely an erroneous designation for the Sun pu.
445 Sun rouzhi 孫柔之 [1] Man of the Western Jin 晉 dynasty or before. No details available. Author of the → Rui ying tu ji 瑞應圖記. Sun Shangyao 孫尚藥 → Sun Yonghe 孫用和 Sun Shangyao fang 孫尚藥方 → Chuan jia mi bao fang 傳家秘寶方 Sun Shaoxian 孫紹先 [1] Late Northern Song 宋 person. Details about his life are unavailable. The → Tuizhai ya wen lu 退齋雅聞錄 lists a recipe of his to cure severe blood spitting. LSZ cites this in SE zhi zhu 蜘蛛 but erroneously gives the source as Tuizhai xian lan 退齋閑錄, “Idle Views of [Hou] Tuizhai.” Sun Sheng tan pu 孫昇談圃, “repository of Conversations with Sun Sheng” [4] This is LSZ’s name for the Sun gong tan pu 孫公談圃, “Repository of Conversations with the Honorable Mr. Sun,” a Northern Song 宋 book. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” AN Tan pu 談圃, “Repository of Conversations.” Written by Liu Yanshi 劉延世. DC 1101. 3 juan. Sun Sheng 孫昇 was an official in the Secretariat-Chancellery (zhong shu 中書), who was banished to Ting zhou 汀州 for factional activity at the beginning of the shao sheng 紹聖 reign period (1094-1097). Liu Yanshi, a man of Lin jiang 臨江 in present-day Jiang xi 江西, followed him on his travels and recorded his conversations with Sun to create the Sun gong tan pu. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text without indicating the author. Sun shi 孫氏, “Mr. Sun” Name of various medical writers. In the cases where LSZ quotes a Sun shi but omits the name of the connected book [6], his sources remain uncertain. [44] In connection with the → Ji xiao fang 集效方 , this is → Sun Tianren 孫天仁.
[4] Yuan 元 dynasty medical theorist, possibly a man called Sun Rencun 孫 仁存, but this is not certain. He is associated by LSZ with the lost → Rencun tang jing yan fang 仁存堂經驗方. LSZ refers to a Sun shi in connection with this work. [1] Unidentifiable author of the → Sun shi ji yan fang 孫氏集驗方
[1] → Sun Yan 孫炎, author of the → Er ya zheng yi 爾雅正義 Sun shi ji yan fang 孫氏集驗方, “Collected and Proven recipes of Mr. Sun” [1] Medical recipe book listed in the bibliographical sections of the BCGM. The attributed author Sun shi 孫氏, “Mr. Sun,” is unidentifiable. Since LSZ does not cite any material from this work in the main text or offer any additional information, it is impossible to say which text and author he is referring to.
446 Sun shi lang 孫侍郎, “Vice Minister Sun” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official, served as Vice Minister of Rites (li bu shi lang 禮部侍 郎). The → Wai tai mi yao fang 外台秘要方 lists a recipe to cure demon qi and eliminate evil, stating that it had been used successfully to cure a member of Sun shi lang’s household who suffered from such an ailment. LSZ relates this in SE a wei 阿魏. Sun Simiao 孫思邈 (581-682?) Tang 唐 dynasty physician. A man of Hua yuan 華原 in Jing zhao 京兆, now Luo xian 耀縣 in Shaan xi 陝西. He received the title of Miaoying zhenren 妙應 真人, “Perfected One of Subtle Responses,” and was therefore called Sun zhenren 孫真人, “Sun the Perfected One.” Both the "Old" and the "New History" of the Tang (→ Tang shu 唐書) contain his biography. Allegedly, Sun was considered a person of outstanding literary talent who was well versed in Confucianist thought as well as Daoism and Buddhism. He is described as having lived as a recluse at various stages of his life and having been repeatedly summoned to court by successive emperors. Most of this is not proven fact. Books written by Sun Simiao or attributed to him are numerous. Those used extensively by LSZ include the → Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急方, the → Qian jin yi fang 千金翼 方, the → Qian jin sui fang 千金髓方, the → Qian jin yue ling fang 千金月令 方, the → Qian jin shi zhi 千金食治, the → Sun zhenren shi ji 孫真人食忌, and the → Zhen zhong ji 枕中記 . Apart from these, the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” attributes various other works to Sun, e.g., the → Zhen zhong su shu 枕中素書, the → She sheng zhen lu 攝生真錄, the → Fu lu lun 福 祿論, the → San jiao lun 三教論, and commentaries on the → Lao zi 老子 and the → Zhuang zi 莊子 . LSZ refers to Sun as Sun Simiao [214], as Sun zhenren [48], and as Simiao 思邈 [142]. References to Sun 孫 [2] alone are to the Qian jin shi zhi. Sun Tanxuan 孫探玄 → Sun Tianren 孫天仁 Sun Tianren 孫天仁 Ming 明 dynasty person. Style name Rongshan 容山, literary name Tanxuan zi 探玄子, “The Master Who Explores the Mysterious.” Further details about his life are unavailable. Author of the Sanfeng Zhang zhenren shen su wan ying fang 三丰張真人神速萬應方, “Zhang Sanfeng the Perfected One’s Recipes of Divine Swiftness and Ten-thousand Responses,” cited as → Ji xiao fang 集效方 by LSZ. LSZ refers to Sun as Sun Tianren [17], as Sun shi 孫氏, “Mr. Sun,” [44], as Sun Tanxuan 孫探玄 [1], and erroneously as Sun zhenren 孫真人,“Sun the Perfected One,” [1]. Sun yan 孫炎 Confucian scholar and expert in lexicography from the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period. Style name Shuran 叔然, a man of Le an 樂安, now Bo xing 博興 in Shan dong 山東.

Sun Yan zhu 孫炎注 → Er ya zheng yi 爾雅正義 Sun Yan zhu Er ya 孫炎注爾雅 → Er ya zheng yi 爾雅正義 Sun yisong 孫一松 [2] Author of a lost → Shi xiao fang 試效方 . Further details unavailable. Sun yonghe 孫用和 Northern Song 宋 physician. Originally from Wei zhou 衛州, now Ji xian 汲縣 in He nan 河南, he later moved to He yang 河陽, now Meng xian 孟縣. During the reign of → Song Ren zong 宋仁宗 (r. 1022-1063), he cured the empress of a disease and was therefore awarded with various medical posts such as Head of the Palace Medical Service (shang yao feng yu 上藥奉禦) and Imperial Physician (tai yi ling 太醫令), thus people called him Sun Shangyao 孫尚藥, “Sun of the Palace Medical Service.” His sons → Sun Zhao 孫兆 and Sun Qi 孫奇 were also famous physicians. Sun Yonghe was the author of the → Chuan jia mi bao fang 傳家秘寶方. LSZ refers to him as Sun Yonghe [12] and Sun Shangyao [6]. Sun Yonghe fang 孫用和方 → Chuan jia mi bao fang 傳家秘寶方 Sun yuangui 孫元規 [1] Northern Song 宋 official, held a local post in Hang zhou 杭州 during the reign of → Song Ren zong 宋仁宗 (r. 1022-1063).

He held high court posts and was part of the bureau for the revision of medical texts, where he participated in the revision of the → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問. He was also the author of a Shang han fang 傷寒方, “Recipes Against Harm Caused by Cold.” The → ZLBC cites a Sun Zhao fang 孫兆方, “Recipes of Sun Zhao,” and a → Kou jue 口訣 by Sun Zhao, which some consider an abbreviation for Sun Yonghe’s Chuan jia mi bao mai zheng kou jue bing fang 傳家秘寶脈證口訣 并方, “Secret and Precious Recipes and Rhymed Instructions on Vessel [Movements] and Disease Signs, Transmitted within the Family” (→ Chuan jia mi bao fang 傳家秘寶方). The Mi bao fang 秘寶方, “Secret and Previous Recipes,” passages that LSZ refers to Sun Zhao are all taken from the ZLBC, which refers the same material to Sun Yonghe rather than Sun Zhao.

Attributed to → Sun Simiao 孫思邈. The original book is lost, but the ZLBC quotes more than 40 fragments that differ considerably in content from the material found in the → Qian jin shi zhi 千金食治. The text focuses on the application of foodstuffs and everyday objects in the treatment of disease, and there is also a small amount of information on food prohibitions. LSZ cites the book second hand as Sun zhenren shi ji [9] and Sun zhenren fang 孫真人方, “Recipes of Sun the Perfected One,” [22]. Sun Zhenzong 孫貞宗 [1] Erroneous name for → Sun Yonghe 孫用和 (AV in the BCGM Jiang xi 江西 edition Sun Zhenzong 孫真宗). LSZ refers a fragment from a Mi bao fang 秘寶 方, “Secret and Previous Recipes,” (→ Chuan jia mi bao fang 傳家秘寶方) to Sun Zhenzong, which is labeled Sun Shangyao 孫尚藥 in the ZLBC. Sun Shangyao is a name given to Sun Yonghe in reference to his medical post at court. Sun Zhongying 孫仲盈 [1] Song 宋 to Yuan 元 dynasty person. Details about his life are unavailable.

The book was divided into 30 chapters, each chapter collecting related source material on one category of things. Most of the book is lost, only the part on agricultural techniques survives. Some fragments are preserved in the → Yi shuo 醫説 and other books, from which LSZ takes his citations. The Suo sui lu relied on many earlier works, therefore some of the material LSZ cites from it is also found in earlier texts, e.g., the fragment reproduced in SE fu zi 附子 is originally from the Northern Song Jia shi tan lu 賈氏談錄, “Records of Talks with Mr. Jia,” of Zhang Ji 張洎.

The recipes are mentioned in his → Shi ji 史記 biography, the Cang gong lie zhuan 倉公列傳, “Biography of the Lord of the Granary,” (→ Chunyu Yi zhuan 淳於意傳). These recipes are incorrectly considered an independent book by the → ZLBC and called Tai cang gong fang. LSZ takes over this error and lists the assumed book in his bibliographical sections but does not cite any material in the main text. He does, however, cite various case studies from Chunyu Yi’s biography there.

DC 1425. 15 juan. There is also an expanded book of the same name written by the Daoist Tian Yu 田玉, DC 1583. Tai he shan 太和山 or Tai yue is Wu dang shan 武當山 in the northwestern parts of Hu bei 湖北, along the southern flanks of the river Han 漢. This place produces many medicinal substances, thus its importance for LSZ who frequently refers to medicinals from the area. LSZ lists the book as Tai he shan zhi [1] in his bibliographical sections and as Tai he zhi 太和志, “Records of Tai he,” in the main text without naming an author. Thus it remains uncertain whether he was using the work of Ren Ziyuan or that of Tian Yu.

It is organized like the Yuan he jun xian zhi 元和郡縣志, “Records of Prefectures and Counties of the Yuan he Reign Period,” adding substantial information about local customs, surnames, individuals, local products, and the four “barbarian” tribes of the West. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but only cites one fragment from it in SE bu hui mu 不灰木. References to a Huan yu zhi 寰宇志, “Universal Gazetteer,” in the main text are to the Huan yu tong zhi 寰宇通志, “Comprehensive Gazetteer of the Universe,” (→ Da Ming yi tong zhi 大明一統 志) and not the Tai ping huan yu ji.

Each chapter is preceded by a discourse from the Zhu bing yuan hou lun 諸病源候論, “Discourse on the Origins and Symptoms of All Diseases” (→ Bing yuan lun 病原論) of → Chao Yuanfang 巢元方.

DC 976-984. 1000 juan, divided into 5363 categories. The book uses a wide variety of sources, 1690 works in all. These include 100 Han 漢 dynasty biographies, 200 ancient local geographies, and many Han period texts on divination and apocrypha (chen wei 讖緯). Most of these are now lost, therefore the Tai ping yu lan provides a valuable source for older material. Even though LSZ does not cite the text directly very often, as Tai ping yu lan [3] and as Yu lan 御覽, “Imperial Overview,” [4], the book constituted one of LSZ’s most important sources for second hand quotations of early materia medica literature.

452 Tai qing fa 太清法, “Method of the Great Clarity” [1] Possibly the title of a Daoist book. Tai qing 太清, “Great Clarity,” is a Daoist technical term for the heavenly law, hence these two characters are frequently placed at the beginning of Daoist book titles. A book called Tai qing fa, however, is not recorded in any of the standard bibliographical sources.

The fragment in SE gan jiang 乾薑 can be found in the Tang period → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎, which mentions the term tai qing wai shu in connection with the same material when citing from a Yin jue 隱訣, “Secret Instructions.” LSZ takes this over and considers Tai qing wai shu the name of a book. Tai qing 太清, however, apart from constituting a Daoist alchemical tradition, was a Daoist technical term standing for the heavenly law in the orthodox traditions, therefore the term tai qing wai shu might simply be a general designation for arts outside Daoist orthodoxy and not an actual book title.

[3] See bibliography of the BCGM. Attributed to an otherwise unknown Aizhu 愛竹 [2] or Aizhu weng 愛竹翁, “The Old Man Who Loves Bamboo,” [1]. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text, but all the material cited from this work as well as the material from the → Tan sou 談 藪 of → Pang Yuanying 龐元英 is found in the medical case studies of the Southern Song physician → Sun Lin 孫琳 (fl. during the reign of → Song Ning zong 宋寧宗 (r. 1194-1224)). The two quotations from the Tan sou of Aizhu even originate from the same case record.

Thus, the Tan sou of Pang Yuanying and the Tan sou of Aizhu are actually one and the same book. The Aizhu text is neither mentioned in any other bibliography, nor is it cited anywhere but in the BCGM, and the person Aizhu or Aizhu weng is unidentifiable, so LSZ’s attribution is probably an error.

This he later conferred to his disciple → Song Qiqiu 宋齊丘 at Jian kang 建康 and asked him to compose a preface for it. Song did in fact write a preface but in addition falsely claimed that the book was his own work, thus the book is attributed to Song Qiqiu in early bibliographies.

The work was based upon the Ben cao jing ji zhu 本草經集注, “Collected Commentaries on the Classic of Materia Medica,” (→ MYBL) of → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景. It included 850 entries on pharmaceutical substances divided into 11 groups: minerals, herbs, trees, human substances, quadrupeds, birds, worms/bugs and fishes, fruit, grains, vegetables, and “drugs that have a name but are [unidentifiable and therefore] not used [nowadays]” (you ming wei yong 有 名未用).. The Tang ben cao added 114 new pharmaceutical substances to materia medica literature, and existing discussions were considerably expanded, now including information on morphology, production areas, and harvesting of pharmaceutical substances. Although impressed with the collection, LSZ notes its many errors. The original text is lost, and the surviving parts are rather incomplete, that is, the main text is preserved in the → ZLBC, but the illustrations and illustrated writings were lost completely. During the Northern Song 宋 the Tang ben cao was revised twice, and the remarks of the editors of the original work were labeled Tang ben zhu 唐本注, “Annotations to the Tang Volume” (→ Tang zhu 唐 注). LSZ refers to the Tang ben cao frequently but does so in different ways depending upon what kind of material he is quoting. Drug names at the beginning of an entry are labeled Tang ben cao [151] (see also → Tang ben xian fu 唐本先 附), indications and alternative names Tang ben 唐本, “Tang Volume,” [302]. The annotations from the original work are marked as Tang zhu [4], Tang fu 唐附, “Addendum to the [Materia Medica of the] Tang,” [1], Su Gong [372], or Gong 恭 [567]. Li also refers to the Tang ben cao as Su Gong ben cao [3], as Tang xin ben cao [1], and as Ying gong Tang ben cao [1], to the illustrations as Yao tu [2], and to the illustrated writings as Tu jing [2].
458 Tang ben xian fu 唐本先附, “First added in the Tang Volume” [2] Designation for a certain type of texual material. The → Tang ben cao 唐本草 added 114 new pharmaceutical substances to materia medica literature. The later → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草 used the phrase Tang ben xian fu in order to identify the Tang ben cao as the source of textual material related to these substances. LSZ takes the designation Tang ben xian fu over in his introductory sections but within the main text refers the material directly to the Tang ben cao. Tang ben yu 唐本餘, “additions to the Tang Volume” [2] Designation for a certain type of texual material. The term Tang ben yu first appears in the → ZLBC in 45 places, 7 of which contain information on newly added medicinal substances. Some consider the term Tang ben yu a reference to information omitted by the → Tang ben cao 唐本草, but modern research has shown that the material labeled as such goes back to the Chong guang Ying gong ben cao 重廣英公本草, “Repeatedly Expanded Materia Medica of the Duke of Ying” (→ Shu ben cao 蜀本草). The Shu ben cao was composed on the basis of the Tang ben cao with many corrections and additions, and the clauses labeled Tang ben yu in the ZLBC were apparently taken from these expansions to the Tang ben cao. Tang dai zong 唐代宗 (726-779) [1] This is Li Yu 李豫, emperor of the Tang 唐 dynasty, r. 762-779. LSZ informs that because of a taboo on the emperor’s name the herb shu yu 薯蕷 was renamed shu yao 薯藥. Tang de zong 唐德宗 (742-805) [3] This is Li Gua 李适, emperor of the Tang 唐 dynasty, r. 779-805. He headed the compilation of the → Zhen yuan guang li fang 貞元廣利方 in 796. Tang fu 唐附 → Tang ben cao 唐本草, → Tang zhu 唐注 Tang Gao zong 唐高宗 (628-683) This is Li Zhi 李治, emperor of the Tang 唐 dynasty, r. 649-683. He was the emperor ordering the compilation of the → Tang ben cao 唐本草. LSZ refers to him as Tang Gao zong [3] and as Gao zong 高宗 [7] in this context and in connection with a preventive treatment by boiling mallow (kui 葵) or with exotic birds and beasts payed by foreign countries as tribute. Note that some of the references to Gao zong might also be to → Song Gao zong 宋高宗. Tang Gao zu 唐高祖 (566-635) [2] This is Li Yuan 李淵, founder and first emperor of the Tang 唐 dynasty, r. 618625.

There is a collection of his works, the Jingchuan xiansheng wen ji 荊川先生文集, “Literary Collection of Gentleman Jingchuan,” (→ Tang Jingchuan ji 唐荊川集). Tang Jingchuan ji 唐荊川集, “Collection of Tang Jingchuan” [1] This is LSZ’s name for the Jingchuan ji 荊川集, “Collection of [Tang] Jingchuan,” the literary collection of Tang Shunzhi 唐順之 (→ Tang Jingchuan 唐荊 川). FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” AN Jingchuan xiansheng wen ji 荊川先生文集, “Literary Collection of Gentleman Jingchuan.” 26 juan (AV 20 juan, 16 juan). LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it in the main text. Tang Meng 唐蒙 [3] Apart from serving as an alternative name for tu si zi 菟絲子 in the → Er ya 爾 雅, the name Tang Meng refers to a Western Han 漢 high official. He served as commander at Po yang 鄱陽 and held a military post under → Han Wu di 漢 武帝, during which he was dispatched as an envoy to the southern tribes in 131 BCE and encouraged the emperor to expand his territory to the areas of Zang ke 牂牱 and Nan yue 南越. The → TJBC contains some material about Tang
460 Meng, which LSZ takes over. Tang is also attributed the → Bo wu zhi 博物志 by Ming 明 dynasty authors. Tang Ming huang 唐明皇 → Tang Xuan zong 唐玄宗 Tang Minshu 湯晦叔 [1] Early Southern Song 宋 physician. → Xu Shuwei 許叔微 in his → Ben shi fang 本事方, quotes him as stating that nosebleed results from a failure to sweat when the body is supposed to sweat.

Tang Qiang 唐羌 [1] Eastern Han 漢 official. During the reign of → Han He di 漢和帝 (r. 88-105) he was the magistrate of Lin wu 臨武. According to the → Hou Han shu 後漢書 , at that time the Nan hai 南海 region supplied longans and lychees as tribute, which were transported along the road by a relay of fast horses. However, many of these horses died. Tang Qiang submitted a memorial to the emperor in order to draw attention to this situation. As a result, Emperor He ordered a stop of these tributes. LSZ takes this story over in SE long yan 龍眼. Tang Sanyi 湯三益 [1] Southern Song 宋 physician, a man of Dang tu 當塗, now Dang tu 當涂 in An hui 安徽. He once treated a disease of Hong Zun 洪遵 (→ Hong Wen’an 洪 文安) with pills containing yu shi 礜石. After prolonged consumption of these pills, Hong died. This event is recorded by → Hong Mai 洪邁 in the → Rongzhai sui bi 容齋隨筆. Tang Shenwei 唐慎微 Northern Song 宋 expert in pharmaceutics.

During the yuan you 元祐 reign period (1086-1094), he became a disciple of Li Duanbo 李 端伯 and moved his home to Hua yang 華陽 in Cheng du 成都. From a family of hereditary physicians, he treated many members of the scholarly elite and is said to have asked his patients not for money but for their secret family recipes as payment, a behavior that earned him great respect. Compiler of the → Zheng lei ben cao 證類本草. LSZ refers to him as Tang Shenwei [33], as Shenwei 慎微 [56], and as Tang shi 唐氏, “Mr. Tang,” [1]. Tang Shenwei ben cao 唐慎微本草 → Zheng lei ben cao 證類本草 Tang Shenwei fang 唐慎微方 → Zheng lei ben cao 證類本草 Tang shi 湯氏 → Tang Heng 湯衡 Tang shi 唐氏, “Mr. Tang” [2] In SE jun gui 箘桂 and er gou 耳垢, this is → Tang Shenwei 唐慎微, compiler of the → Zheng lei ben cao 證類本草. [1] In Tang shi de xiao fang 唐氏得效方, “Mr. Tang’s Recipes to Obtain [Good] Results,” this is an erroneous designation for → Wei Yilin 危亦林.
461 [15] → Tang Yao 唐瑤, the otherwise unknown author of the → Jing yan fang 經驗方 (13).
[1] Eastern Jin 晉 dynasty person of the Tang 唐 clan, said to have transformed from a female into a male during the ning kang 寧康 reign period (373375). LSZ cites this in SE ren gui 人傀. Tang shi 唐詩, “Tang Poetry” [2] Poetry of the Tang 唐 dynasty. LSZ uses the term without specifying which author or poem he is referring to. Tang shi 唐史, “Tang Histories” [9] General term for texts that record historical events of the Tang dynasty, among them the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” the Xin Tang shu 新唐 書, “New History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書), the → You yang za zu 酉陽 雜俎, the → Guo shi bu 國史補, or other unidentifiable texts. Tang shi bao shu 湯氏寶書 → Ying hai bao shu 嬰孩寶書 Tang shi de xiao fang 唐氏得效方 → Wei shi de xiao fang 危氏得效方 Tang shi fang 唐氏方 → Jing yan fang 經驗方 (13) Tang shi jing yan fang 唐氏經驗方 → Jing yan fang 經驗方 (13) Tang shu 唐書, “History of the Tang” [25] Standard history of the Tang dynasty, written in annal-biography style (ji zhuan ti 紀傳體). There are two histories of Tang, the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (which is the actual Tang shu) edited between 940 and 945 by Liu Xu 劉昫 and others, and the Xin Tang shu 新唐書, “New History of the Tang.” The Tang shu LSZ is referring to is not the Jiu Tang shu but the Xin Tang shu. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” Written by → Ouyang Xiu 歐陽修, → Song Qi 宋 祁, and others. DC 1044-1060. 225 juan. The Xin Tang shu covered the same period as its predecessor the Jiu Tang shu, that is, the entire Tang dynasty (618-907). It supplemented the old version with new data but does not preserve as much firsthand source material. LSZ does not refer to the full name of the Xin Tang shu but simply calls it Tang shu, referring this title to Ouyang Xiu in his bibliographical sections and once to Song Qi in the main text. LSZ also occasionally mentions a → Tang shi 唐史, but this is a general term for several texts covering the history of the Tang dynasty. Tang shuang pu 糖霜譜, “Treatise on White Sugar” [2] Song 宋 dynasty specialized book on sugar. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解 題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” times.

462 Tang Su zong 唐肅宗 (711-762) [1] This is Li Heng 李亨, emperor of the Tang 唐 dynasty, r. 756-762. LSZ mentions his wife, → Zhang hou 張后, who used wine prepared from the toxic brains of chi 鴟 birds. Tang Tai zong 唐太宗 (711-762) This is Li Shimin 李世民, emperor of the Tang 唐 dynasty, r. 626-649. LSZ cites a number of stories about him, referring to the emperor as Tang Tai zong [5] (including one reference to the lost → Tang Tai zong shi lu 唐太宗實錄) and Tai zong 太宗 [3]. Tang Tai zong shi lu 唐太宗實錄, “Veritable records of Tang Tai zong” [1] Lost Tang dynasty historical text. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by Xu Jingzong 許敬 宗. 40 juan. The → TJBC cited the text and LSZ takes over the citation in his main text. Tang Wen zong 唐文宗 (809-840) [1] This is Li Ang 李昂, originally called Li Han 李涵, emperor of the Tang 唐 dynasty, r. 827-840. In SE xi 犀, LSZ cites second hand an event of how he came into possession of a rhinoceros capable of warding off summerheat. Tang Wu hou bie zhuan 唐武后別傳, “Supplementary Biography of Empress Wu of the Tang” [1] Fictitious biography. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. The ZLBC cites a fragment on Empress Wu in its wu tou 烏頭 entry, and later editors apparently turned this reference into a book title by adding a Tang Wu hou wai zhuan 唐武 后外傳, “Outer Biography of Empress Wu of the Tang,” into the bibliographical sections. The material cited is actually from the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書), juan 183. LSZ follows the ZLBC in listing a Tang Wu hou bie zhuan in his bibliographical sections but does not take over the fragment on Empress Wu in the main text. Tang Wu zong 唐武宗, (814-846) [1] This is Li Yan 李炎, emperor of theTang 唐 dynasty, r. 840-846. According to the → TJBC, he consumed zi hua li 紫花梨 to cure a disease. LSZ cites this in SE li 梨. Tang xiao shuo 唐小説, “Tang Minor Tales” [3] General term for the Tang dynasty fiction, not any particular book. LSZ provides the title with a bibliographical entry and uses it in two places: Material in SE zhu ji 竹鷄 is taken from the → Bei meng suo yan 北夢瑣言 of → Sun Guangxian 孫光憲 (cf. → Cui Wei gong zhuan 崔魏公傳), while the fragment in SE ren shi 人虱 is from the Hui chang jie yi lu 會昌解頥錄, “Records of Laughable Matters from the Hui chang Reign Period,” as cited in the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記.
463 Tang xin ben cao 唐新本草 → Tang ben cao 唐本草 Tang Xuan zong 唐玄宗 (685-762) This is Li Longji 李隆基, emperor of the Tang 唐 dynasty, r. 712-756. Also called Tang Ming huang 唐明皇. He is listed as the primary compiler of the → Kai yuan guang ji fang 開元廣濟方 and the → Tian bao dan fang tu 天寶單方圖, now both lost and surviving only in fragments. LSZ also cites events related to the emperor from the → Ming huang za lu 明皇雜錄. He refers to him as Tang Xuan zong [10], as Ming huang 明皇 [1], Xuan zong 玄宗 [1], Tang Ming huang [3], and as Kai yuan huang di 開元皇帝 [1]. Tang Xuan zong 唐宣宗 (810-859) [1] This is Li Chen 李忱, emperor of the Tang 唐 dynasty, r. 846-859. LSZ cites a story of → Zhang Shou 張壽 obtaining a recipe with bu gu zhi 補骨脂 during his time. Tang yao 唐瑤 Medical writer, no details about his life available. According to LSZ, the author of an otherwise unknown → Jing yan fang 經驗方 (13). LSZ refers to him as Tang Yao [35] or Tang shi 唐氏, “Mr. Tang,” [16]. Tang Yao fang 唐瑤方 → Jing yan fang 經驗方 3 Tang Yao jing yan 唐瑤經驗 → Jing yan fang 經驗方 3 Tang ye 湯液 → Tang ye ben cao 湯液本草 Tang ye ben cao 湯液本草, “Materia Medica for decoctions” Book on pharmaceutics. FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” Written by → Wang Haogu 王好古. DC c. 1298. 3 juan (AV 2 juan). The title refers back to the Tang ye jing fang 湯液經方, “Classical Recipes for Decoctions,” mentioned in the Han shu yi wen zhi 漢書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Han.” The book is one of the early representatives of Song-Jin-Yuan 宋金元 attempts at generating a pharmacology based on the doctrines of yin yang and the five phases. Wang Haogu quoted the Yao lei fa xiang 藥類法象, “Classification of Pharmaceutical Drugs Reflected in the Laws [of Systematic Correspondences],” and the Yong yao xin fa 用 藥心法, “Core Methods for Using Pharmaceutical Drugs,” of → Li Gao 李杲 (→ Yong yao fa xiang 用藥法象), the → Jie gu zhen zhu nang 潔古珍珠囊 of → Zhang Yuansu 張元素, and other books. The text offers much material on drug interactions, and the last two juan contain simple but precise discussions of 228 pharmaceuticals. The result is the most important practical materia medica of the Yuan 元 period, one highly esteemed by LSZ, who cites material of Li Gao and Zhang Yuansu from the Tang ye ben cao. He labels his quotations Tang ye ben cao [3], Tang ye 湯液, “Decoctions,” [17], Haogu 好古 [219], Wang Haogu 王好古 [30], or Wang Haicang 王海藏 [12]. Tang ye da fa 湯液大法 → Yi jia da fa 醫家大法
464 Tang yue fu 唐樂府, “Tang Yue fu” [1] Reference to Tang 唐 period poetry reminiscent of that produced in the ancient music bureau (yue fu 樂府) of the Han 漢. Although a Ming 明 period book titled Tang yue fu by Wu Mianxue 吳勉學 in 18 juan exists, this cannot be the text LSZ is referring to, because his citation of a Tang yue fu in SE song luo 鬆蘿 is taken from the Song 宋 → Er ya yi 爾雅翼 of → Luo Yuan 羅願. Tang yun 唐韻, “Tang rhymes” [17] Tang 唐 dynasty dictionary, arranged in rhymes. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新 唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Sun Mian 孫愐. DC 751. 5 juan. The book was an expansion of the → Qie yun 切韻 of Lu Fayan 陸法言, with new characters and annotations added. The original book is lost, but the later → Guang yun 廣韻 uses the Tang yun as its basis and preserves the preface of Sun Mian, therefore LSZ erroneously assigned the Guang yun to Sun. Tang yuzheng 唐與正 (1136-1188) This is the style name of Tang Zhongyou 唐仲友, a Song 宋 dynasty official. A man of Jin hua 金華 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江. Jin shi during the shao xing 紹興 reign period (1131-1163); in charge of Tai zhou 台州 during the chun xi 淳熙 reign period (1174–1189). In his youth he studied pulse diagnosis and pharmaceutics. Medical case histories of his are recorded in the → Yijian zhi 夷堅志, and LSZ takes one over about the cure of → Wu Xunjian 吳巡檢, referring to Tang as Tang Yuzheng [1] and as Tang 唐 [1]. Tang Zhongju fang 唐仲舉方, “recipes of Tang Zhongju” [2] Source of recipes, probably not a book. See bibliography of the BCGM. It is to be assumed that Tang Zhongju 唐仲舉 was the person who transmitted the recipe quoted in the main text of the BCGM, and LSZ makes this a book title in his bibliographical sections. No information is available on any person called Tang Zhongju. Tang zhu 唐注, “annotations to the [Materia Medica of the] Tang” Literary device to refer to small character annotations in the → Tang ben cao 唐 本草 that were usually labeled “I cautiously propose” (jin an 謹按). In the → Kai bao ben cao 開寶本草, these became known as Tang ben zhu 唐本注, “Annotations in the Tang Volume,” abbreviated by LSZ as Tang zhu. LSZ often refers to this material as Tang zhu [4], as Tang fu 唐附, “Addendum to the [Materia Medica of the] Tang [1], or labels it with the name of → Su Gong 蘇恭 or Gong 恭. Tanzhai bi heng 坦齋筆衡, “Brush Judgements of [ye] Tanzhai” Southern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by Ye Zhi 葉 寘 (literary name Tanzhai 坦齋, fl. jia ding 嘉定 reign period (1208-1224)). DC early 13th century. 1 juan. The book records various Song period matters and includes some medical recipes. The original text is lost, but fragments are preserved in the → Yang ke man bi 養疴漫筆 and other works. LSZ lists the book as Tanzhai bi heng [1] in his bibliographical sections but adds an extra character to the
465 title, thus making it Xing Tanzhai bi heng 邢坦齋筆衡, “Brush Judgements of Xing Tanzhai.” This suggests an authorship by a person called Xing Tanzhai 邢 坦齋, which is certainly an error, the character xing 邢 is superfluous. LSZ also cites the book as Bi heng 筆衡, “Brush Judgements,” [1] in his main text. Tao 陶 → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 Tao gong 陶公 → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 (456-536) Liang 梁 dynasty Daoist and expert in pharmaceutics. Style name Tongming 通 明, a man of Mo ling 秣陵 in Dan yang 丹陽, now part of Jiang su 江蘇. LSZ claims that he died at an age of 85, but current scholarship agrees that he was only 81. As a young man, Tao served as a royal tutor for Southern Qi 齊 dynasty princes. After 492 he resigned and took up residence at Mao shan 茅山 in order to practice Daoist arts and study medicine. Tao called himself Huayang yinju 華 陽隱居, “Recluse of Hua yang,” and after his death was given the posthumous name Zhenbai xiansheng 貞白先生, “Gentleman of True Purity.” Tao was a prolific writer. LSZ quotes his → Zhou hou bai yi fang 肘後百一方, the → Za lu 雜 錄 , the → Deng zhen yin jue 登真隱訣, the → Zhen gao 真誥, and the → Yao zong jue 藥總訣. One major work of Tao’s, the Ben cao jing ji zhu 本草經集注, “Collected Commentaries on the Classic of Materia Medica,” is cited incorrectly as → Ming yi bie lu 名醫別錄 by LSZ even though the MYBL was only one of the texts edited by Tao as part of his edition of the → Shen nong ben cao jing 神農 本草經. LSZ refers to Tao as Tao Hongjing [108], as Tongming [1], as Hongjing 弘景 [935], as Tao gong 陶公, “Honorable Mr. Tao,” [162], as Tao shi 陶氏, “Mr. Tao,” [110], or simply as Tao 陶 [162]. He also refers to Tao by his literary name Tao Yinju 陶隱居 [44], as Huayang yinju [1], by his popular designation Yinju xiansheng 隱居先生, “The Gentleman Who Lived in Seclusion,” [1], and by his posthumous name Tao Zhenbai 陶貞白 [1] or Zhenbai xiansheng [2]. Tao Hua 陶華 (1369-1450?) [4] Ming 明 dynasty physician. Style name Shangwen 尚文, literary name Jie’an 節 庵, “Hut of Integrity,” a man of Yu hang 餘杭 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江.

This was later supplemented with four more of Tao’s works to produce the → Shang han shi shu 傷寒十書. Tao was greatly influenced by the → Nan yang huo ren shu 南陽活人書, and his works are easy to understand and very practical. Tao Hua fang 陶華方 → Shang han shi shu 傷寒十書 Tao Jiucheng 陶九成 (1316-?) [12] This is the style name of Tao Zongyi 陶宗儀, a late Yuan 元, early Ming 明 literatus. Literary name Nancun 南村, “Southern Village,” a man of Huang yan 黃 岩 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江. He failed the jin shi examinations during the late Yuan but was given a post as instructor during the hong wu 洪武 reign pe-
466 riod (1368-1398). Tao had a reputation for excellent scholarship and was equally renowned for his poetic, calligraphic and painting abilities. He was the author of the → Chuo geng lu 輟耕錄 and the compiler of the → Shuo fu 説郛. Tao shi 陶氏, “Mr. Tao” [110] → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景, author of the → Ming yi bie lu 名醫別錄 and other books.
[1] Probably the Eastern Jin 晉 poet Tao Qian 陶潛 or Tao Yuanming 陶淵 明 (365, 372 or 376-427). Style name Yuanliang 元亮, a man of Chai sang 柴桑 in Xun yang 潯陽, now part of Jiang xi 江西. His literary collection is the Tao Yuanming ji 陶淵明集, “Collection of Tao Yuanming.” The Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書 經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui,” lists a Sou shen hou ji 搜神後記, “Later Records of Searching for the Supernatural,” (→ Xu sou shen ji 續搜神記) by Tao but suspects that this might be a fake attribution.

Written by → Peng Yongguang 彭用光. DC 1549. 6 juan (AV 5 juan). The text assembles earlier material on pulse diagnosis, properties of medicinals, etc., to which the author added recipes he considered proven. The title refers to medicine as an art of benevolence.

DC c. 712-756. The text combined illustrations of medicinals with the ingredients of single substance recipes to facilitate their identification. It was lost but for one juan by Northern Song 宋 times, but several fragments
467 were incorporated into the → TJBC. LSZ quotes the work second hand from the → ZLBC, referring to it as Tian bao dan fang tu [6], as Tian bao dan fang 天 寶單方, “Single Substance Recipes of the Tian bao Reign Period” [5], as Tian bao dan xing fang 天寶單行方, “Single Substance Recipes of the Tian bao Reign Period” [2], and as Tian bao fang 天寶方, “Recipes of the Tian bao Reign Period” [2].

LSZ refers to this figure as Tian lao 天老 [2] and Tian lao 天姥 [1]. Tian lao 天姥 → Tian lao 天老 Tian Lushi 田錄事 [1] Northern Song 宋 medical expert commonly called Tian Maqi 田馬騎. He practiced in Bian jing 汴京 (now Kai feng 開封 in He nan 河南) in Lu shi 錄 事 alley. According to the → Ben shi fang 本事方, he cured → Xu Yuangong 許 元公 from a dislocated shoulder resulting from a fall on slippery ground. The → Lei shuo 類説 takes over this story, and LSZ cites it second hand in SE di huang 地黃 but, following the reading of the Lei shuo, renders Tian’s name Tian Lushi. Tian rihua 田日華 → Hong fei ji 鴻飛集, → Rihua zi 日華子 Tian rucheng 田汝成 (c. 1503-?) Ming 明 dynasty literatus. Style name Shuhe 叔禾, a man of Qian tang 錢塘, now Hang zhou 杭州 in Zhe jiang 浙江, jin shi 1526.

LSZ refers to Tian as Tian Rucheng [2] and mistakenly as Tian Jiucheng 田九成 [1]. Tian shi fang 田氏方, “Mr. Tian’s recipes” [1] Source of recipes, probably not a book. LSZ labels a therapy to cure blocked urination as Tian shi fang, but the origin of this recipe remains uncertain.
468 Tian shu mi Kuang 田樞密況, “Tian Kuang from the Bureau of Military affairs” [1] This is Tian Kuang 田況, an early Northern Song 宋 high official. Style name Yuanjun 元均. Originally from Jing zhao 京兆 (now Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝 西), he later moved to Xin du 信都, now Yi xian 冀縣 in He bei 河北.

LSZ does not give an author, but this book is probably the same book as the Tian yuan sheng wu bu 天元生物 薄, “Book of Things Engendered by the Heavenly Origin,” of Li Chunfeng 李 淳風 mentioned in the Nan hua zhen jing yi hai zuan wei 南華真經義海纂微, “Edition of Subtleties from the Ocean of Meanings in the Nan hua zhen jing,” of Song writer Chu Boxiu 褚伯秀. If this identification is correct, then the book probably dates to the Tang 唐 dynasty. Citations of the text are rare, but some are found in the → Pi ya 埤雅.

Cai Tao was the son of → Cai Jing 蔡京, one of the “six traitors” that were made responsible for the Song decline. After the defeat of his father, Cai was banished and lived at Mount Tie wei 鐵 圍, thus the name of his book. The book describes many words and deeds of Cai Jing in a very favourable manner. It also contains information about Northern Song institutions, hearsay, and historical incidents. Contents are very detailed, and the information on certain pharmaceutical substances far exceeds similar material found in other sources. LSZ mistakenly cites the book as Tie wei shan cong hua 鐵圍山叢話, “Collected Talks of Mount Tie wei” [3] in his bibliographical sections and the main text and also refers to it as Cai Tao cong tan 蔡絛叢談, “Collected Talks of Cai Tao,” [2], as Cai Tao cong hua 蔡絛叢話, “Collected Talks of Cai Tao,” [1], or by the name of the author alone as Cai Tao [2].

It is divided into eight chapters on topics such as administrative districts or food and commodities. The Tong dian is based upon an adaptation of the classics and histories, literary collections, memorials to the throne, etc. It also touches on local products and pharmaceuticals from remote areas of the empire.

Tong jun 桐君 [44] Legendary, ancient sage of herbal medicine ranked with → Huang di 黃帝 and → Shen nong 神農 in historical texts. Sometimes considered the author of early books on pharmaceutics, therefore his name is used in reference to various books (see below). Since famous physicians were worshiped in the temples of the Three Primordial Sovereigns (san huang 三皇) during the Yuan 元 and Ming 明 dynasties, the legend of Tong jun was known to LSZ, who considers him one of the ministers from the period of the Yellow Thearch (→ Huang di 黃帝 ). LSZ refers to him in person as Tong jun [2] and Tong 桐 [2].

Even though the Tong zhi was written in classic annal-biography style (ji zhuan ti 紀 傳體), this comprehensive arrangement was new. The text holds 28 brief treatises (lüe 略), five of which included information on clans, the six categories of characters (liu shu 六書), metropolitan areas, botany, and zoology, which was a novelty in historical works. LSZ’s interest in the work is due to the material on worms/ bugs, plants, and medicinals it contains. He refers to the work as Tong zhi [37] or by the name of the author alone as Zheng Qiao [4].

In compiling the Tu jing ben cao, the Song 宋 government sent for specimens and illustrations of pharmaceutical substances from the entire empire. The work contains 780 pharmaceuticals including 103 new ones, backed up by 933 illustrations. The original text is lost, but the entire content was preserved in the → ZLBC. LSZ thought highly of the work for its scholarship and innovation but criticized it for its many inconsistencies in the matching of pharmaceutical explanations and
473 corresponding illustrations. He cites the text as Tu jing ben cao [54], as Tu jing 圖經, “Illustrated Classic,” [294] (sometimes identifying this title by adding the name of the author – Su Song or Su shi 蘇氏, “Mr. Su” – or the time of compilation, that is, Song 宋), but more often by referring to the author directly as Su Song [344] or Song 頌 [1293]. He also quotes the original title Ben cao tu jing [4] in the main text. To the Wai lei sections LSZ refers to as Tu jing wai lei 圖經外 類, “Outer Categories in the Tu jing [ben cao],” [9] and as Wai lei [8].

LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections without naming an author. The → Ziwei furen zhu xu 紫微夫人术序 material he cites as from the Tu na jing is taken from the Tai ping yu lan, which attributes the same material to a Xian jing 仙經, “Classic of Immortals.” Thus, LSZ’s reference to the Tu na jing is apparently an error.

One recipe is quoted in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方.

LSZ cites it as Wan wei lu 宛委錄, “The Wan wei Records,” [1] in his bibliographical sections and as Wang shi wan wei lu, “The Wan wei Records of Mr. Wang,” [1] in the main text. The story cited is found in Wang’s Yanzhou shanren si bu gao 弇州山人四部稿, “Draft in Four Parts by the Hermit of Yan zhou,” in an appended text titled Wan wei yu bian.

Wang Fangping 王方平 [1] Western Han 漢 hermit. He left his career as an official to live in seclusion.

Wang Su is said to have forged the → Kong zi jia yu 孔子家語 in order to create a ground for the argument of his own Sheng zheng lun 聖證論, “Discourse on Sagely Proofs.” LSZ, following the mistake of previous authors, mentions him in a second hand quotation from the → Bo wu zhi 博物志 , but this is actually Wang Er 王尒 (AV Wang Er 王 爾) and not Wang Su at all.

Wang held the position of Censorate Minister (tai ge 臺閣) for 20 years, during which he was able to access a vast amount of books at the Institute for the Advancement of Books (hong wen guan 弘文館), thus the designation “Outer Censorate Official” (wai tai 外臺) used in the title of his famous book, the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方.

He was famed for his poetry, painting and musical skills. His collection is the Wang you cheng ji 王右丞集, “Collection of Assistant Director Wang.” LSZ refers to the poetic part of this collection as → Wang Wei shi ji 王維詩集.

499 imitate the cries of birds. The → Hou Han shu 後漢書 contains the biography of a historical person called Wang Qiao 王喬, which states that Wang was a man of He dong 河東 in present-day Shan xi 山西 who was in possession of divine techniques. Some consider this to be the ancient immortal Wang Ziqiao. According to the → Yu han fang 玉函方, Wang ingested a recipe with chrysanthemum flowers, and this is taken over by LSZ in SE ju 菊. Wang Zuo 王佐 (15th century) [2] Ming dynasty writer. Style name Gongzai 功載, a man of Ji shui 吉水 in Ji zhou 吉州, now part of Jiang xi 江西. He supplemented the Ge gu yao lun 格古要論, “Essential Discourses on the Investigation of Ancient Things,” of → Cao Zhao 曹昭 in 1459, to produce a much expanded work called Xin zeng ge gu yao lun 新增格古要論. “Newly Expanded Essential Discourses on the Investigation of Ancient Things.” LSZ confuses this work and the original text by Cao and calls both → Ge gu lun 格古論. Wangwu shanren 王屋山人 → Wang Chang 王常 Wansu 完素 → Liu Wansu 劉完素 Wei Boyang 魏伯陽 [2] This is the style name of Wei Ao 魏翱, an Eastern Han 漢 alchemist. Literary name Yunya zi 雲牙子, “Master of the Flaky Clouds,” a man of Shang yu 上虞 in Kuai ji 會稽, now part of Zhe jiang 浙江. He came from an illustrious family and is said to have loved Daoist arts by his very nature. He wrote the → Can tong qi 參同契 and became a figure of veneration for later Daoists. Wei dan 韋丹 [2] Tang 唐 dynasty high official. Style name Wenming 文明, a man of Wan nian 萬 年 in Jing zhao 京兆, now Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西. During the yuan he 元和 reign period (806-820) he served as Surveillance Commissioner (guan cha shi 觀 察使) in Jiang nan 江南. His administrative achievements were outstanding. His son → Wei Zhou 韋宙 compiled a Ji yan du xing fang 集驗獨行方, “Collected and Proven Single Substance Recipes,” (→ Du xing fang 獨行方), and recipes by Wei Dan himself were transmitted through the ages as well. The → TJBC quotes numerous examples. LSZ cites two such recipes second hand as Wei Dan fang 韋 丹方, “Recipes of Wei Dan,” in his main text. Wei Dan fang 韋丹方 → Wei Dan 韋丹 Wei di 魏邸 Southern Song 宋 official. While he served in Ming zhou 明州, the wife of one of his subordinates suffered from abdominal swelling and anuria. An imperial physician resorted to a powder with gua lou 栝樓 to cure her. This is recorded in the → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方, but LSZ erroneously gives the → Tai ping sheng hui fang 太平聖惠方 as his source, calls Wei Wei Mingzhou 魏明州 [1], and turns him into the diseased person. Wei furen 魏夫人, “Lady Wei” (252-334) This is another name for the female Daoist Wei Huacun 魏華存. Style name Bao’an 賢安, a native of Cheng tan 城樊 in Jin ren 晉任, in the southwest of
500 present-day Ji yuan 濟源 in He nan 河南. She was the daughter of the Minister of Education (si tu 司徒) Wei Shu 魏舒 and the wife of Liu Wen 劉文. Lady Wei is said to have shown interest in literature as a girl, especially in Daoist teachings, and to have later retired to Heng shan 衡山 to cultivate the Dao. After her death she was canonized by the Daoists as Zixu Yuanjun Nan yue furen 紫虛元君南嶽夫人, “The Original Sovereign of the Purple Vacuity and Lady of Nan yue.” The → ZLBC cites two recipes from a Zi ling yuan jun Nan yue furen nei chuan 紫靈元君南嶽夫人内傳, “Esoteric Transmission by the Lady of Nan yue, the Original Sovereign of the Purple Numinosity,” this title not standing for any biography (zhuan 傳) but for recipes transmitted (chuan 傳) by her. Other Tang 唐 and pre-Tang sources also quote her recipes, which were erroneously attributed to a → Nan yue Wei furen zhuan 南岳魏夫人傳. LSZ refers to her as Wei furen [2] and as Wei yuan jun 魏元君 [1]. Wei guo gong 魏國公 → Su Song 蘇頌 Wei hang ji tan 葦航紀談, “recorded Conversations from Wei hang” Southern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記), erroneously written Wei hang xi tan 韋航細談, “Detailed Discussions from Wei hang,” [2] by LSZ.

The book records ancedotes from the entire Song period and gets its material from the Ping zhou ke tan 萍州 可談, “Topics for Conversation from Ping zhou,” and other sources. The Shuo fu preserves much of its content. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text as Wei han xi tan but does not indicate an author. His citation in the main text is changed somewhat compared to the equivalent in the Shuo fu. Wei hang xi tan 韋航細談 → Wei hang ji tan 葦航紀談 Wei Jidao 魏幾道 [1] Southern Song 宋 literatus, fl. 2nd half of the 12th century. → Hong Mai 洪邁, in his → Yijian zhi 夷堅志, reports that Wei was once poisoned by eating huang sang yu 黃顙魚 and drinking jing jie 荊芥 tea afterwards. LSZ cites this second hand in SE jia su 假蘇. Wei Ju 韋居 [1] Person of uncertain identity. LSZ mentions this person as a source for alternative names for feng xian 鳳仙 and mo li 茉莉, but his source for this information is unknown. Wei ling xian zhuan 威靈仙傳, “Notes on Clematis root” [2] Specialized text on clematis root (wei ling xian 威靈仙). EE → TJBC. Written by → Zhou Junchao 周君巢. The text contains information on the herb’s indications, properties, dosage, etc. DC zhen yuan 貞元 reign period (785-805). The original text is lost, but the TJBC quotes fragments. LSZ cites the text second hand in his bibliographical sections and the main text.

FE Jiu Tang shu jing ji zhi 舊唐書經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the Old History of the Tang.” Written by Yu Huan 魚豢. DC Three Kingdoms period. 50 juan (AV 38 juan). The grouping of biographies is different to those found in other historical works, there are categories such as “the virtuous and upright” (qing jie 清介), “Confucian masters” (ru zong 儒宗), or “the brave and fearless” (yong xia 勇俠). Although the book is lost, some of its content is found in notes to the → San guo zhi 三國志 and other books. It is also cited in the → Ben cao shi yi 本 草拾遺. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections without mentioning the name of the author. In the main text of the BCGM he cites the book second hand from the Ben cao shi yi but also includes other lost passages. Wei Mingzhou 魏明州 → Wei Di 魏邸 Wei sheng 衛生 → Wei sheng yi jian fang 衛生易簡方 Wei sheng bao jian 衛生寶鑒, “Precious Mirror to Protect Life” Yuan 元 dynasty comprehensive medical text.

Recipes in the collection are either recipes collected from other works or recipes that the author considered effective from his own experiences. The book is still extant but rare, and LSZ gets his material from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方. He cites the book as Wei sheng jia bao fang [25], as Wei sheng jia bao 衛生 家寶, “Family Jewels for Protecting Life,” [1], and as Jia bao fang 家寶方, “Recipes Treasured by the Family,” [2].

The collection includes nearly 4000 Ming and pre-Ming single ingredient or simple recipes considered proven by the author, all categorized by disease. Much material from now lost books was included. LSZ refers to the book as Wei sheng yi jian fang [110], as Wei sheng yi jian 衛生易簡, “Easy and Simple [Recipes] for Protecting Life,” [10] or Yi jian 易簡, “Easy and Simple,” [2], as Wei sheng fang 衛生方, “Recipes for Protecting Life,” [7], as Yi jian fang 易簡方, “Easy and Simple Recipes,” [1], and as Wei sheng 衛生, “Protecting Life,” [1]. He occasionally uses the name Hu Ying [3] alone to mark his citations and frequently labels the book titles with the author’s name. In addition, there are also many names of pharmaceutical substances, e.g., zui yu cao 醉 魚草, shuang tou lian 雙頭蓮, or tian xian lian 天仙蓮, that go back to the Lü chan yan ben cao 履巉岩本草, “Materia Medica Found Walking on Steep Mountainsides,” of Wang Jie 王介 but were cited second hand from the Wei sheng yi jian fang by LSZ. Wei sheng za xing 衛生雜興, “Impromptu Poems on Protecting Life” Lost Ming 明 dynasty medical recipe book. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Deng Cai 鄧才 (style name Bifeng 筆峰). DC and size uncertain. The book was apparently lost early and is not found in Ming and Qing 清 bibliographies. LSZ cites the book as Wei sheng za xing [2], as Za xing fang 雜興方, “Recipes from Impromptu Poems,” [18], Za xing 雜興, “Impromptu Poems,” [14], as Deng Bifeng fang 鄧筆峰方, “Recipes of Deng Bifeng,” [2], or as Bifeng fang 筆峰方, “Recipes of [Deng] Bifeng,” [1].

DC 1337. 19 juan. The book collected family recipes from five generations as well as recipes from other sources and classified its material into the 13 medical disciplines accepted at the time. LSZ cited the book as Wei shi de xiao fang [54], as Wei shi de xiao 危氏得效, “Mr. Wei Obtains [Good] Results,” [2], as De xiao fang 得效方, “Recipes to Obtain [Good] Results,” [5], as Wei shi fang 危氏方, “Recipes of Mr. Wei,” [14], and just referring to the author’s name as Wei shi 危氏, “Mr. Wei,” [10]. LSZ also refers to a Tang shi de xiao fang 唐氏得效方, “ Mr. Tang’s Recipes to Obtain [Good] Results,” [1] and a Ruan shi fang 阮氏方, “Recipe of Mr. Ruan,” [1], but both are errors for Wei shi de xiao fang, as is one reference to a → Ruan shi 阮氏 alone. Wei shi fang 危氏方 → Wei shi de xiao fang 危氏得效方 Wei shu 緯書, “apocryphal Books” Category of books on divination and apocrypha (chen wei 讖緯). The term wei shu was intended as a counterpart to the classics (jing shu 經書). These books contained material on religion and traditional mythology, astronomical, calendrical, and geographical knowledge, as well as heterodox interpretations of Confucian classics. There are seven sets of wei shu (the qi wei 七緯) corresponding to the then seven Confucian classics. Such texts started circulating in late Western Han 漢 times and gradually became more and more popular throughout the Eastern Han. They were finally prohibited by → Sui Yang di 隋煬帝 and therefore not transmitted further, but fragments were preserved in various historical works and encyclopedias. LSZ cites second hand from these encyclopedias, referring to the wei shu [2] as a general term and to specific wei shu (often those covering the → Chun qiu 春秋 ) such as the → Chun qiu ti ci 春秋題辭, the → Chun qiu yuan ming bao 春秋元命包, the → Chun qiu kao yi you 春秋考異郵, the → Chun qiu yun dou shu 春秋運斗樞, and the → Chun qiu qian tan ba 春秋 潛潭巴. Much of what he quotes is taken from the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. Wei shu 魏書, “History of the Wei” History of the Wei 魏 dynasty, written during the Northern Qi 齊 in annal-biography style (ji zhuan ti 紀傳體). Written by Wei Shou 魏收. DC 551-554. 130 juan. The book includes the history of the Northern and Eastern Wei dynasties but not that of Western Wei. Already lost by Northern Song 宋 times, it was
504 subsequently restored from material in the → Bei shi 北史. LSZ cites the book as Wei shu [2], and three fragments cited as from a → Hou Wei shu 後魏書 are actually taken from the Wei shu. LSZ apparently mixed up the two books and regarded them as one. Wei Shu 韋述 (died 757) [2] Tang 唐 dynasty high official. A man of Wan nian 萬年 in Jing zhao 京兆, now Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西. Jin shi during the jing long 景龍 reign period (707710). Wei held various court posts and has a biography in the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐 書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書). He had a literary reputation and wrote more than 200 juan of books including the Tang zhi yi 唐職儀, “Tang Legal System and Official Posts,” the Gao zong shi lu 高宗實錄, “Veritable Records of Gao zong,” and the Liang jing xin ji 兩京新記, “New Records of the Two Capitals.” (→ Liang jing ji 兩京記).

DC 6th century. The original book is lost, but fragments are preserved in the → Qi min yao shu 齊民 要術, the Tai ping yu lan, and other works. One fragment is also quoted in the → ZLBC, and this is taken over by LSZ, who also uses material from the Tai ping yu lan. Wei Wen di 魏文帝 (187-226) [7] This is Cao Pi 曹丕, founder of the Three Kingdoms state of Wei 魏, r. 220-226. Style name Zihuan 子桓, a man of Qiao xian 譙縣 in Pei guo 沛國, now Bo zhou 亳州 in An hui 安徽. Son of Cao Cao 曹操 (→ Wei Wu di 魏武帝). He is said to have loved literature and wrote some important theoretical texts. He is associated with a lost → Wei Wen di ji 魏文帝集, which was later reconstructed.

FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍 志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by Cao Pi 曹丕, (→ Wei Wen di 魏文帝). 10 juan (AV 23 juan). The original text is lost, but frag-
505 ments are found in the → Chu xue ji 初學記, the → Tai ping huan yu ji 太平寰宇 記, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other books. There is a Ming 明 edition that was restored from these fragments. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections as Wei Wen di ji [1] but does not cite it directly in the main text. Material referenced to Wei Wen di, however, probably goes back to this collection and is cited second hand from other sources. Wei Wu di 魏武帝 (155-220) [6] This is Cao Cao 曹操, a late Han 漢 statesman and military commander, posthumously regarded as the first emperor of the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period. Style name Mengde 孟德, a man of Qiao xian 譙縣, now Bo zhou 亳州 in An hui 安徽. Father of Cao Pi 曹丕 (→ Wei Wen di 魏文帝) and → Cao Zhi 曹植. LSZ attributes the → Wei Wu di shi zhi 魏武帝食制 and the → Wei Wu di ji 魏武帝集 to him. He also cites events related to Wei Wu di second hand from the → Bo wu zhi 博物志 , the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺, and other texts. Wei Wu di fu 魏武帝賦 → Wei Wu di ji 魏武帝集 Wei Wu di ji 魏武帝集, “Collection of Emperor Wu of Wei” Collection of writings by Cao Cao 曹操 (→ Wei Wu di 魏武帝). The original book is lost, but there is a Ming 明 edition restored from fragments. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections as Wei Wu di ji [1] but does not cite it in the main text. He does, however cite a Wei Wu di fu 魏武帝賦, “Rhapsody by Emperor Wu of Wei,” [1], which might have been taken from the Wei Wu di ji. Wei Wu di shi zhi 魏武帝食制, “Food Preparations of Emperor Wu of Wei” Dietary text attributed to Cao Cao 曹操 (→ Wei Wu di 魏武帝) of the Three Kingdoms period. FE bibliographical treatise of the Yu hai 玉海, “Jade Ocean.” AN originally Wei Wu si shi shi zhi 魏武四時食制, “Food Preparations of Emperor Wu of Wei, According to the Four Seasons.” DC and size uncertain. LSZ lists the text as Wei Wu di shi zhi [1] in his bibliographical sections and as Wei Wu shi zhi 魏武食制, “Food Preparations of Wei Wu,” [5] in the main text. Wei Wu shi zhi 魏武食制 → Wei Wu di shi zhi 魏武帝食制 Wei Xiang wang 魏襄王, “King Xiang of Wei” (died 296 BCE) [1] This is Ji Si 姬嗣 (AV Ji He 姬赫), king of the Warring States period state of Wei 魏, r. 318-296 BCE.

Wei xiu cai 魏秀才, “Cultivated Talent Wei” [1] Person who passed the provincial imperial exams during the Ming 明 dynasty and obtained the degree of xiu cai 秀才, “Cultivated Talent.” Details about his life are unavailable. According to the → Bi shui ji yan fang 避水集驗方, his wife was cured from a bloated abdomen by consuming a quail. LSZ cites this in SE chun 鶉. Wei yanshen 魏彥深 [1] Northern Qi 齊/Sui 隋 dynasty literatus, fl. 2nd half of 6th century. Served as Editorial Director (zhu zuo lang 著作郎). His works are preserved in the Wei
506 Yanshen ji 魏彥深集, “Collection of Wei Yanshen.” LSZ cites his → Ying fu 鷹 賦. Wei yilin 危亦林 (1277-1347) Yuan 元 dynasty medical official. Style name Dazhai 達齋, a man of Nan feng 南 豐, now a part of Jiang xi 江西. Wei held a medical post in his home area and is said to have been a doctor in the fifth generation. He thus drew upon his family’s recipes as well as on those transmitted in medical works to produce the Shi yi de xiao fang 世醫得效方, “Recipes of Generations of Physicians to Obtain [Good] Results,” (→ Wei shi de xiao fang 危氏得效方). LSZ refers to Wei as Wei Yilin [5], as Wei shi 危氏, “Mr. Wei,” [80], and, in Tang shi de xiao fang 唐氏得效方, “Mr. Tang’s Recipes to Obtain [Good] Results,” erroneously as Tang shi 唐氏, “Mr. Tang”, [1]. Wei yuan jun 魏元君 → Wei furen 魏夫人 Wei yun 韋雲 [1] Early Tang 唐 person. Details about his life are unavailable. According to the → Gu jin lu yan fang 古今錄驗方, he suffered from pain in his heart for ten years without being cured. Eventually he ingested the lice gathered from a crane and was cured. This story is recorded in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外台秘要方 and the → TJBC. LSZ cites the story second hand in SE tian ming jing 天名精 but erroneously assigns the Gu jin lu yan fang to the Song 宋 author → Chu Yushi 初虞世. Wei Zhaizi 未齋子 [1] Ming 明 dynasty person. A man of Nan ling 南陵. Personal name unknown. LSZ quotes the → Han shi yi tong 韓氏醫通, stating that Wei was relieved from an illness by taking the “decoction with three seeds to nourish one’s parents” (san zi yang qin tang 三子養親湯). The Han shi yi tong edition extant today only provides the name of the recipe and its application; the remaining story is missing. LSZ mentions Wei in SE bai jie 白芥. Wei Zheng 魏徵 (580-643) [2] Early Tang 唐 political figure. Style name Xuancheng 玄成. His family was originally from Ju lu 鉅鹿, now part of He bei 河北, but later moved to Nei huang 內黃 in Xiang zhou 相州, now part of He nan 河南. Wei Zheng was part of the insurgent forces against the late Sui 隋 dynasty and followed the rebel leader Li Mi 李密 in his submission to the Tang. Under the Tang emperor Tai zu 太祖, he was awarded an offical post and was enfeoffed as Duke of the State of Zheng (Zheng guo gong 鄭國公). He is among those political figures quoted in the Zhen guan zheng yao 貞觀政要, “Government Essentials of the Zhen guan Reign Period.” He chaired the compilation of the → Sui shu 隋書 as well as writing introductions to the → Liang shu 梁書, the Chen shu 陳書, “History of the Chen,” and the Bei Qi shu 北齊書, “History of Northern Qi.” LSZ attributes the Sui shu to Wei and cites an event associated with him from the → Du yi zhi 獨異志.
507 Wei Zhi 魏直 [3] Ming 明 dynasty physician, fl. early 16th century. Style name Tingbao 廷豹, literary name Guiyan 桂岩, “Cinnamon Rock.” A man of Xiao shan 蕭山 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江. He was well known for his medical skills, especially for his treatment of “smallpox papules” (dou zhen 痘疹), and composed the → Bo ai xin jian 博愛心鑒 in 1525. Wei zhi 魏志 → San guo zhi 三國志 Wei Zhou 韋宙 (died 866) [18] Tang 唐 dynasty high official. A man of Wan nian 萬年 in Jing zhao 京兆, now Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西. Wei served in various high central government offices and was the author of the → Du xing fang 獨行方. Wei Zhuang 韋莊 (c. 836-910) [1] Five Dynasties poet of Former Shu 蜀. Style name Duanji 端己, a man of Du ling 杜陵 in Chang an 長安, in the southeast of present-day Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西. He served as Rectifier of Omissions of the Left (zuo bu que 左補闕) and was the author of the You xuan ji 又玄集, “Collection of Mysteries upon Mysteries.” In his preface he states that when eating horse one should leave out the liver because it is polluted. LSZ takes over the fragment “when eating horse leave out the liver” (shi ma liu gan 食馬留肝) in SE ma 馬. Wei Zicai 魏子才 [6] This is the style name of Wei Xiao 魏校, a Ming 明 dynasty lexicographer and high official. A man of Kun shan 崑山 in present-day Jiang su 江蘇, jin shi 1505. Wei held high posts in the Nan jing 南京 administration and was known for his knowledge of Confucianism and the six categories of characters (liu shu 六書). He was the author of the Da xue zhi gui 大學指歸, “The Intention of the Great Learning,” and the → Liu shu jing yun 六書精蘊. Wen Cheng 文成 [1] Western Han 漢 master of recipes (fang shi 方士). Personal name Shaoweng 少 翁, a man of Qi 齊. When he presented divine recipes to Emperor → Han Wu di 漢武帝, he was awarded the title Wen cheng jiang jun 文成將軍, “General of Wen cheng,” and was therefore called Wen Cheng. Later the emperor found out that Wen’s words were false and he had him killed, pretending that Wen had died from consuming horse liver. This is reported in the → Shi ji 史記 and taken over by LSZ in SE ma 馬. Wen daoren 聞道人, “Heard from a daoist” [1] General reference to Daoist alchemists. The → Ben cao yan yi 本草衍義, citing → Ji Kang 嵇康, states: “I heard the final words of a Daoist, saying that ingesting atractylodes and solomon’s seal promotes longevity.” This text originates from the → Jin shu 晉書, which writes daoshi 道士, “Daoist Master,” instead of daoren 道 人, “Daoist” and adds: “I am inclined to believe this.” That an ingestion of atractylodes (zhu 术) and solomon’s seal (huang jing 黃精) takes material weight off the human body and extends one’s lifespan was recorded as early as the → Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經. Hence the “Daoist” LSZ is referring to in SE zhu
508 术 is not to be identified as a specific person but refers to Daoists nurturing life in general. Wen di 文帝 → Sui Wen di 隋文帝 Wen Jiao 溫嶠 (288-329) [2] Eastern Jin 晉 high official. Style name Taizhen 太真, a man of Qi xian 祁縣 in Tai yuan 太原. He has a biography in the → Jin shu 晉書. LSZ takes over a story from the → Shi wen lei ju 事文類聚 about Wen burning rhino horn (xi jiao 犀 角) to illuminate the waters beneath an islet. Wen Jushi fang 溫居士方 → Wen Yinju hai shang fang 溫隱居海上方 Wen Lugong 文潞公 (1006-1097) This is the nickname of Wen Yanbo 文彥博, a Northern Song 宋 high official. Style name Kuanfu 寬夫, a man of Jie xi 介休 in Fen zhou 汾州, now part of Shan xi 山西. Jin shi during the reign of → Song Ren zong 宋仁宗 (r. 10221064). After having assisted in some important government decisions, he was enfeoffed as Duke of the State of Lu (Lu guo gong 潞國公), thus his nickname Lugong 潞公, “Duke of Lu.” Wen was in high office for more than 50 years and was the author of two medical books, the → Yao zhun 藥准 and the Jie yao ben cao tu 節要本草圖, “Short and Essential Materia Medica Illustrations.” Wen rengui 聞人規 [7] Southern Song 宋 physician, fl. 13th century. A man of Zui li 槜李, now Jia xing 嘉興 in Zhe jiang 浙江. Author of the → Dou zhen ba shi yi lun 痘疹八十一論. Wen shi 文氏, “Mr. Wen” [1] Late Eastern Han 漢 person. A man of Nan yang 南陽 in present-day He nan 河南.

When after decades he returned home, his complexion looked younger than before. LSZ mentions him in SE zhu 术. Wen Tianxiang 文天祥 (1236-1283) [1] Southern Song 宋 general, high official and poet. Style name Fushan 履善, literary name Wenshan 文山, “Literary Mountain.” A man of Lu ling 廬陵 in Ji zhou 吉州, now Ji an 吉安 in Jiang xi 江西. When the Southern Song dynasty perished in 1276, he continued to fight against the Mongols until he was captured in 1279. Eventually he was taken north and killed in Da du 大都 (present-day Bei jing 北京). LSZ reports the story of his unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide by using bing pian 冰片 in SE long nao xiang 龍腦香. Wen wang 文王 [2] This is Ji Chang 姬昌, or Zhou Wen wang 周文王, leader of the Zhou 周 state between BCE 1096-1045. LSZ, in citing → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景, makes him and → Kong zi 孔子 the originators of the → Tuan xiang yao ci 彖象繇辭 aspects of the → Zhou yi 周易.
509 Wen wei 溫尉, “Commandant Wen” [1] Southern Song 宋 official, fl. during the shao ding 紹定 reign period (1228-1233). The Shou qin yang lao xin shu 壽親養老新書, “New Book of Prolonging One’s Parents’ Lives and Nourishing the Elderly,” (→ Feng qin yang lao shu 奉親養老 書) cites a recipe to strengthen the teeth and blacken the beard from a Zi hu Wen Wei xu 紫壺溫尉序, “Preface by Commandant Wen of Zi hu.” This preface informs of the circumstances of the acquisition of that recipe by → Na He 納合. LSZ mentions Wen in SE li chang 鱧腸. Wen xi 文系 → Shi xi 史系 Wen xian tong kao 文獻通考, “Comprehensive Study of Literary and documentary Sources” [1] Yuan 元 dynasty historical work. FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by → Ma Duanlin 馬端臨. DC 1307. 348 juan. The author gives an explanation of the title in his preface, stating that the literary sources (wen 文) he used were historical works and classics, and the documentary sources (xian 獻) consisted of memorials to the emperor and discussions among scholars and officials, dating from Tang 唐 and later. The book’s coverage, in fact, extends from ancient times down to the reign of → Song Ning zong 宋寧宗 (1194-1224) and shows the evolution of decrees, regulations and government institutions. It follows the pattern of the → Tong dian 通典 but is far more detailed. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not refer to it directly in his main text. Wen xuan 文選, “Selections of Literature” Important Liang 梁 dynasty anthology. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Compiled by Xiao Tong 蕭統. AN Zhaoming wen xuan 昭明文選, “Selections of Literature by [Crown Prince] Zhaoming.” 30 juan. The collection is China’s earliest of its kind and preserves much pre-Qin 秦 to Liang literature, mainly poetry but also some other miscellaneous writings. It contains no classics, philosophical works, or histories. During Tang 唐 times → Li Shan 李善 produced an annotated version in 60 juan. The → ZLBC frequently quotes Li’s edition, as does LSZ in his bibliographical sections, but the material quoted in the BCGM’s main text is always from the original book. LSZ cites the work as Wen xuan [7] and also refers to the Wu du fu zhu 吳都賦注, “Annotated Rhapsody on the Capital of Wu,” [1] from the Wen xuan, to the Wen xuan zhu 文選注, “Annotations to the Wen xuan,” [1], and to the Zhu wen xuan 注文選, “Annotated Wen xuan,” [2]. Many lost texts cited in the BCGM are also found in the Wen xuan, e.g., the → Rui ming li 瑞明禮 fragment cited second hand from the ZLBC actually goes back to Xiao Tong’s collection. The author Xiao Tong (501-531), style name Deshi 德施, was a Southern Liang literatus and the eldest son of → Liang Wu di 梁武帝. He was given the posthumous name Zhaoming 昭明, thus the title Zhaoming wen xuan. Wen xuan zhu 文選注 → Wen xuan 文選
510 Wen yinju 溫隱居 [5] This is the nickname of Wen Daming 溫大明, a Southern Song 宋 physician. In his later years Wen lived in seclusion, thus his nickname Wen Yinju 溫隱居, “Wen the Hermit,” or Wen Jushi 溫居士, “Wen the Recluse.” Originally from He nan 河南, he later moved to Si ming 四明, now Ning bo 寧波 in Zhe jiang 浙江. He came from a family of hereditary physicians and during the jia ding 嘉 定 reign period (1208-1224) held a military post and one at the imperial apothecary. In 1216 he compiled his family’s recipes, recipes collected during his own 40 years of clinical experience, recipes from older literature, as well as various recipes that he had obtained from foreign visitors, to produce the Wen Yinju zhu dao fang fu yao xu zhi 溫隱居助道方服藥須知, “What Must Be Known when Taking Wen the Hermit’s Recipes to Assist the Dao,” cited by LSZ as → Wen Yinju hai shang fang 溫隱居海上方. Wen Yinju fang 溫隱居方 → Wen Yinju hai shang fang 溫隱居海上方 Wen Yinju hai shang fang 溫隱居海上方, “Wen the Hermit’s recipes from abroad” Song 宋 dynasty medical recipe book. FE Bai jia ming shu 百家名書, “Famous Books of the Hundred Traditions.” AN originally Wen Yinju zhu dao fang fu yao xu zhi 溫隱居助道方服藥須知, “What Must Be Known when Taking Wen the Hermit’s Recipes to Assist the Dao,” Ming 明 editions Wen Yinju hai shang xian fang 溫隱居海上仙方, “Wen the Hermit’s Immortals’ Recipes from Abroad,” Hai shang xian fang qian ji 海上仙方前集, “Earlier Collection of Immortals’ Recipes from Abroad.” Written by Wen Daming 溫大明 (→ Wen Yinju 溫隱 居). DC 1216. 1 juan. The book condenses pharmaceutical recipes into 77 rhymed formulas, providing explanations to each formula. At the beginning of the Ming dynasty, the text was sometimes bound with the Sun zhenren hai shang xian fang 孫真人海上仙方, “Sun the Perfected One’s Immortals’ Recipes from Abroad,” also called Hai shang fang hou ji 海上仙方後集, “Later Collection of Immortals’ Recipes from Abroad.” LSZ cites the book as Wen Yinju hai shang fang [3] in his bibliographical sections and the main text. He also refers to it using the author’s nickname Wen Yinju [1] or by the abbreviations Wen Yinju fang 溫隱居 方, “Recipes of Wen the Hermit,” [1] and Wen Jushi fang 溫居士方, “Recipes of Wen the Recluse,” [1]. Occasionally, the text might be referred to as → Hai shang fang 海上方, but this title also applies to a variety of other texts, so the reference is not clear. Wen yuan ying hua 文苑英華, “Flowers and Blossoms in the Literary Garden” Song 宋 dynasty anthology. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song .” Compiled by → Li Fang 李昉, Hu Meng 扈蒙, → Xu Xuan 徐鉉, Song Bai 宋白, → Su Yijian 蘇易簡, and others. DC 982-986. 1000 juan. The collection is a continuation of the → Wen xuan 文選 and comprises literature from late Liang 梁 down to Tang 唐 times, thereby preserving a good deal of rare Tang and pre-Tang poetry and prose. LSZ lists the collection as Wen yuan ying hua [1] in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it directly in his main text. Some of the material there, however, such as fragments
511 from the → Dongfang Qiu fu 東方虯賦 or the → Guang yi ji 廣異記, was probably cited second hand from the collection. Wen zi ji lüe 文字集略, “Collected Summary of Literary Characters” [1] Liang 梁 dynasty lexicographical text. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by Ruan Xiaoxu 阮孝 緒 (479-536). 6 juan (AV 3 juan, 1 juan). The original text is lost, but fragments are preserved in the Song 宋 dynasty → Guang yun 廣韻 and other books. LSZ does not list the text in his bibliographical sections but cites it second hand in the main text. Wen zi zhi gui 文字指歸, “The Intentions of Written Language” [3] Lost Sui 隋 dynasty book of words and phrases. FE Jiu Tang shu jing ji zhi 舊唐 書經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the Old History of the Tang.” Written by → Cao Xian 曹憲. 4 juan. Cao held office as Scholar of the Secret Secretariat (mi shu xue shi 秘書學士) and, deeply interested in language as he was, authored many texts on this topic. His book still survived in Ming 明 times. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text but does not refer to the author in connection with it. The material he uses is not found in other books. Wen’an gong 文安公 → Hong Wen’an 洪文安 Wenbo 文伯 → Xu Wenbo 徐文伯 Wencheng huang hou 溫成皇后, “Empress Wencheng” (died 1054) [1] Favored concubine of → Song Ren zong 宋仁宗, posthumously bestowed with the title Huang hou 皇后, “Empress.” LSZ reports her fondness for eating kumquats in SE jin ju 金橘. Weng tian yu 瓮天語, “Words of One Who Knows Little of the World” [2] This is LSZ’s designation for the Xue zhou cuo yu 雪舟脞語, “Trivial Conversations from the Snow Boat,” a late Song 宋, early Yuan 元 collection of brush note stories (bi ji xiao shuo 筆記小説). FE Tian lu lin lang shu mu 天祿琳琅書目, “Catalogue of Precious Books in the Possession of the Empire.“ AN Xue zhou cuo tan 雪舟脞談, “Trivial Conversations from the Snow Boat,” Weng tian cuo yu 瓮天脞語, “Trivial Conversations of One Who Knows Little of the World.” LSZ abbreviates the latter title leaving out the cuo 脞. Written by → Shao Guizi 邵桂子. 20 juan, of which 1 juan survives. In the title, cuo means “trivialities,” while Xue zhou 雪舟 was the name of the author’s pavilion on the lakeside. The book assembles poetry, prose and literary allusions. Most of the book is lost, but the → Shuo fu 説郛 preserves some of its contents. The Wan wei shan tang 宛委 山堂 edition of this collection attributes the Xue zhou cuo yu to Wang Zhonghui 王仲暉, while the Shang wu yin shu guan 商務印書館 edition refers it to Shao Guizi, which is probably correct. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text, but the material quoted is not found in that form in the Shuo fu but seems to have been taken from the Dan qian yu lu 丹鉛餘錄, “Extra Records of Cinnabar and Lead,” (→ Dan qian lu 丹鉛錄) instead. Wenming 文明 → Xu Zhicai 徐之才 Wu 吳 → Wu Pu 吳普
512 Wu anpin 伍安貧 Liang 梁 dynasty person. A man of Han shou 漢壽 (AV Wu ling 武陵), author of the → Wu ling ji 武陵記. LSZ, following the → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎, refers to him as Wang Anpin 王安貧 [2]. The Yu di ji sheng 輿地紀勝, “Records of Beautiful Places in the World,” of Wang Xiangzhi 王象之, however, calls the author of the Wu ling ji Wu Anpin, and this is generally taken over by later sources. Wu anzhi 吳安之 [1] Yuan 元 dynasty official, served as Station Clerk (tai yuan 臺掾). Further details are unavailable. According to the → De sheng fang jing yan fang 德生堂經驗方, he obtained a powder made from cloves to strengthen the stomach at the inner censorate (nei tai 内臺) and passed it on to → Gai Yunfu 蓋耘夫. LSZ cites this in SE ding xiang 丁香. Wu ben xin shu 務本新書, “a New Book for Emphasis on the root” [2] Apparently lost agricultural text. See bibliography of the BCGM. No author is indicated by LSZ, and the book is not found in the standard bibliographies. The title is cited by → Wang Zhen 王禎 in his → Nong shu 農書 and in the Nong sang ji yao 農桑輯要, “Collected Essentials of Farming and Sericulture,” compiled by the Yuan 元 dynasty ministry of revenue (si nong si 司農司), so the text might be dated to the early Yuan. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text. He does not use the Nong sang ji yao as a source, thus his citations of the Wu ben xin shu were probably taken from the Nong shu. Wu Caolu 吳草廬 → Wu Cheng 吳澄 Wu Ce 吳策 → Wu Lai 吳萊 Wu Cheng 吳澄 (1249-1333) Late Song 宋, early Yuan 元 dynasty scholar. Style name Youqing 幼清, a man of Chong ren 崇仁 in Fu zhou 撫州, now part of Jiang xi 江西. He used the term “grass hut” (cao lu 草廬) after a grass hut he lived in in the title of a poem and thus became known as Caolu xiansheng 草廬先生, “Grass Hut Gentleman,” or Wu Caolu 吳草廬, “Wu Grass Hut.” He held various official posts during the Yuan, including at the Han lin 翰林 Academy. Wu held high the Neo-Confucianist ideas of Zhu Xi 朱熹 (→ Zhu zi 朱子) on the one side and of Lu Jiuyuan 陸九淵 on the other. He was a prolific author whose writings were later collected in the Wu Wenzheng ji 吳文正集, “Collection of Wu Wenzheng,” (titled after his posthumous name Wenzheng 文正, “Literary and Correct”) or Wu Caolu ji 吳草 廬集, “Collection of Wu Caolu.” (→ Cao lu ji 草廬集). LSZ refers to Wu as Wu Cheng [2] and as Wu Caolu [1]. Wu Cheng 務成 → Wu Chengzi 務成子 Wu cheng xiang 武丞相, “Grand Councilor Wu” (758-815) [1] Tang 唐 dynasty poet and official Wu Yuanheng 武元衡. Style name Bocang 伯蒼. A man from Gou shi 緱氏, today's Yan shi 偃師, in He nan 河南. The Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書 has his biography. While he was situated in Shu 蜀, he suffered from a sore on his shin and was cured by applying a mixture of ground horse teeth and dung. This is recorded in the → Bing bu shou ji fang 兵部手集方. The
513 recipe was quoted in the → Zheng lei ben cao 證類本草, and LSZ takes it over in SE ma 馬. Wu Chengzi 務成子 Holy man of ancient times, the legendary teacher of Emperor → Yao 堯. Numerous books were published under his name in later times. According to the Shen xian gan yu zhuan 神仙感遇傳, “Stories of Encounters with Divine Immortals,” (→ Shen xian gan ying pian 神仙感應篇), a recipe for pills with fireflies associated with his name was obtained by a Daoist named → Yin gong 尹 公 who passed it on to the general → Liu Zinan 劉子南. These pills were said to keep away disease and evil qi as well as soldiers of the enemy. The story of the recipe is recorded in the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記 and various other books. LSZ cites this material, referring to Wu as Wu Chengzi [1] and Wu Cheng [1] and mentioning the Shen xian gan ying pian as his source. Wu dai shi 五代史, “History of the Five dynasties” [2] Lost Northern Song 宋 historical work. Two books of that name are transmitted, the Jiu wu dai shi 舊五代史, “Old History of the Five Dynasties,” (DC 972973) by Xue Juzheng 薛居正 and others, and the Xin wu dai shi 新五代史, “New History of Five Dynasties,” (DC 1057) by → Ouyang Xiu 歐陽修. LSZ cites a Wu dai shi without indicating which one he is referring to. The material cited, however, is taken from the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草 as reproduced in the → ZLBC. The Jia you ben cao was completed in 1060, well before the Xin wu dai shi was printed, thus its Wu dai shi reference must be to the Jiu wu dai shi. This text was originally called Liang Tang Jin Han Zhou shu 梁唐晉漢周書, “History of Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou,” since it was divided into five books, each focusing on one of the Five Dynasties. The book gradually fell into oblivion from Jin 金 times on, so there is now no way to compare the material quoted with the original. Wu daozi 吳道子 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty painter. A man of Yang zhai 陽翟, now Yu zhou 禹州 in He nan 河南. During the reign of → Tang Xuan zong 唐玄宗 (r. 712-756) he was a painter at the imperial court, renowned for his paintings of Buddhist personalities. According to rumor, he was ordered by the emperor to paint an image of → Zhong Kui 鐘馗, the legendary expeller of demons. Wu dongshu 武東叔 [1] Southern Song 宋 person. In SE lie jie 烈節, LSZ cites the Jia cang jing yan fang 家藏經驗方, “Proven Recipes Preserved in the Family,” (→ Yang shi jia cang fang 楊氏家藏方) of → Yang Tan 楊倓 with a story of how Yang’s younger cousin Wu Dongshu once suffered from a disease. → Ma Dongzhi 馬東之 of Fu cheng 涪城 successfully treated him. However, this story is not contained in the extant version of the Jia cang jing yan fang. Wu du fu 吳都賦 → San du fu 三都賦 Wu du fu zhu 吳都賦注 → Wen xuan 文選
514 Wu fu jing 五符經, “Classic of the Five Talismans” [5] Abbreviated title of a Daoist book. AN Ling bao wu fu jing 靈寶五符經. “Classic of the Five Talismans of the Numinous Treasure.” The title appears in the → Baopu zi 抱朴子 , and legend has it that the text existed as early as the time of Yu the Great (→ Da Yu 大禹), reputed founder of the Xia 夏 dynasty. It was transmitted through the Warring States period, the two Han dynasties, until Wei 魏 and Jin 晉 times. 3 juan. The present edition is contained in the Dong xuan 洞 玄, “Cavern of Mystery,” section of the Zheng tong Dao zang 正統道藏, “Daoist Canon of the Zheng tong Period,” (→ Dao zang jing 道藏經), with the complete title Tai shang ling bao wu fu xu 太上靈寶五符序, “Preface to the Classic of the Five Talismans of the Highest Numinous Treasure.” It records methods to nurture life by ingesting pharmaceutical preparations. Wu Gang 吳剛 [1] Mythological person, the immortal in the moon palace. According to the → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎, he overindulged in his quest for immortality and was relegated to felling “moon cassia trees” (yue gui 月桂). Wu guan cha 吳觀察, “Surveillance Commissioner Wu” [1] Song 宋 dynasty official. Personal name unknown. The Renzhai xiao er fang lun 仁齋小兒方論, “[Yang] Renzhai’s Discourses and Recipes for [the Treatment of ] Children,” of → Yang Shiying 楊士瀛 lists a recipe transmitted by Wu to cure lockjaw (kou jin 口噤) in children, and LSZ takes this over in SE shi 豕. Wu hou 武后, “Empress Wu” (624-705) [4] This is Wu Zhao 武瞾 (posthumously called Wu Zetian 武則天), wife of → Tang Gao zong 唐高宗 and later Wu Zhou huang di 武周皇帝, “Empress Wu of Zhou,” r. 690-705. A woman of Wen shui 文水 in Bing zhou 并州, now in the east of Wen shui in Shan xi 山西. She is the most controversial female empress in Chinese history. Considerable mythology is associated with her reign and this is the topic of books such as the → Tang Wu hou bie zhuan 唐武后別傳. The → ZLBC contains a story about her use of wu tou 烏頭 poison to eliminate enemies. LSZ also cites some stories, but it remains uncertain where he got his material from. Wu ji 吳紀, “annals of Wu” [2] Western Jin 晉 historical work. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by Huan Ji 環 濟 (→ Huan shi 環氏). DC 3rd century. 10 juan. The text detailed the history of the state of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. The original text is lost, but much of its content is found in the → Chu xue ji 初學記, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other books. LSZ uses material from the Tai ping yu lan. Wu jing da quan 五經大全, “Great Compendium of the Five Classics” [1] Ming 明 dynasty official publication. Compiled by Hu Guang 胡廣 and others at the orders of Ming Cheng zu 明成祖. 154 juan. The book features collections on the five classics, the → Zhou yi 周易, the → Shang shu 尚書 and its commentaries, the → Shi jing 詩經, the → Li ji 禮記, the → Chun qiu 春秋 , and
515 others, the knowledge of which was required for participation in the civil service examinations. LSZ lists the collection in his bibliographical sections without reference to the authors and does not cite it directly in the main text. Wu jing si bu 五經四部, “Five Classics and Four Categories” [1] General term used by LSZ for all kinds of literature. The five classics are the → Shi jing 詩經, the → Shang shu 尚書, the → Li ji 禮記, the → Zhou yi 周易, and the → Chun qiu 春秋 . The “four categories” refer to the ancient classification of texts. The Jin 晉 author Xun Xu 荀勖, in his Zhong jing xin bu 中經新簿, “A New Division of Chinese Classics,” changed the seven bibliographic categories proposed in the Western Han 漢 Qi lüe 七略, “Seven Abstracts,” into four, the A, B, C, and D (jia 甲, yi 乙, bing 丙, and ding 丁) categories, also called the classics (jing 經), histories (shi 史), philosophical works (zi 子), and collections (ji 集). LSZ’s wu jing si bu is thus a general designation for all kinds of books. Wu Jiong 毋煚 Tang 唐 official, who served as Rectifier of Omissions of the Right (you bu que 右補闕) and is said to have been an accomplished scholar and talented writer. In 721 he compiled the Qun shu si bu lu 群書四部錄, “Record of a Multitude of Books Divided into Four Categories,” in 200 juan with some fellow officials but re-edited it himself into a shorter version, the Gu jin shu lu 古今書錄, “Record of Old and New Books,” in 40 juan. He was opposed to drinking tea and wrote a text to elucidate the dangers associated with the consumption of tea. The Tang xin yu 唐新語, “New Talks of the Tang,” calls this text Dai cha lu xu 代茶錄序, “Introduction to the Record on Replacing Tea,” by Wu Xiong 毋焸. The → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 refers to it as Dai cha yin xu 代茶飲序, “Preface to Replacing Tea Drinking,” of Qimu Jing 綦母景, and the → ZLBC writes Cha yin xu 茶飲序, “Preface to Drinking Tea,” by Mu Jing 母景. In SE ming 茗, LSZ cites this second hand as the → Cha xu 茶序 of Wu Jiong 毋炅 [1]. Taking all these writings into account as well as the historical facts about the author found in the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” and Xin Tang shu 新唐書, “New History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書), the correct names of book and author must be Dai cha yin xu 代茶飲序 and Wu Jiong 毋煚. Wu Jiong 毋炅 → Wu Jiong 毋煚 Wu Jun 吳均 (469-520) [1] Liang 梁 dynasty literatus. Style name Shuxiang 叔庠, a man of Gu zhang 故鄣 in Wu xing 吳興, now in the northwest of An ji 安吉 in Zhe jiang 浙江. From a poor and lowly family, Wu is said to have shown remarkable talent for scholarship. He held various official posts but was most skilled at writing in a clear and simple style that was sometimes called the Wu Jun style (Wu Jun ti 吳均體). Wu was the author of the → Xu Qi xie ji 續齊諧記 as well as other books and is attributed the → Xi jing za ji 西京雜記 by some. Wu Kan 吳龕 [1] Qin 秦/Han 漢 dynasty minor official in Yang yi 陽羨, in the south of present-day Yi xing 宜興 in Jiang su 江蘇. Legend has it that he once found a
516 multi-colored stone in the water that transformed into a girl the next evening. This is recorded in the → You ming lu 幽明錄 and taken over by LSZ in SE ren gui 人傀. Wu Lai 吳萊 (1297-1340) Yuan 元 dynasty scholar. Style name Lifu 立夫, original given name Laifeng 來 鳳, posthumous name (given by his disciples) Yuanying xiansheng 淵穎先生, “Gentleman of Deep Intelligence.” A man of Pu yang 浦陽, now Pu jiang 浦 江 in Zhe jiang 浙江. He took the imperial examination when it was reinstated during the yan you 延祐 reign period (1315-1319) but failed. He then retired to Song shan 松山 and became deeply involved with classics and histories. Wu Lai was the teacher of → Song Lian 宋濂. His writing is powerful and resembles Qin 秦 and Han 漢 style writings. A literary collection survives, the → Yuanying ji 淵穎集. LSZ refers to Wu as Wu Lai [1] and in the main text mistakenly as Wu Ce 吳策 [1]. Wu lei jing 五雷經, “Classic of Thunder Magic” [3] Name of a book. See bibliography of the BCGM. No information on author, DC, or size available, and the contents can only be guessed. Probably a Daoist book, but even though the Dao zang 道藏, “Daoist Canon,” (→ Dao zang jing 道藏經) contains many books on methods for thunder magic (wu lei fa 五雷法), none of them is called Wu lei jing. Wu lei xiang gan zhi 物類相感志, “records of the Mutual Influences of Various Categories of Things” Lost Song 宋 dynasty book. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” AN Gan ying lei cong zhi 感應類從志, “Records of Interactions, Organized by Categories.” Written by the monk → Zanning 贊寧 , sometimes falsely attributed to → Su Shi 蘇軾. 10 juan (AV 1 juan, according to the Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness”). The book deals with characteristic phenomena taking place in the course of the mutual engendering of things. The → Shuo fu 説郛 contains some fragments of a Gan ying lei cong zhi by Zanning but also quotes a Wu lei xiang gan zhi by Su Shi. The contents cited seem quite different. According to the Si ku quan shu zong mu ti yao 四庫全書總目提要, “Index and General Bibliography to the Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” the work of Zanning was lost early, and the text people continued quoting was actually a spurious edition. LSZ cites the book as Wu lei xiang gan zhi [18] and Xiang gan zhi 相感志, “Records of Mutual Influences,” [21], attributing it to Zan ning. Many of his citations, however, correspond with fragments from the Wu lei xiang gan zhi of Su Shi as cited in the Shuo fu, and when he does use material from Zan ning’s Gan ying lei cong zhi, he attributes it to → Zhang Hua 張華, mixing it up with this author’s → Gan ying lei cong zhi 感應類從志. Wu li lun 物理論, “discourse on the Principle of Things” [3] Late Wei 魏, early Jin 晉 period book. FE Jiu Tang shu jing ji zhi 舊唐書經 籍志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the Old History of the Tang.” Written by → Yang Quan 楊泉. 16 juan. The book describes the principles of the “ten-thousand
517 things,” touching upon objects of machinery and agriculture. The original text was lost early, but fragments were preserved in the → Qi min yao shu 齊民要術, the → Chu xue ji 初學記, the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other books. LSZ cites the text second hand from these works. Wu ling ji 武陵記, “record of Wu ling” [2] Lost Liang 梁 dynasty geographical text. EE → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎. Written by → Wu Anpin 伍安貧 (AV Wang Anpin 王安貧). The book focuses on the geography and customs of the Wu ling 武陵 area, now Zhang jia jie 張家 界 in Hu nan 湖南. Fragments are found in the You yang za zu. LSZ cites the book second hand and calls the author Wang Anpin. In the Yu di ji sheng 輿地 紀勝, “Records of Beautiful Places in the World,” of Wang Xiangzhi 王象之, by contrast, Wu Anpin is made the author and this is generally taken over by later sources. Wu lu 吳錄, “records of Wu” Lost historical work of Western Jin 晉 times. FE Jiu Tang shu jing ji zhi 舊唐 書經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the Old History of the Tang.” Written by → Zhang Bo 張勃. 30 juan. The books is kept in the annal-biography style (ji zhuan ti 紀傳體) and records the history of the state of Wu 吳 during the Three Kingdoms period. Many fragments are found in the → Bei tang shu chao 北堂書 鈔, the → Chu xue ji 初學記, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other books, but LSZ leaves it unclear, which of these books he took his second-hand quotations from. He cites the whole work as Wu lu [7] and also refers to one individual section as Wu lu di li zhi 吳錄地理志, “Geographical Treatise in the Records of Wu,” [2]. Wu lu di li zhi 吳錄地理志 → Wu lu 吳錄 Wu Meng 吳猛 Jin 晉 dynasty Daoist. Style name Shiyun 世云, a man of Fen ning 分寧 in Yu zhang 豫章, now part of Jiang xi 江西. He has a biography in the → Jin shu 晉書 and is one of the 24 filial sons of ancient times. In Daoist circles he was known as Wu Meng zhenren 吳猛真人, “Wu Meng, the Perfected One.” LSZ associates a → Fu jiao jue 服椒訣 with Wu, referring to him as Wu Meng [1] and Wu Meng zhenren [1]. Wu Meng zhenren 吳猛真人 → Wu Meng 吳猛 Wu Min 吳旻 [7] Ming 明 dynasty literatus, fl. 1st half of the 16th century. Style name Jinshan 近 山, a man of Jiang xia 江夏, now Wu chang 武昌 in Hu bei 湖北. He was interested in a variety of books and collected medical recipes. Author of the → Fu shou jing fang 扶壽精方. Wu Neihan 吳内翰 → Wu Qian 吳幵 Wu Pu 吳普 Famous expert in pharmaceutics from the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdom’s period, a disciple of → Hua Tuo 華佗. A man of Guang ling 廣陵, now Yang zhou 揚州 in Jiang su 江蘇. By editing and supplementing the →
518 Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經 he created the → Wu Pu ben cao 吳普本草. LSZ refers to him as Wu Pu [127], as Pu 普 [158], as Wu shi 吳氏, “Mr. Wu,” [9], and as Wu 吳 [1]. Wu Pu ben cao 吳普本草, “Materia Medica of Wu Pu” Lost CMM. FE → Qi lu 七錄. AN Wu shi ben cao 吳氏本草, “Materia Medica of Mr. Wu.” Written by → Wu Pu 吳普 from the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period. DC early 3rd century. 6 juan (AV 1 juan). Based on the → Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經, the Wu Pu ben cao contained 441 detailed drug descriptions compiled from various sources. The text was lost by Northern Song 宋 times, but fragments are preserved in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the → Chu xue ji 初學記, and other sources. The → Shu ben cao 蜀本草, the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草, and other lost works preserved in the → ZLBC also included fragments of the work. LSZ felt that the Wu Pu ben cao contained a substantial amount of early knowledge and quoted much of its material from the ZLBC. Apart from quoting the book as Wu Pu ben cao [52] or Wu shi ben cao [6], he labels his quotations with the name of the author as Pu 普 [158], Wu Pu [127], Wu shi 吳氏, “Mr. Wu” [3], or simply Wu 吳 [1]. Wu Qian 吳幵 Song 宋 dynasty official. Style name Zhengzhong 正仲, a man of Chu zhou 滁 州 in present-day An hui 安徽, jin shi 1097.

He was the author of a number of books, including the → Huo ren xin tong 活人心統, the → Zhu zheng bian yi 諸證辨疑, and the → Bian min shi liao 便民食療. LSZ refers to Wu as Wu Qiu [22] or Wu shi 吳氏, “Mr. Wu,” [1], frequently labeling material from these books with Wu’s name only, so that the origin of each quote must be determined in each case. Not quoted by LSZ but also surviving is Wu’s Fang mai zhu yi 方脈主意, “Things to Pay Attention to Concerning Recipes and [Movements in the] Vessels.” Wu rui 吳瑞 Yuan 元 dynasty medical official, fl. 1st half of the 14th century.

Wu has a biography in the → Song shi 宋史.
520 Wu Tingshao 吳廷紹 Southern Tang 唐 imperial physician (tai yi ling 太醫令), fl. mid-10th century. He has a biography in the → Nan Tang shu 南唐書. It records Wu’s treatments of emperor → Lie zu 烈祖 and his minister → Feng Yanji 馮延己. LSZ refers to him as Wu Tingshao [3] and as Tingshao 廷紹 [1]. Wu wang 武王 (died 1043 BCE) [2] This is Ji Fa 姬發, King Wu of Zhou 周, founder of the Western Zhou dynasty, r. 1046-1043 BCE. LSZ reports stories associated with him. Wu wang 吳王 → He Lü 闔閭 Wu xi ji 五溪記, “records of the Five Creeks” [2] Lost, anonymous geographical text. See bibliography of the → Tai ping yu lan 太 平御覽. DC probably Tang 唐. The areas of the five creeks included Xiong xi 雄 溪, Men xi 樠溪, You xi 酉溪, Wu xi 潕溪, and Chen xi 辰溪, an area inhabited by minorities in present-day Chen zhou 辰州 along the Yuan 沅 river in Hu nan 湖南. Fragments are found in the Tai ping yu lan and the → Hai yao ben cao 海藥 本草 as cited in the → ZLBC.

EE → Qi min yao shu 齊民要術. AN originally Za wu xing shu 雜五行書, “Book on Miscellanea and the Five Phases.” This book contains miscellaneous material on plant and animal life as well as instructions for suitabilities and taboos according to the five phases. It is frequently cited in works of the Northern and Southern dynasties and should therefore date to that period or earlier. Extensive fragments are quoted in the Qi min yao shu, the → Chu xue ji 初學記, the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文 類聚, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other books. The → ZLBC also cites it once. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text. The fragment cited, however, is not taken from the ZLBC but from the Qi min yao shu, which labels the same material Za wu xing shu. Wu xing zhi 五行志, “Treatise on the Five Phases” Section frequently found in standard histories. LSZ cites a Xu Han wu xing zhi 續漢五行志, “Treatise on the Five Phases in the [History of the] Second Han,” [1] from the → Xu Han shu 續漢書 and in addition refers to such texts as Wu xing zhi [3] alone. The Wu xing zhi mentioned in SE bao 豹 is the one from the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書). Citations of a Wu xing zhi in SE wu zhu yu 吳茱萸 and SE ji 雞 are actually references to the Za wu xing shu 雜五行書, “Book on Miscellanea and the Five Phases,” (→ Wu xing shu 五行書), the former taken from the → Qi min yao shu 齊民要術, the latter from the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽.

First printed in 1567. 69 juan. The book follows the format of a standard history and and records events of the Ming dynasty dating from the hong wu 洪武 to jia jing 嘉靖 reign periods (1368-1567). LSZ is rather up to date in citing this book that had only just been published. Wu Xunjian 吳巡檢 [1] Southern Song 宋 person, a relative of → Tang Yuzheng 唐與正. He once lost a small amount of urine during his sleep and was diagnosed with a “protuberance-illness with closure” (long bi 癃閉). Tang Yuzheng cured him. LSZ cites this story in SE shi liu huang 石硫黃.

FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by Zhao Ye 趙曄. 12 juan, 10 juan surviving. The text is a history of the states of Wu 吳 and Yue 越, covering the time of King Taibo 泰伯 to Fucha 夫差 (for Wu) and King Wu yu 無餘 to Goujian 勾踐 (for Yue). LSZ does not list the work in his bibliographical sections but cites it in the main text. Wu yue wang 吳越王 → Qian Liu 錢鏐 Wu zhen pian 悟真篇, “Writings on awakening to the Truth” [2] Song 宋 dynasty Daoist book.

The book is composed in ci 詞 and qu 曲 poetry and advocates internal alchemy. Along with the → Can tong qi 參同契 of → Wei Boyang 魏伯 陽 it is considered one of the most important texts of orthodox Daoism. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections but cites it in the main text of the BCGM. Wu zhi 吳志 → San guo zhi 三國志 Wu zhi jing 五芝經, “Classic of the Five Zhi” [1] Lost, anonymous book. Not listed in ancient or recent bibliographical sources. The title is referred to in a commentary in the → Tang ben cao 唐本草, but date and author remain unknown. LSZ cites it in SE zhi 芝. Wu zhu deng furen 吳主鄧夫人, “Lady deng of the ruler of Wu” [1] Three Kingdoms period person of the state of Wu 吳. LSZ cites a story from the → Ji yi ji 集異記 about Wu zhu Deng furen suffering from an injury to her face. However, the → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎 and other books speak of a Wu Sun He Deng furen 吳孫和鄧夫人, “Lady Deng of Sun He of Wu.” Sun He
522 孫和 (224-253) was the son of the first ruler of Wu, Sun Quan 孫權 (r. 222-252), and the father of Sun Hao 孫皓. Hence Lady Deng’s injury must have occured at that time. Wu Ziye 吳子野 [1] Northern Song 宋 literatus and expert in calligraphy. Literary name Matian shanren 麻田山人, “Hermit of the Hemp Field.” He was a friend of → Su Shi 蘇軾. According to the → Yi shuo 醫説, he advised Su to consume rice congee to nourish his life. LSZ takes this over in SE zhou 粥. Wuji 無忌 → Changsun Wuji 長孫無忌

Resided in Dong jun 東郡, now Yan zhou 兗州 in Shan dong 山東, away from his native place, at the end of the Sui dynasty. During the Tang zhen guan 貞觀 reign period (627-649), he served as prefect (ci shi 刺史) of Cang zhou 滄 州. The → Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘后備急方, popular during the Tang, has an appendix with recipes to dissolve gu 蠱 poison and other toxins that was written by him. This is quoted in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外台秘要方 and the → ZLBC. LSZ refers to Xi as Xi Bian 席辯 [4] and Xi Bian 席辨 [1]. Xi hu zhi 西湖志, “records from West Lake” General designation for the Xi hu you lan zhi 西湖遊覽志, “Records Taken Travelling at West Lake.” (24 juan) and the Xi hu you lan zhi yu 西湖遊覽志餘, “Extra Records Taken Travelling at West Lake,” (26 juan). FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Both texts written by the Ming 明 literatus → Tian Rucheng 田汝成. The Xi hu you lan zhi describes famous scenic spots such as rivers and lakes around West Lake, the evolution of settlements and related legends. It lays special emphasis on anecdotes about people from the area. The Xi hu you lan zhi yu is a sequel with more stories and anecdotes. LSZ does not distinguish which of the two works he is citing. He refers to the texts as Xi hu zhi [3] and as You lan zhi 遊覽志 [1]. Xi Jian 郗鑒 (269-339) [1] Early Eastern Jin 晉 high official. Style name Daohui 道徽, a man of Jin xiang 金鄉 in Gao ping 高平, now part of Shan dong 山東. He served as Defender-in-chief (tai wei 太尉) and Minister of Education (si tu 司空), and has a biography in the → Jin shu 晉書. According to the → Sou shen ji 搜神記, when he was on duty in Dan tu 丹徒, one of his soldiers presented him with a twig of raw jue 蕨. He ingested it and fell ill.
523 Xi jing za ji 西京雜記, “Miscellaneous records of the Western Capital” [10] Collection of fiction. Attributed to → Ge Hong 葛洪 of Jin 晉. The end of the book contains an annotation by Ge Hong, in which he states that he copied his material from a Han shu 漢書, “History of the Han,” by the Western Han 漢 scholar Liu Xin 劉歆. Considering such a statement improbable, later scholars suspect that the book was written in Ge Hong’s name by someone else. Others claim that the book was compiled by → Wu Jun 吳均 of Liang 梁. 2 juan, later divided into 6 juan. The “western capital” is the Western Han capital of Chang an 長安. The text recounts many Western Han traditions and legends. Xi Liang ji 西涼記, “records of Western Liang” [2] This is LSZ’s name for the Liang zhou ji 涼州記, “Records of Liang zhou,” a history of Later Liang 涼 during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” AN originally Liang ji 涼記, “Records of Liang.” Written by Duan Guilong 段龜龍. DC 5th century. 10 juan. The author was a courtier in the state of Later Liang, and his book records events under Lü Guang 呂光 (r. 386-399). The original book is lost, but fragments are preserved in the → Bei tang shu chao 北堂書鈔, the → Chu xue ji 初學記, the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → Shuo fu 説郛, and many other pre-Yuan 元 encyclopedias. LSZ cites the work as Xi Liang ji in his bibliographical sections and the main text, taking his material from a Liang zhou ji citation in the Shuo fu. Xi man cong hua 溪蠻叢話 → Xi man cong xiao 溪蠻叢笑 Xi man cong xiao 溪蠻叢笑, “Collected Jokes of the Barbarians of the [Five] Creeks” Southern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by → Zhu Fu 朱輔. DC late 12th century. 1 juan. The title refers to the ethnic minorities that live in the area of the “five creeks” (wu xi 五溪, cf. → Wu xi ji 五溪記) along the Yuan 沅 river in Hu nan 湖南. The author held an office in the area and recorded what he heard and saw during the time he spent there. The text contains much information on local customs and products. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text as Xi man cong xiao [2] and erroneously as Xi man cong hua 溪蠻叢話, “Collected Talks of the Barbarians of the [Five] Creeks,” [2]. Xi nang 奚囊, “Servant’s Bag” [1] Abbreviation for the → Xi nang bei ji fang 奚囊備急方. LSZ cites two books with the term xi nang in the title, the Xi nang bei ji fang and the → Xi nang za zuan 奚囊雜纂. The latter’s bibliographical entry is listed among collections of brush notes (bi ji 筆記) and tales of the strange (zhi guai xiao shuo 志怪小説), and is probably not a medical recipe book. The material quoted by LSZ as from the Xi nang is a single ingredient recipe which is rather similar to the recipes quoted from the Xi nang bei ji fang, so the reference must be to that text.
524 Xi nang bei ji fang 奚囊備急方, “Emergency recipes from the Servant’s Bag” Lost collection of medical recipes. See bibliography of the BCGM. LSZ names no author, and the title is not found in any other bibliography. The term “servant’s bag” (xi nang 奚囊) derives from a legend, in which the Tang dynasty poet Li He 李賀 had a servant (xi nu 奚奴) accompany him on his travels. Every time Li thought of a verse, he would write it down and the servant would store it in a bag he carried on his back. The “servant’s bag” thus became a designation for any assemblage of objects, poems, or ideas that were collected at all times. In the title of medical books it indicates that the medical recipes contained were collected whenever the author encountered them. LSZ refers to the collection as Xi nang bei ji fang [3] and as Xi nang 奚囊, “Servant’s Bag,” [1]. There are also 13 general references to a → Bei ji fang 備急方, but this designation mostly refers to other books. Xi nang za zuan 奚囊雜纂, “Miscellaneous Compilations from the Servant’s Bag” [1] Probably a collection of brush note stories (bi ji xiao shuo 筆記小説). See bibliography of the BCGM. LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections without naming an author. He places it among collections of brush notes (bi ji 筆記) and tales of the strange (zhi guai xiao shuo 志怪小説), therefore it seems probable that the Xi nang za zuan was a work of this kind as well. There is no material cited in the main text of the BCGM, so no more can be said about the work. One reference to a → Xi nang 奚囊 is from the → Xi nang bei ji fang 奚囊備急 方 rather than this text. Xi Qidan 奚契丹, “The Xi and the Khitan” [1] Two non-Chinese tribal associations, situated North of China at the time of the Tang 唐 dynasty. They were frequently engaged in military conflicts with Tang troops. LSZ mentions these tribes in SE lang dang 莨菪 in connection with → An Lushan 安祿山. Xi qiao ye ji 西樵野記, “rural records from the Western Watchtower” [3] Ming 明 dynasty book. FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” Written by Hou Dian 侯甸. 10 juan (AV 4 juan), 170 entries. Hou Dian was a man from the Su zhou 蘇州 area active during the jia jing 嘉靖 reign period (1522-1567). His book assembled stories about mysterious or rare things. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text without naming the author. Xi shan jing 西山經 → Shan hai jing 山海經 Xi shang fu tan 席上腐談, “dogmatic Conversations among the Learned” Late Song 宋, early Yuan 元 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by → Yu Yan 俞琰. 2 juan (AV 4 juan). The first juan comprises several articles on textual research as well as explanations on life cultivation and pregnancy. The second juan is devoted to Daoist alchemical lore, therefore some regard it as a Daoist
525 text. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text as Xi shang fu yan [2] and by the author’s name as Yu Yan [1]. Xi shi ji 西使記, “record of an Embassy to the West” Yuan 元 dynasty collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Qing qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by → Liu Yu 劉 郁. DC 1263. 1 juan. The work records what the author heard and saw when he was sent west as an envoy, as far as today’s Iran and Iraq. The text contains considerable information on local geography, customs, products, etc. LSZ cites the work as Chu shi xi yu ji 出使西域記, “Record of One Who Served as an Envoy in the Western Regions,” [2] in his bibliographical sections and the main text but mostly refers to the text as Xi shi ji [9]. Xi wang mu 西王母, “Queen Mother of the West” Mythological goddess. Mentioned in the → Shan hai jing 山海經, the → Mu tian zi zhuan 穆天子傳, and in the Han Wu di nei zhuan 漢武帝內傳, “The Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of Han,” (→ Han Wu nei zhuan 漢武內傳), and other early texts. In later times her name was attached to various objects. LSZ cites a → Xi wang mu zhen zhong fang 西王母枕中方, and associates with her a hairpin, a mat, a staff, a vegetable, a peach, a date, and a pearl, which are mostly alternative names for pharmaceutical substances of plant origin. He refers to her as Xi wang mu [10] and as Wang mu 王母, “Queen Mother,” [2]. Xi wang mu zhen zhong fang 西王母枕中方, “recipes from the Pillow of the Queen Mother of the West” [1] Lost, anonymous book quoted in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方. Said there to list a cosmetic recipe used by the concubine → Zhang gui fei 張貴妃. LSZ cites this recipe second hand in SE dan sha 丹砂. Xi xi si seng 西溪寺僧, “Monk of the Xi xi Monastery” [1] Northern Song 宋 monk from Qian tang 錢塘 (now Hang zhou 杭州 in Zhe jiang 浙江) who resided at the Xi xi 西溪 monastery. According to the → Meng xi bi tan 夢溪筆談, he was able to cure the poison of the tian she 天蛇 snake with qin pi 秦皮. Xi yang jun wang 西陽郡王 → Xu Zhicai 徐之才 Xi yanshang 席延賞 [2] Northern Song 宋 writer. Details about his life are unavailable. The Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song,” lists a now lost Huang di zhen jing yin yi 黃帝針經音義, “Phonology of the Yellow Thearch’s Needling Classic,” of his. The → ZLBC cites two recipes by Xi, and LSZ lists a → Xi Yanshang fang 席延賞方 in his bibliography and takes over one recipe from the ZLBC. Xi Yanshang fang 席延賞方, “recipe by Xi yanshang” [2] Medical recipe book or simply a recipe by an otherwise unknown → Xi Yanshang 席延賞.
526 Xi yu ji 西域記, “record on the Western Territories” [3] Title of a book. Cited in the → Hai yao ben cao 海藥本草 and → Ben cao yan yi 本草衍義, so the book must date to the Five Dynasties or earlier. Possibly an abbreviated title of the Da Tang xi yu ji 大唐西域記, “Record of the Western Territories of the Great Tang.” However, the items quoted from a Xi yu ji do not appear in other materia medica works, and their origin remains to be verified. LSZ does not list the text in his bibliographical sections but cites it second hand in the main text from the → ZLBC. Xi yu zhuan 西域傳, “records of the Western regions” [1] Chapter in the biographical sections of certain dynastic histories. The Xi yu zhuan fragment LSZ cites in SE tuo 駝 is taken from the → Han shu 漢書, juan 96. The quotation includes the original Han shu text as well as a commentary by → Yan Shigu 顔師古. Xi zheng fu 西征賦, “rhapsody on a Campaign to the West” [1] Jin 晉 dynasty fu 賦. Written by → Pan Yue 潘岳. DC 292. Pan Yue served as magistrate of Chang an 長安 and put his emotions about missions to the West into this poem, recording things he experienced. The fu is preserved in the → Wen xuan 文選, and LSZ takes over a fragment in SE xu yu 鱮魚. Xi zong 僖宗 (862-888) [1] This is Li Xuan 李儇, emperor of the Tang 唐 dynasty, r. 873-888. Original name Yan 儼. The → Huang Chao 黃巢 rebellion occurred during his rule. LSZ reports how a woman transformed into a male during his reign in SE ren gui 人傀. Xia guan fu 遐觀賦, “rhapsody of Long-lasting Contemplation” [2] Fu 賦 attributed to → Ge Hong 葛洪. See bibliography of the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. The poem is not listed in the standard bibliographies and was only rarely cited in early sources. LSZ lists it as a book in his bibliographical sections and in his main text cites it second hand from the Tai ping yu lan. Xia ji 夏姬, “Concubine Xia” [2] Spring and Autumn period person, daughter of Zheng Mu gong 鄭穆公 and wife of Yushu 御叔, magnate of the state of Chen 陳. Her beauty was unparalleled and she was well-versed in the arts of longevity. After her husband died, she became the consort of three kings and the wife of seven husbands. All the feudal lords coveted her, and there was no one who was not enchanted by her. Legend has it that she resorted to the “elixir with apricot gold” (xing jin dan 杏金丹) of → Hun huang zi 渾皇子 to preserve her youthful complexion. The recipe is recorded in the → ZLBC, and LSZ takes it over in SE xing 杏. Xia Jie 夏桀 [1] This is Lü Gui 履癸, ruler of the Xia 夏 dynasty. He was removed by → Cheng Tang 成湯 around 1600 BCE. LSZ mentions him in SE wu gu wa 烏古瓦. Xia ri ji 暇日記, “records of Leisure days” [3] Northern Song 宋 literary encyclopedia. FE → Shuo fu 説郛. 1 juan. Written by → Liu Qi 劉跂. The text is preserved in the Shuo fu, from which LSZ took
527 his material. He mistakenly assigns the text to → Chen Yanhe 陳彥和 once but elsewhere refers it correctly to Liu Qi. Xia shi 夏氏 → Xia Ziyi 夏子益 Xia shi qi ji fang 夏氏奇疾方 → Qi ji fang 奇疾方 Xia shu 夏書, “documents of Xia” [1] Section of the → Shang shu 尚書, supposedly recording the history of the Xia 夏 dynasty. The present version is in four chapters, the → Yu gong 禹貢, the Gan shi 甘誓, “The Gan Oath,” the Wu zi zhi ge 五子之歌, “Song of the Five Sons,” and the Yin zheng 胤征, “The Yin Campaign.” The latter two are part of the old text (gu wen 古文) tradition of the Shang shu. LSZ cites the Xia shu in his main text only. Xia tai jun niang niang fang 夏太君娘娘方, “recipe of Empress Mother Xia” [1] Source of a medical recipe, probably not a book. EE → Fu ren liang fang 婦人良 方. The origin of the Fu ren liang fang citation is uncertain. Xia xiao zheng 夏小正, “The Small Calendar of Xia” Name of a text. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” This was originally a section of the Da Dai li ji 大戴 禮記, “Record of Rites by Dai Senior” (→ Li ji 禮記) of Dai De 戴德. By the time of compilation of the Sui shi jing ji zhi, which also lists the Da Dai li ji, the Xia xiao zheng apparently circulated as a separate book in 1 juan. The original text is lost, but much of its contents is preserved in later works, and there is a reconstructed edition from Song 宋 times. The text is divided by season and presents monthly listings of living things, phenomena, and climatic influences. LSZ quotes the text as Xia xiao zheng [2], as Xia xiao zheng yue ling 夏小正月令, “Monthly Ordinances from the Small Calendar of Xia,” [1] and Xia xiao zheng zhu 夏小正注, “Notes to the Small Calendar of Xia,” [1]. Xia xiao zheng yue ling 夏小正月令 → Xia xiao zheng 夏小正 Xia xiao zheng zhu 夏小正注 → Xia xiao zheng 夏小正 Xia ying gong 夏英公, “duke Xia of ying” (985-1051) [3] This is Xia Song 夏竦, a Northern Song 宋 high official. Style name Ziqiao 子 喬, a man of De an 德安 in Jiang zhou 江州, now De an in Jiang xi 江西. He was made Grand Councilor (zai xiang 宰相) in 1047 and was enfeoffed as Duke of the State of Ying (Ying guo gong 英国公), thus his title. Xia has a biography in the → Song shi 宋史, and books such as the → Meng xi bi tan 夢溪筆談, the → Shao shi wen jian lu 邵氏聞見錄, and the → Bo zhai bian 泊宅編 all recount events related to him. Xia Yu shen xian jing 夏禹神仙經, “The Immortals’ Classic of [Emperor] yu of Xia” [2] Lost, anonymous book. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. Only one fragment is preserved there.

Author of the → Qi ji fang 奇疾方 and the Wei sheng shi quan fang 衛生十全方, “Perfectly Efficacious Recipes for Protecting Life.” LSZ refers to him as Xia Ziyi [32] and as Xia shi 夏氏, “Mr. Xia,” [2].

Xiahou Shang 夏侯上 → Xiahou Shang 夏侯尚 Xiahou Shang 夏侯尚 General of the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period, engaged in campaigns to the South. According to → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景, he was ordered to search for jade during the huang chu 黃初 reign period (220-226).

According to the → TJBC he obtained a recipe to pull out arrowheads from → Ma shi zhong 馬侍中 and used it to treat wounds. This recipe was also recorded in the → ZLBC, but → Tang Shenwei 唐慎微 erroneously wrote Xia’s name Xiahou Dan 夏侯鄲. In SE ba dou 巴豆, LSZ follows Tang’s mistake, referring to the official as Xiahou Dan [1] and Dan 鄲 [1], but elsewhere calls him Xiahou Yun [1] and Yun 鄆 [3] correctly. Xian chuan fang 仙傳方, “recipes Transmitted by Immortals” This is the Zhang Sanfeng zhenren xian fang 張三丰真人仙方, “Immortals’ Recipes of Zhang Sanfeng the Perfected One,” a medical recipe text. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Zhang Sanfeng 張三丰 (fl. 14th century).

LSZ cites it as a separate work, referring to the text as Xian chuan fang [2] or (misspelling Zhang’s name) as Zhang Sanfeng xian fang 張三 仹仙方, “Immortals’ Recipes of Zhang Sanfeng [2] and Zhang Sanfeng fang 張 三仹方, “Recipes of Zhang Sanfeng,” [1], or referring to the author directly as Zhang Sanfeng zhenren 張三丰真人, “Zhang Sanfeng the Perfected One,” [1].

General reference to pharmaceutical recipes considered to be miraculously effective. Xian fang zhuan 仙方傳, “Tradition of Immortals’ recipes” [1] For LSZ the name of a book. Cited in the BCGM but not listed in LSZ’s bibliography. The material that LSZ refers to a Xian fang zhuan in SE hu ma 胡麻 is found in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, which cites similar passages several times and assigns them to the Lu Nüsheng bie zhuan 魯女生別傳, “Supplementary Biography of Lu Nüsheng,” and the → Shen xian zhuan 神仙傳. → Lu Nüsheng 魯女生 was a figure of the late Eastern Han 漢 dynasty, and the Lu Nüsheng bie zhuan and the Shen xian zhuan date to the Jin 晉 period or somewhat later. LSZ synthesizes various text fragments that the Tai ping yu lan labels Lu Nüsheng bie zhuan into one, so his Xian fang zhuan is probably a reference to that text. Xian jing 仙經, “Classics of Immortals” [57] General reference to Daoist texts on life cultivation. Xian ju fu 閑居賦, “rhapsody on remaining Idly at Home” [2] Western Jin 晉 fu 賦. Written by → Pan Yue 潘岳. The → Jin shu 晉書, in the biography of Pan Yue, records this poem outlining the joys of staying idly at home. LSZ cites the poem in his main text only. Xian lu ji 陷虜記, “records Taken during Imprisonment” Lost Five Dynasties period book. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” AN Xian bei ji 陷北記, “Records Taken while Being Trapped in the North.” Written by → Hu Jiao 胡嶠. DC 953. 3 juan (AV 1 juan). The author was held by the Qidan 契丹 for 7 years and only returned to China in 953. After his return he wrote the Xian lu ji to record his experiences in the north. According to the Xin wu dai shi 新五代史, “New History of the Five Dynasties,” the book also details geography, customs, and local products of the areas the author saw. The Xin wu dai shi states that Hu Jiao tasted the watermelon (xi gua 西瓜) there and gave a description of its taste, appearance, and cultivation in his work, along with information on how it had been obtained by the Qidan from the Uighurs. → Yang Shen 楊慎, in his Dan qian yu lu 丹鉛餘錄, “Extra Records of Cinnabar and Lead,” (→ Dan qian lu 丹鉛錄), apparently misunderstood this and made Hu Jiao the person that obtained the watermelon from the Uighurs and brought it to China. LSZ, accordingly, lists the Xian lu ji as Xian lu ji 陷盧記. “Records of Trapping the Gourd” [1], in his bibliographical sections and cites it correctly as Xian lu ji 陷虜記 [1] in the main text. He repeats Yang Shen’s erroneous story of Hu Jiao discovering the water-
530 melon on a punitive expedition to the Uighurs (Hu actually never participated in any such expedition), apparently citing second hand from the Dan qian yu lu. Xian tan 閑談 → Mu shu xian tan 牧豎閑談 Xian wan biao 薟丸表 → Jin xi xian wan biao 進豨薟丸表 Xian zong 憲宗 (778-820) [2] This is Li Chun 李純, emperor of the Tang 唐 dynasty, r. 805-820. LSZ relates events said to have occurred during his reign, about a mineral that was transformed into flour for the consumption of the poor and the transformation of a male servant into a tiger. Xiang bei jing 相貝經, “Classic of the appearances of Cowries” [2] Specialized text. FE Jiu Tang shu jing ji zhi 舊唐書經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the Old History of the Tang.” No author is given there, but the book is sometimes attributed to the legendary Western Han 漢 immortal → Zhu Zhong 朱仲. 1 juan. The → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚 contains a story about how Zhu Zhong received the book from the legendary immortal → Qin Gao 琴髙 and later presented it to the official → Yan Zhu 嚴助, but the attribution to a legendary figure is certainly false. DC Northern and Southern Dynasties period, judging by the book’s appearance in bibliographies. The text contains information on the shapes and usages of different types of cowrie shells. The original book is lost, but the Yi wen lei ju, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and the → Shuo fu 説郛 all cite from it. LSZ cites the book second hand from the Yi wen lei ju in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Xiang Cheng 相誠 → Yang Cheng 楊誠 Xiang gan zhi 相感志 → Wu lei xiang gan zhi 物類相感志 Xiang he jing 相鶴經, “Classic of Crane Physiognomy” [3] Daoist mystical text. FE Jiu Tang shu jing ji zhi 舊唐書經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the Old History of the Tang.” Attributed to a Fu qiu gong 浮丘 公, “Lord of Fu qiu,” or Li Fuqiu 李浮丘, a mythical Zhou 周 dynasty Daoist. 1 juan.

The → Tong zhi 通志, finally, makes two texts out of this, listing a Xiang he jing by Fuqiu gong and one by the Eight Lords of Huai nan (→ Huai nan ba gong 淮南八公). LSZ follows this interpretation and refers the text to the Huai nan ba gong in his bibliographical sections or to the Ba gong 八公, “Eight Lords,” in the main text. Xiang lu 香錄, “record of aromatic Substances” Southern Song 宋 practical treatise on exotic substances. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” AN Nan fan xiang lu 南蕃香錄, “Record of Aromatic Substances of Foreign Countries in the South.” Written by → Ye Tinggui 葉廷珪.

The original text is lost, but much of its material is preserved in the Xiang pu 香譜, “Treatise on Aromatic Substances,” of Chen Jing 陳敬, the Xiang sheng 香乘, “Chariot of Aromatic Substances,” of Zhou Jiazhou 周嘉胄, and other books. LSZ cites the text correctly as Xiang lu [4] in his main text but calls it Xiang pu [3] in his bibliography. Xiang mian ji 襄沔記, “records of Xiang mian” [2] Tang 唐 dynasty book. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by Wu Congzheng 吳從 政. DC early 8th century. 3 juan. The author flourished during the jing long 景 龍 reign period (707-710). The book was created by taking material from the → Jing Chu sui shi ji 荊楚歲時記, the → Jing zhou ji 荊州記, the → Chu guo xian xian zhuan 楚國先賢傳, the Xiang yang qi jiu zhuan 襄陽耆舊傳, “Biographies of the Elders of Xiang yang,” of Xi Zuochi 習鑿齒, the Xiang yang ji 襄陽記, “Records of Xiang yang,” of Guo Zhongchan 郭仲產, the Nan Yong zhou ji 南 雍州記, “Records of Southern Yong zhou,” of Bao Jian 鮑堅, and other books. It provided detailed information on the Xiang han 襄漢 area in present-day Hu bei 湖北. The original text is lost, but fragments are preserved in the → Tai ping huan yu ji 太平寰宇記, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other books. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text without indicating an author. The material in the main text is taken from the Tai ping huan yu ji.

FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by Hong Chu 洪芻 (→ Hong Jufu 洪駒父). 2 juan.

[3] AN for the → Xiang lu 香錄 Xiang shan si seng 湘山寺僧, “Monk of Xiang shan Monastery” [1] Yuan 元 dynasty monk. LSZ quotes a → Jing yan fang 經驗方 with a recipe for “painful and itching scrotal lesion” (nang chuang tong yang 囊瘡痛痒), stating this recipe was invented by a monk of the Xiang shan monastery. The origin of this recipe can be traced back to the Yuan 元 dynasty → Wei shi de xiao fang 危氏得 效方. It was later quoted by the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, juan 272, with an additional statement: “In the summer of the [year] jia zi I travelled from Gui [lin] back home, when on the way I suffered from an itching lesion. I took rest at the Xiang shan monastery for a little while, where I met the abbott Shu weng 寂翁. He gave this recipe to me, and after a few days I was cured.” Based on this statement, it can be assumed that the monk of Xiang shan monastery was called Shu weng. Xiang shi 項氏, “Mr. Xiang” [3] Person of uncertain identity. LSZ cites Xiang’s explanations of pharmaceutical substances in SE ping 蘋 and SE wei 薇 but does not provide any information on Mr. Xiang’s life dates or any book of his. The Xiang shi jia shuo 項氏家説,
532 “School Explanations by Mr. Xiang,” does not contain the BCGM material, so LSZ’s source remains to be verified. Xiang yu 項羽 (232-202) [1] This is the style name of Xiang Ji 項籍, a late Qin 秦 leader of an army, the chief rival of Liu Bang 劉邦 (→ Han Gao zu 漢高祖) in the battle for the empire. He established himself as Xi Chu ba wang 西楚霸王, “Hegemon of Western Chu,” and was therefore called Chu wang 楚王, “King of Chu.” Later he was defeated and committed suicide by cutting his throat. LSZ cites an event associated with him in SE han shan 汗衫. Xiangru 相如 → Sima Xiangru 司馬相如 Xiangru fu 相如賦 → Zi xu fu 子虛賦 Xianyu Shu 鮮于樞 (1256-1301) [4] Yuan 元 dynasty calligrapher and poet.

He held a literary court appointment and was noted for his poetry and calligraphy. Author of the Kun xue zhai ji 困 學齋集, “Collection of the Studio of Assiduous Studies,” the Kun xue zhai za lu 困學齋雜錄, “Miscellaneous Records of the Studio of Assiduous Studies,” and other books. LSZ quotes his → Gou xuan 鉤玄, but there is some uncertainty about whether such a book actually existed. Xianyu Shuming 鮮于叔明 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official, fl. during the reign of → Tang Dai zong 唐代宗 (r. 762779). Served as prefect (ci shi 刺史) of Zi zhou 梓州 and as governor (jie du shi 節度使) of Eastern Si chuan 四川. According to the Gansun zi 乾 子, “Master Gansun,” of the Tang author Wen Tingyun 溫庭筠, he loved to eat stinking worms/bugs. LSZ cites this in SE xing ye 行夜 but erroneously gives the → Yi shuo 醫説 as his source. Xiao 斅 → Lei Xiao 雷斅 Xiao Bing 蕭炳 Tang 唐 dynasty reclusive scholar. A man of Lan ling 蘭陵, now Cang xian 蒼 縣 in Shan dong 山東. Author of the → Si sheng ben cao 四聲本草. LSZ refers to him as Xiao Bing [39] or Bing 炳 [20]. Xiao, Cao, Jiang, Guan 蕭曹絳灌 [1] Four eminent officials serving at the beginning of the Han 漢 dynasty: Xiao He 蕭何 (died 193 BCE), Cao Shen 曹參 (died 190 BCE), Zhou Bo 周勃 (died 169 BCE), and Guan Ying 灌嬰 (died 176 BCE), all held the post of Counselor-in-chief (cheng xiang 丞相) and other offices. LSZ uses their style of governing as an allegory for how even toxic, harsh medicinals such as croton seeds (ba dou 巴豆) may be used to achieve a balance in the human body.
533 Xiao Cunjing 蕭存敬 [2] Possibly a Song 宋 dynasty person. LSZ lists a recipe with jing jie 荊芥 called “a pinch of gold” (yi nian jin 一捻金) in SE jia su 假蘇 and associates it with Xiao Cunjing. This recipe appears in the Song → Fu ren liang fang 婦人良方, but no Xiao Cunjing is mentioned there, and LSZ’s source remains uncertain. Xiao dayin 蕭大尹 [1] Ming 明 dynasty person. Details about his life are unavailable. A recipe of his is cited by LSZ in SE hu tao 胡桃. Xiao duanshi 蕭端式 [1] Yuan 元 dynasty person. Details about his life are unavailable. According to the → Yong lei qian fang 永類鈐方, he once suffered from “suspended obstruction-illness” (xuan yong 懸癰) and was cured with autumn hu lu 葫蘆. LSZ cites this in SE ku hu 苦瓠. Xiao er 小兒 → Xiao er zhi jue 小兒直訣 Xiao er fang 小兒方, “recipes for [the Treatment of ] Children” Name applied by LSZ to various pediatric texts. In one case (SE ji yu 鯽魚), the source remains uncertain.
Generic term for two Song 宋 dynasty texts. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Chen Wenzhong 陳文中. DC mid-13th century. LSZ convolutes two books by Chen under the title Xiao er fang, namely the Xiao er dou zhen fang lun 小兒痘疹方論, “Discourse on Recipes for [the Treatment of ] Smallpox Papules in Children,” (DC 1254, 4 juan) and the Xiao er bing yuan fang lun 小兒病源方論, “Discourse on Recipes Treating the Origin of Diseases in Children,” (1 juan). In the BCGM, treatments for “smallpox papules” (dou zhen 痘疹) are taken from the former, treatments for other miscellaneous diseases from the latter book. LSZ cites these texts as Xiao er fang [6] in his bibliographical sections and the main text, referring them to Chen Wenzhong every time. He also quotes the works as Chen shi xiao er fang 陳氏小兒方, “Mr. Chen’s Recipes for [the Treatment of ] Children,” [1], as Chen Wenzhong fang 陳文中方, “Recipes of Chen Wenzhong,” [2], or simply using the author’s name, Chen Wenzhong [4].
Ming 明 dynasty text. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Wang Rixin 王日新. DC and size uncertain. The book mentions various disease names, e.g., “old crow fright” (lao ya jing 老鴉驚), that were specific to the Ming period, therefore it can be dated to that time. It contains pharmaceutical prescriptions for pediatric diseases as well as descriptions of simple external treatment methods. LSZ cites the book as Xiao er fang [2] by Wang Rixin in his bibliographical sections and the main text and also refers to it as Wang shi xiao er fang 王氏小兒 方, “Mr. Wang’s Recipes for [the Treatment of ] Children,”[1]. This is the Xiao er yi fang miao xuan 小兒醫方妙選, “Miraculous Selection of Medical Recipes for Children,” a Song 宋 dynasty pediatric text. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” Written by → Zhang Huan 張渙. DC 1126. 3 juan. The original text
534 is lost, but fragments are preserved in the → You you xin shu 幼幼新書, which states that the book contained 420 recipes in all, among them many created by the Southern Song pediatrician Qiu Songnian 丘松年. LSZ lists the text as Xiao er fang [1] by Zhang Huan in his bibliographical sections and cites one fragment by the name of the author in the main text. In both cases, however, he mistakenly writes Zhang’s name Zhang Huan 張煥 [2]. An Yi fang miao xuan 醫方妙 選, “Miraculous Selection of Medical Recipes” [1] cited in the main text is a reference to this book as well. [1] Text containing pediatric recipes. LSZ does not list this work in his bibliographical sections but cites it once in the main text, attributing it to → Cui Xinggong 崔行功. The material there is identical with a quotation in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方, which refers to a treatment method for children by a Cui shi 崔氏, “Mr. Cui,” that is taken from the → Zuan yao fang 纂要方 (erroneously attributed to Cui Xinggong by LSZ), so the Xiao er fang was probably not an independent book at all. [2] Referred to an unidentifiable → Bao shi 鮑氏 in → Bao shi xiao er fang 鮑 氏小兒方.
[4] Referred to an unidentifiable → Tan shi 譚氏 in → Tan shi xiao er fang 譚氏小兒方.

DC Northern Song 宋, size uncertain (possibly 3 juan). LSZ cites fragments from the → ZLBC. He cites the book as Xiao er gong qi fang [2] and as Gong qi fang 宮氣方, “Womb Qi Recipes,” [4]. In addition to the Xiao er gong qi fang LSZ also lists a 4
535 → Xiao er gong qi ji 小兒宮氣集 in his bibliography, which is probably the same book. Xiao er gong qi ji 小兒宮氣集, “Collection for [the Treatment of ] Children and Womb Qi” [1] Anonymous pediatric text. FE Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises.” 3 juan. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not use it in his main text. The text is probably identical with the → Xiao er gong qi fang 小兒宮氣方. Xiao er jing feng mi jue 小兒驚風秘訣, “Secret Instructions for [the Treatment of ] Children’s Fright Wind” [1] Pediatric text. EE BCGM. No information on authorship and DC available. LSZ cites it in his main text only, in connection with the use of lamp fire (deng huo 燈火) to treat “fright” (jing 驚) in children. Xiao er mi jue 小兒秘訣, “Secret Instructions for [the Treatment of ] Children” [1] Ming 明 dynasty pediatric text, focusing on pediatric push-and-pull massage (tui na 推拿). LSZ cites an example of push-and-pull massage and pharmaceutical treatment for cases of “black sand fright” (wu sha jing 烏沙驚) from this book. The same material is documented in the Xiao er tui na mi jue 小兒推拿 秘訣, “Secret Instructions on Push-and Pull-Massage for [the Treatment of ] Children,” of the Ming author Zhou Yufan 周於蕃. However, the latter text was published in 1612, after the completion of the BCGM, so LSZ probably used another book with similar title and contents as his source. Xiao er ya 小爾雅, “Small Er ya” [2] Han 漢 dynasty lexicographical text and supplement to the → Er ya 爾雅. The Han shu yi wen zhi 漢書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Han,” lists an anonymous Xiao ya 小雅, “Small Ya,” in one juan, which some consider to be the Xiao er ya. The Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui,” and the Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書 藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang,” list a one juan Xiao er ya annotated by Li Gui 李軌. These books are lost. The still extant Xiao er ya is from chapter 11 of the Kong cong zi 孔叢子, “The Kong [Family] Masters’ Anthology,” by the Han author → Kong Fu 孔鮒, and the relationship between this text and the other ones is uncertain. It consists of 13 chapters, 10 of which cover words related to language, names, clothes, utensils, birds, or beasts, and the remaining three deal with weights and measures. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Xiao er zhi jue 小兒直訣, “Straightforward Instructions for [the Treatment of ] Children” This is LSZ’s name for the Xiao er yao zheng zhi jue 小兒藥證直訣, “Straightforward Instructions for Medicinal [Treatment of ] Disease Signs in Children,” a Song 宋 dynasty pediatric text.

LSZ never refers to the work by its full name but, in connection with one of Qian Yi’s names, calls it Xiao er zhi jue [6], Zhi jue 直訣, “Straightforward Instructions,” [2], Xiao er fang 小兒方, “Recipes for [the Treatment of ] Children,” [12], Qian shi xiao er fang 錢 氏小兒方, “Mr. Qian’s Recipes for [the Treatment of ] Children,” [11], Xiao er 小 兒, “Children,” [1], or Xiao er fang jue 小兒方訣, “Recipe Instructions for [the Treatment of ] Children,” [1]. He also refers to the work as Qian Yi fang 錢乙方, “Recipes of Qian Yi,” [3], as Qian shi fang 錢氏方, “Recipes of Mr. Qian,” [3], and by the author’s name alone as Qian Yi [12], Qian shi 錢氏, “Mr. Qian,” [5], or Qian Zhongyang 錢仲陽 [7]. Xiao fu ma 蕭駙馬, “Xiao, the Emperor’s Son-in-law” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty person. Personal name unknown. He was apparently cured from edema by pills with ting li zi 葶藶子.

FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” 7 juan. This is one of the apocryphal texts related to the Xiao jing 孝經, “Classic of Filial Piety.” These works used mystical ideas to interpret the classics. The original text is lost, but fragments are found in the → Chu xue ji 初學記, the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other books. An incomplete version is found in the → Shuo fu 説郛. The book is also listed in the Ming period Gu wei shu 古微書, “Book of Ancient Subtleties.” LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Xiao Jingguan fang 蕭靜觀方, “recipes of Xiao Jingguan” Source of recipes, probably not a book. EE BCGM. LSZ makes the Xiao Jingguan fang [1] a book title in his bibliographical sections and quotes a Ge Jingguan fang 葛靜觀方, “Recipes of Ge Jingguan,” [1] in the main text, which is probably an error. It is to be assumed that Xiao Jingguan 蕭靜觀 was the person who transmitted the recipe. No information is available on any person of that name. Xiao Liaozhen 蕭了真 [3] This is the literary name of Xiao Tingzhi 蕭廷芝 (AV Xiao Tingzhi 蕭廷之), a Southern Song 宋 dynasty Daoist. Style name Yuanrui 元瑞, literary name Zixu 紫虛, “Purple Vacuity,” or Liaozhen zi 了真子, “Master of Completed Perfection.” He was a second-generation disciple of the Southern Song Daoist patriarch Bai Yuchan 白玉蟾 and the author of the Jin dan da cheng ji 金丹大成 集, “Collection of the Great Compendium of the Golden Elixir,” (→ Jin dan da cheng 金丹大成).

AN Jing fang xiao pin 經方小品, “Small Essays on Classical Recipes.” The book was one of the obligatory texts for Tang 唐 dynasty medical officials. The original text is lost and only an incomplete version survives, but fragments are preserved in the → Tang ben cao 唐本草, the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方, the → TJBC, and the → ZLBC, from where LSZ takes his material. He refers to the text as Xiao pin fang [42] and as Xiao pin 小品, “Small Essays,” [14]. Xiao Shi 蕭史 [1] Spring and Autumn period shaman from the state of Qin 秦, a contemporary of → Qin Mu gong 秦穆公. He once used qian fen 鉛粉 to prepare an “elixir of floating clouds” (fei yun dan 飛雲丹) for cosmetic application. This is recorded in the → Zhong hua gu jin zhu 中華古今注 of Ma Gao 馬縞, the → Shi wu ji yuan 事物紀原, and other books. LSZ cites the story in SE shui yin fen 水銀粉 but does not specify his source. Xiao shuo 小説, “Minor Tales” Literary genre recording curious and trivial phenomena, events, etc. Used by LSZ as a source for information on medical recipes, pharmaceutical substances or illnesses, e.g., in SE long 龍: “In xiao shuo literature it is said that the nature of dragon is rough and fierce, that he loves beautiful jade and green malachite, and that he has a special liking for the meat of swallows.” A lot of brush note literature (bi ji 筆記) resembles this type of text, and minor tales of a certain era are commonly identified by association with their time of compilation. Following this custom, LSZ speaks of → Tang xiao shuo 唐小説 [3] but also refers to Xiao shuo [3] more generally. Xiao shuo 消説, “Explanation of Saltpeter” [1] An explanation on saltpeter (xiao shi 硝石), not the name of a text. The → TJBC states: “When the physicians in the South discuss saltpeter, there are some that have slightly different [views], they have a saying that goes…” (nan fang yi ren lun xiao huo xiao yi, you zhu shuo yun 南方醫人論消或小異,有著説云). LSZ takes this over as “the physicians in the south have written an ‘explanation of saltpeter’” (nan fang yi ren zhu xiao shuo 南方醫人著消説) The term zhu shuo 著 説 in the TJBC was not meant to imply that someone had written a book, therefore LSZ’s reference to a text titled Xiao shuo is incorrect. Xiao ya 小雅 → Shi jing 詩經 Xiao Xianming 蕭顯明 (6th century) [1] This is the style name of Xiao Xin 蕭欣, a scholar of the Northern Zhou 周 dynasty, grandson of the younger brother of → Liang Wu di 梁武帝. He held various posts, including that of Director of the Department of State Affairs (shang shu ling 尚書令). Author of a now lost → Liang shi 梁史.

He later moved to Kuai ji 會稽, now Shao xing 紹興 in Zhe jiang 浙江. Served as Grand Councilor (zai xiang 宰相). The Shi shuo xin yu 世説新語, “New Accounts of Tales of the World,” (→ Shi shuo 世説) relates the story of someone asking Xie why polygala root (yuan zhi 遠志) was known under two names. Before Xie could reply, Hao Long 郝隆 answered: “If you stay, you will be someone with a far reaching mind; if you leave, you will be but a small herb” (chu ze wei yuan zhi chu ze wei xiao cao 處則為遠志出則為小草).

Xu feng yu 許奉御, “Chief Steward Xu” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty medical official of the zhen guan 貞觀 reign period (627-649). According to the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外台秘要, when → Zhang Wenzhong 張文仲 was still young he once was treated by the brothers of Xu feng yu as well as some physicians called Chai 柴 and Jiang 蔣 (referred to by LSZ as the Chai Jiang zhu ming yi 柴蔣諸名醫, “All the Famous Physicians Chai and Jiang” [1]). Looking at the Chief Stewards serving in the imperial pharmacy during the zhen guan and yong hui 永徽 reign periods (650-655), we find a Xu Xiaochong 許 孝崇 as well as two other medical officials surnamed Xu: Xu Hongzhi 許弘直 and Xu Honggan 許弘感. At the same time physicians surnamed Jiang serving in the imperial pharmacy included the Chief Stewart in the Palace Medical Service (shang yao feng yu 尚藥奉御) Jiang Jizhang 蔣季璋, the Supervisor of the Pharmacy of Heir Apparent (tai zi yao zang jian 太子藥藏監) Jiang Jiyu 蔣季
549 瑜, the Pharmacy Deputy Supervisor (yao zang jian cheng 藥藏監丞) Jiang Yifang 蔣義方, the Imperial Physician (tai yi ling 太醫令) Jiang Jiwan 蔣季琬, and the Aide to the Imperial Physician (tai yi cheng 太醫丞) Jiang Maochang 蔣茂 昌. All these persons were among the editors of the Xin xiu ben cao 新修本草, “Newly Revised Materia Medica,” (→ Tang ben cao 唐本草). A renowned physician with the family name Chai 柴 could not be identified. Xu Guang 徐廣 (352-425) [1] Jin 晉 and Liu Song 劉宋 official and historiographer. Style name Yemin 野民. Xu’s ancestral home was in Jin ling 晉陵 in modern Jiang su 江蘇, but he grew up in Jing kou 京口, now Zhen jiang 鎮江 in Jiang su. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties period he served as a Grand Master of Palace Leisure (zhong san dai fu 中散大夫) for Liu Song. Author of the Shi ji yin yi 史記音義, “Pronunciation and Meaning in the Records of the Grand Scribe.” When the → TJBC quotes Xu Guang’s annotations to the → Shi ji 史記, this is always a reference to the Shi ji yin yi. LSZ takes one comment over in SE shi 蓍. Xu Han shu 續漢書, “History of the Second Han” Private history of the Eastern Han dynasty, the earliest of its kind. AN Hou Han shu 後漢書, “History of the Later Han.” Written by → Xie Cheng 謝承 from the state of Wu 吳 during the Three Kingdoms period. 130 juan (AV 133 juan). The book, written in annal-biography style (ji zhuan ti 紀傳體), recorded the entire period of Eastern Han 漢 but lacked the usual imperial annals (di ji 帝紀). The original text is lost, but fragments are found in the → Shui jing zhu 水經注, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other sources. Based on these fragments, LSZ cites the book as Xu Han shu [5], as Hou Han shu [1], and also refers to an individual section of the work, the Xu Han wu xing zhi 續漢五行志, “Treatise on the Five Phases in the [History of the] Second Han,” [1]. Xu Han wu xing zhi 續漢五行志 → Xu Han shu 續漢書 Xu Hong 許洪 [2] Southern Song 宋 medical official and expert in pharmaceutics. Style name Keda 可大, a man of Wu yi 武夷, now Chong an 崇安 in Fu jian 福建. He is said to have been a third-generation physician and gained a teaching post at the imperial academy of medicine in 1208. Because of his expertise in pharmaceutics, he was put in charge of the identification of pharmaceutical substances at the pharmaceutical bureau in the capital of Hang zhou 杭州. In this capacity he expanded and annotated the imperial → He ji ju fang 和劑局方. Xu was also the author of a → He ji zhi nan zong lun 和劑指南總論 which precedes the text of the He ji ju fang. Xu Huan 許渾 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty poet and high official. Style name Yonghui 用晦. Originally from An lu 安陸, now An lu city in Hu bei 湖北, but later resided in Dan yang 丹陽 in present-day Jiang su 江蘇. Jin shi 832. From 849 on he held posts such as Investigating Censor (jian cha yu shi 監察御史) or prefect (ci shi 刺史) of Mu zhou 睦州 and Ying zhou 郢州. He published a poetry collection titled Ding
550 mao ji 丁卯集, “Ding mao Collection.” One of its poems, the Ji ti Shang luo Wang Yinju 寄題商洛王隠居, “Question Sent to Wang the Recluse of Shang luo,” contains the line “follow the bee to gather wild honey; pursue the deer to gather sheng xiang” (sui feng shou ye mi xun lu cai sheng xiang 隨蜂收野蜜尋麝採生香). The → ZLBC cites this, and LSZ takes it over in SE lu 麝. Xu Ji 徐積 → Xu Zhen 徐稹 Xu Jian 徐堅 (659-729) [2] Tang 唐 dynasty high official. Style name Yuangu 元固, a man of Chang cheng 長城 in Hu zhou 湖州, now Hu zhou in Zhe jiang 浙江. He held high court offices and has a biography in the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書). Xu Jian participated in the compilation of the → Chu xue ji 初學記. Xu Jieweng 徐介翁 [1] Late Song 宋, early Yuan 元 person. Details about his life are unavailable. The → Dan liao fang 澹寮方 lists a recipe of his to cure hemilateral headache. LSZ cites this second hand in SE qiu yin 蚯蚓. Xu Kai 徐鍇 (920-974) [7] Southern Tang 唐, early Song 宋 lexicographer. Style name Chujin 楚金, a man of Guang ling 廣陵, now Yang zhou 揚州 in Jiang su 江蘇. Xu was a calligrapher and fine writer and held various court posts. He was the younger brother of the equally famous → Xu Xuan 徐鉉 and the author of various books including the Shuo wen jie zi xi zhuan 説文解字系傳, “Tradition of the System of the Shuo wen jie zi,” (→ Shuo wen jie zi 説文解字 ) and the → Sui shi guang ji 歲 時廣記. He also wrote an introduction to the → Shi xing ben cao 食性本草 of → Chen Shiliang 陳士良. LSZ refers to him in connection with these lexicographical texts and an annotation to the → Za xiu yang shu 雜修養書. Xu Kai zhu Shuo wen 徐鍇注説文 → Shuo wen jie zi 説文解字 Xu Ke’an 徐克安 [1] Southern Song 宋 person. When his wet nurse once suffered from “worm-attachment teeth” (zhu ya 蛀牙) she was cured with jing mian cao 鏡面草. The → Pu ji fang 普濟方 lists this recipe but does not specify its source. LSZ cites the same material in SE luo yan cao 螺厴草 as well, referring it to the → Yang shi jia cang fang 楊氏家藏方, but the Yang shi jia cang fang extant today contains no such recipe. Xu Ke’an is also referred to in the → Jing yan fang 經驗方 of → Chen Rihua 陳日華, so that he appears to have lived during the Southern Song. Xu Ming 許明 [1] Person of early Tang 唐 times or before. The → Wai tai mi yao fang 外台秘要方 quotes the → Gu jin lu yan fang 古今錄驗方 with the line “recipe of Xu Ming to cure people with a long-lasting cough bringing them close to death” (Xu Ming liao ren jiu ke yu si fang 許明療人久咳欲死方). LSZ cites this in SE yu 榆 as “if a person has a long-lasting cough bringing them close to death, Xu Ming then has an effacious recipe” (jiu ke yu si Xu Ming ze you xiao fang 久嗽欲死許明則有效
551 方). The latter part of this sentence is easily misinterpreted as a book called You xiao fang 有效方, “Effacious Recipes,” by an author called Xu Mingze 徐明則. Xu Mingze 許明則 → Xu Ming 許明 Xu mo ke hui xi 續墨客揮犀, “Sequel to the Casual Conversations among Literati” [1] Collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Dan sheng tang shu mu 澹生堂 書目, “Catalogue of Dan sheng Hall.” Sometimes attributed to the Song 宋 author → Peng Sheng 彭乘. 1 juan, extant edition 10 juan. In SE zhu she 諸蛇, LSZ cites the plant name wo cai 萵菜 from this book. In SE wo ju 萵苣 he cites material on wo cai as well but erroneously gives the → Mo ke hui xi 墨客揮犀 as his source. Xu Muzhai 徐木齋 [1] Ming 明 dynasty person. LSZ mentions him in SE jiu 韭 in connection with a recipe for rabid dog bites, which he cites from a book called Jian bian 簡便, “Simple and Convenient.” This is the → Jian bian fang 簡便方 of → Yang Qi 楊 起. The original text simply labels the same recipe “Xu says” (Xu yun 徐云) without mentioning the full name of this person. There is a Ming dynasty book called Jian bian zhu fang 簡便諸方, “Various Simple and Convient Recipes,” (c. 1566) compiled by the official Xu Zhi 徐陟 (literary name Dazhai 達齋). However, the recipe LSZ quotes in the BCGM is not found in Xu’s Jian bian zhu fang, and the identity of the Mr. Xu referred to in Yang Qi’s Jian bian fang remains uncertain. Given the similarity of names and book titles, LSZ may have identified the label “Xu says” as Xu Dazhai 徐達齋, erroneously writing Xu Muzhai. Later, beginning with the Qian Weiqi 錢蔚起 edition, all BCGM editions for reasons unknown changed the name Xu Muzhai 徐木齋 to Xu Benzhai 徐本齋. Xu Qi xie ji 續齊諧記, “Supplement to the records of Qi xie” [3] Liang 梁 dynasty collection of tales of the strange (zhi guai xiao shuo 志怪小説). FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Wu Jun 吳均 (erroneously called Wu Yun 吳筠 in the Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang”). 1 juan, the currently circulating version is incomplete. The work was intended as a sequel to the Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty → Qi xie ji 齊諧記 (see there for an explanation of the term qi xie 齊諧) of Dongyang Wuyi 東陽無疑 and included many miraculous stories. The original text is lost, but fragments are quoted in the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺, the → TJBC, and other works. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text, taking his material from the → ZLBC. He once mistakenly attributes the text to → Xue Yongruo 薛用弱. Xu renze 許仁則 Famous physician of the Tang 唐 dynasty. Details about his life are lacking. The Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises,” makes him the author of the → Zi mu mi lu 子母秘錄, a text on gynecology and obstetrics, but this is uncertain. The → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘 要方 cites Xu Renze on a number of occasions in connection with various med-
552 ical topics but never with gynecological and obstetrical disorders. LSZ refers to Xu as Xu Renze [1] and quotes his recipes as Xu Renze fang 許仁則方, “Recipes of Mr. Xu Renze” [3]. Xu Renze fang 許仁則方 → Xu Renze 許仁則 Xu Shanxin 許善心 (558-618) [1] Sui 隋 dynasty high official. Style name Wuben 務本, a man of Bei xin cheng 北 新城 in Gao yang 高陽, now part of He bei 河北. He held court offices under the Chen 陳 and Sui dynasties and wrote a number of books, of which the → Fu rui ji 符瑞記 is listed by LSZ in his bibliographical sections. Xu Shen 許慎 (c. 58-147) Eastern Han 漢 scholar of classical learning. Style name Shuzhong 叔重, a man of Ru nan 汝南, now Yan cheng 郾城 in He nan 河南. Xu was a student of the famous Han scholar Jia Kui 賈逵 and held a court office. Well-versed in the Confucian classics, he was the author of various books including the → Shuo wen jie zi 説文解字 . LSZ refers to him as Xu Shen [70] and Xu shi 許氏, “Mr. Xu,” [17]. Xu Shenweng 徐神翁, “divine Old Man Xu” [1] This is Xu Shouxin 徐守信, a Northern Song 宋 hermit. Fl. approx. during the reign of → Song Zhe zong 宋哲宗 (r. 1186-1110). A man of Hai ling 海陵, now Tai zhou 泰州 in Jiang su 江蘇, resided in Tai zhou 泰州 in the Tian qing 天 慶 monastery. Some recipes of his were transmitted through the ages. The → Pu ji fang 普濟方 quotes a → Hai shang fang 海上方 with a recipe to rinse the eyes and clear eyesight associated with Xu, and LSZ takes this over in SE zhe 柘. Xu shi 許氏 → Xu Shen 許慎 Xu shi 徐氏, “Mr. Xu” [1] Unidentifiable author of the → Zong gui dui lei 總龜對類. Further details are unavailable. [5] In → Xu shi jia chuan fang 徐氏家傳方, this is a likewise unidentifiable author.
[3] In → Xu shi tai chan fang 徐氏胎產方, this is the author Xu Shouzhen 徐 守貞 (AV Xu Shouzhen 徐守真), an expert in gynecology, probably of the early Ming 明. A man from a place called Jin chuan 金川. No further details available.
[1] In a case study by Lu Yan 陸曮 (→ Lu shi 陸氏 ) in SE hong lan hua 紅 藍花, this is a Southern 宋 person. A man of Xin chang 新昌 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江. When his wife suffered complications during parturition, he called upon the famous physician Lu Yan and had him brought from 200 li away by sedan chair. Lu diagnosed the patient as suffering from “blood heart-pressure” (xue men 血悶) and cured her by a fumigation therapy with saffron decoction. Xu shi jia chuan fang 徐氏家傳方, “recipes Transmitted by Mr. Xu’s Family” [5] Medical recipe book. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by an unidentifiable Xu shi 徐氏, “Mr. Xu.” Further details unavailable. LSZ appears to be the only author citing this text.
553 Xu shi jun 徐使君, “Commissioner Xu” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official. Personal name unknown. A man of Qu zhou 衢州 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江. According to the → Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急 方, he was conferred a recipe to treat “pin-illness with swelling” (ding zhong 疔 腫) by → Han Guang 韓光 during the early zhen guan 貞觀 reign period (627649). LSZ cites this in SE ai 艾. Xu shi quan fang 續十全方, “Sequel to the recipes for Perfect Cures” [8] Lost medical recipe book. EE → ZLBC. Nothing is known about the work, which may or may not be a continuation to the Northern Song 宋 → Shi quan bo jiu fang 十全博救方 of Liu Fu 劉甫. The ZLBC preserves some recipes, and LSZ cites these second hand in his main text without mentioning a Xu shi quan fang in his bibliographical sections. Xu shi tai chan fang 徐氏胎產方, “Mr. Xu’s recipes for Pregnancy and Birth” Probably an early Ming 明 gynecological text. FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” Written by Xu Shouzhen 徐守貞 (→ Xu shi 徐氏 ). 1 juan (AV 3 juan). The book was a collection of simple and easy to use gynecological recipes. It was included in the → Qing nang za zuan 青囊雜纂 of 1459. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections but cites it in the main text as Xu shi tai chan fang [3] and Tai chan fang 胎產方, “Recipes for Pregnancy and Childbirth,” [1] without mentioning the author explicitly. Xu Shuwei 許叔微 (1079- c. 1154) Southern Song 宋 physician and official. Style name Zhike 知可, a man of Bai sha 白沙 in Zhen zhou 真州, now Yi zheng 儀征 in Jiang su 江蘇. Xu’s family is said to have been very poor, and his parents died of disease one after the other when he was eleven years old. As an adult, he studied medicine diligently and acquired a jin shi degree in 1132. He held teaching posts in Hui zhou 徽州 and Hang zhou 杭州 and was a scholar at the Academy of Scholarly Worthies (ji xian yuan 集賢院), thus his nickname Xu xueshi 許學士, “Scholar Xu.” Xu was the author of the → Shang han ge 傷寒歌, the Shang han fa wei lun 傷寒發微 論, “Discourse Unfolding the Subtleties of Harm Caused by Cold,” the → Ben shi fang 本事方, the Shang han jiu shi lun 傷寒九十論, “Ninety Discourses on Harm Caused by Cold,” and other books. LSZ refers to Xu as Xu Shuwei [17] and as Xu xueshi [23]. Xu shui jing 續水經, “Sequel to the Classic of Waters” [2] Lost Tang 唐 dynasty geographical text. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Lu Yin 陸禋. DC and size uncertain. The Song 宋 dynasty writer Wen Ying 文瑩 quotes a passage on pheasants (zhi 雉) from the work in his Yu hu qing hua 玉壺淸話, “Pure Conversations from the Jade Cup,” which was later integrated into the → Shuo fu 説郛. LSZ, in turn, quotes the Yu hu qing hua passage second hand from there in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Xu Sibo 徐嗣伯 (5th century) Southern Qi 齊 dynasty physician, the younger brother of → Xu Wenbo 徐文伯. He is said to have been exceptionally skilled in medicine and to have diagnosed
554 and treated people with great success. LSZ takes over these stories, referring to Xu as Xu Sibo [4] and as Sibo 嗣伯 [5]. Xu sou shen ji 續搜神記, “Sequel to the records of Searching for the Supernatural” [2] This is LSZ’s name for the Sou shen hou ji 搜神後記, “Later Records of Searching for the Supernatural,” a Jin 晉 dynasty collection of tales of the strange (zhi guai xiao shuo 志怪小説). FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by Tao Qian 陶潛 (→ Tao shi 陶氏 ). 10 juan. The book is a continuation of the → Sou shen ji 搜神記 of → Gan Bao 干寶, a record of stories about immortals, ghosts, and magical transformations. The original book is lost, but fragments are found in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and other books. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text, probably taking his material from the Tai ping yu lan. Xu tai cheng 徐太丞, “Grand aide Xu” [1] Southern Song 宋 official. Personal name unknown, a man of Qi zhou 蘄州, now Qi chun 蘄春 in Hu bei 湖北. He served as Grand Aide (tai cheng 太丞) and apparently passed on a recipe for treating difficult births to → Shi shao qing 施少卿. LSZ cites this in SE xun lu xiang 薰陸香. Xu wang 徐王 → Xu Zhicai 徐之才 Xu wang fang 徐王方, “Prince Xu’s recipes” Lost medical recipe book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Xu Zhicai 徐之才. DC 6th century. Some fragments are preserved in the → Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急 方, the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方, the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺, and other books. LSZ cites the text second hand from these works as Xu wang fang [4], and one second hand citation of a → Xu wang jing yan fang 徐王經驗方 [1] is probably taken from this text as well. Xu wang jing yan fang 徐王經驗方, “Tried and Proven recipes of Prince Xu” [1] This is probably an erroneous designation for the → Xu wang fang 徐王方 of → Xu Zhicai 徐之才 cited second hand from the → TJBC. In the Jin ling 金 陵 edition of the BCGM the character wang 王 resembles the character yu 玉, which makes the title Xu Yu jing yan fang 徐玉經驗方, “Tried and Proven Recipes of Xu Yu,” [1]. Xu Wenbo 徐文伯 (5th century) Southern Qi 齊 dynasty physician. Style name Dexiu 德秀, a man of Dan yang 丹陽, now Nan jing 南京 in Jiang su 江蘇. From a family of renowned physicians, he was noted for his medical skills. He was the author of the now lost → Xu Wenbo fang 徐文伯方. Some information about Xu’s life as well as some of his case records are found in the biography of Zhang Shao 張邵 in the → Nan shi 南史. A few of these cases are cited by the → ZLBC and taken over by LSZ, who refers to Xu as Xu Wenbo [3] and Wenbo 文伯 [2].
555 Xu Wenbo fang 徐文伯方, “recipes of Xu Wenbo” [1] Lost medical recipe book.FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Xu Wenbo 徐文伯. DC 5th century. 2 juan. The → ZLBC lists the title in its bibliography but does not cite any recipes from it. In its main text it only takes over Xu’s case records from the → Nan shi 南史. Accordingly, LSZ only lists the title in his bibliography and does not cite any recipes but only case studies in his main text. Xu Wugui pian 徐無鬼篇 → Zhuang zi 莊子 Xu xian zhuan 續仙傳, “Further Biographies of Immortals” [1] Southern Tang 唐 dynasty Daoist book. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解 題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” Written by Shen Fen 沈汾. 3 juan. The text is a record of 36 persons who flew into the air and vanished. LSZ cites the example of → Zhuru zi 朱孺子 from it in his main text. Xu Xiaochong 許孝崇 (7th century) Tang 唐 dynasty expert in pharmaceutics. He was a member of the committee headed by Su Jing 蘇敬 (→ Su Gong 蘇恭) for the compilation of the Xin xiu ben cao 新修本草, “Newly Revised Materia Medica,” (→ Tang ben cao 唐本草). The → Qie zhong fang 篋中方 is generally assigned to one Xu Xiaozong 許孝 宗 [2], but this is probably an error for Xu Xiaochong. Xu Xiaozong 許孝宗 → Xu Xiaochong 許孝崇 Xu Xuan 徐鉉 (917-992) Late Five Dynasties, early Song 宋 lexicographer. Style name Dingchen 鼎臣, a man of Guang ling 廣陵, now Yang zhou 揚州 in Jiang su 江蘇. He originally served the Southern Tang 唐 but after its fall went over to Song and held a court office. His younger brother → Xu Kai 徐鍇 enjoyed equal fame, and both were known as the Er Xu 二徐, “Two Xu [Brothers],” or Da xiao Xu 大小徐, “Older and Younger Xu,” for their literary scholarship. Because of his linguistic skills, Xu Xuan received an imperial order to participate in a revision of the → Shuo wen jie zi 説文解字 . The edition he produced was later called the Da Xu ben 大徐本, “Edition of the Older Xu,” (→ Shuo wen jie zi 説文解字 ). Xu Xuan was also the author of the → Ji shen lu 稽神錄 and other books and participated in the composition of the → Jiang nan lu 江南錄. LSZ cites the Ji shen lu as well as Xu’s annotations to the Shuo wen jie zi, referring to Xu as Xu Xuan [7] and as Xuan 鉉 [2]. Xu Xuan zhu Shuo wen 徐鉉注説文 → Shuo wen jie zi 説文解字 Xu xueshi 許學士 → Xu Shuwei 許叔微 Xu yan wang 徐偃王, “King yan of Xu” [1] Chieftain of the Xurong 徐戎 tribe in Western Zhou 周 times. He united the “nine barbarian tribes” (jiu yi 九夷) to attack the Zhou. According to the → Bo wu zhi 博物志 , his mother was a palace concubine who fell pregnant but gave birth to an egg. The egg was discarded at a river bank where a dog took it into his mouth and returned it. An old mother kept it warm and covered it until eventually it hatched a child, the later Xu Yan wang. LSZ cites this in SE ren gui 人傀.
556 Xu yanchun 徐彥純 (died 1384) Late Yuan 元, early Ming 明 expert in pharmaceutics. Style name Yongcheng 用 誠, a man of Kuai ji 會稽 in Shan yin 山陰, now Shao xing 紹興 in Zhe jiang 浙江. As a young man, he resided in the Wu 吳 area and taught the → Chun qiu 春秋 . He is only indirectly associated with the medical current of → Zhu Zhenheng 朱震亨, but LSZ considers him a disciple of the latter. Xu was the author of the Yi xue zhe zhong 醫學折衷, “Synthesis of Medical Studies,” a text that included the teachings of Zhu Zhenheng, → Liu Wansu 劉完素, and → Li Gao 李杲. This was later expanded by → Liu Chun 劉純 to produce the → Yu ji wei yi 玉機微義. Xu was also the compiler of another eclectic work, the → Ben cao fa hui 本草發揮. LSZ refers to him as Xu Yanchun [1] and as Xu Yongcheng 徐用誠 [3]. Xu yaochen 許堯臣 [1] Person of Ming 明 times or earlier. LSZ lists a recipe associated with him in SE fan shi 礬石, but the origin of this is uncertain. Xu yi 徐儀 [1] Tang 唐 or pre-Tang person. The → Tang ben cao 唐本草 quotes a pharmaceutical illustration (yao tu 藥圖) associated with him, which LSZ takes over as → Yao cao tu 藥草圖. Further details are uanavailable. Xu ying hua 續英華, “Sequel [to the Poems] of Luxuriant Beauty” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty poetry collection, complete title Xu ying hua shi yuan 續英華詩 苑, “Sequel to the Poetry Garden of Luxuriant Beauty.” Compiled by the monk Huijing 慧靜 of Ji guo 紀國 monastery. DC zhen guan 貞觀 reign period (627649). 10 juan. The book is a collection of 300 poems. The → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾 遺 quotes from it the two lines “a horse holds alfalfa leaves in its mouth; a sword retains its luster with pi ti ointment.” This couplet originates from the poem Du guan shan 度關山, “Passing Fortresses and Mountains,” of the Liang 梁 dynasty poet Dai Gao 戴暠. LSZ cites the same fragment second hand in SE pi ti 鸊鷉. Xu yinzong 許胤宗 Physician and medical official during the Chen 陳, Sui 隋, and Tang 唐 dynasties. A man of Yi xing 義興 in Chang zhou 常州. During Chen times he cured the empress dowager → Liu tai hou 柳太后 of a “wind disease” (feng bing 風 病) with the steam of a decoction of huang qi 黃耆. During the Sui he served as Chief Stewart of Palace Medications (shang yao feng yu 尚藥奉御) and during the Tang wu de 武德 reign period (618-626) he was appointed as Gentleman Cavalier Attendant (san qi shi lang 散騎侍郎). The Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書) contains his biography. LSZ refers to him as Xu Yinzong [2] and Yinzong 胤宗 [1]. Xu yongcheng 徐用誠 → Xu Yanchun 徐彥純 Xu yongxuan 徐用宣 [1] Early Ming 明 physician, fl. 14th century. A man of San qu 三衢, now Qu zhou 衢州 in Zhe jiang 浙江. Born into a family of hereditary physicians, he studied the Confucian classics and medicine as a boy. In his later years he attempted
557 to put the main points of medicine into a book, tracing their development and adding his own ideas, thus producing the → Xiu zhen xiao er fang 袖珍小兒方. Xu you 許由 [1] Legendary hermit at the time of the mythical emperor → Yao 堯. Style name Wuzhong 武仲, a man of Huai li 槐裡 in the southeast of Xing ping 興平 in present-day Shaan xi 陝西. Tang Yao wished to abdicate and offered his position to Xu You who firmly declined.The → Baopu zi 抱朴子 informs that he achieved longevity by ingesting shi liu huang 石硫黃 and zhi 芝. LSZ mentions him in SE shi liu huang 石硫赤. Xu Yu jing yan fang 徐玉經驗方 → Xu wang jing yan fang 徐王經驗方 Xu yuan 許遠 [1] Jin 晉 dynasty person mentioned in a citation from the → You yang za zu 酉陽 雜俎. The You yang za zu writes his name Xu Yin 許隱. He was cured from his toothache by → Zheng Siyuan 鄭思遠, who inserted a tiger’s hair into his tooth. Further information unavailable. Xu yuangong 許元公 [1] Northern Song 宋 person, fl. during the yuan you 元祐 reign period (1086-1093). A distant relative of → Xu Shuwei 許叔微. → Tian Lushi 田錄事 is said to have cured Xu’s dislocated arm with a paste prepared from fresh rehmannia root. This recipe originated from the → Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘後備急方, and the case history was documented in Xu Shuwei’s → Ben shi fang 本事方. LSZ cites the story second hand in SE di huang 地黃 from the → Yi shuo 醫説, which in turn cites from the → Lei shuo 類説. However, he sticks to the original recipe from the Zhou hou bei ji fang by omitting the herb mu xiang 木香, which is included in the Lei shuo recipe. Xu yun fu qun yu 續韻府群玉, “Sequel to the Multitude of Jades from the Storehouse of rhymes” [1] Encyclopedia. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by an unidentifiable → Bao shi 包氏. The book only appears in the bibliographical sections of the BCGM, other available bibliographies or book catalogues do not list it. Further information is unavailable. Xu Zhen 徐稹 Northern Song 宋 official. During the reign of → Song Ren zong 宋仁宗 (r. 1022-1063) he served as Erudite of the Imperial College (guo zi bo shi 國子博 士) and in other posts. According to a report in the → Jiang Linji za zhi 江鄰 幾雜志, he once found a baby with neither fingers on its hands nor blood in its body on the bank of a river in Lu zhou 廬州. Someone identified this creature as a feng 封, a type of an animal. The story was often retold in later centuries, and LSZ cites it second hand as well but erroneously writes Xu’s name Xu Ji 徐積 [1] Xu zhen jun shu 許真君書, “Book of the Perfected Sovereign Xu” [1] Lost book. See bibliography of the BCGM. No author is indicated there. The book is listed in other bibliographies, and according to these the Perfected Sovereign Xu was Xu Xun 許遜 (c. 239-374), a famous Eastern Jin 晉 dynasty Dao-
558 ist. During Song 宋 times, Xu was conferred the title of Shen gong miao ji zhen jun 神功妙濟真君, “Perfected Sovereign of Miracles and Wonderful Benefit,” and was subsequently known as the Xu zhen jun. LSZ cites the text in his bibliographical sections and the main text, but his source remains uncertain. Before Ming 明 times a Xu zhen jun ru yi fang 許真君如意方, “Xu the Perfected Sovereign’s Recipes that Comply with One’s Wishes,” existed, but since that text is likewise lost, there is no way of knowing which book LSZ took his material from. Xu Zhicai 徐之才 (died 572) Northern Qi 齊 physician. Style name Shimou 士茂, a man of Dan yang 丹陽, now Nan jing 南京. Xu’s father was a doctor, and the son followed in his footsteps to become a scholar-physician. He gained the favor of several rulers of the Northern Qi dynasty, which won him high offical posts. Xu was also made prince of Xi yang 西陽 commandery and was therefore called Xu wang 徐王, “Prince Xu.” He died at the ripe old age of 80 and was posthumously named Wenming 文明. Xu was the author of a → Lei gong yao dui 雷公藥對 , the → Xu wang fang 徐王方, and other, more specialized works on “leg qi” (jiao qi 腳 氣). LSZ refers to him as Xu Zhicai [30], as Zhicai 之才 [206], as Xi yang jun wang 西陽郡王, “Prince of Xi yang Commandery,” [1], as Wenming [1], and as Xu wang [7]. Xuan 軒 → Xuanyuan 軒轅, → Huang di 黃帝 Xuan 鉉 → Xu Xuan 徐鉉 Xuan dian 軒典, “Xuan’s Canon” [1] General term for texts attributed to the Yellow Thearch, → Huang di 黃帝 . Xuan 軒 is Xuanyuan 軒轅, the literary name of the Yellow Thearch. LSZ mentions the Xuan dian as a counterpart to the Nong jing 農經, “The Farmer’s Classic,” that is, the → Shen nong ben cao jing 神農本草經. Hence, the term Xuan dian seems to be a reference to the Huang di nei jing 黃帝內經, “Inner Classic of the Yellow Thearch” (→ Huang di su wen 黃帝素問, → Ling shu jing 靈樞經).

A sentence in the preface criticizing the reign of empress Wu Zetian 武則天 (→ Wu hou 武候) as a time of backward thought and decay of Confucianism indicates that the work was written later than the Tang 唐, as this attitude was not prevalent during the times of Wang Bing. Also, the uncouth language strongly differs from Wang’s more refined style of writing, so it is to be assumed that the text is a Song counterfeit. The work was an elaboration of the doctrine of the “five periods and six qi” brought up in the → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問.

In 1506 he was admitted to the Imperial Academy of Medicine and in 1514 gained a position as an imperial physician. He went on to hold even higher positions at the Academy in the capital of Nan jing 南京 but finally retired to his native place in 1530. Xue Ji started his career as a simple wound doctor (yang yi 瘍醫) and only later established a reputation in the more prestigious discipline of internal medicine as well as in gynecology, pediatrics, and bone setting. He was a prolific writer, his works include the Nei ke zhai yao 內科摘要, “Selection of Essentials of Internal Medicine,” the Nü ke cuo yao 女科 撮要, “Synopsis of Medicine for Women,” the → Wai ke xin fa 外科心法, the → Wai ke fa hui 外科發揮, the Wai ke shu yao 外科樞要, “Key Points of the Discipline [Concerned with] External [Diseases and Treatments],” the Xin ti lei yao 心體類要, “Categorized Essentials of Mind and Body,” the Kou chi lei yao 口齒 類要, “Categorized Essentials of Mouth and Tooth [Diseases],” the Li yang ji yao 癧瘍機要, “Crucial Points in [the Treatment of ] Pervasion-Illness with Ulcers,” and the → Wai ke jing yan fang 外科經驗方.

He later served Chu 楚 where he held a minor post at Lan ling 蘭陵 in present-day Shan dong 山東. Xun zi is said to have spent his later years writing books, and his disciples included Han Fei 韓非 and Li Si 李 斯, both legalists. His teachings are recorded in the → Xun zi 荀子.

Basically a Confucian text, the Xun zi was never actually rated as a Confucian classic, since some of the material it contained was classified as unorthodox. There were various annotated editions, the earliest still extant one is by the Tang 唐 scholar → Yang Jing 楊倞. This is the version that LSZ seems to have used, for it is the only one he lists in his bibliography as → Yang Jing zhu Xun zi 楊倞注荀子 [2]. In his main text, he also refers to the original text itself as Xun zi [7].
-yYa jing 鴉經, “Crow Classic” [1] Lost book on divination. Not listed in ancient or recent bibliographies. The Song 宋 author → Hong Mai 洪邁, in his → Rongzhai sui bi 容齋隨筆, attributes an ancient Yin yang ju ya jing 陰陽局鴉經, “Crow Classic of the Yin yang Bureau,” to → Dongfang Shuo 東方朔. The book apparently advised on the art of identifying sounds made by black crows as auspicious or inauspicious omens. LSZ does not list the title in his bibliographical sections but mentions it in SE wu ya 烏鴉. Ya shu 雅述, “refined discussions” Ming 明 dynasty book. Written by → Wang Tingxiang 王廷相. DC 1538. 2 juan. The book, contradicting the Neo-Confucian notion of principle (li 理) originating qi 氣, elaborates the thesis that primordial qi (yuan qi 元氣) is the origin of all things, and that prior to it there is neither things (wu 物), nor principle, nor the Dao. LSZ refers the book to Wang’s literary name Wang Junchuan 王浚川 in his bibliography. He cites the text as Ya shu [2] or simply referring to the text by the name of the author as Wang Junquan [1]. yan 訮 [2] Younger brother of → Cheng Ne 成訥 who obtained a recipe for the treatment of “wind stroke” (zhong feng 中風) from a Daoist named → Zhong Zhen 鐘針. The → ZLBC and some later editions of the BCGM write his name Xin 訢, the → Yi shuo 醫説 and the Jin ling 金陵 edition of the BCGM write Yan. According to the → Shuo wen jie zi 説文解字 , the character xin 訢 stands for xi 喜, “joy,” whereas yan 訮 signifies zheng 諍, “admonish.” Considering the parallelity of meaning beween the characters yan and ne 訥, “restrain oneself from talking too much,” it appears likely that Cheng Ne’s brother was called Yan. yan Fen 顔奮 [1] Official of the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period, fl. during the qing long 青龍 reign period (233-236). Sometimes identified as a person of the Later Zhao 趙 qing long reign period (350). His daughter once suffered from a “wind-illness” (feng ji 風疾) and was cured by a fumigation method. The story
565 is cited in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 from the → Fan Wang fang 范汪方. LSZ takes it over in SE ji 雞 but erroneously misdates the qing long era by adding the character Song 宋. yan Feng 晏封 → Qian ning Yan xiansheng 乾寧晏先生 yan Guanglu 顔光祿 (384-456) [1] This is the nickname of Yan Yanzhi 顔延之, a Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty poet. The name Yan Guanglu 顔光祿, “Glorious [Grand Master] Yan,” derived from Yan’s official title Grand Master of the Palace with Golden Seal and Purple Ribbon (jin zi guang lu dai fu 金紫光祿大夫). Style name Yannian 延年, a man of Lin yi 臨沂 in Lang xie 琅邪, now part of Shan dong 山東. The Ben cao jing ji zhu 本草經集注, “Collected Commentaries on the Classic of Materia Medica,” (→ MYBL) cites some speech of his, and LSZ takes this over. yan guo gong 燕國公, “duke of the State of yan” (667-731) [1] This is the title of Zhang Shuo 張説, a Tang 唐 dynasty high official. Style name Daoji 道濟, alternative style name Yuezhi 說之, a man of Luo yang 洛陽 in present-day He nan 河南. During the reign of → Tang Xuan zong 唐玄宗 (r. 712-756), he was enfeoffed as Duke of Yan 燕. The Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書) has his biography. LSZ quotes a recipe with mutton to cure “cold malaria” (han nüe 寒瘧) from the → Ji yan fang 集驗 方 , stating that “the Duke of the State of Yan witnessed that regular [ingestion] was effective.” There were various Dukes of Yan who lived during the Tang dynasty. The Ji yan fang material, however, is based on a similar statement in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方, which is attributed there to a Yan guo gong Shuo 燕國公説, “Shuo, the Duke of the State of Yan.” This name is frequently used to designate Zhang Shuo, who was obviously the person that transmitted the recipe. Yan hou kou chi fang 咽喉口齒方, “recipes for Throat, Mouth, and Teeth” [1] Lost, anonymous Song 宋 dynasty medical text. FE Chong wen zong mu ji shi 崇 文總目輯釋, “General Bibliography of the Imperial Archive, Arranged and Explained.” 1 juan (AV 5 juan). LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not cite any recipes from it in his main text. yan Jinjue 嚴緊絶 [1] Based on a misunderstanding of his source text, LSZ erroneously regards this as the name of a person. In SE jin ying zi 金櫻子 he cites a recipe for the treatment of chronic dysentery from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, noting that this is “a miraculous recipe of Yan Jinjue” (Yan Jinjue miao fang 嚴緊絕妙方). However, the recipe was copied from the Yuan 元 period → Shi yi de xiao fang 世醫得效方, where it is called “recipe with divine effects” (shen ying san 神應散) and is said “to cure extremely urgent dysentery, stopping it miraculously” (zhi li jin yan jue miao 治 痢緊嚴絕妙). The Pu ji fang takes this wording over, but LSZ apparently mixed up the order of characters, turning jin yan jue 緊嚴絕 into Yan Jinjue 嚴緊絶.

The book did not circulate widely, but LSZ cites a fragment in SE xiao mai 小麥. Yan qin shu 演禽書, “Book on the Interpretation of animal Behavior” Probably lost book on fate and physiognomy. See bibliography of the BCGM. No author indicated. Judging from similar books existing during Qing 清 times, e.g., the Yan qin tong zuan 演禽通纂, “Comprehensive Compilation on the Interpretation of Animal Behavior,” and the Yan qin tu jue 演禽圖訣, “Illustrated Secret Instructions for the Interpretation of Animal Behavior,” such books concerned themselves with divination. They interpreted behavior like food preferences of the 36 animals in terms of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, star constellations, etc., in order to determine people’s fates. LSZ lists the book as Yan qin shu [1] in his bibliographical sections but does not use the name again in his main text. There, he refers instead to a Xing qin 星禽, “Stars and Animals,” [1], to a Xing qin shu 星禽書, “Book on Stars and Animals,” [1], a Qin shu 禽書, “Book of Animals,” [2], and to a Xing qin zhen xing tu 星禽真形圖, “Illustrations of the True Appearances of Stars and Animals,” [1]. All these texts seem to deal with divination and might be alternative names for the Yan qin shu, but which book LSZ actually used remains uncertain. Yan shan Liu shi fang 鹽山劉氏方, “recipe of Mr. Liu from yan shan” [1] Source of recipes, probably not a book.

He was the author of the Kuang miu zheng su 匡謬正俗, “Correcting Errors and Rectifying Customs.” (→ Kan miu zheng su 刊謬正俗) and of annotated editions of the → Ji jiu zhang 急就章 (the Ji jiu zhang zhu 急就章注, “Notes to the Essays for Swift Accomplishment”) and the → Han shu 漢書 (→ Han shu zhu 漢書注). Since the Han shu contains a → Shang lin fu 上林賦 of → Sima Xiangru 司馬相如, LSZ also refers to Yan’s annotations to this poem. Yan shi jia xun 顔氏家訓, “Family Precepts of Mr. yan” Northern Qi 齊 dynasty book. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Yan Zhitui 顔之推. 7 juan (present edition 2 juan). The book discusses methods for managing a household and establishing oneself in society, it attempts to correct fallacies of prevailing customs and gives advice for the education of descendants. It is based on traditional Confucian values but also includes Buddhist ideas of karma. The → ZLBC quotes the book frequently, and LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections as Yan shi jia xun [1] but does not take over any material from the ZLBC. He does, however, cite one fragment from the original book in his main text as Yan Zhitui jia xun 顔之推家訓, “Family Precepts of Yan Zhitui,” [1]. Yan Shigu zhu 顔師古注 → Han shu zhu 漢書注 Yan Shigu zhu Han shu 顔師古注漢書 → Han shu zhu 漢書注 Yan Shigu zhu Shang lin fu 顔師古注上林賦 → Shang lin fu 上林賦 Yan shou fang 延壽方 → San yuan yan shou shu 三元延壽書 Yan shou shu 延壽書 → San yuan yan shou shu 三元延壽書 Yan shou zhu fang 延壽諸方, “Various recipes for Extending Life” [1] Sources for pharmaceutical treatments. LSZ mentions the term yan shou zhu fang in SE yang 羊 when summing up of the therapeutic indications of goat’s blood. None of the names or book titles including the characters yan shou 延壽 mentioned in the BCGM are associated with the application of goat’s blood, and the material collected by LSZ in this context originates from works such as the → Tang ben cao 唐本草, the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方, or the → Ling biao lu yi 岭表錄異. It can therefore be assumed that the term yan shou is not an abbreviated book title but a general reference to books on healthcare. yan Situi 顔思退 [1] Northern Song 宋 official, a lackey (ya ya 押衙) in Hu nan 湖南. The → ZLBC quotes the → Jing yan fang 經驗方 with a a recipe of Yan’s for the treatment of “head wind with clonic pain” (tou feng zhe teng 頭風掣疼). LSZ cites this in SE mi la 蜜蠟.

FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Compiled by → Huan Kuan 桓寬. 10 juan, 60 chapters. The book contains the literary leavings of the debates on salt and iron that took place under → Han Zhao di 漢昭帝 (r. 87-74 BCE) in 81 BC. The discussion about government monopolies, transportation, etc., was carried out by two opposing factions. Its contents touched upon general questions of government, economy, military affairs, and cultural issues. LSZ lists the text in his bibliographical sections and cites material on different names of the otter (shui ta 水獺) in the main text. Yan Wu xing ji 燕吳行紀, “Travel records from yan and Wu” [2] Abbreviation for the Yan Wu xing yi ji 燕吳行役紀, “Records of a Mission to Yan and Wu,” a lost Tang 唐 dynasty book. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文 志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by an unidentifiable Zhang shi 張氏, “Mr. Zhang.” DC reign of → Tang Xuan zong 唐 宣宗 (r. 846-859). 2 juan. The book records conditions observed by a person called Zhang Yunzhong 張允中 during a journey from Yan 燕 to Huai nan 淮南, but whether this is the author is uncertain. The book is quoted in the → TJBC, and LSZ cites the book second hand, referring it to Mr. Zhang every time. yan Xiaozhong 閻孝忠 [10] Northern Song 宋 dynasty expert in pediatrics, fl. 11th to 12th centuries. Incorrectly also called Yan Jizhong 閻季忠. Style name Ziqin 資欽, a man of Da liang 大梁, now Kai feng 開封 in He nan 河南 (AV Xu chang 許昌 in He nan). While holding a court office, his father got to know the medical official → Qian Yi 錢乙, who frequently treated the young Xiaozhong for various diseases. Yan Xiaozhong later collected and revised Qian’s transmitted medical writings and recipes to produce the Xiao er yao zheng zhi jue 小兒藥證直訣, “Straightforward Instructions for Medicinal [Treatment of ] Disease Signs in Children,” (→ Xiao er zhi jue 小兒直訣). His own materials he appended to the end of that work. This part is now called the Yan shi xiao er fang lun 閻氏小兒方論, “Mr. Yan’s Recipes and Discourses on [the Treatment of ] Children,” and cited as → Ji xiao fang 集效方 by LSZ. Yan also wrote a Chong guang bao sheng xin xiao fang 重 廣保生信效方, “Repeatedly Expanded Reliable Efficacious Recipes to Preserve Life,” (→ Xin xiao fang 信效方), which is now lost. yan Xiu 延秀 [3] Tang 唐 dynasty person, father of → He Shouwu 何首烏 and son of → Tian’er 田兒. LSZ mentions him in SE he shou wu 何首烏. Yan yi 衍義 → Ben cao yan yi 本草衍義 Yan yi bu yi 衍義補遺 → Ben cao yan yi bu yi 本草衍義補遺 yan yonghe 嚴用和 (c. 1206-1268) Southern Song 宋 physician.

Author of the → Yi yuan ci huang 藝 苑雌黃. yan yuexuan 嚴月軒 [4] Song 宋 dynasty physician. No details about his life available. The → Pu ji fang 普濟方 cites a recipe for the treatment of “wind swelling” (feng zhong 風腫) and toothache (ya tong 牙痛) that was transmitted in Yan’s family. From this material we know that Yan was a contemporary of → Ma Minshu 馬敏叔, who, in turn, is cited in the → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方 of 1196. Thus, we can approximately date Yan to the Southern Song dynasty. Yan Yuexuan fang 嚴月軒方, “recipes of yan yuexuan” [3] Source of recipes, probably not a book. EE → Pu ji fang 普濟方. A recipe with si gua 絲瓜 of → Yan Yuexuan 嚴月軒 for the treatment of “wind swelling” (feng zhong 風腫) and toothache (ya tong 牙痛) was transmitted through many hands to be cited in the Pu ji fang. LSZ turns this into a book title in his bibliography and cites the Pu ji fang material in his main text, breaking up the original recipe into three separate ones. yan Zhitui 顔之推 (531- c. 590) Northern Qi 齊 literatus. Style name Jie 介, a man of Lin yi 臨沂 in Lang xie 琅邪, now part of Shan dong 山東. He held a court office and was governor (tai shou 太守) of Ping yuan 平原. Author of the → Yan shi jia xun 顔氏家訓, a household manual mainly based upon traditional Confucian ideals but also some Buddhist ideas, and the → Ji sheng fu 稽聖賦. LSZ refers to him as Yan Zhitui [1] and within the title of his book as Yan shi 顔氏, “Mr. Yan,” [1]. Yan Zhitui jia xun 顔之推家訓 → Yan shi jia xun 顔氏家訓 yan zhong cheng 嚴中丞, “Vice Censor-in chief yan” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty official. Personal name unknown. The → Wai tai mi yao fang 外 臺秘要方 cites a recipe to turn white hair and moustache black again from the → Jin xiao fang 近效方, which was apparently obtained from one Yan zhong shu 嚴中書, “Palace Secretary Yan.” LSZ takes this over in SE po luo de 婆羅得 but incorrectly writes Yan zhong cheng 嚴中丞. yan Zhu 嚴助 (died 122 BCE) [1] Western Han writer of ci fu 辭賦 poetry. His original surname Zhuang 莊 was changed due to a naming taboo. A man of Wu 吳 in Kuai ji 會稽, now Su zhou 蘇州 in Jiang su 江蘇. He served → Han Wu di 漢武帝 as a Grand Master of the Palace (zhong dai fu 中大夫) and later became governor (tai shou 太守) of his home area. Some 35 of his fu are known, but none of them survive. Yan Zhu

Style name Pingzhong 平仲, a man of Yi wei 夷維, now Gao mi 高蜜 in Shan dong 山東. He served three generations of rulers in Qi and was known for his good government. The author of the Yan zi chun qiu falsely assumed this name for authorship, gathering the words and deeds of Yan Ying to produce his text. Yan zi chun qiu 晏子春秋, “The Spring and autumn annals of Master yan” Pre-Han 漢 book. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui,” but mentioned as early as the → Shi ji 史記. AN Yan zi 晏子, “Master Yan.” Attributed to the Spring and Autumn period official Yan Ying 晏嬰 (→ Yan zi 晏子) but actually written by a somewhat later author who assembled the words and deeds of Yan Ying and falsely assumed his name for authorship. 8 juan, 215 chapters. LSZ cites the book as Yan zi chun qiu [1] in his bibliographical sections and as Yan zi [1] in the main text. yan Zili 嚴子禮 → Yan Yonghe 嚴用和 yang Cheng 楊誠 Ming 明 or pre-Ming dynasty author of the → Jing yan fang 經驗方 (15). Further details are unavailable.

He lived in Wu xing 吳興 during the reign of Wu di 武帝 (r. 483-493) and suffered from “depletion” (xu 虛) disease for 20 years. Later he underwent a miraculous cure by moxibustion that is recorded in the → Nan shi 南史. LSZ takes this over. yang dengfu 楊登甫 → Yang Shiying 楊士瀛 yang di 煬帝 → Sui Yang di 隋煬帝 yang fei 楊妃 → Yang gui fei 楊貴妃 yang Fu 楊孚 [2] Eastern Han 漢 high official. Style name Xiaoyuan 孝元, a man of Nan hai 南 海, now part of Guang zhou 廣州.

572 yang Gong 楊拱 [13] Ming 明 dynasty physician, fl. late 16th century. A man of Heng zhou 衡州, now Heng yang 衡陽 in Hu nan 湖南. Together with Zheng Yangong 鄭言共 he cured the emissary Chen Yanye 陳燕野 from a disease. On Chen’s orders, Yang compiled a collection of recipes he considered effective to produce the → Yi fang zhai yao 醫方摘要. yang gong 羊公 [1] Immortal of Song 宋 times or before. The → Tai ping sheng hui fang 太平聖惠 方, mentions a Sui Yang gong 随羊公, stating that he regularly ingested a recipe with solomon’s seal, huang jing 黃精, to attain immortality. → Su Song 蘇 頌, when quoting this in his → TJBC, changed the character Sui 隨 to Sui 隋, which may signify both a surname and a dynasty. LSZ, citing second hand from the TJBC, apparently interpreted this as the latter, turning Sui 隋 into Sui shi 隋 時, “during the Sui dynasty.” This dating of a historical person called Yang gong is obviously unfounded. yang gui fei 楊貴妃 (719-756) This is Yang Taizhen 楊太真, the imperial concubine of → Tang Xuan zong 唐 玄宗. Childhood name Yuhuan 玉環. A native of Yong le 永樂 in Pu zhou 蒲 州, now in the southwest of Rui cheng 芮城 in Shan xi 山西. She entered the palace in 744 and soon became the emperor’s favorite. After gaining the title of First-ranking Concubine (gui fei 貴妃), she used her position to advance the power of her relatives. Her influence is considered to have been one of the causes of the An Lu shan 安祿山 rebellion. LSZ cites two methods for quenching thirst associated with her from the → Kai yuan tian bao yi shi 開元天寶遺事. He refers to her as Yang gui fei [2] and Yang fei 楊妃 [1]. yang Guihou 楊歸厚 Tang 唐 dynasty official.

LSZ, following the ZLBC, cites this story from an assumed → Donghua zhenren zhu shi jing 東華真人煮石經. yang Jie 楊介 (fl early 12th century) Northern Song 宋 physician. Style name Jilao 吉老. A man of Si zhou 泗州, now Xu yi 盱眙 in Jiang su 江蘇. From a family of doctors, he attained a post as imperial physician. During the chong ning 崇寧 reign period (1101-1106), he wrote the anatomical work Cun zhen huan zhong tu 存真環中圖, “Illustrations of the Circle’s Center that Preserve the Real,” and other texts. The → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方 and various Song brush notes (bi ji 筆記) include incidents connected with him. LSZ takes some of these stories over, referring to Yang as Yang Jie [2], Yang Jilao 楊吉老 [3], and Jilao [3], among them one about the cure of
573 → Yang Lizhi 楊立之 from a throat abscess, which he cites from the → Lei shuo 類説. yang Jilao 楊吉老 → yang Jie 楊介 yang Jing 楊倞 [2] Tang 唐 dynasty official known for his critical mind.

Style name Yongxiu 用修, literary name Sheng’an 昇 庵, “Rising Hut.” A man of Xin du 新都 in Si chuan 四川, first-ranking jin shi in 1511. He received a Han lin 翰林 Academy appointment but was banished to a regional post in Yun nan 雲南 during the reign of Emperor Shi zong 世宗 (→ Shi zong Su huang di 世宗肅皇帝, r. 1521-1566). He was one of the leading scholars of his generation and the author of more than 100 pieces of writing. His disciple Zhang Shipei 張士佩 compiled his most important works into the Sheng’an ji 昇庵集, “Collection of [Yang] Sheng’an,” (→ Yang Sheng’an ji 楊昇 庵集,) during the wan li 萬歷 reign period (1573-1620). In addition to that, his disciples compiled some of Yang’s texts with the term dan qian 丹鉛, “Cinnabar and Lead,” in the title to produce the Dan qian zong lu 丹鉛總錄, “General Records of Cinnabar and Lead,” (→ Dan qian lu 丹鉛錄). Yang was a slightly younger contemporary of LSZ, who knew of Yang’s reputation and esteemed his books. He cites a number of them, i.e., the Dan qian lu, the Yang Sheng’an ji, and the → Zhi yan 巵言, referring to Yang as Yang Shen [25], as Yang Sheng’an 楊 昇庵 [2], and as Yang shi 楊氏, “Mr. Yang,” [2].

DC 1097. 3 juan (AV 16 juan). The text was considered detailed and easy to use. It is now lost, but fragments are quoted in the → ZLBC, which attributes it to Chu.
575 LSZ takes this over in his bibliography but in addition erroneously attributes the → Gu jin lu yan fang 古今錄驗方 of → Zhen Liyan 甄立言 to Chu Yushi. Therefore his references to Chu might refer to the Yang sheng bi yong fang as well as the Gu jin lu yan fang. Also, the material on Chu’s warning against the “golden tiger and green cloud elixir” (jin hu bi xia dan 金虎碧霞丹) is actually taken from the → Qi dong ye yu 齊東野語, so it seems unlikely that LSZ ever saw the original Yang sheng bi yong fang. LSZ cites another → Bi yong fang 必用方 in the bibliographical sections of the BCGM without indication of an author, probably giving the Yang sheng bi yong fang a double entry. Yang sheng fang 養生方, “recipes to Nurture Life” [1] Medical recipe book. LSZ does not list any book of this name in his bibliographical sections but cites one recipe from it in the main text. This is a second hand quotation of the → Qian jin yi fang 千金翼方 taken from the → ZLBC, so the reference to a Yang sheng fang is probably an error. Yang sheng ji 養生集, “Collection of Nurturing Life” [1] Title of book. Not listed in the bibliographical sections of the BCGM or in any other bibliographical source.

It is preserved in the Ji Zhongsan ji 嵇中散集, “Collection of Ji Zhongsan.” LSZ, treating it as a separate book, gives the text an entry in his bibliography and cites it in the main text. Yang sheng yao ji 養生要集, “Collection of Essentials for Nurturing Life” Eastern Jin 晉 book on life cultivation. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Zhang Zhan 張湛. The book assembled Daoist arts of life cultivation that were developing during the time of its compilation and claimed to contain material going as far back as the mythical culture heroes. It was still extant in Tang times and even circulated in Japan but was lost in subsequent centuries. Fragments are preserved in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and other encyclopedias. LSZ incorrectly cites the text as Yang sheng ji yao 養生集要, “Collected Essentials for Nurturing Life,” [1] in SE jing 粳.

The text purports that knowing one’s mind through life cultivation enables people to avoid error and distortion. It discusses the stages of life from childhood to old age and the principles of preserving one’s health. It also contains some recipes for the treatment of common diseases.

Yang Wenwei fang 楊文蔚方, “recipes of yang Wenwei” [2] Source of pharmaceutical recipes, probably not a book. The → ZLBC quotes recipes by Yang Wenwei to cure “phlegm cough” (tan sou 痰嗽) and “obstruction-illness with ulcer” (yong yang 癰瘍). During the yuan you 元祐 reign period (1086-1093), Yang served as a medical official at the Han lin 翰林 Academy and as instructor at the Imperial Medical Service (tai yi ju 太醫局).

Attributed author of the → Nan xing fang 南行方. There is a biography of a Yang Yan in the → Tang shu 唐書, but that is most probably not the same person. Yang Yaofu fang 楊堯輔方, “recipes of yang yaofu” [2] Source of recipes, probably not a book. See bibliography of the BCGM. There is no such book listed in any other bibliography. Thus, Yang Yaofu was apparently the person who transmitted the recipe quoted in the main text of the BCGM, and LSZ turns this into a book title in his bibliographical sections. yang yi 楊億 (974-1020) [7] Northern Song 宋 official and scholar. Style name Danian 大年, posthumous name Yang Wengong 楊文公, “Yang the Literary Lord.” A man of Pu cheng 浦 城 in Jian zhou 建州, now part of Fu jian 福建, jin shi during the shun hua 淳 化 reign period (990-995).

According to the → Tan yuan 談苑, he once suffered from an ulcer and was cured. LSZ cites this in SE xiong huang 雄黃. Yang zhu jing 養豬經, “The Classic of raising Pigs” [1] Lost book. EE Ben cao jing ji zhu 本草經集注, “Collected Commentaries on the Classic of Materia Medica,” (→ MYBL), not recorded in any of the standard bibliographies and not quoted in any later text. Legend has it that the immortal → Shangqiu zi 商丘子 loved to raise pigs, and according to the → Bo wu zhi 博 物志 , he had his own method of breeding them. It is to be suspected that the Yang zhu jing was compiled under his name by another author. LSZ takes over the fragment from the MYBL in SE zi 梓. yang Zijian 楊子建 [10] This is the style name of Yang Kanghou 楊康侯, a Northern Song 宋 physician, fl. late 11th century.

The → TJBC relates this story, and LSZ takes it over in SE mai fan shi 麥飯石. yangcheng Xuqu 陽城胥渠 Late Spring and Autumn period official of the state of Jin 晉. According to the → Lü shi chun qiu 呂氏春秋, → Zhao Jianzi 趙簡子 killed his beloved mule and took its liver to cure Yangcheng Kenqu of a disease. In SE luo 騾, LSZ refers to him as Kenqu 胥渠 [1] and erroneously as Yangcheng Quken 陽城渠胥 [1], a mistake that was corrected in some editions of the BCGM. yangcheng Quxu 陽城渠胥 → Yangcheng Xuqu 陽城胥渠 yanshan 演山 Abbreviation for the nickname Yanshan shengweng 演山省翁, “Frugal Old Man of Yan shan,” a Yuan 元 dynasty expert in pediatrics, probably from the South. Fl. 2nd half of the 13th century. His given name is unknown, and details about his life are unavailable. Author of the → Huo you kou yi 活幼口議, which is sometimes also attributed to → Zeng Shirong 曾世榮. LSZ refers to the Yanshan shengweng as Yanshan [2] and as Yanshan shi 演山氏, “Mr. Yanshan.” yanshan shi 演山氏 → Yanshan 演山 yanwen 言聞 → Li Yanwen 李言聞 yanxiu 彥修 → Zhu Zhenheng 朱震亨 Yanzhou zhi yan 弇州巵言, “uncertain Words by [Wang] yanzhou” [1] Name of a text mentioned in the BCGM’s preface by → Wang Shizhen 王世貞. Written by Wang Shizhen. DC before 1590. The text did not circulate separately but was part of the accounts section (shuo bu 説部) in Wang’s Yanzhou shanren si bu gao 弇州山人四部稿, “Draft in Four Parts by the Hermit of Yan zhou.” yao 堯 [5] This is the literary name of Tao Tang 陶唐, the legendary ruler of ancient times. LSZ relates various legends associated with Yao. In addition, LSZ uses Yao’s name as a reference to his times, and the name “Yao’s garlic” (yao jiu 堯韭) associates this pharmaceutical substance with the mythical ruler. yao Bosheng 姚伯聲 [1] Early Southern Song 宋 person, also called Yao Lingsheng 姚令聲, the eldest brother of → Yao Kuan 姚寬. In his → Xixi cong hua 西溪叢話, Yao Kuan mentions his brother’s “thirty visitors” (san shi ke 三十客). This is a designation for
582 30 different flowers, each of which was supposed to resemble a type of “visitor” (ke 客), e.g., datura (man tuo luo 曼陀羅) would be the “malicious visitor” (e ke 惡 客). In SE man tuo luo hua 曼陀羅花, LSZ refers to a “flower category” (hua pin 花品) of Yao Bosheng. Yao cao tu 藥草圖, “Illustrations of Medicinal Herbs” [1] Illustration of a pharmaceutical substance by an otherwise unknown → Xu Yi 徐 儀. The → Tang ben cao 唐本草 contains many such pharmaceutical illustrations (yao tu 藥圖), and LSZ cites one associated with Xu Yi in SE ji xue cao 積雪草. Yao dai fu fang 姚大夫方 → Ji yan fang 集驗方 Yao dui 藥對, “Combinations of Pharmaceutical Substances” [24] → Lei gong yao dui 雷公藥對 or [1] In Li Dangzhi yao dui 李當之藥對, “Li Dangzhi’s Combinations of Pharmaceutical Substances,” this is an erroneous name for the → Li Dangzhi yao lu 李當之藥錄. yao Fu 姚福 [2] Ming 明 dynasty official.

Yao held a military office and wrote numerous books including the Qing xi xia bi 青溪暇 筆, “Leisure Notes of the Green Brook.” LSZ mistakenly makes him the author of the → Geng ji bian 庚己編. yao Hezhong 姚和仲 → Yao Hezhong 姚和衆 yao Hezhong 姚和衆 Tang 唐 dynasty expert in pediatrics, sometimes called Yao He 姚和 by later authors. Details about his life are unavailable. Yao was the author of the Yao Hezhong fang 姚和衆方, “Recipes of Yao Hezhong,” or Yao Hezhong xiao er fang 姚 和衆小兒方, “Yao He zhong’s Recipes for [the Treatment of ] Children,” which may or may not be the same book. He also wrote a → Yan ling zhi bao fang 延齡 至寶方 and a → Tong zi mi jue 童子秘訣, but the relationship of these texts to the previous two titles is unclear. Nothing is known about his life. LSZ refers to him as Yao Hezhong [26] and mistakenly as Yao Hezhong 姚和仲 [1]. Yao Hezhong fang 姚和衆方 → Yan ling zhi bao fang 延齡至寶方 Yao jue 要訣 → Zheng zhi yao jue 證治要訣 Yao jue 藥訣 → Yao zong jue 藥總訣 yao Kuan 姚寬 (1105-1162) Man of the Southern Song 宋 dynasty. Style name Lingwei 令威, literary name Xixi 西溪, “Western Creek,” a man of Sheng xian 嵊縣 in Yue zhou 越州, now part of Zhe jiang 浙江. He held high court offices and was the author of the → Xixi cong hua 西溪叢話, the Xixi ji 西溪集, “Collection of [Yao] Xixi,” and other works. LSZ refers to him as Yao Kuan [2] and erroneously as Yao Liang 姚亮 [1].
583 Yao lei fa xiang 藥類法象 → Yong yao fa xiang 用藥法象 yao Liang 姚亮 → Yao Kuan 姚寬 Yao lu 藥錄, “Pharmaceutical records” Name of a book cited by LSZ second hand from the → Tang ben cao 唐本草 in connection with the name of → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景. There are three titles cited in Tao’s Ben cao jing ji zhu 本草經集注, “Collected Commentaries on the Classic of Materia Medica,” (→ MYBL) that include the term yao lu: → Li Dangzhi yao lu 李當之藥錄, Tong jun yao lu 桐君藥錄, “Pharmaceutical Records of Tong jun,” (→ Tong jun cai yao lu 桐君采藥錄), and simply Yao lu. Among these, the Tong jun yao lu was cited most frequently. The Tang ben cao fragment mentions a “second [and last] juan” (xia juan 下卷), so the reference must be to the Tong jun yao lu (that occurred in a 2 juan edition) and not the 6 juan Li Dangzhi yao lu. Yao pu 藥譜, “Treatise on Pharmaceutical Substances” [2] General term for a book on pharmaceutical substances or any book title including the term yao pu. [2] Abbreviation for the → Nan hai yao pu 南海藥譜
In → Hou shi yao pu 侯氏藥譜 [1], this is the Yao ming pu 藥名譜, “Treatise on Names of Pharmaceutical Substances.” yao Qu 瑤眊 [1] Legendary divine sorcerer, also called Shi Er 實毦 and Bao Er 寶眊. According to the → Gu jin zhu 古今注 (2) and the → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎, he was able to identify the misdeeds of all types of demons. After catching one, he would use a stick made of soapberry wood to kill it. LSZ takes this story over in SE wu huan zi 無患子. yao Sengtan 姚僧坦 → Yao Sengyuan 姚僧垣 Yao Sengtan fang 姚僧坦方 → Ji yan fang 集驗方 yao Sengyuan 姚僧垣 (499-583) Northern Zhou 周 physician. Style name Fawei 法衛, a man of Wu kang 武康 in Wu xing 吳興, now De qing 德清 in Zhe jiang 浙江. Yao was a hereditary physician who studied medicine with his father. He was called to the Liang 梁 emperor’s quarters and performed his treatments with some success. After the fall of Liang he served the Northern Zhou 周 as a Junior Grand Master Palace Physician (tai yi xia dai fu 太醫下大夫), hence his nickname Yao dai fu 姚大夫, “Grand Master Yao.” In his later years, he collected recipes that he considered proven to create a → Ji yan fang 集驗方 . Yao has a biography in the Zhou shu 周書, “History of the Zhou.” LSZ refers to him as Yao shi 姚氏, “Mr. Yao,” [3] and incorrectly as Yao Sengtan [24], Sengtan 僧坦 [2], and Seng Shengtan 僧 生坦 [1]. yao shi 姚氏 → Yao Sengyuan 姚僧垣 Yao tu 藥圖 → Tang ben cao 唐本草
584 yao wang pusa 藥王菩薩, “Bodhisattva King of Medicinals” [3] Deity revered for its medical and pharmaceutical abilities. The designation Yao wang pusa appeared early in Chinese translations of Indian Buddhist texts to render the name of the Bhaishajyaguru. From Tang 唐 times on the title King of Medicinals was associated with several other figures, e.g., the auspicious marriage figure Wei Gu 韋古 during Tang, or from Ming 明 times on → Sun Simiao 孫思邈. In many places the people identified their own local King of Medicinals. When the BCGM mentions the Yao wang pusa in citations from the Dongpo liang fang 東坡良方, “Good Recipes of [Su] Dongpo,” (→ Su Shen liang fang 蘇 沈良方), this is a reference to a medical-pharmaceutical deity from the Buddhist pantheon and not to a specific human being. Yao xiang kou jue 藥象口訣 → Yao zong jue 藥總訣 Yao xing 藥性 → Yao xing lun 藥性論, → Yao xing ben cao 藥性本草 Yao xing ben cao 藥性本草, “Materia Medica on the Properties of Pharmaceutical Substances” This is LSZ’s name for the Ben cao yao xing 本草藥性, “Pharmaceutical Properties of Materia Medica,” a Tang 唐 dynasty CMM. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新 唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Zhen Liyan 甄立言 (AV written by → Zhen Quan 甄權). 3 juan. LSZ reverses the original title from Ben cao yao xing to Yao xing ben cao, referring the text to Zhen Quan alone and equating it with the → Yao xing lun 藥性論 cited in the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草. Thus, all his references to the work are cited second hand from the Jia you ben cao and labeled Yao xing ben cao [6], Zhen Quan [356], Quan 權 [195], Yao xing lun [48], Yao xing 藥性, “Properties of Pharmaceutical Substances,” [63], Zhen Quan yao xing 甄權藥性, “Zhen Quan on Properties of Pharmaceutical Substances,” [11], or Zhen Quan ben cao 甄權本草, “Materia Medica of Zhen Quan,” [1]. Current scholarship mostly considers the two texts entirely separate works. Yao xing fu 藥性賦, “rhapsody on the Properties of Pharmaceutical Substances” Texts on pharmaceutical substances composed as songs or fu 賦 poems. [1] LSZ mentions such texts by → Liu Chun 劉純, → Xiong Zongli 熊宗立, and → Fu Zi 傅滋 in the → Ben cao ge kuo 本草歌括 entry in his bibliography but apparently does not cite from them. [1] Abbreviation for the Zhu jie yao xing fu 注解藥性賦, “Annotated and Explained Rhapsody on the Properties of Pharmaceutical Substances,” a Ming 明 dynasty mnemonic fu poem. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Liu Keyong 劉克用. Printed 1484. 1 juan. The text is preceded by a discussion of drug application and therapies according to the four seasons. The main text of the poem is written in large characters, annotations in small characters – these include literary quotations, clinical experiences, or single ingredient recipes. At the end of the text we find a list of conduits and organs with information on appropriate drug application and self-cultivation techniques. LSZ lists the poem in his bibliographical sections but does not appear to cite it in the main text.
585 Yao xing lun 藥性論, “discourse on the Properties of Pharmaceutical Substances” Lost pharmaceutical book of uncertain authorship. See bibliography of the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草. 4 juan. The Jia you ben cao preserves all existing fragments and states that the original work focused on properties, interactions, and indications of pharmaceutical substances. It also notes that the text is sometimes attributed to → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 but that there are major differences between Tao’s work and the Yao xing lun, which make this attribution seem unlikely. The Five Dynasties Qing yi lu 清異錄, “Records of Pure and Extraordinary Matters,” of Tao Gu 陶穀 attributes the text to Meng Guan 孟貫 of the same period. LSZ equates the Yao xing lun with the Tang dynasty Ben cao yao xing 本 草藥性, “Pharmaceutical Properties of Materia Medica” (→ Yao xing ben cao 藥 性本草), thus all his references to the latter text may also be to the former. The Ben cao yao xing was originally considered the work of → Zhen Liyan 甄立言, but LSZ attributes it to Liyan’s brother → Zhen Quan 甄權. Present-day scholarship doubts LSZ’s bibliographical data, but there is also no final consensus about which attribution is correct. LSZ refers to the text (or the texts) as Yao xing lun [48] and Yao xing 藥性, “Properties of Pharmaceutical Substances,” [63]. Yao yan 藥驗, “Medicinal Efficacy” [1] Title of a stone inscription mentioned in SE suan zao 酸棗. The → ZLBC, quoting the → Wu dai shi 五代史, speaks of a “Later Tang stone inscription on medicinal efficacy” (Hou Tang kan shi yao yan 後唐刊石藥驗). These words are found neither in the extant Jiu wu dai shi 舊五代史, “Old History of the Five Dynasties,” nor in the Xin wu dai shi 新五代史, “New History of the Five Dynasties.” If one were to read the phrase kan shi yao yan 刊石藥驗 as “inscribing the effects of mineral drugs,” this would not agree with the contents of the quotation which speaks about red dates. During the Later Tang 唐 (923-936), a stone inscription (kan shi 刊石) would have been an engraved stone tablet rather than cut blocks for printing, so the appropriate reading of kan shi yao yan should be “stone inscription [with the title] Yao yan.” Yao zhun 藥准, “Standards of Pharmaceutical Treatments” [3] Lost Northern Song 宋 medical recipe book. FE Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝文 略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises.” Written by Wen Yanbo 文彥博 (→ Wen Lugong 文潞公). 1 juan. To produce his book, the author selected and briefly annotated 40 recipes of → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景, from the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方, the → Qian jin bei ji fang 千金備急方, and other sources. Fragments are quoted in the → ZLBC, and LSZ cites second hand from this. Yao zong jue 藥總訣, “assembled Instructions on Pharmaceutical Substances” Lost Liang 粱 dynasty book on pharmaceutical substances. See bibliography of the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草. Written by → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景. 2 juan. According to the Jia you ben cao, the text discussed medicinal properties such as flavor or temperature as well as indications and methods and times of harvest. There was apparently also an anonymous text called Yao xiang jiao jue 藥像斅訣,
586 “Instructions to Teach the Appearance of Pharmaceutical Substances,” the contents of which were very similar to the Yao zong jue. LSZ lists the text as Yao zong jue [1] in his bibliographical sections and cites it second hand from the Jia you ben cao as Yao jue 藥訣, “Instructions on Pharmaceutical Substances” [2]. He also refers to the Yao xiang jiao jue material as Yao xiang kou jue 藥象口訣, “Rhymed Instructions on the Appearance of Pharmaceutical Substances” [1]. Ye cai pu 野菜譜, “Treatise on Wild Vegetables” Agricultural text. FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by → Wang Pan 王磐. DC early jia jing 嘉靖 reign period (1522-1567). 1 juan. The text was written to help local people along the Yangzi and Huai 淮 rivers find safe foods during times of drought and famine. It contains 60 entries, each with a mnemonic poem, an illustration, and a brief description of appearance and usage of the respective plant. The text is still extant today as a separate work and as an addendum preceding the main text of the → Shi wu ben cao 食物本草. LSZ cites the text as Ye cai pu [6] and erroneously as Cai pu 菜譜, “Vegetable Treatise” [1]. ye Chaoyi 葉朝議 [1] Southern Song 宋 official. A relative of his successfully used ox-knee root to cure “blood dripping” (xue lin 血淋). LSZ cites this in SE niu xi 牛膝. ye Fashan 葉法善 (616-720) [1] Tang 唐 dynasty Daoist and official. Style name Daoyuan 道元, a man of Kuo cang 括蒼 county in Kuo zhou 括州 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江. Ye is said to have possessed a mirror that was able to reflect the inner organs of people when they were ill. LSZ cites this in SE gu jing 古鏡. ye Jing 葉敬 [1] Name of a man from He nei 河內, now Qin yang 沁陽 in He nan 河南. LSZ, in SE chang pu 菖蒲, cites the → Chang pu zhuan 菖蒲傳 with a report about Ye Jing’s mother, who was was “struck by wind” (zhong feng 中風). She ingested acorus for one year and was cured of all her diseases. ye Mengde 葉夢得 (1077-1148) Southern Song 宋 literary scholar. Style name Shaoyun 少蘊, literary name Xiaoweng 肖翁, “Enfeebled Old Man,” Shilin jushi 石林居士, “Retired Scholar of the Stone Forest.” His ancestral home was in Wu xian 吳縣 in present-day Jiang su 江蘇, but Ye lived in Wu cheng 烏程, now Hu zhou 湖州 in Zhe jiang 浙江. Jin shi 1097. He initially served as a scholar at the Han lin 翰林 Academy but later held high court offices and even a governorship. He was noted for his broad scholarship especially in stories of the past and poetry. His numerous works include the Jian kang ji 建康集, “Collection from Jian kang,” the Shilin shi hua 石 林詩話, “Poetry Talks of [Ye] Shilin,” the Bi shu lu hua 避暑錄話, “Recorded Talks from the Summer Resort,” (→ Bi shu lu 避暑錄), and the Shilin yan yu 石 林燕語, “Pleasant Conversations of [Ye] Shilin.” LSZ also attributes a → Shui yun lu 水雲錄 to Ye, but the identity of that book is uncertain. LSZ refers to Ye as Ye Mengde [2], Ye Shilin 葉石林 [5], and Ye shi 葉氏, “Mr. Ye,” [1].
587 Ye ren xian hua 野人閑話, “Leisure-Hour Conversations of rustics” [2] Early Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記), now fragmentary. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by → Jing Huan 景煥. DC 965. The book records events during the reign of → Meng Chang 孟昶 (r. 934-965) of Later Shu 蜀. Fragments are quoted by the → ZLBC, and an incomplete version of the text is preserved in the → Shuo fu 説郛. LSZ lists the Ye ren xian hua in his bibliographical sections and takes over a passage in the main text from the Shuo fu. ye Sheng 葉盛 (1420-1474) [3] Ming 明 dynasty high official. Style name Yuzhong 與中, a man of Kun shan 崑山 in present-day Jiang su 江蘇. Jin shi 1445. Ye held various court offices and has a biography in the Ming shi 明史, “History of Ming.” His numerous works include the → Shui dong ri ji 水東日記. Ye shi 野史, “unofficial Histories” [5] General term for private histories. LSZ lists a Ye shi in his bibliographical sections and mentions the title four times in his main text. However the material quoted there comes from a number of books and not a single text. The only source LSZ may have been using that actually carries the term ye shi in the title is the Song 宋 period Jiang nan ye shi 江南野史, “Unoffical History of Jiang nan,” of Long Gun 龍袞. The story about → Lu Jiang 盧絳 cited in SE gan zhe 甘蔗 is found in this text. The material cited in SE ren gui 人傀, in comparison, can be found in the → Tong zhi 通志 as well as the → Shu yuan za ji 菽園雜 記. LSZ probably took his material from the latter source, labeling it ye shi for some reason. ye shi 葉氏, “Mr. ye” [12] In connection with the → Zhai xuan fang 摘玄方, this is an author of uncertain identity, possibly an erroneous attribution. [2] In connection with the → Yi xue tong zhi 醫學統旨, this is the book’s author Ye Wenling 葉文齡, a Ming 明 dynasty physician. Style name Dezheng 德 徵, literary name Shifeng zi 石峰子, “Master of Rocky Peak,” a man of Ren he 仁和, now Hang zhou 杭州. After attempting a career as a Confucian scholar Ye switched to medicine. He passed the medical examination at the Ministry of Rites and thereupon obtained a minor office at the Imperial Academy of Medicine (tai yi yuan 太醫院). He was chosen as Imperial Physician (yu yi 御醫) in 1534 and finally, in 1550, changed back to administration to serve as Administrative Assistant (yuan pan 院判).

LSZ refers to it as Yi fang da cheng [15] and as Yi fang ji cheng 醫方集成, “Complete Collection of Medical Recipes,” [1]. The original author Sun Yunxian was a Confucian scholar-physician from Wen jiang 文江, now Ji shui 吉水 in Jiang xi 江西.

LSZ cites the text as Yi jian [3], referring it to a Gong shi 龔氏, “Mr. Gong,” (which could refer to either Gong Xin or Gong Tingxian) in his bibliographical sections and to Gong Yunlin in the main text. There he also refers to the book as Gong shi yi jian 龔氏醫鑒, “Mr. Gong’s Mirror of Medicine,” [1].

Some of the references to a Yi wu zhi without the name of the author given are second hand citations of this work as well, e.g., material in SE mu ke niao 木客鳥 is taken from a Lu ling yi wu zhi fragment in the Tai ping huan yu ji. [1] Referred to → Xu Biao 徐表, this is an erroneous designation for the → Nan zhou ji 南州記 of that same author.

According to LSZ, the text enlightens classics such as the → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問, the → Nan jing 難 經, or the → Mai jue 脈訣 as well as ben cao literature, theory, and recipe texts on miscellaneous diseases. Most of the text is lost, and only the preface, the table of contents, and juan 1 now survive in an incomplete version. In addition, the → Ji sheng ba cui fang 濟生拔萃方 preserves an abridged version not divided into juan. LSZ claims that the book consisted of 9 juan, so it can be assumed that he had the original at his disposal. LSZ only rarely quotes the book by name, but the reference in juan 1 about the “ten medicinal preparations” (shi ji 十劑) is taken from juan 2 of the Yi xue fa ming. Yi xue gang mu 醫學綱目, “Systematic Medical Studies” Ming 明 dynasty comprehensive clinical text. FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文 志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” Written by Lou Ying 樓英 (→ Lou Quanshan 樓全善). DC late 14th century. 30 juan.

The text is divided into chapters according to disease and contains sayings of earlier famous physicians along with recipes and medicinal drugs for treatment. Where the author found discussions of others deficient, he added his own supplements. LSZ cites the book as Yi xue ji cheng [23], as Ji cheng fang 集成方, “Recipes from the Grand Compendium,” [1], and as Ji cheng 集成, “Grand Compendium,” [6]. Yi xue qi yuan 醫學啟源, “Enlightening the Origins of Medical Studies” Comprehensive medical text. FE Wan juan tang mu lu 萬卷堂書目, “Catalogue of the Hall of Ten-thousand Volumes.” Attributed to → Zhang Yuansu 張元素 of the Jin 金 dynasty, but this attribution is sometimes considered a fake. DC uncertain. 3 juan. The work includes material on the doctrine of the “five periods and six qi” (wu yun liu qi 五運六氣) from the → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問 as well as treatment methods for various diseases and information on the qualities of pharmaceutical substances. LSZ considered the text a genuine work of Zhang Yuansu. He does not cite the work in the main text of the BCGM per se but material he refers to the → Jie gu zhen zhu nang 潔古珍珠囊 is virtually identical with some of the Yi xue qi yuan contents. Yi xue qie wen 醫學切問, “Corresponding Questions of Medical Studies” [2] Lost, anonymous medical recipe book. See bibliography of the BCGM. DC 14th century or earlier, size uncertain. More than 20 fragments are preserved in the

Yi xue tong zhi 醫學統旨, “Comprehensive Instructions on Medical Studies” Ming 明 dynasty clinical text. FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” Written by Ye Wenling 葉文齡 (→ Ye shi 葉氏 ). DC 1534. 8 juan. The book combines older knowledge with new advances to facilitate clinical practices such as pulse diagnosis, observation of symptoms, and differentiation of pharmaceutical treatment.

FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文 志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” Written by → Yu Tuan 虞摶. DC 1515. 8 juan. The book conveys the “orthodox transmission” (zheng chuan 正傳) by drawing heavily on classical medical texts such as the → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問, the → Nan jing 難經, and the works of → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景, → Sun Simiao 孫思邈, → Li Gao 李杲, and → Zhu Zhenheng 朱震 亨. To this end, the Yi xue zheng chuan selects the essentials of discussions and recipes from these texts and adds to it recipes from Lu’s own family tradition. Additionally there is a discussion of 50 medical questions along with Lu’s responses to them. LSZ cites the book as Yi xue zheng chuan [30], as Zheng chuan 正傳, “Orthodox Transmission,” [3], and using the author’s name, Yu Tuan [7], as a reference to the book.

FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” DC uncertain. 10 juan. LSZ does not name an author, but two bibliographies record books of this title that were written prior to LSZ’s times: The Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall” lists one by → Chen Jiamo 陳嘉謨 and the modern Zhong guo zhong yi tu shu zong mu 中 國中醫圖書總目, “General Bibliography of China’s Books on Chinese Medicine,” one by → Xue Ji 薛己. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections, but for the one fragment he uses in the main text it remains to be verified which book he is citing from. yi yin 伊尹, “Governor yi” [1] Official of the early Shang 商 dynasty. Yi 伊 was his name and yin 尹 his official title. Sometimes his personal name is given as Zhi 摯. There are various legends about Yi yin, one stating that he was a kitchen slave in the household of Lord Xin 莘 and was given as dowry when Xin’s daughter married the founder of the Shang dynasty, King Tang 湯. Yi yin managed to ingratiate himself with Tang by the flavor of his foods, through which Tang recognized his political talent and made him counselor. From this, later legends constructed Yi as the inventor of medicinal decoctions (tang ye 湯液) and the author of the Tang ye jing 湯液經,
600 “Classic of Decoctions.” This work is said to have been rather important to → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景. Yi yu 醫余, “additional Material on Medicine” Lost, anonymous medical text.

The fragments preserved cite the Mai jue 脈訣, “Rhymed Instructions on [Movements in the] Vessels,” of Liu Yuanbin 劉元賓 (1090) and the → Yang sheng bi yong fang 養生必用方 (1097), so the Yi yu probably dates from the 12th century. LSZ cites the text as Yi yu [2] and as the Yi yu lu 醫余錄, “Records of Additional Material on Medicine,” [2]. Yi yu lu 醫余錄 → Yi yu 醫余 Yi yu tu 異魚圖, “Illustrations of unusual Fish” [2] Lost, anonymous book. FE Chong wen zong mu 崇文總目, “General Bibliography of the Imperial Archive.” DC uncertain. Quoted a number of times in the Song 宋 dynasty → TJBC but not elsewhere, and the title does not appear in any other bibliographies.

FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” Written by → Liu Jingshu 劉敬叔. 10 juan. The collection imitates the pattern of the → Shuo yuan 説苑 and assembles ghost stories and similar material from pre-Qin 秦 times until Liu Song, most of the material dating from the Jin 晉 period. The original text is lost, but substantial fragments are preserved in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記, and other books. The book circulated again from Ming 明 times on as an incomplete version. The → ZLBC also preserves some fragments, and LSZ mainly cites the work second hand from there although he uses excerpts from other books as well. Yi yuan ci huang 藝苑雌黃, “Corrections of art and Literature” [1] Southern Song 宋 collection of brush note stories (bi ji xiao shuo 筆記小説). FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by → Yan Youyi 嚴有翼. 20 juan. The book identified and corrected errors on historical facts, poetry, animals, plants, and divinities. The original text is lost, but fragments are preserved in the → Yu yin cong hua 漁隱叢話 and other books. One fragment on the globefish is taken over by LSZ in SE he tun 河豚. The extant 10 juan version of the Yi yuan ci huang was compiled from such fragmentary pieces but was mixed with material from other books, it is not the original text. Yi zhan 易占, “divination by the [Book of ] Changes” Lost Western Han 漢 book.

Written by → Ren Yu 任豫. Fragments are preserved in the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the Tai ping yu lan, the → Shuo fu 説郛, and other works. LSZ cites the work second hand from various sources. Yi Zhou shu 逸周書, “remaining documents of Zhou” Ancient book. AN originally Zhou shu 周書, “Documents of Zhou,” Ji zhong Zhou shu 汲冢周書, “Documents of Zhou from the Tomb of Ji,” the latter name referring to the fact that some erroneously thought that the work had been recovered along with the Zhu shu ji nian 竹書紀年, “Bamboo Annals,” (→ Ji zhong zhu shu 汲冢竹書). Modern scholarship considers the text a pre-Qin 秦 work with most of the parts dating to Warring States times but imitating an early Zhou style. Including the preface, there are 71 chapters. The present version, which is highly corrupt, dates from the Jin 晉 period and is annotated by Kong Chao 孔晁. LSZ cites the book as Yi Zhou shu [6], as Zhou shu [2], and as Ji zhong Zhou shu [1]. He also refers to an individual section as → Wang hui bian 王會篇 [1]. Yi zi lu 貽子錄, “records of Things Bequeathed to the Son” [1] Anonymous book. EE → Rong zhi sui bi 容齋隨筆. This book was obtained by the father of the Song 宋 author → Hong Mai 洪邁. Hong Mai attributed the book to an author of Later Tang 唐 during the Five Dynasties period. It is an admonition against childish ignorance, and refers to eggplant (qie 茄) as lao su 酪酥, because it tastes like junket (lao 酪) and butter (su 酥). LSZ cites it in his main text only. Yi zong san fa 醫宗三法, “The Three rules of Medical Learning” [2] Ming 明 dynasty book on disease theory. EE BCGM. Written by Feng Yu 馮愈. 3 juan plus a one juan appendix. DC mid-16th century. In writing the book, Feng followed the principle of the → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問 to seek for the root of a disease. Relying also on the work of the Song 宋 medical writer → Chen Yan 陳言 and his concept of “three causes” (san yin 三因) of disease (see → San yin fang 三因方), Feng created “diagrams of the 100 disease signs” (bai zheng tu 百證圖) to explain the origins of disease, pathogenic agents, and main and secondary symptoms. He then proposed treatment methods and specific pharma-
602 ceutical substances. The Yi zong san fa is not mentioned in Ming and Qing bibliographies, and LSZ also fails to list it in his bibliographical sections. He does, however, cite it in the main text of the BCGM. The book survives. The author Feng Yu, style name Shusha 淑沙, was a man of Xiu shui 秀水, now Jia xing 嘉興 in present-day Zhe jiang 浙江. Apart from the Yi zong san fa, he wrote other books such as a Ben cao bing yin 本草病因, “Materia Medica and the Origins of Disease,” which are now lost. Yijian xu zhi 夷堅續志, “Sequel to the records of yijian” [1] Collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記), a sequel to the → Yijian zhi 夷堅志. The Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall,” attributes a book of this name to Xue Ru’ang 薛汝昂 but mentions neither size nor DC. Still extant is a Hu hai xin wen Yijian xu zhi 湖海新聞夷堅續志, “Sequel to the Records of Yijian [Based on] News from the Lakes and Seas” by an unknown Yuan 元 author (AV by Wu Yuanfu 吳元復 of Yuan). This text consists of 2 collections, 17 chapters, and more than 500 stories. It mostly consists of Song 宋 supernatural stories but adds Yuan and pre-Song material as well. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliography but cites it in SE man li yu 鰻鱺魚. Yijian zhi 夷堅志, “The records of yijian” [34] Southern Song 宋 collection of brush note stories (bi ji xiao shuo 筆記小説). FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by → Hong Mai 洪邁. DC after 1198. Originally 420 juan divided into four parts (zhi 志), but only an incomplete version of 260 juan is still extant. The title refers to a man called Yijian 夷堅 who recorded miraculous stories and is mentioned in the → Lie zi 列子. The book focuses on tales of the strange (zhi guai xiao shuo 志怪小説) and miscellaneous anecdotes but also holds some information about the lives of townspeople. It contains abundant literary material including some on medicine and pharmaceutics. Yuan 元 dynasty authors compiled sequels to it such as the → Yijian xu zhi 夷堅續志. yimen zi 羡門子 [1] Jin 晉 or pre-Jin immortal. The → Baopu zi 抱朴子 reports that a person called Yimen zi 移門子 attained immortality by ingesting wu wei zi 五味子. This story was also recorded in the → Dian shu 典術, where a Huai nan gong Yimen zi 淮南公羨門子 is named as central figure. LSZ brings these two alternatives together by naming the Baopu zi as his source but speaking of the Huai nan gong Yimen zi 淮南公羨門子. yin Boqi 尹伯奇 Western Zhou 周 person, the son of → Yin Jifu 尹吉甫. A man of Fang ling 房陵, now Fang xian 房縣 in Hu bei 湖北. His father served as a high-ranking official under King Xuan 宣 of Zhou (827-782 BCE). Yin Boqi served his stepmother with outstanding filial piety and therefore became known as one of the most dutiful sons of antiquity. He is said to have eventually been killed by his own father. LSZ cites these stories about Yin Boqi second hand, referring to him as Yin Boqi [1] and Boqi 伯奇 [2].
603 Yin de lu 陰德錄, “records of Good deeds Performed Secretly” [2] Lost Southern Song 宋 book. See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by → Zhou Bida 周必大. Recipes from the text are preserved in the Yuan 元 period → Yong lei qian fang 永類鈐方, and the → Pu ji fang 普濟方 cites additional material second hand. No other bibliography lists the text, and it is not quoted anywhere else than in the books mentioned. LSZ cites the book second hand from the Pu ji fang. Yin fu jing 陰符經, “Classic of the Secret Talisman” [1] Famous Daoist book. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Traditionally attributed to → Huang di 黃帝 , commentary by → Li Quan 李筌, but → Huang Tingjian 黃庭堅 and other Song 宋 authors believe the entire book is a counterfeit by Li Quan himself. 1 juan. The work was transmitted in many editions, e.g., the Yin fu jing jie 陰符經解, “Explanations to the Classic of the Hidden Talisman,” and the Yin fu jing kao yi 陰符經考異, “Collated Variants of the Classic of the Hidden Talisman” LSZ cites the saying “the strength of birds lies in the qi” (qin zhi zhi zai qi 禽之制在氣) from it in SE wu gong 蜈蚣 and an annotation by → Wang Qi 王起 elsewhere. yin gong 尹公 [1] Eastern Han 漢 Daoist. Legend has it that once he passed on a recipe for pills with fireflies associated with → Wu Chengzi 務成子 to the general → Liu Zinan 劉子南. LSZ cites this in SE ying huo 螢火. yin Jifu 尹吉甫, “Governor Jifu” [1] Zhou 周 dynasty high official under King Xuan 宣 (BCE 827-782). Family name Xi 兮; given name Jia 甲, style name Jifu 吉甫 ( AV Jifu 吉父). Yin 尹 was his official title. Yin Jifu helped King Xuan to succeed in military campaigns. According to the E niao lun 惡鳥論, “Discourse on Malicious Birds,” (→ Cao Zijian ji 曹子建集) of the Three Kingdoms author → Cao Zhi 曹植, Yin Jifu believed the gossip of his wife and killed his own son → Yin Boqi 尹伯奇. Afterwards he was transformed into a shrike. LSZ mentions him in SE bo lao 伯勞.

FE Yi zang mu lu 醫 藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” Written by → Hu Sihui 忽思 慧 and his associates. DC 1330. 3 juan. The text mixes and synthesizes Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Mongolian culinary traditions. Juan 1 includes Daoist lore, a detailed discussion of various dietary taboos (including some concerning pregnant and postpartum women and wet nurses), and 95 exotic recipes used at court. Juan 2 focuses on beverages and medical recipes, along with more material on avoidances. Juan 3 consists of a list of 230 materia medica and dietetica. LSZ frequently uses the work as a source for recipes and newly presented pharmaceutical
604 substances, referring to it as Yin shan zheng yao [26], as Zheng yao 正要, “Proper and Essential Things,” [39], and by the name of the author as Hu shi 忽氏, “Mr. Hu,” [1]. He also refers to a Yin shan biao ti 飲膳標題, “Headings for the Emperor’s Food and Drink,” [1] but this is a different book, further information on which is unavailable. yin shi 陰氏, “The yin Brothers” [1] Designation for the brothers Yin Shifu 陰時夫 and Yin Zhongfu 陰中夫, men of late Song 宋, early Yuan 元. Yin Shifu had the given name Youyu 幼遇, Yin Zhongfu the given name Youda 幼達, both were usually referred to by their style names. The brothers were from Feng xin 奉新, now part of Jiang xi 江西. They were the authors of the → Yun fu qun yu 韻府群玉, the younger brother compiling and the older brother providing the notes. LSZ refers to them only together. yin Shou 尹壽 [1] Legendary official in the service of Emperor → Yao 堯, teacher of Emperor Shun 舜. The first man to have constructed a mirror. LSZ mentions him in SE gu jing 古鏡. Yin xian fu fang 陰憲副方, “recipes of Legal assistant yin” [1] Source of recipes, probably not a book. Legal assistant (xian fu 憲副) was an official title, but the personal name and other details about this individual are unknown. One recipe associated with Legal Assistant Yin is cited by LSZ in SE chi xiu 鴟鵂. Yin yang ying xiang lun 陰陽應象論 → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問 Yin yang za shu 陰陽雜書, “Miscellaneous Book on yin and yang” [1] Book on sorcery and magic. Emperor → Tang Tai zong 唐太宗 once ordered Lü Cai 呂才, an Erudite of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices (tai chang bo shi 太 常博士), to publish this book. LSZ does not list the title in his bibliographical sections but refers materal to it in his main text. However, this may not be a reference to this specific work but to books on sorcery in general. Yin yi 音義 → Ben cao yin yi 本草音義 Yin zheng fa ming 陰證發明 → Yin zheng lüe li 陰證略例 Yin zheng lüe li 陰證略例, “Brief Examples of yin disease Signs” Medical theory book on the yin disease signs of harm caused by cold (shang han yin zheng 傷寒陰證).

Wang considered harm caused by cold (shang han 傷寒), and especially its yin disease signs, the most serious of pathoconditions. Therefore he assembled what he thought were the essentials of earlier authors on the subject and added his own thoughts, creating a text with 30 entries, each entry including symptoms, pharmaceutical treatments, discussions, and differentiations. LSZ generally refers to the text as Yin zheng lüe li [2] but lists it as Yin zheng fa ming [1] in his bibliography.
605 yin Zhongkan 殷仲堪 [1] Famous Jin 晉 dynasty physician. A man of Chen jun 陳郡, now Huai yang 淮 陽 in He nan 河南. He is said to have been specialized in the study of recipes and has a biography in the → Jin shu 晉書. LSZ takes over his name from another source. yin Zifang 陰子方 [1] Han 漢 dynasty person, fl. during the reign of → Han Xuan di 漢宣帝 (r. 74-49 BCE). A man of Xin ye 新野 in Nan yang 南陽. The → Hou Han shu 後漢書 characterizes him as extremely filial and kindhearted. Hence, the kitchen furnace god showed himself to Yin one morning in the 12th month when he was preparing food. LSZ mentions this in SE fu long gan 伏龍肝. yin Ziyan 殷子嚴 Tang 唐 dynasty medical expert. No details about his life available. Author of a → Ben cao yin yi 本草音義 . ying 穎 → Wang Ying 汪穎 Ying fu 鷹賦, “rhapsody on Eagles” [1] Sui 隋 dynasty fu 賦. Written by → Wei Yanshen 魏彥深. The poem is a description of the majestic posture, habits and characteristics of eagles. It is quoted in various reference works such as the → Chu xue ji 初學記 and the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. LSZ cites it second hand in SE ying 鷹. ying gong 英公 → Li Ji 李勣 Ying gong Tang ben cao 英公唐本草 → Tang ben cao 唐本草 ying guo gong 英國公 → Li Ji 李勣 Ying hai bao jian 嬰孩寶鑒, “Precious Mirror for [the Treatment of ] Children” [4] Lost Song 宋 period pediatric text.

Fragments are preserved in the Bian ji zhu jia ying er bing zheng you you fang lun 編集諸家嬰兒病證幼幼方論, “Edited Collection of Various Authors’ Recipes and Discourses on [the Treatment of ] the Young and on Children’s Disease Signs,” but LSZ seems to have taken his material from the original book. LSZ, getting authors and titles mixed up,
606 does not list the book in his bibliographical sections but incorrectly refers the → Ying hai bao jian 嬰孩寶鑒 to Tang Heng there. He even refers to a Yang shi ying hai bao jian 楊氏嬰孩寶鑒, “Mr. Yang’s Precious Mirror for [the Treatment of ] Children,” [1] but elsewhere correctly cites the text as Ying hai bao shu [3] and as Tang shi bao shu 湯氏寶書, “ Mr. Tang’s Precious Book,” [2].

No material of the book survives. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not seem to cite it in the main text. ying hou 應侯, “Marquis of ying” (died 255 BCE) [1] This is the title of Fan Ju 范雎, a Warring States period official in the state of Qin 秦. Style name Shu 叔, a man of the state of Wei 魏. In 266 BCE, he became prime minister of Qin, and was enfeoffed with the territory of Ying 應 (in the east of present-day Lu shan 魯山 in He nan 河南), thus his title. The → Shi ji 史記 has his biography. According to the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, he asked to have dates and chestnuts distributed to the people during a period of famine. LSZ cites this second hand in SE li 栗. Ying ji liang fang 應急良方, “Good recipes to respond to Emergencies” [2] Ming 明 dynasty medical recipe book. FE Dan sheng tang shu mu 澹生堂書目, “Catalogue of Dan sheng Hall.” Originally part of the collection Yi zong cui lan 醫宗萃覧, “Assembled Readings of Medical Learning,” extant edition in the Shou yang cong shu 壽養叢書, “Collected Books on the Nurturing of Longevity.” Written by Hu Wenhuan 胡文煥 (fl. during the wan li 萬曆 reign period (1573-1620)). The text is divided into three chapters on commonly used recipes, gynecology, and pediatrics. LSZ does not list the title in his bibliographical sections but cites it in his main text, so apparently the book was already circulating during his later years. Ying ning xin yao 攖寧心要, “Core Essentials on activating but Still Preserving Calmness” [2] Abbreviation for the Ying ning sheng wu zang bu xie xin yao 攖寧生五臟補瀉心 要, “Core Essentials for Supplementing or Draining the Five Long-Term Depots by an Active but Calm Life,” a Yuan 元 dynasty medical recipe book.

The text is arranged according to the organ systems and respective methods of supplementing and draining (bu xie 補瀉) conditions of repletion and depletion. It lists recipes for treatment by taking into consideration the mutual in-
607 teractions of engendering and counteracting between the five long-term depots (wu zang 五臟). The book was rare, but LSZ apparently did use the original text. ying Shao 應劭 Eastern Han 漢 scholar, sometimes written Ying Shao 應邵. Style name Zhongyuan 仲遠, a man of Nan dun 南頓 county in Ru nan 汝南, now Xiang cheng 項城 in He nan 河南. He had a substantial reputation as a scholar and functioned as governor (tai shou 太守) of Tai shan 泰山 prefecture from 189 to 194. Ying annotated the → Han shu 漢書 to create a Han shu yin yi 漢書音義, “Pronunciation and Meaning in the History of the Han,” and these writings later became part of the Han shu ji jie yin yi 漢書集解音義, “Collected Explanations of Pronunciation and Meaning in the History of the Han,” which is therefore erroneously attributed to him. Ying did, however, write a Feng su tong yi 風 俗通義, “Comprehensive Meanings of Habits and Customs,” (→ Feng su tong 風俗通). LSZ cites notes to the Han shu attributed to Ying (→ Han shu zhu 漢 書注) and also material from the Feng su tong. There is no doubt that the Ying Shao 應劭 [9] and Ying Shao 應邵 [1] quoted in the BCGM are one and the same person. ying Shao 應邵 → Ying Shao 應劭 Ying Shao zhu Han shu 應劭注漢書 → Han shu zhu 漢書注 Ying shi 癭詩 → Linchuan ji 臨川集 Ying tong bai wen 嬰童百問, “a Hundred Questions about Infants and Children” [9] Ming 明 dynasty pediatric text.

608 Yong chang jun zhuan 永昌郡傳, “Notes on yong chang Commandery” Lost geographical text of uncertain authorship. See bibliography of the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. AN Yong chang jun ji 永昌郡記, “Records of Yong chang Commandery.” DC Shu Han 蜀漢 or Western Jin 晉. Fragments are found in the Tai ping yu lan and other texts. LSZ does not refer to the title directly, but the material he cites from a Yong chang zhi 永昌志, “Records of Yong chang” [2] is nearly identical with what the Tai ping yu lan says to be from the Yong chang jun zhuan, therefore we may assume that Yong chang zhi is an incorrect designation for the Yong chang jun zhuan. Note that a Yong chang zhi cited in the late Ming Xu Xiake you ji 徐霞客游記, “Travel Records of Xu Xiake,” did exist at the time and that LSZ might have indeed seen a book of that name. Yong chang zhi 永昌志 → Yong chang jun zhuan 永昌郡傳 Yong jia ji 永嘉記, “records of yong jia” [4] Lost Liu Song 劉宋 geographical text. See bibliography of the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. AN originally Yong jia jun ji 永嘉郡記, “Records from Yong jia Commandery.” Written by the official Zheng Jizhi 鄭緝之, who served as Vice Director (yuan wai lang 員外郎) under Liu Song. The title of the book is listed in the → ZLBC, and this citation is taken over by LSZ in his bibliographical sections. The material cited in the main text, however, is not taken from the ZLBC but from the Tai ping yu lan, which refers to the work as Yong jia jun ji. Yong ju fang 癰疽方 → Yong ju fang lun 癰疽方論 Yong ju fang lun 癰疽方論, “discourse on recipes for [the Treatment of ] Obstruction- and Impediment-Illnesses” This is LSZ’s name for the Ji yan bei ju fang 集驗背疽方, “Collected and Proven Recipes for [the Treatment of ] Impediment-Illnesses on the Back,” a Southern Song 宋 book on external medicine. FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解 題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” Written by → Li Xun 李迅. DC 1196. 1 juan. The text is a collection of 53 recipes for the treatment of “obstruction- and impediment-illness” (yong ju 癰疽) that often result in abscesses. Preceding every recipe is an essay that discusses the states of depletion and repletion (xu shi 虛實), treatment methods, etc. The book was lost by Qing 清 times, but the text is preserved in the Yong le da dian 永樂大 典, “Great Encyclopedia of the Yong le Reign Period,” and the Si ku quan shu 四 庫全書, “Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” has an edition assembled from fragments. LSZ may have seen the original text and does not indicate another source of his citations. He cites the book as Yong ju fang lun [1] in his bibliographical sections, and in the main text as Yong ju ji yan fang 癰疽集 驗方, “Collected and Proven Recipes for [the Treatment of ] Obstruction- and Impediment-Illnesses,” [1], as Yong ju fang 癰疽方, “Recipes for [the Treatment of ] Obstruction- and Impediment-Illnesses,” [2], as Wai ke fang 外科方, “Recipes from the Discipline [Concerned with] External [Diseases and Treatments]” [1] by Li Sili 李嗣立 (Li’s style name), or simply referring to the author as Li Xun [6].
609 Yong ju ji yan fang 癰疽集驗方 → Yong ju fang lun 癰疽方論 Yong lei 永類 → Yong lei qian fang 永類鈐方 Yong lei fang 永類方 → Yong lei qian fang 永類鈐方 Yong lei qian fang 永類鈐方, “Eternal Key recipes” Yuan 元 dynasty medical recipe book. FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.”AN originally Xi lei qian fang 錫類鈐方, “Key Recipes, Beneficial to Everybody.” Initially written by Li Zhongnan 李仲南 in 1316, supplemented and corrected by Sun Yunxian 孫允賢 in 1331. 22 juan. The book summarizes information on disease signs in the form of tables. These arrange information under five headings, i.e., pulse, disease, disease causes, symptoms, and treatment. The book intended to summarize the key points of diagnosis and treatment, thus the name. Named Xi lei qian fang at first, the book’s title was changed to Yong lei qian fang, the term yong lei 永類, “eternal,” expressing the author’s regret at the death of his parents. LSZ cites the work as Yong lei qian fang [46], as Yong lei fang 永類方, “Eternal Recipes,”[55], as Yong lei [2], and as Qian fang 鈐方, “Key Recipes,” [3]. He also refers material from the book to the name of Li Zhongnan [2] alone. Yong yao fa xiang 用藥法象, “The usage of Pharmaceutical drugs reflected in the Laws [of Systematic Correspondences]” Pharmaceutical text. See bibliography of the BCGM. Attributed to → Li Gao 李 杲 (literary name Dongyuan 東垣). DC uncertain. 1 juan. The title is not found in any other bibliography or pharmaceutical text. Only → Wang Haogu 王好古 in his → Tang ye ben cao 湯液本草 refers to a Yong yao xin fa 用藥心法, “Core Methods for Using Pharmaceutical Drugs,” and a Yao lei fa xiang 藥類法象, “Categories of Pharmaceutical Drugs Reflected in the Laws [of Systematic Correspondences],” by a Dongyuan xiansheng 東垣先生, “Gentleman Dongyuan,” that is, Li Gao. Neither of these books survives. LSZ blends the two titles into one, citing the assumed text as Yong yao fa xiang [4], Fa xiang 法象, “Reflecting the Laws [of Systematic Correspondences],” [16], and as Yao lei fa xiang [2]. In his bibliographical sections he states that the Yong yao fa xiang was based on the → Jiegu zhen zhu nang 潔古珍珠囊, with an additional outline, a guide to the use of medicinals and medical classics, etc. This description corresponds to the contents of the Yong yao xin fa as cited in the Tang ye ben cao. The material cited in the BCGM’s main text, however, is taken from various books cited in the Tang ye ben cao, including the Yong yao xin fa but also the Yao lei fa xiang, the Jiegu zhen zhu nang, and others. Several books were thus conflated by LSZ and referred to Li Gao, and even their contents were occasionally modified, which makes it difficult to identify the original source of the citations. In one instance LSZ even mentions a Jiegu yong yao fa xiang 潔古用藥法象, “[Zhang] Jiegu’s Usage of Pharmaceutical Drugs Reflected in the Laws [of Systematic Correspondences],” referring the text to → Zhang Yuansu 張元素, which is certainly a wrong attribution.
610 Yong zhou ji 永州記, “records of yong zhou” [2] Anonymous local chronicle. See bibliography of the BCGM. DC and size uncertain. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text, but there are no references to it in the standard bibliographies. Before LSZ’s times, among the local chronicles of Yong zhou 永州 there was a Long qing Yong zhou fu zhi 隆慶永州府志, “The Long qing Reign Period Provincial Gazetter of Yong zhou,” in 17 juan, which was sometimes abbreviated as Yong zhou zhi. Possibly LSZ is referring to this text. You huan ji wen 游宦紀聞, “record of Things Heard by an Official Serving away from Home” Southern Song 宋 collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Zhi zhai shu lu jie ti 直齋書錄解題, “Explanations to the Catalogue of the Studio of Righteousness.” Written by → Zhang Shinan 張世南. DC 1st half of the 13th century, before 1238. 10 juan. The collection records various Song period miscellaneous affairs and past events, touching upon medicine and doctors, medical books and pharmaceutical drugs in many places. LSZ lists the book as You huan ji wen [1] in his bibliographical sections but does not mention the title in his main text. However, the material on → Xin Jiaxuan 辛稼軒 cited from the → Juan you lu 倦游錄 in SE yi yi 薏苡 is actually taken from the You huan ji wen. You lan zhi 遊覽志 → Xi hu zhi 西湖志 You ming lu 幽明錄, “records of the dark and Illuminated Worlds” Lost Liu Song 劉宋 collection of tales of the strange (zhi guai xiao shuo 志怪小 説).

DC 1st half of the 5th century. 20 juan (AV 30 juan). The term you ming 幽明 refers to a passage in the Yi jing 易經, “Book of Changes,” (→ Zhou yi 周易), where it is used in a general sense for things that are visible or invisible. In the title You ming lu it is used to signify stories about immortals or gods and spirits from the netherworlds. The → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and other books frequently quote the text. LSZ cites the book second hand from these texts as You ming lu 幽明錄 [4] and as You ming lu 幽冥錄 [1], a form of the title frequently used in his secondary sources. You ming lu 幽冥錄 → You ming lu 幽明錄 you Mozhai 游默齋 (1142-1206) [1] This is the literary name of You Jiuyan 游九言, a Southern Song 宋 official and poet. Style name Chengzhi 誠之, a man of Jian yang 建陽 in present-day Fu jian 福建. He held governmental and military posts in Gu tian 古田, Guang hua 廣 化 county, and Jing e 荊鄂, and was assigned to the post of Auxiliary in the Hall of the Dragon Diagram (zhi long tu ge 直龍圖閣) at the Han lin 翰林 Academy during the duan ping 端平 reign period (1234-1237). His poetry was posthumously collected to produce the Mozhai yi gao 默齋遺稿, “Handed-down Drafts of [You] Mozhai.” LSZ cites a lost → You Mozhai hua pu 游默齋花譜 associated with him.

FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Duan Chengshi 段成式. DC c. 860. First collection 20 juan, supplementary collection 10 juan. You yang 酉陽 is a mountain in Yuan ling 沅陵 county in Hu nan 湖南. According to legend, a thousand mystical texts were hidden in a cave under the mountain, mostly secret writings and lost scriptures. Duan Chengshi considered his own collection as valuable and heterogenous as these texts, thus the name. Similarly to the → Bo wu zhi 博物志 of → Zhang Hua 張華, the text contains strange stories involving ghosts, omens, unnatural calamities, local habits and customs, etc., including material with a certain scientific interest. The → ZLBC cites the book, and this listing is taken over by LSZ in his bibliography. He also frequently uses the book as a source in the main text, referring to it as You yang za zu [70] and as Za zu 雜俎, “A Miscellany,” [8]. LSZ also occasionally refers to a → Tang shi 唐史, a general term for several texts covering the Tang dynasty, which may include the You yang za zu as well. You you xin shu 幼幼新書, “New Book for [the Treatment of ] the young” Song 宋 dynasty pediatric text. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Compiled by → Liu Fang 劉昉, revised by Lou Shou 樓璹. DC 1150. 40 juan. The original author, who had two assistants collecting recipes for him, died before the completion of the work, so Lou took over the task. The You you xin shu collects pediatric recipes from 140 medical texts, thus constituting a great compendium of Song and pre-Song pediatrics. It is very clear about its sources, and Liu and Lou made sure no textual material was rashly deleted or revised. LSZ cites the work directly as You you xin shu [5] and erroneously as → Huo you xin shu 活幼新書 [1] but also quotes material from other texts second hand from it. yousong shi 有娀氏 [1] Name of an ancient tribe, also known as Song shi 娀氏. Song 娀 was the ancient place name of Pu zhou 蒲州 in the southwest of present-day Yong ji 永濟 in Shan xi 山西. LSZ uses the term to refer to → Jian Di 簡狄, a women from this tribe and the mother of → Xie 契, the progenitor of the Shang 商 dynasty lineage.
612 yu 禹 → Da Yu 大禹 yu 俁 → Li Yu 李俁 Yu ce 玉冊 → Geng xin yu ce 庚辛玉冊 Yu ce ji 玉策記, “records from the Jade Volume” Lost Daoist book. EE → Baopu zi 抱朴子 . Author unknown, but the book is sometimes ascribed to Baopu zi himself and is probably a pre-Jin 晉 work. Fragments are found in the inner chapters of the Baopu zi. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text as Yu ce ji [2] and also refers to a Yu ce jing 玉策經, “Classic of the Jade Pencil,” [1]. The latter material is identical to what the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 refers to a Lao zi yu ce 老子玉策, “The Jade Volume of Lao zi,” and can also be found in the Baopu zi. Yu ce jing 玉策經 → Yu ce ji 玉策記 Yu Cheng Zhengfu shu 與程正輔書, “Letter to Cheng Zhengfu”[1] Letter by the Song 宋 author → Su Shi 蘇軾 to a younger relative of his. EE Shou qin yang lao xin shu 壽親養老新書, “New Book of Prolonging One’s Parents’ Lives and Nourishing the Elderly,” (→ Feng qin yang lao shu 奉親養老書). This text is not included in the Dongpo quan ji 東坡全集, “Complete Collection of [Su] Dongpo,” (→ Dongpo shi ji 東坡詩集), although juan 100 of the collection contains similar material. The Shou qin yang lao xin shu and the Su Changgong er miao ji 蘇長公二妙集, “Two Wonderful Collections of Su Changgong,” both preserve the complete letter. LSZ does not mention the Su Changgong er miao ji anywhere in the BCGM, so he is most probably quoting from the Shou qin yang lao xin shu in SE hu ma 胡麻. Yu Cui Lian zhou shu 與崔連州書, “Letter to [Mr.] Cui in Lian zhou” Letter by the Tang 唐 author → Liu Zongyuan 柳宗元 cited by LSZ from the → Liu Zihou wen ji 柳子厚文集. AN Yu Cui Rao zhou lun shi zhong ru shu 與 崔饒州論石鍾乳書, “Letter to [Mr.] Cui in Rao zhou Discussing Stalactites.” LSZ cites it in his main text as Yu Cui Lian zhou shu [1] or as Liu Zongyuan shu 柳宗元書, “Letter by Liu Zongyuan,” [1].

It is divided into 25 juan of “inner chapters” (nei pian 內篇), 35 juan of “outer chapters” (wai pian 外篇), and five additional juan. The text contains historical facts and anecdotes from court and commonality, information on the changes in criminal law, and other things. LSZ uses the text for material on pharmaceutical substances and one story on child sacrifice.
613 Yu dong yao jue 玉洞要訣, “Essential Secret Instructions from the Jade Cavern” Abbreviation for the Yu dong da shen dan sha zhen yao jue 玉洞大神丹砂真要 訣, “True and Essential Secret Instructions for Cinnabar [Preparations] of the Great Spirits of the Jade Cavern,” a Daoist alchemical book. FE Dao zang mu lu xiang zhu 道藏目錄詳註, “Detailed Annotations to the Table of Contents of the Daoist Canon.” Attributed to → Zhang Guo 張果 of the Tang 唐 period. 1 juan. The book is a specialized text on how to concoct pills of immortality and deals with a variety of alchemical substances and methods. The book is extremely similar to other alchemical works such as the Tang Long hu huan dan jue 龍虎還丹 訣, “Secret Instructions for the Reverted Elixir of Dragon and Tiger,” of Jin ling zi 金陵子 and the Da dong lian zhen bao jing xiu fu dan sha miao jue 大洞煉真寶 經修伏丹砂妙訣, “Miraculous Instructions for Cultivation by Taking Cinnabar [Preparations] from the Great Cavern Precious Classic of Refining the True,” of Chen Shaowei 陳少微, a book written around the beginning of the kai yuan 開 元 reign period (713-741). LSZ lists two titles by Zhang Guo (in some old editions erroneously written Zhang Gao 張杲) in his bibliographical sections, the Yu dong yao jue [5] and a Dan sha mi jue 丹砂秘訣, “Secret Instructions for Cinnabar [Preparations],” [1]. In the main text he cites material from the Yu dong yao jue and a Dan sha yao jue 丹砂要訣, “Essential Secret Instructions for Cinnabar [Preparations],” [1] but not from any Dan sha mi jue. The material cited as from the former two books is found in the Yu dong da shen dan sha zhen yao jue, therefore we know that both titles are indeed abbreviations for that text. The title Dan sha mi jue, however, might refer to the Yu dong da shen dan sha zhen yao jue as well as the Da dong lian zhen bao jing xiu fu dan sha miao jue of Chen Shaowei. Yu gong 禹貢, “The Tribute of yu” [8] Chapter in the → Shang shu 尚書, an important source for ancient Chinese conceptions of geography as the first work of its type. Authorship and DC uncertain, mostly dated to the Warring States, Qin 秦, or early Han 漢 periods. The text divides up China into nine regions, assuming that this reflected the official division of the state under the Xia 夏 dynasty after culture hero Yu 禹 (→ Da Yu 大禹) had tamed the floods. It provides considerable information on mountains, waterways, lakes, soils, local products, tributes and taxes, and transportation within the Yellow River drainage area, whereas material on the Yangzi and Huai 淮 river areas is somewhat cursory. It was often commented upon in later times. LSZ does not list the work in his bibliographical sections but cites it in his main text. yu Gun 庾袞 Early Western Jin 晉 person known for his virtuous character. Style name Shubao 叔褒, a man of Yan ling 鄢陵 in Lin chuan 穎川, now Yan ling in He nan 河 南. The → Jin shu 晉書 has his biography. When → Jin Hui di 晉惠帝 (r. 290307) moved to Chang an 長安, Yu Gun followed him. As the grain had not yet ripened, they consumed fruit and moss. LSZ cites this second hand in SE shi rui 石蕊 but, taking over a mistake from the ZLBC, erroneously writes Yu’s name Tang Bao 唐褒 [1].

FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” DC Jin 晉 or before. 3 juan (AV 100 juan). → Ge Hong 葛洪, in the → Baopu zi 抱朴子 , refers to a 100 juan work of this name, but that text is now lost. Two fragments are quoted in the → ZLBC, from where LSZ took his quotations. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliography and erroneously refers it to → Du Guangting 杜光庭 when citing it in the main text. Du is usually attributed a book on pulse diagnosis called Yu han jing 玉函經, “Classic of the Jade Case,” but he is definitely not the author of this Yu han fang. Yu Han Kangbo jian 與韓康伯箋, “Letter to Han Kangbo” [1] Letter written by → Yu Yiqi 俞益期 during his time in Hai nan 海南 to → Han Kangbo 韓康伯. Yu’s letters are cited in the → Qi min yao shu 齊民要術, the → Shui jing zhu 水經注, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, or the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, where they are not only labeled Yu Han Kangbo jian but also Yu Han Kangbo shu 與韓康伯書, “Letter to Han Kangbo,” Yu Yiqi jian 俞益期箋, “Letter by Yu Yiqi,” etc. It is the Qi min yao shu and the Tai ping yu lan that refer the material LSZ cites in SE bing lang 檳榔 to a Yu Han Kangbo jian.

It was divided into 17 chapters on conditions like wind stroke, atrophy, phlegm, diarrhea, or malaria. To this Liu added 33 more chapters on such conditions as cough, heat, or fire. Each chapter emphasized miscellaneous diseases of internal medicine and provided full details of symptoms and recipes for treatment.

FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書 經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” 10 juan. In his bibliography, LSZ lists the title as one of the 151 books cited from the jiu ben 舊本, “old book,” that is, the → ZLBC. But the ZLBC bibliography only mentions a Yu Jianwu qi 庾肩吾啟, “Letter by Yu Jianwu,” which seems to be not the name of a book but an abbreviation for what it cites elsewhere as a letter about atractylodes from Yu Jianwu to Tao Yinju 陶隱居 (→ Tao Hongjing 陶弘景). LSZ takes this material over from the ZLBC as → Da Tao Yinju lai zhu jian qi 答陶隱 居賚术煎啓 [1] of Yu Jianwu and → Xie zhu zheng qi 謝术蒸啓 [1] in the main text but does not cite from the original Yu Jianwu ji.

The letter points out the damage resulting from an extended ingestion of bitter and cold drugs such as huang lian 黃連 and ku shen 苦參, and explains the underlying pharmaco-dynamics.

Yu Shinan was also the author of a Shi lüe 史略, “Brief History,” that contains a magically effective recipe used by → Bei Qi Cui shi 北齊崔氏, and this is cited second hand by LSZ but erroneously referred to a → Chu xue ji 初學記 by → Ouyang Xun 歐陽詢. yu Shiyan 於世彥 [1] Immortal said to have obtained longevity and to have produced many sons by ingesting wine with wu jia 五加.

According to the Shou qin yang lao xin shu 壽親養老 新書, “New Book of Prolonging One’s Parents’ Lives and Nourishing the Elderly,” (→ Feng qin yang lao shu 奉親養老書), he was an ancestor of the famous late Northern and early Southern Song literatus Yu Juyi 俞居易.

There is only one bibliographical entry of a text of this name in the BCGM, so LSZ seems to erroneously have taken the two following works as one.
[7] Lost work by an unknown Northern Song 宋 author. EE → ZLBC, which quotes seven fragments that are all cited second hand by LSZ. Further details unavailable.
FE Wen yuan ge shu mu 文淵閣書目, “Catalogue of the Erudite Literature Pavilion.” Supplemented by a group of medical officials under the aegis of Xu Guozhen 許國禎 on the basis of an earlier Jin 金 dynasty version. DC 1267. 11 juan. The book is divided into 17 chapters and contains 1072 recipes (AV 1059 recipes). It was not widely circulated but still survives in the Yuan woodblock edition and a Japanese and Korean edition. Yuan and early Ming medical works use it as a source, the → Pu ji fang 普濟方 in particular quotes extensively from it. LSZ cites the book as Yu yao yuan fang [31] and Yuan fang 院方, “Imperial Recipes,” [2] without naming an author. Probably he did not see the original book but took his material from the Pu ji fang. Yu yin cong hua 漁隱叢話, “Collected Talks of the Fisherman Hermit” [2] Southern Song 宋 book of poetry criticism. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” AN Tiao xi yu yin cong hua 苕溪漁隱叢話, “Collected Talks of the Fisherman Hermit of Tiao xi.” Written by → Hu Zai 胡仔. DC 1148. Earlier collection (qian ji 前集) 60 juan, later collection (hou ji 候集) 40 juan. The book was written in imitation of the Shi hua zong gui 詩話總龜, “General Compendium of Poetry Talks,” of Ji Ruanyue 繼阮 閱. The author collected pre-Song notes on poets and poetry and added a great
618 deal of his own criticism. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text. yu yiqi 喻益期 → Yu Yiqi 俞益期 yu yiqi 俞益期 Eastern Jin 晉 official, fl. mid-4th century. A man of Yu zhang 豫章, now Nan chang 南昌 in Jiang xi 江西. Yu is said to have been of an upright and outspoken character and did not adhere to common customs. He travelled to Hai nan 海南 and maintained a close friendship with → Han Kangbo 韓康伯, with whom he exchanged letters discussing the local products of the South, among other things. These letters are reproduced in books such as the → Qi min yao shu 齊民要術, the → Shui jing zhu 水經注, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, or the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, where they are labeled as → Yu Han Kangbo jian 與韓康伯箋 and similar names. In SE bing lang 檳榔, LSZ cites a fragment on the betel nut from such a letter but erroneously writes Yu’s name Yu Yiqi 喻益期 [1] and identifies him as having lived during Han 漢 times. yu yong gong 虞雍公, “yu, the duke of yong” (1110-1174) This is the title of Yu Yunwen 虞允文, a Song 宋 dynasty high official. Style name Binfu 彬甫. During the jian yan 建炎 and shao xing 紹興 reign periods (1127-1162) he held various high military and ministerial posts. He was eventually enfeoffed as Duke of the State of Yong (Yong guo gong 雍國公) and was therefore commonly called Yu Yong gong. According to the → Yijian zhi 夷堅志 he once suffered from diarrhea and was cured with realgar. LSZ cites this in SE xiong huang 雄黃, referring to Yu as Yu Yong gong [1] and Yunwen [1]. Yu zhu bao dian 玉燭寶典, “Treasury of the Jade Candle” [2] Partially lost book of the Northern Qi 齊 or Sui 隋 dynasties. FE → Sui shu 隋 書, biography of → Du Taiqing 杜臺卿. Written by Du Taiqing. 12 juan, 7 juan surviving. The term “jade candle” (yu zhu 玉燭) is an idiom describing the harmonious weather of the four seasons that brings peace and prosperity. It takes the → Yue ling 月令 as its primary source but also uses abundant material from other books and picks up prevailing customs of the author’s times. The book did not circulate widely but was cited by quite a large number of works. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text taking his material from the → Shi wu ji yuan 事物紀原. yu Zongben 俞宗本 (14th century) [2] Late Yuan 元, early Ming 明 writer. Author of the → Zhong shu shu 種樹書, which notes that it was written by Yu Zongben of Li an 立庵 in 1379. By contrast, the Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書, “Bibliography of the Thousand Acre Hall,” assigns the book to a Yu Zhenmu 俞貞木, along with a literary collection called Li an ji 立庵集, “The Li an Collection.” Obviously Yu Zongben and Yu Zhenmu were one and the same person. According to the Gu su zhi 姑蘇志, “Gu su Gazetteer,” (compiled Southern Song to early Ming), Yu Zhenmu was originally called Yu Zhen 俞禎 and went by his style name Zhenmu 貞木. He was a
619 specialist in classical prose and poetry. Yu did not serve the Yuan but held a local office during the early Ming dynasty. yuan 原 → Ning Yuan 寧源 yuan 源 → Ning Yuan 寧源 Yuan bing shi 原病式, “On underlying disease Patterns” [1] This is LSZ’s abbreviation for the Su wen xuan ji yuan bing shi 素問玄機原病式, “The Profound Principles [Documented] in the Su wen as Underlying Disease Patterns,” a Jin 金 dynasty book on medical theory. FE Guo shi jing ji zhi 國史 經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatises of the Dynastic Histories.” Written by → Liu Wansu 劉完素. DC uncertain, printed 1186. 1 juan. The book is based upon the 19 disease mechanisms elaborated in the chapter Zhi zhen yao da lun 至真要大 論, “Comprehensive Discourse on the Essentials of the Most Reliable,” of the → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問. Liu expands this text and adds his own differentiations, emphasizing fire as the most common cause of disease. yuan da 袁達 [3] Ming 明 dynasty writer. Style name Dexiu 德修, a man of Min xian 閩縣, now part of Fu jian 福建. He passed the provincial graduate (ju ren 舉人) examinations in 1513 and held various local posts. Author of the → Qin chong shu 禽蟲述. yuan dexiu 元德秀 (696-754) Tang 唐 dynasty official. Style name Zizhi 紫芝, a man of He nan 河南, now Luo yang 洛陽 in He nan 河南, jin shi 733. When his nephew lost his family as a baby, Yuan had no money to hire a wet nurse and breast-fed the child himself. For several days his milk flowed vigorously. The story is recorded in the Xin Tang shu 新唐書, “New History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書), and LSZ takes it over in SE ren gui 人傀, referring to Yuan as Yuan Dexiu [1] and Dexiu 德秀 [1]. Yuan fang 院方 → Yu yao yuan fang 御藥院方 yuan Hao 元顥 (485-529) [1] Northern Wei 魏 member of the imperial clan. He received the hereditary rank of Prince of Bei hai (Bei hai wang 北海王) and served as a general and Regional Inspector (ci shi 刺史) of Xu zhou 徐州. Later he fled to Southern Liang 梁 and attacked Northern Wei where he enthroned himself as emperor Jian Wu di 建武帝 in 529. In that same year, he was wiped out by Er Zhuying 尒朱榮 who had been advised to do this by → Gao Daomu 高道穆. LSZ mentions him in SE fu she 蝮蛇. Yuan hua ji 原化記, “records of Original Transformations” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty book. EE → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記. Written by an unidentifiable Huangfu shi 皇甫氏, “Mr. Huangfu.” DC and size uncertain. The text records information on an ancient mythological creature, the wo dou 蝸斗, and this is repeated in the Tai ping guang ji. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliography but cites the Tai ping guang ji material second hand in his main text, erroneously referring to the creature as huo dou 禍斗.
620 yuan Hui 元徽 [1] Probably an erroneous name for → Wang Wei 王微. The → ZLBC cites this name second hand in a list of famous doctors of the Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty, and this is taken over by LSZ. The original preface of → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 to the Ben cao jing ji zhu 本草經集注, “Collected Commentaries on the Classic of Materia Medica,” (→ MYBL) has the same list but refers to Wang Wei instead. Yuan ji qi wei ji 原機啟微集, “Collection Enlightening the Subtleties of the Origins and Mechanisms [of disease]” This is LSZ’s name for the Yuan ji qi wei 原機啟微, “Enlightening the Subtleties of the Origins and Mechanisms [of Disease],” a Ming 明 dynasty book on ophthalmology. FE Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury.” Written by → Ni Weide 倪維德. DC 1370. 2 juan. Juan 1 is a theoretical discussion of the origins of eye diseases, while juan 2 details more than 40 appropriate medicinal treatments. LSZ refers to the book as Yuan ji qi wei ji [4] and as Qi wei ji 啟微集, “Collection Enlightening the Subtleties,” [2]. Yuan jue jing 圓覺經, “Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment” [1] Buddhist text, an important sutra of Mahayana Buddhism. FE Xu gu jin yi jing tu ji 續古今譯經圖記, “Sequel of the Illustrated Records of Old and New Translated Sutras.” AN originally Da fang guang yuan jue xiu duo luo le yi jing 大 方廣圓覺修多羅了義經, “Classic of the True Meaning of the Sutra of Extensive Perfect Enlightenment in the Complete Doctrine.” The Xu gu jin yi jing tu ji states that the text was translated by the monk Fotuo Duoluo 佛陀多羅, also called Juejiu 覺救, during the Tang. It received various annotations and comments by the Chan master Guifeng Zongmi 圭峰宗蜜 (780-841) and other later commentators. The Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang,” lists early versions as Yuan jue jing da xiao shu chao 圓覺經大小疏鈔, “Major and Minor Transcription and Commentary of the Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment.” The sutra is now considered to be an early 8th century work. Originally 1 juan. The book still existed during Ming 明 and Qing 清 times. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections without indicating the translator and does not cite any material from it in his main text. Yuan shi 元史, “History of the yuan” [3] Standard history of the Yuan 元 dynasty. FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” Written by → Song Lian 宋濂 and others. DC 1369-1370. 210 juan. The book is a complete history of the Mongol Yuan dynasty, written in the annal-biography style (ji zhuan ti 紀傳體). The book preserves much source material but is arranged in a somewhat disorderly way. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text. LSZ adds comments by → He Mengchun 何孟春 to his citations, and the name → Buzhi’er 布智兒 he uses differs from the name used in the original History of the Yuan. This suggests that he was using He’s annotations and corrections from the Yu dong xu lu 餘冬敘錄, “Well-Arranged Records Taken during my Winter Days,” (→ Yu dong lu 餘冬錄).
621 yuan Shi zu 元世祖 (1215-1294) [1] This is Qubilai Khan, founder and first emperor of the Yuan 元 dynasty, r. 12601294. LSZ cites an incident in SE mu gou 木狗 of how Yuan Shi zu suffered from a foot disease and wore trousers made of the hide of mu gou. yuan Xisheng 元希聲 (662-707) [2] Tang 唐 dynasty official and poet. A man of Luo yang 洛陽 in present-day He nan 河南. Jin shi. He served at the Ministry of Rites (si li 司禮) and the Ministry of Personnel (li bu 吏部) and collected recipes of → Zhang Wenzhong 張文仲 and other physicians. The → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方 cites a number of his secret recipes, and LSZ takes two over in his main text. yuan yishan 元遺山 (1190-1257) [1] This is the literary name of the Jin 金 scholar Yuan Haowen 元好問. Style name Yuzhi 裕之, a man of Xiu rong 秀容, now Xin zhou 忻州 in Shan xi 山西. He was the author of the Yishan ji 遺山集, “Yishan’s Collection,” and other books. LSZ cites a → Yuan Yishan fang 元遺山方 associated with him in SE shi yan 石燕. Yuan Yishan fang 元遺山方, ”recipes of yuan yishan” [1] Source of a pharmaceutical recipe, probably not a book. Associated with → Yuan Yishan 元遺山. LSZ cites a recipe to cure teeth that have been neglected and are no longer firm in SE shi yan 石燕 from a Yuan Yishan fang. This recipe can be traced back to the → Pu ji fang 普濟方 juan 70, where it is listed as “stone swallow powder to strengthen the teeth” (lao ya shi yan zi san 牢牙石燕子散) without any indication of its source. The same juan records a “powder of Yishan to strengthen the teeth” (Yishan lao ya san 遺山牢牙散), but except for its use of shi yan zi 石燕子 this recipe has nothing in common with the “stone swallow powder” mentioned above. Hence it remains unclear why LSZ labels the “stone swallow powder” Yuan Yishan fang. yuan Zhen 元稹 (779-831) [5] Tang 唐 dynasty poet. Style name Weizhi 微之, a man of Luo yang 洛陽 in present-day He nan 河南, who lived in Wan nian 萬年 in Jing zhao 京兆, now Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西. Yuan Zhen held high court posts and was a friend of the poet → Bai Juyi 白居易. His literary collection is called the Yuan shi chang qing ji 元氏長慶集, “Mr. Yuan’s Chang qing Reign Period Collection” (→ Chang qing ji 長慶集 ). Yuan Zhen shi 元稹詩 → Chang qing ji 長慶集 yuan Zhongyang 袁仲陽 Probably a Jin 晉 dynasty person. A man of Jiang xia 江夏, now Wu han 武漢 in Hu bei 湖北. When he was once serving the Daoist master → Chen Zi 陳孜, Chen advised him to ingest dates seeds to cure his disease. LSZ cites this story in SE zao 棗, referring to Yuan as Yuan Zhongyang [1] and as Zhongyang 仲陽 [1]. yuan Zi 袁滋 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty high official. Style name Deshen 德深, a man of Run an 汝南 in Chen jun 汝南, now part of He nan 河南. He first received a court position in
622 780 and eventually advanced to the post of Minister (shang shu 尚書). In 794 he was ordered to Nan zhao 南詔 as an envoy. Author of the → Yun nan ji 雲南記. yuanhua 元化 → Hua Tuo 華佗 yuansu 元素 [209] Designation for → Zhang Yuansu 張元素. Citations labeled Yuansu that contain material on pharmaceutical substances are taken from Zhang’s → Jiegu zhen zhu nang 潔古珍珠囊, but those that mention medical recipes are from the → Bing ji qi yi bao ming ji 病機氣宜保命集, which was actually not written by Zhang Yuansu but by → Liu Wansu 劉完素. Yuanying ji 淵穎集, “Collection of [Wu] yuanying” [2] Yuan 元 dynasty literary collection. FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by → Wu Lai 吳萊, edited by → Song Lian 宋濂. 12 juan, plus a 1 juan appendix. The book is named after the author’s posthumous name Yuanying 淵穎, “Deep Intelligence,” given by his disciples. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text. Yue ling 月令, “Monthly Ordinances” Chapter in the → Li ji 禮記. Traditionally attributed to the Duke of Zhou 周 (→ Zhou gong 周公), but the text is in fact a Qin 秦 or Han 漢 compilation of material from the → Lü shi chun qiu 呂氏春秋. AN Lü shi yue ling 呂氏月令, “Mr. Lü’s Monthly Ordinances,” Ming tang yue ling 明堂月令, “Monthly Ordinances from the Hall of Brilliance.” The text describes the twelve months of the lunar calendar and things associated with them in terms of the five transitional phases (wu xing 五行). It reflects seasonal changes in agricultural production during the Warring States period and the Qin and Han dynasties. Although LSZ does not list the chapter separately in his bibliography, he frequently cites it in his main text, referring to the work as Yue ling [32], Ming tang yue ling [1], Lü shi yue ling [1], Li ji yue ling 禮記月令, “Monthly Ordinances from the Li ji,” [1], and erroneously as Yi shu yue ling 逸書月令, “Monthly Ordinances from the Remaining Book,” [1]. He also cites annotations by → Zheng Xuan 鄭玄 as Zheng Xuan zhu 鄭玄注, “Annotations of Zheng Xuan,” [3]. In addition, LSZ cites books similar to the Yue ling such as the → Yue ling tong zuan 月令通纂, the → Si min yue ling 四民月令, etc.
[1] The lost Yue ling written by → Cai Yong 蔡邕, fragments of which are preserved in the → Pi ya 埤雅 and other works. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections but cites one fragment in the main text. Yue ling tong zuan 月令通纂, “Comprehensive Compilation of Monthly Ordinances” [3] Ming 明 dynasty book. FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by Huang Jian 黃諫. 4 juan. The author took an earlier work by Zhou Kou 周口, the Yang sheng yue lan 養生月覽, “Monthly Guide to Nurturing Life,” reorganized its material and combined it with the Nong sang cuo yao 農桑撮要, “Synopsis of Farming and Sericulture,” to produce the Yue ling tong zuan. The text is organized on a month by month basis and
623 takes section headings from the → Yue ling 月令 chapter of the → Li ji 禮記. It attaches a list of traditional pharmaceutical substances to provide a convenient overview. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text without mentioning the name of the author. The author Huang Jian, style name Tingchen 廷臣, was a Ming dynasty high official. His ancestral home was in Gao you 高郵 in present-day Jiang su 江蘇, but he later migrated to Lan zhou 蘭州 in Gan su 甘肅. Jin shi during the zheng tong 正統 reign period (1436-1449), served as an imperial tutor at the Han lin 翰 林 Academy. Of high erudition, Huang was also a painter and calligrapher and took an interest in medicine. Yue sheng sui chao 悅生隨鈔, “Consecutive Notes of Happy Life [Hall]” Lost Southern Song 宋 book. EE → Shuo fu 説郛. AN Yue sheng tang sui chao 悅 生堂隨抄, “Consecutive Notes of Happy Life Hall.” Written by → Jia Sidao 賈 似道. 100 juan. The book assembles material from dynastic histories, institutional histories, and various fragmentary writings of thirteen dynasties. It was never printed, but fragments are found in the Shuo fu and the Yong le da dian 永樂大 典, “Great Encyclopedia of the Yong le Reign Period.” LSZ lists the work as Yue sheng sui chao 悅生隨鈔 [1] in his bibliographical sections but writes it Yue sheng sui chao 悅生隨抄 [2] in the main text, citing second hand from the Shuo fu. Yue sheng sui chao 悅生隨抄 → Yue sheng sui chao 悅生隨鈔 yue Shi 樂史 (930-1007) [2] Song 宋 dynasty literatus and geographer. Style name Zizheng 子正, a man of Yi huang 宜黃 in Fu zhou 撫州, now part of Jiang xi 江西, jin shi 980. He served Southern Tang 唐 and afterwards the Song, holding various court and regional offices. In his later years, Yue went to Luo yang 洛陽 and devoted himself to literary activities. He was the author of the → Tai ping huan yu ji 太平寰宇記, the Yang Taizhen wai zhuan 楊太真外傳, “Outer Biography of Yang Taizhen,” the Lü Zhu zhuan 綠珠傳, “Biography of Lü Zhu,” a Guang zhuo yi ji 廣卓異 記, “Expanded Records of Outstanding and Extraordinary Things,” and other books. LSZ cites the Tai ping huan yu ji and mistakenly attributes another work, the → Guang yi ji 廣異記, to Yue. yue wang 越王, “King of yue” Name of various kings. [4] Gou Jian 勾踐, king of the state of Yue 越 during the Warring States period, r. 497-465 BCE. When the → Yi yuan 異苑 speaks of a King of Yue who set out from Jin an 晉安 (now Nan an 南安 in Fu jian 福建) to travel in the South Sea, this may be a reference to Gou Jian. When LSZ refers to a King of Yue without specifying an era, this is Gou Jian as well. [1] In Wu yue wang 吳越王, “King of Wu yue,” this is → Qian Liu 錢鏐.
[3] In connection with → Han Wu di 漢武帝 sending → Tang Meng 唐蒙 on a diplomatic visit to Nan yue, this is the Nan yue wang 南越王, “King of Nan yue,” i.e., → Zhao Tuo 趙佗. Nan yue 南越 was the ancient name of a state of
624 Western Han 漢 period. The Yue wang who, according to the legend, was killed by the → Lin yi wang 林邑王 was also the king of Nan yue. yue Xiaoman 樂小蠻 [1] Northern Song 宋 general. A man of Xiang zhou 襄州, now Xiang yang 襄陽 in Hu bei 湖北. The → ZLBC quotes the → Jing yan fang 經驗方 with a statement on how Le obtained an effective recipe to treat the excessive consumption of wine. LSZ takes this over in SE lü 驢. yuechi 月池 → Li Yanwen 李言聞 yuechi weng 月池翁 → Li Yanwen 李言聞 yuechi zi 月池子 → Li Yanwen 李言聞 yun 雲 → Fan Yun 范雲 yun 鄆 → Xia Houyun 夏侯鄆 Yun dou shu 運斗樞 → Chun qiu yun dou shu 春秋運斗樞 Yun fu 韻府 → Yun fu qun yu 韻府群玉 Yun fu qun yu 韻府群玉, “a Multitude of Jades from the Storehouse of rhymes” Late Song 宋, early Yuan 元 dynasty encyclopedia. Compiled by Yin Shifu 陰 時夫 and annotated by his elder brother Yin Zhongfu 陰中夫 (→ Yin shi 陰 氏). 20 juan. The book selected and listed allusions and figures of speech, listing its material by rhyme. It constitutes the earliest extant encyclopedia organized in this manner. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections as Yun fu qun yu [1], attributing it to the Yin shi 陰氏, “Yin Brothers.” He also cites material from it as Yun fu 韻府, “Storehouse of Rhymes,” [2] in the main text. The fragment cited in SE deng zhan 燈盞, however, is only second hand material from the Yun fu qun yu, which refers it to a Ben cao 本草, “Materia Medica,” that is, the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺. So LSZ’s claim that oil lamps were first mentioned as a pharmaceutical substance in the BCGM is wrong. Yun hui 韻會 → Gu jin yun hui 古今韻會 Yun nan ji 雲南記, “records of yun nan” [3] Lost Tang 唐 dynasty geographical text. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文 志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Yuan Zi 袁滋. DC 818. 5 juan. The book records things the author saw and heard while staying in Yun nan 雲南 at the time of the Nan zhao 南詔 kingdom. Fragments are quoted in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and other books. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text, where he once incorrectly refers to a Yun nan ji of → Fan Chuo 樊綽, apparently confusing the title with the → Yun nan zhi 雲南志. Yun nan zhi 雲南志, “Monograph on yun nan” [2] Tang 唐 dynasty geographical text. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang,” AN there Man shu 蠻 書, “Book of the Southern Barbarians,” but called Yun nan zhi in the Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song,” and Yun nan shi ji 雲南史記, “Historical Records of Yun nan,” in the Yong le da dian
625 永樂大典, “Great Encyclopedia of the Yong le Reign Period.” Written by → Fan Chuo 樊綽. 10 juan. The original text is lost, only the edited version in the Yong le da dian survives. LSZ does not list this work in his bibliographical sections but does refer to a Yun nan zhi in his main text. He does, however, also refer to a → Yun nan ji 雲南記 of Fan Chuo, apparently confusing the Yun nan zhi with the Yun nan ji of → Yuan Zi 袁滋. It therefore remains uncertain which book LSZ actually took his second hand citations from. yunqi zi 雲岐子, “Master yunqi” [2] This is the literary name of Zhang Bi 張璧, a Yuan 元 dynasty physician and the son of → Zhang Yuansu 張元素. The still extant 10 juan Jiegu laoren zhu Wang Shuhe mai jue 潔古老人注王叔和脈訣, “Wang Shuhe’s Rhymed Instructions on [Movements in the] Vessels, Annotated by Old Man Jiegu,” was jointly annotated by himself and his father. Parts of this were later excerpted to produce the Yunqi zi mai jue 雲岐子脈訣, “Master Yunqi’s Rhymed Instructions on [Movements in the] Vessels.” Zhang Bi was also the author of a number of now lost books including the Yi xue xin shuo 醫學新説, “New Discussion of Medical Studies,” the Bao ming shang han lun 保命傷寒論, “Shang han lun to Preserve Life,” the Shuhe bai wen 叔和百問, “A Hundred Questions to [Wang] Shuhe,” and the Bao ming ji lun lei yao 保命集論類要, “Categorized Essentials of a Collection of Discourses on Preserving Life.” LSZ refers incorrectly to a Bao ming ji 保命集, “Collection of [Writings on] Preserving Life,” of Yunqi zi but actually means the → Bing ji qi yi bao ming ji 病機氣宜保命集 of → Liu Wansu 劉完素, the authorship of which he frequently gets mixed up about. Yun shu 韻書, “dictionary of rhymes” [5] Dictionary with characters arranged by the four tones and rhymes. Rhyming dictionaries quoted in the BCGM include the → Tang yun 唐韻, the → Guang yun 廣韻, the → Qie yun 切韻, the → Hong wu zheng yun 洪武正韻, the → Gu jin yun hui 古今韻會, the → Ji yun 集韻, and the → Zeng yun 增韻. LSZ’s quotations of a Yun shu do not seem to be references to any other specific book but rather to the dictionaries listed above. Yun tai fang 雲臺方, “recipes of the Cloud Terrace” [1] Source of a pharmaceutical recipe. Not listed in any ancient or recent bibliographical source. LSZ cites a recipe from a Yun tai fang in SE lu feng fang 露蜂 房, which is identical with a “violet frost pill” (zi shuang wan 紫霜丸) recorded in the Song 宋 collection → Sheng ji zong lu 聖濟總錄. The → Pu ji fang 普濟 方 cites the recipe but does not indicate its source. Hence, the exact meaning of yun tai 雲臺 remains to be clarified. Yun xian lu 雲仙錄, “records of the Immortals of the Clouds” Abbreviated title for the Yun xian za ji 雲仙雜記, “Miscellaneous Records of the Immortals of the Clouds.” FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” AN originally Yun xian san lu 雲仙散錄, “Scattered Records of the Immortals of the Clouds,” Initially attributed to the Tang 唐 dynasty author Feng Zhi 馮贄, but this is uncertain. 10 juan (sometimes erroneously noted with 1 juan). From the Southern Song 宋 on, bibliog-
626 raphies considered the book a forgery due to its style and anachronisms (one of the sources cited mentions the Five Dynasties kingdom of Wu yue 吳越) and attributed the work to Wang Zhi 王銍 (→ Wang Xingzhi 王性之), an early Southern Song author. The Si ku quan shu zong mu ti yao 四庫全書總目提要, “Index and General Bibliography to the Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” affirms this opinion and identifies the Yun xian san lu as the Yun xian za ji. LSZ mistakenly lists the book as → Ling xian lu 靈仙錄 [1] in his bibliographical sections and cites it as Yun xian lu [1] in the main text. Yun xiang fu 芸香賦, “rhapsody on rue” [1] Jin 晉 dynasty fu 賦. Written by → Cheng Gong sui 成公綏. The text is preserved in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, and other books. LSZ cites a couplet from the poem in SE shan fan 山礬. Yun yao 蘊要 → Shang han yun yao 傷寒蘊要 Yun yu yang qiu 韻語陽秋, “Comments on rhymed Phrases” [2] Song 宋 dynasty book of poetry criticism. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by Ge Lifang 葛 立方 (→ Ge Changzhi 葛常之). 20 juan. The book discusses achievements and shortcomings in the poetry of various figures. LSZ lists the work in his bibliographical sections but refers to the author only as Ge shi 葛氏, “Mr. Ge,” there, although he does name the author as Ge Changzhi in the main text when citing material on an ointment made of qiu ye 楸葉. Yunlin shi pu 雲林石譜, “Treatise on rocks by [du] yunlin” [2] Northern Song 宋 book. FE Wen yuan ge shu mu 文淵閣書目, “Catalogue of the Erudite Literature Pavilion.” Written by Du Wan 杜綰 (→ Du Jiyang 杜季陽, literary name name Yunlin jushi 雲林居士). DC early 12th century. 2 juan. The book discusses the economic and aesthetic value of 116 kinds of stones, providing information on their places of origin, appearance, and extraction methods. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text. yunqi zi 雲岐子, “Master yunqi” [2] This is the literary name of Zhang Bi 張璧, a Yuan 元 dynasty physician and the son of → Zhang Yuansu 張元素. The still extant 10 juan Jiegu laoren zhu Wang Shuhe mai jue 潔古老人注王叔和脈訣, “Wang Shuhe’s Rhymed Instructions on [Movements in the] Vessels, Annotated by Old Man Jiegu,” was jointly annotated by himself and his father. Parts of this were later excerpted to produce the Yunqi zi mai jue 雲岐子脈訣, “Master Yunqi’s Rhymed Instructions on [Movements in the] Vessels.” Zhang Bi was also the author of a number of now lost books including the Yi xue xin shuo 醫學新説, “New Discussion of Medical Studies,” the Bao ming shang han lun 保命傷寒論, “Shang han lun to Preserve Life,” the Shuhe bai wen 叔和百問, “A Hundred Questions to [Wang] Shuhe,” and the Bao ming ji lun lei yao 保命集論類要, “Categorized Essentials of a Collection of Discourses on Preserving Life.” LSZ refers incorrectly to a Bao ming ji 保命集, “Collection of [Writings on] Preserving Life,” of Yunqi zi but actually

The text covers 74 disease signs, each entry including a brief summary of disease causes and a detailed discussion on treatment methods and appropriate recipes. LSZ does not list the book in his bibliographical sections but cites it in the main text as Za bing zhi li [2] and as Zhi li 治例. “Examples of Treatment,” [3]. The version of the text cited by LSZ appears more detailed than the version that is extant today.

FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” Written by → Shen Zhou 沈周. DC c. 1509, published posthumously. 1 juan.

Za xing 雜興 → Wei sheng za xing 衛生雜興 Za xing fang 雜興方 → Wei sheng za xing 衛生雜興 Za xiu yang shu 雜修養書, “Book of Miscellaneous Ways of Cultivation and Nurturing” Lost, anonymous Daoist book of early Song 宋 times or before. Size uncertain. The book includes a passage recommending a decoction with mu xiang 木香 to make one’s beard turn black again. This is quoted with an annotation in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽. → Su Song 蘇頌 quotes the same text and annotation in his → TJBC but attributed the commentary to → Xu Kai 徐鍇. The TJBC material is preserved in the → ZLBC, but in some editions of the ZLBC the characters za xiu yang shu 雜修養書 have been changed to an Xiu yang shu 按修 養書, “according to the Book of Cultivation and Nurturing.” LSZ takes over this error and also writes Xiu yang shu 修養書 [1].

[2] Part of the title of the → Jiang Linji za zhi 江鄰幾雜志 Za zi jie gu 雜字解詁, “Explanatory Notes on Miscellaneous Characters” [1] Lost lexicographical text. FE Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui.” The Sui shu jing ji zhi attributes the text to a Northern Wei 魏 Assistant Director of the Right in the Palace Discipline Service (yi ting you cheng 掖庭右丞) called Zhou shi 周氏, “Mr. Zhou.” The Tang 唐 period Shi ji suo yin 史記索隱, “Expounding the Obscure Matters in the Shi ji,” of Sima Zhen 司馬貞 lists a Za zi jie gu by one Zhou Cheng 周成. However, the Sui shu jing ji zhi, citing the Liang 梁 dynasty → Qi lu 七錄, also mentions Zhou Cheng by name when listing his Jie wen zi 解文字, “Explanation of Literary Characters,” so Zhou shi may not be identical with Zhou Cheng. Fragments of the Za zi jie gu are preserved in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and other books. The passage LSZ cites in SE han ju 寒具 can also be found in the Tai ping yu lan. Za zu 雜俎 → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎 Zai chuan wang mei ren 菑川王美人, “Imperial Concubine of the Prince of Zai chuan” [2] Western Han 漢 person, concubine of Liu Xian 劉賢, then prince of Zai chuan 菑川 (r. 164 -153 BC). After she had given birth to a son, she was unable to breastfeed him and sought the help of → Chunyu Yi 淳於意. The story is recorded in the → Shi ji 史記, and LSZ takes it over in SE xiao shi 消石. Zan yin 昝殷 [18] Tang 唐 dynasty medical specialist. Also called Zan Shang 昝商 due to a naming taboo. A man of Cheng du 成都 in Si chuan 四川. He held a medical appointment at court during the da zhong 大中 reign period (847-860) and wrote the →

According to the Zhu shi ji yan fang 朱氏集驗方, “Collected Efficacious Recipes of Mr. Zhu,” (→ Ji yan fang 集驗方 ), he once cured → Song Ren zong 宋仁宗 (r. 1022-1064) of mumps by application of chi xiao dou 赤小豆. LSZ erroneously renders his name Zanning 贊寧 [1]. Zanning 贊寧 (919-1001) Northern Song 宋 Buddhist monk. Secular surname Gao 高, a man of De qing 德淸 in Wu xing 吳興, now part of Zhe jiang 浙江. He entered the Long xing 龍興 monastery in Hang zhou 杭州 and was known as Wu seng Zanning 吳僧贊寧, “Monk Zanning of Wu,” or Seng Zanning 僧贊寧, “Monk Zan ning.” He was installed as Buddhist controller (seng tong 僧統) of Zhe jiang by the founder of Wu yue 吳越, Qian Liu 錢鏐, and in 978 was summoned to court by → Song Tai zong 宋太宗 to hold various religious positions in metropolitan centers. He compiled the Gao seng zhuan 高僧傳, “Biographies of Eminent Monks,” and wrote many other works including the → Wu lei xiang gan zhi 物 類相感志 and the → Sun pu 筍譜, which is probably what LSZ calls → Zhu pu 竹譜 in his bibliography. LSZ refers to him as as Zanning [4], as Wu seng Zanning [2], and as Seng Zanning [4].

FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by Zhao Zimian 趙自勔. DC 748. 6 juan (AV 1 juan). Zhao Zimian held a judicial post at the palace of prince Feng 豐 of Tang. His book focused on unusual transformations of the things of the universe. Fragments are found in the → Pi ya 埤雅. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text second hand from the Pi ya but does not indicate an author. Zao hua zhi nan 造化指南, “Guide to the Creation of Things” Daoist pharmaceutical text. EE BCGM. According to LSZ, the text claims to be based on statements of the legendary → Tu su zhen jun 土宿真君 and to be annotated and explained by → Baopu zi 抱朴子 (→ Ge Hong 葛洪), but this is an invention of Song 宋 and Yuan 元 alchemists. The text is divided into 33 chapters that cover 53 numinous herbs regarded as elixirs. The original text apparently did not survive, but the → Geng xin yu ce 庚辛玉冊 seems to have used it as a source. LSZ cites the text as Zao hua zhi nan [9], as Tu su zhen jun ben cao 土宿真君本草, “Materia Medica of the Perfected Sovereign of Saturn,” [5], Tu su ben cao 土宿本草, “Saturn Materia Medica,” [12], and as Tu su 土宿, “Saturn,” [12]. He also refers material to the Tu su zhen jun [14] directly.
630 Zeng duanbo 曾端伯 (fl mid-12th century) [2] This is the style name of Zeng Zao 曾慥, a late Northern Song 宋, early Southern Song official, Daoist, and poet. Literary name Zhi you zi 至游子, “The Master Who Makes the Most of Travelling,” a man of Jin jiang 晉江, now Quan zhou 泉州 in Fu jian 福建. A descendant of the high Northern Song official Zeng Gongliang 曾公亮 (→ Zeng Lu gong 曾魯公), he held various local posts in different places during and after the transition period from Northern to Southern Song. In his later years, he lived as a Daoist recluse at Yin feng 銀峰. He wrote extensively, mainly Daoist works (the most important of which is the Dao shu 道樞, “Axis of the Dao”). His → Lei shuo 類説 was frequently used as a source by LSZ. Zeng Fuxian 曾孚先 [1] Early Southern Song 宋 physician with special expertise in external medicine. He participated in the collection of data associated with ancient recipes that had proven to be effective, and was the author of a Bao sheng hu ming ji 保生護命 集, “Collection to Preserve Life and Protect Destiny.” His views are quoted in the → Wai ke jing yao 外科精要, and LSZ cites a fragment second hand in SE sha cao 莎草. Zeng gong tan lu 曾公談錄, “records of Talks with the Honorable Mr. Zeng” [1] Collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). Not listed in any bibliography or book catalogue. Possibly written by a grandson of Zeng Gongliang 曾公亮 (→ Zeng Lu gong 曾魯公), DC late Northern Song 宋 or early Southern Song. The text is quoted in the → Yue sheng sui chao 悅生隨抄 of → Jia Sidao 賈似道, and LSZ takes the material over in SE jia su 假蘇. Zeng Jingren 曾景仁 Southern Song 宋 person. A man of Lin chuan 臨川, now Fu zhou 撫州 in Jiang xi 江西. According to the → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方, he suffered from nasal lesions resulting from excessive alcohol consumption, but was cured by a recipe given to him by a stranger. LSZ cites this story in SE zi wei 紫葳 but erroneously writes his name Zeng Ziren 曾子仁 [1]. Zeng Lu gong 曾魯公, “Zeng the duke of Lu” (999-1078) [1] This is Zeng Gongliang 曾公亮, a Northern Song 宋 high official. A man of Jin jiang 晉江 in Quan zhou 泉州, now part of Fu jian 福建, jin shi 1024. He served as Military Affairs Commissioner (shu mi shi 樞密使) and was enfeoffed as Duke of the State of Yan (Yan guo gong 兗國公) and Duke of the State of Lu (Lu guo gong 魯國公). He once suffered from “free-flux illness with blood” (li xue 痢血) and was cured by → Chen Yingzhi 陳應之. LSZ cites this in SE mei 梅. Zeng shi 曾氏 → Zeng Shirong 曾世榮 Zeng shi fang 曾氏方 → Huo you xin shu 活幼心書 Zeng shi xiao er fang 曾氏小兒方 → Huo you xin shu 活幼心書
631 Zeng Shirong 曾世榮 (1253-1332?) Yuan 元 dynasty medical expert. Style name Dexian 德顯, literary name Yuxi 育溪, “Yu Creek.” A man of Heng yang 衡陽, now part of Hu nan 湖南. He studied with Liu Sidao 劉思道 for many years and obtained the essential pediatric recipes of his family tradition, thus gaining reputation as an expert in this medical field. Zeng also used the recipes and theories obtained from Liu and supplemented these with his own knowledge to create the → Huo you xin shu 活幼心書. Zeng is also sometimes attributed the → Huo you kou yi 活幼口議, but this is uncertain. LSZ refers to him as Zeng Shirong [5] and Zeng shi 曾氏, “Mr. Zeng,” [2]. Zeng Tang 曾棠 Southern Song 宋 official, served in Yan ling zhen 延陵鎮, now Zhen jiang 鎮 江 in Jiang su 江蘇. According to the → Yi shuo 醫説 → Zhang Sishun 張思順 once cured him of nosebleed. LSZ takes over this story in SE ni bai yin 溺白垽, but in the Jin ling 金陵 edition his name is erroneously written Lu Tang 魯棠 [1], a mistake that was corrected in modern editions of the BCGM. Zeng tong pan 曾通判, “Prefectural Supervisor Zeng” [1] This is Zeng Maozhao 曾茂昭, a Song 宋 dynasty official. According to the → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方, his ten-year-old son suffered from “intestinal wind” (chang feng 腸風). Zeng used the ashes of dried persimmon fruit to cure him. LSZ cites this in SE shi 柹. Zeng wei 曾尉, “Commandant Zeng” [1] This is the title of Zeng Tongshi 曾通仕, a late Northern Song 宋 official. Style name Dingyong 定永, a man of Jin xian 進賢 in Hong zhou 洪州, now part of Nan chang 南昌. Served as Commandant (wei 尉) in Feng cheng 豐城. He once used Glauber’s salt to treat difficult births of cats and buffalos. This is documented in the → Xin xiao fang 信效方 and taken over by LSZ in SE pu xiao 朴消. Zeng yuan 曾原 [1] Name of an immortal. In SE chang pu 菖蒲, LSZ cites a statement from the → Chang pu zhuan 菖蒲傳 saying that Zeng ingested acorus to attain the Dao. Zeng yun 增韻, “Expanded rhymes” [1] Southern Song 宋 dictionary, arranged in rhymes. Complete name Zeng xiu hu zhu li bu yun lüe 增修互注禮部韻畧, “Expanded and Revised, Cross-Annotated Concise Rhymes of the Ministry of Rites.” The text is a revised version of the Li bu yun lüe 禮部韻畧, “Concise Rhymes of the Ministry of Rites,” of → Ding Du 丁度 (1037), expanded and annotated by Mao Huang 毛晃 and published by his son Mao Juzheng 毛居正. Printed 1162. During the Ming 明 dynasty this book appeared in numerous editions. LSZ does not list it in his bibliographical sections but cites it in SE ma nao 瑪瑙. Zeng zi 曾子, “Master Zeng” (505-436 BC) [2] Late Spring and Autumn period philosopher and disciple of Confucius (→ Kong zi 孔子). Given name Shen or Can 參, style name Ziyu 子輿, a man of Nan wu cheng 南武城 in the State of Lu 魯, now part of Shan dong 山東. His
632 words are preserved in the Da Dai li ji 大戴禮記, “Record of Rites by Dai Senior,” and LSZ takes some of this over. Zeng Ziren 曾子仁 → Zeng Jingren 曾景仁 Zha dao 查道 (955-1018) [1] Northern Song 宋 high official. Style name Zhanran 湛然, a man of Xiu ning 休 寕 in present-day An hui 安徽. Jin shi 988. He held various posts, including one in the imperial archives. The → Cu yi ji 徂異記 recounts a story about Zha’s encounter with a mermaid during a mission to Korea. LSZ cites this in SE ti yu 䱱魚. Zhai xuan 摘玄 → Zhai xuan fang 摘玄方 Zhai xuan fang 摘玄方, “Selected Profound recipes” Medical recipe book. See bibliography of the BCGM. No author indicated. LSZ frequently quotes the work as Zhai xuan fang [131] and as Zhai xuan 摘玄, “Selected Profundities,” [14]. In addition, he refers to a Ye shi zhai xuan fang 葉氏摘 玄方, “Selected Profound Recipes of Mr. Ye,” [7], to a Ye shi zhai xuan 葉氏摘玄, “Mr. Ye’s Selected Profundities,” [5], to a Danxi zhai xuan fang 丹溪摘玄方, “Selected Profound Recipes of [Zhu] Danxi,” [1], and to a → Danxi zhai xuan 丹溪 摘玄 [2]. The Yi zang mu lu 醫藏目錄, “Bibliography of the Medical Treasury,” lists an anonymous book in 30 juan called Danxi shi xuan 丹溪適玄, “Suitable Profundities of [Zhu] Danxi,” but since this work is lost, there can be no comparison of contents. The anonymous Danxi zhai xuan, however, is still extant today as a hand-copied manuscript. Comparison of contents reveals the following: The three recipes labeled Danxi zhai xuan fang or Danxi zhai xuan are indeed taken from that work. Half the recipes cited as coming from the Ye shi zhai xuan fang are actually from the Danxi zhai xuan, but only very few of the recipes labeled just Zhai xuan fang or Zhai xuan are found in the Danxi zhai xuan. Nonetheless, the surviving Danxi zhai xuan manuscript is incomplete and contains various misplaced passages, so whether the other recipes labeled Zhai xuan fang by LSZ might also have been taken from that work remains a subject of further research. Of uncertain provenance is one recipe cited from a Zhai xuan miao fang 摘玄妙方, “A Selection of Profound and Miraculous Recipes,” [1]. Zhai xuan miao fang 摘玄妙方 → Zhai xuan fang 摘玄方 Zhai yao 摘要 → Yi fang zhai yao 醫方摘要 Zhai yao fang 摘要方 → Yi fang zhai yao 醫方摘要 Zhan 展 → Gao Zhan 高展 Zhan deng hua shu 占燈花術, “The art of Lamp-Flame divination” [1] Lampadomancy, a divination technique, probably not a text. The diviner determines auspicious or inauspicious omens by observation of the movements of the flame of a lamp. LSZ mentions a Zhan deng hua shu recorded in the Yi wen zhi 藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise,” of the → Han shu 漢書, but the Han shu yi wen zhi does not list any book associated with this technique. The only passage in the Han shu yi wen zhi that is remotely related to lamp-flame divination reads: “The various diviners record the appearance of a hundred things as omens of good or
633 bad [things to come]” (za zhan zhe ji bai shi zhi xiang hou xiang e zhi zheng 雜佔 者紀百事之象候善惡之徵). Zhan guo ce 戰國策, “Stratagems of the Warring States” [3] Historical text. FE Chong wen zong mu 崇文總目, “General Bibliography of the Imperial Archive.” The book is a collection of speeches and policies offered by Warring States thinkers. Originally there were six different texts on the subject, which were edited during the Western Han 漢 by → Liu Xiang 劉向 to produce the a Zhan guo ce in 33 chapters. In the course of the book’s circulation and transmission, some parts were lost, and many emendations and additions were made. The present version dates to Song 宋 times and describes historical events as well as discussions of Warring States political counselors. Zhan jiao shou 詹教授, “Teacher Zhan” Yuan 元 dynasty person. A man of Chang zhou 常州 in present-day Jiang su 江 蘇. He transmitted a recipe for a pill with frankincense and nutmeg to cure incessant diarrhea. In SE rou dou kou 肉豆蔻, LSZ takes over this story from the → Rui zhu tang jing yan fang 瑞竹堂經驗方 but erroneously calls the teacher Hou jiao shou 侯教授, “Teacher Hou” [1]. Zhan shu 占書, “Book on divination” [1] This is either a general designation for books on divination, or a reference to a specific book with the two characters zhan shu 佔書 in its title. For example, the Jiu Tang shu jing ji zhi 舊唐書經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the Old History of the Tang,” lists a Zhan shu by → Shi Kuang 師曠 and one by → Dongfang Shuo 東方朔, both in 1 juan. LSZ, without naming an author, cites the Zhan shu with the following statement: “If one wishes to know the outcome of the harvest of the five types of grain, it is necessary only to observe the five types of fruit, whether they are plentiful or not.” The → Qi min yao shu 齊民要術 quotes Shi Kuang’s Zhan shu as saying: “When the fruit of the apricot trees are plentiful and not infested by bugs, the harvest of the standing grain will be good that year. The five types of trees precede the five types of grain. Hence, to know [the results of the harvest of ] the five types of grain one must only observe the five types of trees.” This is similar to the material cited in the BCGM. Zhang 張 [1] → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景 [1] → Zhang Qizheng 張七政 Zhang bai hu 張百戶, “Company Commander Zhang” [1] Ming 明 dynasty official. Personal name unknown. A man of Qi zhou wei 蘄州 衛, now Qi chun 蘄春 in Hu bei 湖北. In SE fu zi 附子, LSZ claims that Zhang reached an age of more than 80 years because he ingested deer velvet and processed aconite all his life. Zhang Bo 張勃 Western Jin 晉 author. A man of Dun huang 敦煌, now part of Gan su 甘肅. He held posts during the reign of Emperor Wu 武 of Jin (r. 266-290) and was the
634 author of the → Wu lu 吳錄. LSZ refers to him as Zhang Bo [6] and in SE hua shi 滑石 of the Jin ling 金陵 edition erroneously as Zhang Chi 張勅 [1]. Zhang Bocang 張寶藏 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty high official. Originally a Commander of the Imperial Insignia (jin yu jang 金吾長), he submitted a recipe that cured Emperor → Tang Tai zong 唐太宗 of dysentery. Thereupon the emperor made an exception and promoted Zhang Bocang to be a third rank civil official (san pin wen guan 三品文 官). This is recorded in the → Du yi zhi 獨異志, and LSZ mentions the story in SE niu 牛. Zhang Buyu 張不愚 [3] Southern Song 宋 physician, an expert in gynecology. A man of Shang cai 上 蔡 in present-day He nan 河南. Details about his life are unavailable. The → Fu ren liang fang 婦人良方 lists three recipes associated with him, which LSZ takes over in his main text. Zhang Cang 張蒼 (256-152 BCE) [1] Western Han 漢 high official. A man of Yang wu 陽武, now Yuan yang 原陽 in He nan 河南. He served as Imperial Censor (yu shi 御史) during the Qin 秦 dynasty, and later pledged allegiance to Liu Bang 劉邦 (→ Han Gao zu 漢高祖). He rose to the post of Counselor-in-chief (cheng xiang 丞相) and was enfeoffed as Marquis of Bei ping (Bei ping hou 北平侯). He had a special interest in musical temperament and calendrics, and was the author of the Jiu zhang suan shu 九章算術, “Nine Chapters on the Art of Mathematics.” Zhang has a biography in the → Shi ji 史記, which states that in his later years he consumed breast milk to promote longevity. LSZ cites this in SE ru zhi 乳汁. Zhang Changmin 張昌明 → Zhang Changshi 張昌時 Zhang Changshi 張昌時 Song 宋 dynasty official, served as assistant magistrate of Jia xing 嘉興. He transmitted a recipe for a powder with qiang huo 羌活 to cure “water qi” (shui qi 水氣). The → Ben shi fang 本事方 cites this recipe, and LSZ takes it over in SE du huo 獨活, erroneously writing Zhang’s name Zhang Changming 張昌明 [1]. Zhang Chengzhong 張成忠 [1] Northern Song 宋 person. A man of Han yang 漢陽 in present-day Hu bei 湖 北. According to the → Ming yi lu 名醫錄, his young daughter swallowed a golden hairpin by accident. She was cured by ingesting a powder made from the ashes of a goat’s shin-bone. This story is quoted in the → Yi shuo 醫説, and LSZ takes it over in SE yang 羊. Zhang Chi 張勅 → Zhang Bo 張勃 Zhang Congzheng 張從正 (1158-1228) Jin 金 dynasty physician and a major figure of the Song-Jin-Yuan 宋金元 medical currents. Style name Zihe 子和, literary name Dairen 戴人, “Honored Man,” a man of Kao cheng 考城 in Ju zhou 雎州, now Lan kao 蘭考 in He nan 河南. During the xing ding 興定 reign period (1217-1221) he was called to the Imperial Academy of Medicine (tai yi yuan 太醫院) but resigned shortly after. He dis-
635 cussed medical theory with individuals such as → Ma Zhiji 麻知幾 and Chang Zhongming 常仲明. Following the example of → Liu Wansu 劉完素, he emphasized cooling medicinals and the expelling of pathological influences (xie 邪) to reestablish the correct relationships (zheng 正) within the body. Author of the → Ru men shi qin 儒門事親. LSZ refers to Zhang as Zhang Congzheng [11], Zhang Zihe 張子和 [18], Zihe 子和 [2], or Congzheng 從正 [17]. Zhang daheng 張大亨 [1] Northern Song 宋 official. Style name Xifu 嘉父, a man of Wu yuan 婺源 in present-day Jiang xi 江西. Jin shi 1091. He served at the Imperial Archives (mi ge 秘閣) and in other positions. In 1117 he developed a serious condition of malaria (nüe 瘧) and was ready to retire from his career as an official. He was cured after having ingested a recipe given to him by Wu Neihan 吳内翰 (→ Wu Qian 吳 幵). The story is recorded in the → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方. LSZ cites it in SE gao liang jiang 高良薑 but gives the Zhu shi ji yan fang 朱氏集驗方, “Collected Efficacious Recipes of Mr. Zhu,” (→ Ji yan fang 集驗方 ) as his source. Zhang degong 張德恭 [1] Ming 明 dynasty medical writer. Author of a → Dou zhen bian lan fang 痘疹便 覽方. The Guang zhou zhi 光州志, “Guang zhou Gazetteer,” lists a man of this name. Style name Zi’an 子安, a man of Guang shan 光山, now part of He nan 河南, jin shi 1559. Author of the Yi jie Qi Huang 易解岐黃, “Explanations from the Book of Changes [to the Conversations of ] the Yellow [Thearch] and Qi [Bo],” and other books. Whether this Zhang Degong was the author of the Dou zhen bian lan fang quoted in the BCGM remains unproven. The Zhang Degong quoted by LSZ might also be identical with → Zhang Qingchuan 張清川, author of the → Dou zhen bian lan 痘疹便覽, about whom nothing is known. Zhang dexing 張得興 [1] Fictitious person. See → Zhang Ruyi 張如意. Zhang di 張敵 [1] Five Dynasties period person. The → Qiao mu xian tan 樵牧閑談 reports that he was in possession of a mirror that was able to illuminate the bedroom and show the bodies of people in a healthy state. LSZ cites this in SE gu jing 古鏡. Zhang dianbing 張典兵 → Zhang Gao 張告 Zhang ding 張鼎 Tang 唐 dynasty Daoist and medical writer, fl. kai yuan 開元 reign period (713741). Literary name Wu xuan zi 䏸玄子, “Master of Fish Mystery,” Chong he zi 沖和子, “Master Who Mixes Liquids.” He was the author of various works such as the Yu fang mi jue 玉房祕訣, “Secret Instructions from the Jade Chamber,” or the Tai qing xuan ji wen 太清璇璣文, “Writings on the Jade Armillary Sphere of Great Clarity,” most of which are now lost. Zhang also expanded the Bu yang fang 補養方, “Recipes for Supplementation and Nourishment,” of → Meng Shen 孟詵 to produce the → Shi liao ben cao 食療本草. LSZ refers to him as Zhang Ding [18] and Ding 鼎 [11] when citing material from that text.
636 Zhang donghai 張東海 (1438-1497) [1] This is the literary name Zhang Bi 張弼, a Ming 明 dynasty official, calligrapher, and poet. Style name Rubi 汝弼, a man of Hua ting 華亭, now part of Shang hai 上海. Jin shi 1466. Zhang held high central and local posts and has a biography in the Ming shi 明史, “History of the Ming.” He was good at the cursive style of calligraphy, and his poetry was considered clear and refined. Zhang’s writings are assembled in the → Zhang Donghai ji 張東海集. Zhang Donghai ji 張東海集, “Collection of Zhang donghai” [1] Literary collection of Zhang Bi 張弼 (→ Zhang Donghai 張東海) See bibliography of the BCGM. Written by Zhang Bi, compiled by his son. 9 juan (5 juan of prose and 4 juan of poetry). The book did not circulate widely but is nevertheless still extant. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but does not cite it directly in the main text. Zhang Gao 張杲 (c. 1149-1227) [19] Southern Song 宋 medical expert. Style name Ji ming 季明, a man of Xi xian 歙縣 in Xin an 新安, now part of An hui 安徽. Zhang came from a family of hereditary physicians and was the author of the → Yi shuo 醫説, a book of medical anecdotes assembled from medical works and things that Zhang heard and saw himself.
In some old editions of the BCGM, this is an incorrect writing for → Zhang Guo 張果. Zhang Gao 張告 Tang 唐 dynasty scholar, a xiu cai 秀才, “Cultivated Talent,” from Jing zhou 荊 州. According to the → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎, he once got hold of a louse with two heads. LSZ cites this in SE ren shi 人虱 but erroneously gives his name as Zhang Dianbing 張典兵 [1]. Zhang gong 張公 → Zhang Yanshang 張延賞 Zhang gong zhu 長公主, “Eldest Princess” [1] Sister of an emperor. LSZ recounts the story of the illness of → Yi guo gong 儀國公, son of the Song 宋 emperor → Shen zong 神宗. The emperor’s sister recommended the physician → Qian Yi 錢乙 to cure him. LSZ cites this in SE huang tu 黃土. Zhang gui fei 張貴妃 [1] First-ranking concubine (gui fei 貴妃) surnamed Zhang 張, lived during the Southern Chen 陳 dynasty. Further details about her life are unavailable. LSZ, in SE zhu sha 朱砂, mentions a cosmetic recipe that she is said to have regularly used. Zhang Guo 張果 (8th century?) [6] Tang 唐 era alchemist. Details about his life are uncertain, for they involve claims of immortality. It is said that during his youth Zhang lived as a Daoist recluse at mount Zhong tiao 中條 and went back and forth between the Fen 汾 river and the Jin 晉 area. People thus believed him to be several hundred years old when
637 he was summoned to the court of → Tang Xuan zong 唐玄宗 in 733. He was appointed to an official post and received the literary name Tongxuan xiansheng 通 玄先生, “Gentleman Who Penetrates the Profundities.” Later he became known as Zhang Guo lao 張果老, “Zhang Guo the Old,”and was recognized as one of the Eight Immortals. The Dao zang 道藏, “Daoist Canon,” (→ Dao zang jing 道 藏經) records his work Yu dong da shen dan sha zhen yao jue 玉洞大神丹砂真要 訣, “True and Essential Secret Instructions for Cinnabar [Preparations] of the Great Spirits of the Jade Cavern,” (→ Yu dong yao jue 玉洞要訣). In some old editions of the BCGM Zhang is erroneously referred to as Zhang Gao 張杲 in the bibliography. Zhang Han 張翰 [2] Western Jin 晉 literatus. Style name Jiying 季鷹, a man of Wu xian 吳縣 in Wu jun 吳郡, now Su zhou 蘇州 in Jiang su 江蘇. He is said to have been a talented man with special skills in writing. His biography in the → Jin shu 晉書 reports that when Zhang saw the autumn winds come up, he thought of a vegetable broth with chunks of lu yu 鱸魚, a dish he knew from his hometown. He thereupon resigned from his official post. LSZ cites this in his main text. Zhang Heng 張衡 (78-139) [1] Eastern Han 漢 scientist and literatus, an expert in astronomy.

Zhang Shumin 張叔敏 → Zhang Minshu 張敏叔 Zhang shuo 瘴説, “discourse on Miasma” [1] Reference to a discourse recorded in the → Ling nan wei sheng fang 嶺南衛生 方, not the title of a book or chapter. The Ling nan wei sheng fang contains a section titled Ling biao shi shuo 嶺表十説, “Ten Discourses on Ling biao,” which discusses miasmatic diseases.

646 yin 溺白垽, referring to Zhang as Zhang Sishun [1] and erroneously as Zhang Runzhi 張潤之 [1] due to his incorrect reading of the original passage that says “Zhang supervised Run [zhou] in Jiang kou town” (Zhang jian Run zhi Jiang kou zhen 張監潤之江口鎮).

The Sui chu tang shu mu 遂初堂書目, “Catalogue of the Hall of Entering Seclusion,” lists a Zhang Tianjue ji 張天覺集, “Collection of Zhang Tianjue,” which is no longer extant. LSZ cites a story from the collection about a cure of “massive wind” (da feng 大 風) with chang song 長松, which the text claims to be preserved in the → Qing liang zhuan 清涼傳 of → Shi Huixiang 釋慧祥. The story is definitely cited in the Song 宋 period Mian shui yan tan 澠水燕談, “Leisure Talk from River Mian,” and taken over into the → Yi shuo 醫説.

Zhang Wenyi 張文懿 (964-1049) [1] This is the posthumous name of Zhang Shixun 張士遜, a Northern Song 宋 high official. Style name Shunzhi 順之, a man of Yin cheng 陰城, now Gu cheng 谷城 in Hu bei 湖北. Jin shi 992. He served as Minister of Rites (li bu shang shu 禮部尚書) and Minister of Justice (xing bu shang shu 刑部尚書) and was appointed Grand Councilor (xiang 相) three times. The → Song shi 宋史 has his biography. He was the author of the Ben cao kuo yao shi 本草括要詩, “Materia
648 Medica Including Important Poems,” and Yuan 元 period materia medica texts quote his statements. LSZ cites him in SE qian niu zi 牽牛子. Zhang Wenzhong 張文仲 [51] Tang 唐 dynasty physician. A man of Luo yang 洛陽 in Luo zhou 洛州, now part of He nan 河南. He was made imperial physician during the early reign of Empress Wu 武 (690-704) and was later put in charge of the pharmaceutical bureau.

Among other posts, he served as Advisor to the Heir Apparent (tai zi bin ke 太子賓客) and Vice Minister of Personnel (li bu shi lang 吏部侍郎). A disease affecting the heart of his son was recorded in the → Bei meng suo yan 北夢瑣言. This was quoted in the → ZLBC, where his personal name is incorrectly given as Tang 湯, Yang 楊, etc., several times. LSZ follows this mistake when citing the story second hand in SE yi yu 衣魚, referring to Zhang as Zhang Tang 張湯 [1]. Zhang xiang gong 張相公, “Minister duke Zhang” [1] This is → Zhang Yong 張詠. In his → Jin xi xian wan biao 進狶薟丸表 he included the statement “Who could know that among the cheapest items there are some with a most unusual effect” (shei zhi zhi jian zhi zhong nai you shu chang zhi xiao 誰知至賤之中乃有殊常之效). Zhang Xiao 張小 Eastern Jin 晉 person accused of having poisoned → Jiang Shixian 蔣士先 with gu 蠱.

He held a post at the palace library and was the author of a Zhang Xiaobiao ji 章孝標集, “Collection of Zhang Xiaobiao.” LSZ cites two sentences from one of his poems in SE wa 蛙.

Zhang held court and regional offices but retired from public life because of the political upheavals at the beginning of the yong jia 永嘉 reign period (307-312). He was known for his shi 詩 and fu 賦 poetry. The Sui shu jing ji zhi 隋書經籍志, “Bibliographical Treatise in the History of the Sui,” records his 4 juan literary collection, the Zhang Xie ji 張 協集, “Collection of Zhang Xie,” now lost, and LSZ lists a Zhang Xie fu 張協 賦, “Rhapsody by Zhang Xie” [1] in his bibliography, but it is uncertain whether he is referring to the Zhang Xie ji or an individual poem. The ZLBC quotes a Du zhe fu 都蔗賦, “Rhapsody on Sugar Cane,” by Zhang, and LSZ cites Zhang’s
649 poem → Qi ming 七命 in his main text, referring to the author as Zhang Xie [1] and Zhang Jingyang 張景陽 [2]. A Zhang Jingyang ji 張景陽集, “Collection of Zhang Jingyang,” contained in the Han Wei liu chao bai san jia ji 漢魏六朝百三 家集, “Collection of 103 poets of Han, Wei, and the Six Dynasties,” was created during the late Ming 明 after LSZ’s lifetime.

Style name Shumo 叔謨, a man of Yuan ju 冤句 in Cao zhou 曹州, now in the northwest of Cao xian 曹 縣 in Shan dong 山東. He was a jin shi and held various central posts.

He served in various high positions such as Vice Censor-in-chief (yu shi zhong cheng 御史中丞). The Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書) has his biography. According to the → Chuan xin fang 傳信方, he once summoned a physician to treat his judge → Zhang Jian 張薦, who had been bitten by a spider. LSZ cites this in SE lan 藍 and in SE zhi zhu 蜘蛛, referring to Zhang as Zhang Yanshang [2] and Zhang gong 張公, “Honorable Mr. Zhang,” [3]. In SE zhi zhu, however, he erroneously identifies Zhang Yanshang as having suffered from a spider bite himself.

LSZ quotes that work and Zhang’s notes to the Han shu (→ Han shu zhu 漢書注). Zhang Yi zhu Han shu 張揖注漢書 → Han shu zhu 漢書注 Zhang yong 張詠 Name of a person who governed Yi zhou 益州 sometime during the period extending from Tang 唐 to Song 宋. The → ZLBC records a → Jin xi xian wan biao 進豨薟丸表 by → Zhang Yong 張詠. According to this stone tablet inscription, Zhang Yong found an excavated stele with descriptions of life cultivation techniques and two recipes with descriptions of a drug called “fire shovel”
650 (huo qian 火杴), that is, xi xian 豨薟. Zhang Yong used the drug on himself and others (among them a lackey called → Luo Shouyi 羅守一 and the Buddhist monk → Zhiyan 智嚴) with considerable success. Upon this he dispatched a minor official called → Shi Yuan 史元 to present a memorial about the recipe to the emperor. LSZ refers to Zhang as Zhang Yong [2] and Zhang xiang gong 張相公 [1]. Zhang yuansu 張元素 (late 12th, early 13th centuries) Jin 金 dynasty medical expert. Style name Jiegu 潔古, a man of Yi zhou 易州, now Yi xian 易縣 in He bei 河北. After failing the imperial examinations Zhang turned to medicine instead and is said to have submerged himself into the teachings of the → Huang di su wen 黃帝素問.

He was the author of the → Jiegu zhen zhu nang 潔古珍珠囊 and the → Jiegu jia zhen 潔古家珍, and is attributed the → Yi xue qi yuan 醫學啟源 and other medical works. LSZ claims that the → Bing ji qi yi bao ming ji 病機氣宜保 命集 (which he equates with the → Huo fa ji yao 活法機要) is a work of Zhang’s as well, and that it was later attributed to → Liu Wansu 劉完素. He also states that many later authors wrote their own works in Zhang’s name, this explaining the heterogenous nature of texts attributed to Jiegu. Modern scholarship, however, has identified the Bing ji qi yi bao ming ji and the Huo fa ji yao as two different texts, the former indeed a work of Liu Wansu and the latter of → Li Gao 李杲. LSZ holds Zhang in high esteem, referring to him as Zhang Yuansu [26], → Yuansu 元素 [209], Zhang Jiegu 張潔古 [11], Jiegu [45], Yi lao 易老, “Old Man of Yi,” [2], and as Zhang shi 張氏, “Mr. Zhang,” [10], once specifying this designation with Zhang’s native place Yi shui 易水 [1].

He was the author of a book titled Xuanzhen zi in 1 juan. He enjoyed creating fisherman’s songs, and one of them includes a sentence on the mandarin fish.

His writings were edited and printed during the Northern Song 宋 and the result were three separate books, the → Shang han lun 傷寒論 in 10 juan, the → Jin kui yao lüe 金匱要略 in 3 juan, and the → Jin kui yu han fang 金匱玉函方 in 8 juan. LSZ uses all these, but when citing Zhang’s name alone, he does not distinguish which text he is using. He refers to Zhang as Zhang Zhongjing [162], as Zhongjing 仲景 [91], as Zhang Ji [4], as Zhang shi 張氏, “Mr. Zhang,” [1], or simply as Zhang 張 [1]. Zhang Zhongjing fang 張仲景方 → Shang han lun 傷寒論 Zhang Zhou 張周 → Zhang Zhoufeng 張周封 Zhang Zhoufeng 張周封 Tang 唐 dynasty official, fl. 1st half of the 9th century. Style name Ziwang 子望.

LSZ, in SE yi yi 薏苡, cites the → Ji sheng fang 濟生方 as saying: “Zhao Junyou said: ‘frequent use is effective.’” However, in present-day editions of the Ji sheng fang no such statement can be found, so it can be assumed that the title Ji sheng fang is a slip of the pen for Pu ji fang. Zhao Kui 趙葵 (1186-1266) Southern Song 宋 official. Style name Nanzhong 南仲, a man of Heng shan 衡 山 in Tan zhou 潭州, now part of Hu nan 湖南.

He is said to have been highly skilled in the treatment of a wide range of diseases, especially malaria. LSZ takes over his name from another source.

[2] → Zhao shi jing yan fang 趙氏經驗方 Zhao shi jing yan 趙氏經驗 → Zhao shi jing yan fang 趙氏經驗方 Zhao shi jing yan fang 趙氏經驗方, “Tried and Proven recipes of Mr. Zhao” Medical recipe book. See bibliography of the BCGM. LSZ constantly confuses → Zhao Yizhen 趙宜真, → Liu Changchun 劉長春, and → Shao Yizheng 邵 以正 and occasionally assigns the → Jing yan fang 經驗方 by Shao to both other authors. Most probably this Zhao shi jing yan fang and the → Jing yan fang 經驗方 of Liu Changchun, both listed in the bibliographical sections of the BCGM, are identical with Shao Yizheng’s work. LSZ cites the book as Zhao shi jing yan fang [3], as Zhao shi jing yan 趙氏經驗, “Tried and Proven by Mr. Zhao,” [1], and as Zhao shi fang 趙氏方, “Recipes of Mr. Zhao,” [2]. Additionally, the actual work of Shao Yizheng is cited under various other names in the main text, but Shao’s collection → Qing nang za zuan 青囊雜纂 (which contains the Jing
655 yan fang) is the only book by Shao himself that is mentioned in LSZ’s bibliography.

Zhao’s theories are found in the → Yu ji wei yi 玉機微義 of → Liu Chun 劉 純. LSZ cites Zhao’s theories from that source and also includes a → Shang han lun 傷寒論 of Zhao Sizhen in his bibliographical sections, which is probably an error for the Huo ren shi yi. Zhao tai wei 趙太尉, “defender-in-chief Zhao” [1] Song 宋 dynasty prince of the imperial clan. Personal name unknown.

The → Bo zhai bian 泊宅編 reports the application yan hu suo 延胡索 to cure muscular spasms resulting from excessive gymnastic exercise by one Zhao dai zhi Ting 趙待制霆, “Edict Attendant Zhao Ting,” [1], but whether this is the same person as the da guan period Commissioner of Waterways is uncertain.

He took advantage of the rebellion against Qin 秦 to seize Gui lin 桂林 commandery and make himself a king. At the beginning of the Han dynasty he was enfeoffed as Nan yue wang 南粵王 (AV Nan yue wang 南越王), “King of Nan yue,” r. 203-137 BCE. Events of his life are found in his biography in the → Han shu 漢書, but LSZ erroneously cites this material as from the → Lu Jia zhuan 陸賈傳, referring to Zhao as Wei Tuo 尉佗, “Com-
656 mandant Wei,” [1]. He also draws on the → Xi jing za ji 西京雜記 for a story about the Nan yue wang 南粵王 [1] and cites material second hand from the → TJBC, referring to Zhao as Zhao Tuo [3] and Nan yue wang 南越王 [1]. References to a → Yue wang 越王 [3] are also to Zhao Tuo.

In the 19th year of his reign, in 307 BCE, he initiated a military reform to have his horsemen and archers wear clothing of the Hu 胡 tribes, the “Northern Barbarians.” LSZ, in SE pi xue 皮鞾, identifies the xue 鞾 footwear as originating from the Hu people, stating that King Wuling liked to wear short boots.

These and other similar books were later passed on by Zhao to his disciple → Liu Changchun 劉長春, who in turn passed them on to → Shao Yizheng 邵以正. Shao then produced the collection → Qing nang za zuan 青囊雜纂 from the transmitted works. LSZ regarded Zhao as the author of the → Ji ji xian fang 濟急仙方 in the Qing nang za zuan and also erroneously associated Zhao with the Mi chuan jing yan fang 秘傳經驗方, “Secretly Transmitted Tried and Proven Recipes,” by Shao Yizhen (→ Jing yan fang 經驗方 ) in the same collection, calling it → Zhao shi jing yan fang 趙氏經驗方. He refers to Zhao as Zhao Yizhen [2], as Zhao
657 zhenren [4], as Zhao Yuanyang 趙原陽 [4], as Zhao Yuanyang zhenren 趙原陽 真人, “Zhao Yuanyang the Perfected One,” [1], and within book titles as Zhao shi 趙氏, “Mr. Zhao,” [6].

He reached the age of 90 years. The story is quoted in the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, and LSZ cites it second hand in SE fu zi 附子 but erroneously gives the → Yi shuo 醫説 as his source. Zhao Zishan 趙子山 [1] Song 宋 dynasty person. Style name Jinggao 景高. Once resided in Shao wu 邵 武 at the Jun tian wang si 軍天王寺 monastery. According to the → Yijian zhi 夷堅志, he suffered from a tapeworm and was cured after accidentally having drunk water from a big jar filled with hong teng 紅藤 used by the monks to weave sandals. LSZ cites this in SE sheng teng 省藤. Zhaoliang 昭亮 This is Shu Zhaoliang 舒昭亮, a Song 宋 dynasty official. According to the → Meng xi bi tan 夢溪筆談, he once rubbed his teeth with ku shen 苦參 to cure his toothache, and experienced a feeling of heaviness in his lower back as a result. The incident is quoted by LSZ, who refers to Shu only by his personal name.
658 Zhe zhi 浙志, “Zhe jiang Gazetteer” [1] Title of a book. Not listed in any ancient or recent bibliography. LSZ identifies the alternative name jiang yu 江魚 for shi shou yu 石首魚 as originating from a Zhe zhi, but his source is uncertain. The Xi hu you lan zhi yu 西湖遊覽志餘, “Extra Records Taken Travelling at West Lake,” (→ Xi hu zhi 西湖志) writes: “The inhabitants of Hang zhou highly value jiang yu. This fish has two white stones at the head. Another name is [therefore] ‘stone head fish’ (shi shou yu).” This may have been the source LSZ relied on. Zhe zong 哲宗 → Song Zhe zong 宋哲宗 Zhen 珍 → Li Shizhen 李時珍 Zhen dou fang 疹痘方, “recipes for [the Treatment of ] Smallpox Papules” [1] Medical recipe book. EE BCGM. Not listed in any ancient or more recent bibliographical source. In SE qian dan 鉛丹, LSZ cites a recipe from a Zhen dou fang to treat visual obstruction resulting from “smallpox papules” (dou zhen 痘疹), but his source remains uncertain. Zhen gao 真誥, “declarations of the Perfected” [4] Liang 梁 dynasty Daoist book, one of the main texts of Shang qing 上清 Daoism. FE Jiu Tang shu jing ji zhi 舊唐書經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the Old History of the Tang.” Written by → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景. 20 juan. The book holds Daoist hagiographies, information on self-cultivation practices and on places important to Daoists. The entire book is preserved in the Dong xuan 洞 玄, “Cavern of Mystery,” section of the Dao zang 道藏, “Daoist Canon,” (→ Dao zang jing 道藏經), while the → Lei shuo 類説 includes an abbreviated version. LSZ seems to quote the Zhen gao only from the abridged Lei shuo edition. References to a → Dao shu 道書 by Tao Hongjing may also be to this book. Zhen jing 針經 → Ling shu jing 靈樞經 Zhen la ji 真腊記, “records of Zhen la” [6] Abbreviation for the Zhen la feng tu ji 真腊風土記, “Records of Customs and Geographical Surroundings of Zhen la,” a Yuan 元 dynasty geographical text. FE Xu wen xian tong kao 續文獻通考, “Sequel to the Comprehensive Study of Literary and Documentary Sources.” Written by → Zhou Daguan 周達觀. DC a few years after 1297. 1 juan. The book provides information on the local conditions and customs of what the Chinese called Zhen la 真腊, the Khmer empire in present-day Cambodia. LSZ cites the text in connection with pharmaceutical drugs from the area. Zhen la shi zhe 真臘使者, “Envoy from Zhen la” [1] Tang 唐 period envoy from the Cambodia area. In its discussion of the origins of zi kuang 紫𨥥, the → You yang za zu 酉陽雜俎 mentions “an envoy from the empire of Zhen la, commandant of Zhe chong 折衝, the Buddhist monk Shishanibatuo 施沙尼拔陁.” Hence the name of the envoy was apparently Shishanibatuo. LSZ cites this in his main text but simply refers to an “envoy from Zhen la.”
659 Zhen Liyan 甄立言 [4] Tang 唐 dynasty official and medical expert, the younger brother of → Zhen Quan 甄權. A man of Fu gou 扶溝 in Xu zhou 許州, now part of He nan 河南. Zhen Quan’s biography in the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書) refers to Liyan’s medical studies with his elder brother. He held a high court post during the wu de 武德 reign period (618-626) and was the author of the → Ben cao yin yi 本草音義 and the → Gu jin lu yan fang 古今 錄驗方. Some also attribute a Ben cao yao xing 本草藥性, “Materia Medica on the Properties of Pharmaceuticals,” in 3 juan to him (→ Yao xing ben cao 藥性本 草). All these books are now lost and are sometimes associated with Zhen Quan instead of his brother. LSZ cites material from the Gu jin lu yan fang, although he erroneously attributes this text to → Chu Yushi 初虞世. He also cites a story from the Jiu Tang shu second hand from the → ZLBC about Zhen curing someone of gu 蠱 poisoning. Zhen Liyan ben cao 甄立言本草 → Ben cao yin yi 本草音義 Zhen Quan 甄權 (541-643) Tang 唐 dynasty medical expert. A man of Fu gou 扶溝 in Xu zhou 許州, now part of He nan 河南. He has a biography in the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書), which states that due to an illness of their mother Zhen Quan and his younger brother → Zhen Liyan 甄立言 took up medical studies. He held a literary post at the beginning of the Sui 隋 dynasty, but in the last year of his life the family was shown special favor by → Tang Tai zong 唐太宗, and Zhen received a court appointment. Zhen wrote two books, both apparently lost, a → Mai jing 脈經 and the → Ming tang ren xing tu 明 堂人形圖. Some also consider him the author of the → Ben cao yin yi 本草音 義 , the → Gu jin lu yan fang 古今錄驗方, and a Ben cao yao xing 本草藥性, “Materia Medica on the Properties of Pharmaceuticals,” but these works are also attributed to Zhen’s brother Zhen Liyan. LSZ firmly believed that the Ben cao yao xing (which he reverses to read → Yao xing ben cao 藥性本草) was the → Yao xing lun 藥性論 quoted by the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草. All of the BCGM’s references to Zhen Quan [356], Quan 權 [195], Zhen shi 甄氏, “Mr. Zhen,” [3], the Yao xing lun, or the Yao xing ben cao are taken from the Jia you ben cao. Zhen Quan ben cao 甄權本草→ Yao xing ben cao 藥性本草 Zhen Quan yao xing 甄權藥性 → Yao xing ben cao 藥性本草 Zhen shi 甄氏 → Zhen Quan 甄權 Zhen Wu 真武 [1] This is Xuan Wu 玄武, a spirit in the ancient mythology of northern China. During the Song 宋, his name was changed to Zhenwu due to a naming taboo. He is also known as Zhen Wu dadi 真武大帝. LSZ relates the story of how Zhenwu broke a twig off a plum tree and grafted it onto a lang 榔 tree, and this was the creation of the lang mei 榔梅 fruit. This legend originates from the → Da Ming yi tong zhi 大明一統志.
660 Zhen Xishan 真西山 (1178-1235) [2] This is the nickname of Zhen Dexiu 真德秀, a Southern Song high official and scholar. Style name Jingyuan 景元, later Jingxi 景希 (AV Xiyuan 希元), posthumous name Wenzhong 文忠, “Literary and Loyal.” He was called Xishan xiansheng 西山先生, “Gentleman of the Western Mountain,” thus his designation as Zhen Xishan. A man of Pu cheng 浦城 in Jian ning 建寧, now part of Fu jian 福建, jin shi 1199. Zhen was a disciple of Zhu Xi 朱熹 (→ Zhu zi 朱子) and was equally famous to the great Confucian scholar Wei Liaoweng 魏了翁. He was initially pushed aside by opponents to hold various provincial posts outside the capital but eventually managed to become a member of the Han lin 翰林 Academy in 1234. The year after he was honored with the post of Participant in Determining Governmental Matters (can zhi zheng shi 參知政事). He wrote various books, and his literary collection is known as Zhen Wenzhong gong ji 真文忠公 集, “Collection of the Honorable Zhen Wenzhong.” LSZ cites his → Wei sheng ge 衛生歌, referring to Zhen by his nickname. Zhen yi zhuan 甄異傳, “Notes on discerning Extraordinary Things” [3] Lost Eastern Jin 晉 book of tales of the strange (zhi guai xiao shuo 志怪小説).

The title refers to manifestations of supernatural phenomena, and the text includes much Eastern Jin hearsay of ghosts and monstrous creatures. Fragments are found in the → Qi min yao shu 齊民要術, the → Bei tang shu chao 北堂書鈔, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → Ce fu yuan gui 冊府元龜, and other texts. LSZ cites the work in his bibliographical sections and the main text second hand from books like the Qi min yao shu or the → Shuo fu 説郛.

DC 796. 5 juan. The text contained 586 recipes, but only 49 survive as fragments in the → ZLBC, from which LSZ takes his quotations. He refers to the book as Zhen yuan guang li fang [11], Guang li fang 廣利方, “Recipes for Extensive Benefit,” [38], or as Guang li 廣利, “Extensive Benefit,” [4]. Zhen zhong fang 枕中方, “recipes Kept in One’s Headrest” [2] Lost, anonymous text on life cultivation. Cited in the → Cha jing 茶經. DC uncertain. It contains recipes to treat “scrofula pervasion-illness” (luo li 瘰 歷), which LSZ takes over in the main text of the BCGM.

Zhen zong 真宗 → Song Zhen zong 宋真宗 Zhenbai xiansheng 貞白先生 → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 Zheng bu lun 正部論, “discourse on the Legal division” Lost Eastern Han 漢 book. Compiled by → Wang Yi 王逸. Fragments are quoted in the Song 宋 → Shi lei fu 事類賦, where the title is incorrectly written Yu bu lun 玉部論. “Discourse on the Jade Division.” LSZ takes this error over, referring to the text as Yu lun 玉論, “Jade Discourse,” [1]. Zheng chuan 正傳 → Yi xue zheng chuan 醫學正傳 Zheng feng shi 鄭風詩 → Shi jing 詩經 Zheng fu ma 鄭駙馬, “Commandant-escort Zheng” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty person. The → Xu chuan xin fang 續傳信方 states that his personal name was forgotten. However, textual comparison with the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書, “Old History of the Tang,” (→ Tang shu 唐書) shows that this Commandant-escort Zheng may have been the Reminder of the Right (you shi yi 右 拾遺) Zheng Hao 鄭顥. In 850, upon his marriage to Princess Wan Shou 萬 壽, this Zheng Hao was awarded various official posts, including that of Commandant-escort (fu ma du wei 駙馬都尉). The Xu chuan xin fang reports that he modified a recipe by → Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景 for pills with qing mu xiang 青木香, and LSZ takes this over in SE mu xiang 木香. Zheng he ben cao 政和本草, “The Zheng he reign Period Materia Medica” [1] CMM, a re-edited edition of the → ZLBC. Full name Zheng he xin xiu jing shi zheng lei bei yong ben cao 政和新修經史證類備用本草, “The Zheng he Reign Period Verified and Categorized Materia Medica for Practical Use, Newly Revised and Based on Classics and Histories.” In 1116, the sixth year of the zheng he 政和 reign period, → Cao Xiaozhong 曹孝忠 and others received imperial
662 orders to revise the → Da guan ben cao 大觀本草, thus the name. 30 juan. The book had only just been published at the Imperial Academy when it was carried off north by Jin 金 armies. As a consequence the text circulated widely in North China during the Jin and Yuan 元 dynasties, and the text remained popular in the Ming 明. This was the version of the ZLBC LSZ used for the compilation of the BCGM, although he refers back to the original text in his citations and only mentions the name Zheng he ben cao in the ZLBC entry in his bibliographical sections.

DC 1098-1108. 31 juan. The text combined the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草 and the → TJBC, and drew additional material from medical texts such as the → Lei gong pao zhi lun 雷公炮炙 論, the → Tang ben cao 唐本草, the → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺, or the → Shi liao ben cao 食療本草 as well as from non-medical texts that contained information on medicinals. The ZLBC holds more than 500 monographs on pharmaceutical drugs, including 8 newly added substances, recipes, and discussions. The text was repeatedly revised in the subsequent centuries to produce the → Da guan ben cao 大觀本草, the → Zheng he ben cao 政和本草, and the Shao xing ben cao 紹興本 草, “The Shao xing Reign Period Materia Medica.” It is noteworthy in particular because of its preservation of lost material from pre-Song times. LSZ praised the work for this and used it as a basis for the compilation of the BCGM. He refers to the work as Zheng lei ben cao [12], as Zheng lei 證類, “Verified and Categorized,” [25] as Song ben cao 宋本草, “Song Materia Medica,” [8], Jiu ben 舊本, “Old Book,” [29], and as Tang Shenwei ben cao 唐慎微本草, “Materia Medica of Tang Shenwei,” [7]. He also labels material from the text Tang Shenwei fang 唐 慎微方, “Recipe of Tang Shenwei,” [1] or with the name of the author alone, as Tang Shenwei [15] or Shenwei 慎微 [55]. One reference to a → Song ben 宋本 [1] is probably an erroneous reference to the ZLBC as well. Zheng Qian 鄭虔 (fl. c. 742-755) [2] Tang 唐 dynasty scholar.

663 lestial patterns (tian wen 天文), geography, botany, or zoology. In his old age he wrote the → Tong zhi 通志, summarizing the historical records of various dynasties to create a single book. The text holds 28 brief treatises (lüe 略) that include much information on worms/bugs, plants, and medicinals, thus LSZ’s interest. He refers to Zheng as Zheng Qiao [34] and as Zheng shi 鄭氏, “Mr. Zheng,” [1]. Zheng shi 鄭氏, “Mr. Zheng” [1] In connection with the → Tong zhi 通志, this is → Zheng Qiao 鄭樵. [5] Unidentifiable author of the → Zheng shi jia chuan fang 鄭氏家傳方
[10] In connection with pediatric recipes, this is Zheng Duanyou 鄭端友, a Southern Song 宋 physician and author of the → Quan ying fang 全嬰方 (also called → Zheng shi xiao er fang 鄭氏小兒方 by LSZ). Some case studies included in the book indicate that Zheng must have lived during the 12th century. Further details about his life are unavailable.

LSZ cites the text as Zheng shi jia chuan fang [4] and as Zheng shi jia chuan 鄭氏家傳, “Transmitted by Mr. Zheng’s Family,” [1]. Note that references to a Zheng shi fang 鄭氏 方, “Recipes of Mr. Zheng,” are to another book, the → Zheng shi xiao er fang 鄭 氏小兒方 or rather → Quan ying fang 全嬰方.

AN Quan ying fang lun 全嬰方論, “Discourse on Recipes for Healing Infants.” LSZ also calls the book → Quan ying fang 全嬰方 in his bibliographical sections and the main text, thus giving the work a double entry.

A man of Xin hui 新會 in present-day Guang dong 廣東, provincial graduate (ju ren 舉人) in 1516. He served in Tai ning 泰寧 (now part of Fu jian 福建) during the jia jing 嘉靖 reign period (1522-1567).

Zhi Facun 支法存 Jin 晉 dynasty monk. A man of Ling biao 岭表, today the area south of Wu ling 五岭. Author of a lost Shen su fang 申蘇方, “Recipes for Revival.” He is said to have cured an important literatus from “leg qi” (jiao qi 腳氣) during the yong jia 永嘉 reign period (307-313). LSZ identifies him as → Zhi tai yi 支太醫 [7], author of the → Zhi tai yi fang 支太醫方. Therefore his reference to a Tai yi Zhi Facun fang 太醫支法存方, “Recipe of the Palace Physician Zhi Facun,” [1] is actually to the Zhi tai yi fang. Zhi fu cao shi lun 制伏草石論, “discourse on restraining Herbs and Stones” [1] Lost alchemical book. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” AN Fu zhi cao shi lun 伏制草石論, “Discourse on Restraining Herbs and Stones.” LSZ follows the Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi in attributing the text to Yan Feng 晏封 (→ Qian ning Yan xiansheng 乾寧晏先生). DC presumably 5th century. 6 juan. LSZ refers to the book in the → Lei gong pao zhi lun 雷公炮炙論 entry in his bibliographical sections but does not cite any material from it in the main text.

FE → Jin shu 晉書, biography of → Zu Taizhi 祖臺之, the Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang,” lists it as well. Written by Zu Taizhi. DC early 5th century. 4 juan (AV 2 juan). The book recorded miraculous events of the Jin period. Fragments are preserved in the → Yi wen lei ju 藝文類聚, the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, and other books. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text. The material on horse excrement he uses can be found in the Yi wen lei ju, which refers it to a Zhi guai (sometimes also turning the title around to Guai zhi 怪志). By contrast, the Tai ping yu lan cites the same fragment as coming from the → Xu sou shen ji 續搜神記. LSZ may have taken his material from either book. Zhi gui lun 質龜論, “discourse on the Principal Tortoise” [2] Daoist book. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” 1 juan. According to the Song shi yi wen zhi, the text was found in a rock chamber by Li Chunfeng 李淳風 (602-670). The end of the book itself relates the history of the text: Apparently it was carved into the walls of a rock chamber at Zhong shan 鐘山, and Li Chunfeng copied it and presented it to → Tang Tai zong 唐太宗. Li was a Tang 唐 dynasty expert in celestial patterns (tian wen 天文), mathematics, and yin yang theory. LSZ, for reasons unknown, attributes the book to → Zhang Shinan 張世南 of Southern Song 宋. The → Shuo fu 説郛 quotes a Ji gui lun 箕龜論, “Discourse on the Tortoise Constellation,” by Chen Shidao 陳師道 (1053-1101) of Northern Song 宋, and the information cited there is identical with the Zhi gui lun material. Therefore, the book must have been published by Northern Song at the latest, and LSZ’s attribution to Zhang Shinan is most certainly wrong.

The book is divided into 31 chapters, each with recipes as well as a theoretical discussion. It did not circulate widely and does not seem to have survived in its original form, although a Shi Zaizhi fang 史載之方, “Recipes of Shi Zaizhi,” is still extant that some consider identical with the Zhi nan fang. This view is contradicted by the Zhi nan fang citations in the BCGM, which do not correspond to the contents of the Shi Zaizhi fang. Lost material from the original Zhi nan fang is preserved in the Yong le da dian 永樂大典, “Great Encyclopedia of the Yong le Reign Period,” and the → Pu ji fang 普濟方.

The work details the origins of these four tools and contains many historical anecdotes and poems. LSZ never refers to the collection as a whole but only to the individual parts, listing each one separately in his bibliography. He cites the Zhi pu there and in the main text.

DC 1st half of the 4th century. Fragments are quoted in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘要方, the → ZLBC, the Zhou hou bei ji fang, and other books. LSZ quotes material from the work second hand, sometimes with changes.

FE Xu tong zhi yi wen lüe 續通志藝文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Sequel to the Comprehensive Treatises.” Written by → Zhou Mi 周密. 1 juan. The notes in the book are divided into nine categories. The text shows many discrepancies with other books by Zhou Mi such as the Yun yan guo yan lu 雲煙過眼錄, “Records of Transient Glories,” or the → Gui xin za zhi 癸辛雜識. Therfore it is suspected that the text, although probably based on a preliminary manuscript by Zhou, was amended by a later person to produce the Zhi ya tang za chao. LSZ cites the book as Zhi ya
670 tang za chao [2] and as Zhi ya tang chao 志雅堂抄, “Notes from the Hall of Refined Intent,” [1]. Zhi yan 巵言, “uncertain Words” [9] Ming 明 dynasty collection of brush notes (bi ji 筆記). FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” Written by → Yang Shen 楊慎. 4 juan. The term zhi yan is a modest appellation of one’s own opinions and books. Although some of the contents are found in other books of Yang’s, such as the Dan qian zong lu 丹鉛總錄, “General Records of Cinnabar and Lead,” (→ Dan qian lu 丹鉛錄) or the Sheng’an ji 昇庵集, “Collection of [Yang] Sheng’an,” (→ Yang Sheng’an ji 楊昇庵集), it hardly cites any texts of previous authors. The title is therefore a reference to the author’s own personal ideas. Zhi Yin fang 芝隱方, “recipes of Zhi yin” [2] Source of medical recipes, probably not a book. EE → Pu ji fang 普濟方, citing from the → Hai shang fang 海上方 . Zhi Yin 芝隱 is probably the name of a person, but no details are available on a figure of that name. The text recounts the cure of emperor → Song Du zong 宋度宗 (r. 1265-1274), hence the source being referred to as Zhi Yin fang probably dates to the Yuan 元 or early Ming 明 period. LSZ turns the Pu ji fang reference into a book title in his bibliographical sections and cites the recipe in the main text. Zhi yu 摯虞 [1] Western Jin 晉 high official. Style name Zhongqia 仲洽, a man of Chang an 長安, now Xi an 西安 in Shaan xi 陝西. He held various central posts such as Chamberlain for Ceremonials (tai chang qing 太常卿).

The Si ku quan shu ti yao 四庫全書提要, “Index to the Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” compares this book with the → Gu jin zhu 古 今注 of → Cui Bao 崔豹 and comes to the conclusion that the contents of the two books are mostly identical and that Ma Gao hardly annotated or expanded Cui Bao’s work. Moreover, the original Gu jin zhu was lost early, and Tang editors apparently assembled pre-Wei 魏 material and attributed it to Cui Bao, thus turning the received Gu jin zhu itself into a forgery. The Zhong hua gu jin zhu also contains a lot of material resembling the two extant juan of the → Su E yan yi 蘇 鶚演義. LSZ cites the Zhong hua gu jin zhu in his bibliographical sections and the main text but erroneously attributes it to → Fu hou 伏侯. Zhong Hui 鍾會 (225-264) [1] Official of the state of Wei 魏 during the Three Kingdoms period. Style name Shiji 士季. A man of Chang she 長社 in Ying chuan 颍川, in the east of present-day Chang ge 長葛 in He nan 河南. His official posts included that of Minister of Education (si tu 司徒). Together with Deng Ai 鄧艾, he defeated the state of Shu 蜀. Zhong Hui was widely learned and compiled a Dao lun 道 論, “Treatise on the Dao,” in 20 chapters that is lost today.

Zhong Jun 終軍 (died 113 BCE) [1] Western Han 漢 official. Style name Ziyun 子雲. A man of Ji nan 濟南, in the west of present-day Zhang qiu 章丘 in Shan dong 山東, usually considered a widely knowledgable person. LSZ mentions his studies on zhong shu 鼨鼠 in the introduction to the quadrupeds section of the BCGM. Zhong Kui 中馗 → Zhong Kui 鍾馗 Zhong Kui 鍾馗 A legendary spirit who is believed to fight evil by wielding a hammer to beat demons. Sometimes written Zhong Kui 中馗. Many legends are associated with
672 him, and LSZ refers to such legends from the → Yi shi 逸史 and also cites a → Zhong kui zhuan 鍾馗傳. Pharmaceutical drugs associated to the spirit Zhong Kui in some way or the other are called zhong kui 鍾馗 or zhong kui 中馗: Firstly, ancient paintings of the image of Zhong Kui are listed in the BCGM within the genre “material objects” (qi wu 器物) and serve as pharmaceutical substances. Secondly, according to LSZ, a drug called zhong kui originally belonged to the plant category “fungi” (jun 菌), with a physical appearance resembling a mallet. Another name for mallet is zhong kui 終葵, a homophone with the name of the fungus. Given the similarity of names and physical appearance, the spirit Zhong Kui evolved in later times, holding a hammer to smash demons. LSZ refers to him as Zhong Kui 鍾馗 [3] and Zhong Kui 中馗 [2]. Zhong Kui zhuan 鍾馗傳; “The Legend of Zhong Kui” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty story about → Zhong Kui 鍾馗. FE Qian qing tang shu mu 千頃堂書目, “Catalogue of the Thousand Acre Hall.” 1 juan. Written by Shen Meibo 沈梅伯.

Although entitled “cultivating trees,” the book really is about cultivation methods for all kinds of agricultural products. The first juan provides an agricultural calendar, the second is devoted to the cultivation of beans, wheat, bamboo and trees, and the last to flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Various editions from Qing 清 and Ming times are preserved, which sometimes attribute the book to Yu Zongben or erroneously to the Tang 唐 writer Guo Tuotuo 郭橐駝. LSZ cites the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text, but all the material he uses has to do with trees. In comparison, the Nong zheng quan shu 農政全書, “Complete Book on Agricultural Administration,” of LSZ’s contemporary Xu Guangqi 徐光啟 cites the Zhong shu shu of Yu Zhenmu as well, but the material quoted there is not limited to trees but also includes information on various other plants. Zhong Si 仲思 [1] Name of an immortal of the Northern Qi 齊 period. LSZ mentions his name in connection with zhong si zao 仲思棗, a date that was named after him, because, according to the → Kai bao ben cao 開寶本草, Zhong Si was the first to harvest it. Zhong sou 仲叟, “Old Man Zhong” [1] Northern Song 宋 person, a neighbor of → Li Tian 李畋. Personal name unknown. According to the → Gai wen lu 該聞錄, when the old man’s house was bewitched by mountain goblins, Li Tian suggested that he burned several dozens of fire crackers to chase them away.

He held high posts in the central government and even rose to the post of Grand Councilor of the Left (zuo cheng xiang 左丞相) at the end of the chun xi 淳熙 reign period (1174-1189). He wrote as many as 81 books, which were later collected into the Yi guo Zhou Wenzhong gong quan ji 益國周文忠公全集, “Complete Collection of Duke Zhou Wenzhong from the State of Yi.” LSZ lists a→ Zhou Bida ji 周必大集 in his bibliography.

Zhou Bitai 周必太 → Zhou Bida 周必大 Zhou Caochuang 周草窗 → Zhou Mi 周密 Zhou chanshi 周禪師 → Dazhi chanshi 大智禪師 Zhou chong 周崈 → Zhou chong ban yuan 周崈班縁 Zhou chong ban yuan 周崈班縁, “Zhou the Officer of the Veneration Group” Song 宋 dynasty official, personal name unknown. He once suffered from a knife wound after capturing a bandit, but was cured by the soldier → Li Gao 李高 who applied a “powder with purple gold” (zi jin san 紫金散). LSZ cites this story from the → Ming yi lu 名醫錄 in SE jiang zhen xiang 降真香 but erroneously omits the two characters ban yuan 班縁, thus rendering the official’s title Zhou chong 周崈 [1]. Chong ban yuan 崈班緣 (AV chong ban yuan 崇班縁) was a Song naval officer’s title. Zhou Chu 周處 (c. 236-297) [5] Official of Wu 吳 during the Three Kingdoms period and Western Jin 晉. Style name Ziyin 子隱, a man of Yang yi 陽羡 in Yi xing 義興, now in the south of Yi xing 宜興 in Jiang su 江蘇. Tradition has it that he rampaged his home area during his youth but changed abruptly later, rising to the ranks of governor (tai shou 太守) of Xin ping 新平 and General for the Initiation of Power (jian wei jiang jun 建威將軍). Among his works are the Mo yu 默語, “Silent Conversations,” the → Feng tu ji 風土記, frequently cited by LSZ, and the Wu shu 吳書, “History of Wu.”
675 Zhou daguan 周達觀 [4] Yuan 元 dynasty writer. Literary name Caoting yimin 草庭逸民, “Hermit of the Grass Courtyard,” a man of Yong jia 永嘉, now Wen zhou 溫州 in Zhe jiang 浙 江. In 1295 he was sent on an embassy to what the Chinese called Zhen la 真腊, the Khmer empire in present-day Cambodia. He returned in 1297 and recorded what he had seen and heard there to produce the Zhen la feng tu ji 真腊風土記, “Records of Customs and Geographical Surroundings of Zhen la” (→ Zhen la ji 真腊記). Zhou dian xian 周顛仙, “Zhou dian the Immortal” [3] Late Yuan 元, early Ming 明 man from Jian chang 建昌, now Nan cheng 南城 in Jiang xi 江西. His real name is unknown. At the age of 14 he started behaving insanely and left home to go begging in the streets of Nan chang 南昌. Due to his mad (dian 癫) behavior he was called Zhou Dian 周顛. In spite of his eccentricity he is said to have been well-versed in herbal medicine, and in 1393, when the Ming founder Zhu Yuanzhang 朱元璋 (→ Tai zu Gao huang di 太祖高 皇帝) was ill, Zhou sent medicinals that improved Zhu’s condition. Thereupon Zhu wrote Zhou’s biography and had it inscribed on a stele at Lu 廬 mountain. LSZ refers to this inscription as → Zhou Dian xian bei 周顛仙碑. Zhou Dian xian bei 周顛仙碑, “Stone Stele of the Immortal Zhou dian” Ming 明 dynasty inscription on a stone tablet. FE Ming shi yi wen zhi 明史 藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Ming.” AN Zhou Dian xian zhuan 周顛仙傳, “Biography of the Immortal Zhou Dian.” Written by the Ming founder Zhu Yuanzhang 朱元璋 (→ Tai zu Gao huang di 太祖高皇帝) in memory of → Zhou Dian xian 周顛仙, who cured the emperor from a disease. LSZ cites the text in his bibliographical sections and the main text as Zhou Dian xian bei [2] and mentions Zhou Dian xian [1] once more in SE chang pu 菖蒲. The textual material on the ability of gao liang jiang 高良薑 to cure “cold and pain in the heart and spleen” (xin pi leng tong 心脾冷痛) is not found verbatim in the actual stele, there this ability is attributed more generally to a “good, warming medicinal” (wen liang yao 溫良藥) or “good, warming stone” (wen liang shi 溫良石). Zhou ding wang 周定王 (1362? -1425) This is Zhu Xiao 朱橚, a Ming 明 dynasty prince, the fifth son of the Ming founder Zhu Yuanzhang 朱元璋 (→ Tai zu Gao huang di 太祖高皇帝). He was granted the titles Prince of Wu 吳 in 1370 and Prince of Zhou 周 in 1378. Ding 定 is his posthumous name, thus the title Zhou Ding wang. He was the author of a materia dietetica for famine relief, the → Jiu huang ben cao 救荒本草, and headed the compilations of the → Pu ji fang 普濟方 and the → Xiu zhen fang 袖珍方. In the 1555 edition of the Jiu huang ben cao he is falsely identified as his son → Zhou Xian wang 周憲王, a mistake that was taken over by LSZ and Xu Guangqi 徐光啟, author of the Nong zheng quan shu 農政全書, “Complete Book on Agricultural Administration.” The mistake was corrected in the Qing 清 Si ku quan shu ti yao 四庫全書提要, “Index to the Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” and later authors and editors refer the Jiu huang ben cao
676 and the Pu ji fang to Zhou Ding wang again. Note that the old editions of the BCGM still refer to Zhou Xian wang [24], a mistake that was corrected in later editions. Zhou Xian wang’s literary name Chengzhai 誠齋 remained in the Jiu huang ben cao entry of LSZ’s bibliography, however. Zhou gong 周公, “duke of Zhou” [2] This is Ji Dan 姬旦, prime minister (zai fu 宰輔) of early Western Zhou 周, son of King Wen 文 (→ Wen wang 文王), younger brother of King Wu 武. His fief was in Zhou (in the north of present-day Qi shan 岐山 in Shanxi 陕西), hence he was called “Duke of Zhou.” He assisted in setting up Zhou government institutions and structures, put down armed rebellions, and distributed property among the feudal lords. He is said to have authored numerous writings, e.g., some chapters in the Zhou shu 周書, “Documents of Zhou,” and part of the → Shang shu 尚書, namely the Da gao 大誥, “Great Announcement,” the Kang gao 康誥, “Announcement to [Prince] Kang,” and the → Jiu gao 酒誥. Zhou Gu 周顧 Tang 唐 dynasty imperial physician, fl. during the reign of → Tang Xuan zong 唐玄宗 (r. 712-756). The → Ming huang za lu 明皇雜錄 records one of his case histories, and LSZ takes this over in his main text, referring to Zhou as Zhou Gu [2] and Zhou 周 [1]. Zhou guan 周官 → Zhou li 周禮 Zhou Han gong zhu 周漢公主, “Princess of Zhou and Han” (died 1262) [1] Southern Song 宋 princess, the daughter of Emperor Li zong 理宗 (r. 12241264). In SE gui che niao 鬼車鳥, LSZ informs of a bird with nine heads facing the home of the princess prior to her death. This was regarded as an inauspicious omen.

DC supplemented edition 500. 3 juan (AV 9 juan, 6 juan).The Zhou hou bai yi fang was based upon the → Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘後備急方 of Ge Hong which was amended by Tao to produce the Zhou hou bai yi fang. Tao felt that Ge Hong’s work still had deficiencies and did not take full benefit of its sources. Thus he selected material to compensate for the insufficiencies of the work. He cut out seven chapters, added 22 chapters to make it 101 in all (this number being a Buddhist reference), and renamed the book. The original Zhou hou bai yi fang is now lost, but it was frequently quoted in Tang 唐 and Song 宋 works. The → ZLBC makes a distinction between the Bai yi fang 百一方, “101 Recipes,” (i.e. the Zhou hou bai yi fang) and the Zhou hou fang 肘後方, “Recipes to Be Kept Close at Hand,” (i.e. the Zhou hou bei ji fang) in its many quotations, but → Su Song 蘇頌 in his → TJBC erroneously refers the Bai yi fang to Ge Hong. The Jin 金
677 author Yang Yongdao 楊用道 obtained an antique edition of the Zhou hou bai yi fang and added the ZLBC material to it to produce the Fu guan zhou hou fang 附廣肘後方, “Expanded Recipes to Be Kept Close at Hand,” in 8 juan. LSZ never saw Yang’s book and consequently knew nothing of its history. Therefore he attributes the book to Ge Hong, citing it as Zhou hou bai yi fang [4] in his bibliographical sections and the main text. In the main text there are various references to a Bai yi fang [22], labeled with Tao’s literary name Tao Yinju 陶隱居 once and incorrectly with some form of Ge’s name twice.

The original book is lost, but a great part of the text is preserved in a number of Tang 唐 and Song 宋 medical works, especially the → ZLBC, which refers to the text as Zhou hou fang. → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景 took over the essential parts of the book and supplemented it to produce his → Zhou hou bai yi fang 肘後百一方. LSZ was apparently unaware of the textual history of the work and frequently mistook the abbreviation Zhou hou fang in his sources for the Zhou hou bai yi fang, which, following the error of books like the → TJBC, he referred to Ge Hong. Thus he does not list the Zhou hou bei ji fang in his bibliographical sections but only a Zhou hou bai yi fang by Ge Hong. In the main text, he often quotes the work from the ZLBC, referring to it as Zhou hou bei ji fang [1], but mostly as Zhou hou fang [483] or Zhou hou 肘 後 [169], Ji fang 急方, “Emergency Recipes,” Ge Hong fang 葛洪方, “Recipes of Ge Hong.” [7], and as Ge shi fang 葛氏方, “Recipes of Mr. Ge,” [8]. He also cites material by the name of the author alone, as Ge Hong [45], Ge shi 葛氏, “Mr. Ge,” [9], or Ge Zhichuan 葛稚川 [2]. There are 13 general references to a → Bei ji fang 備急方, but this designation might refer to other books as well. In addition, LSZ erroneously refers the abbreviation → Bai yi fang 百一方 [2] to Ge Hong or Ge Zhichuan, and material labeled → De xiao fang 得效方 [1] of Tao Yinju 陶隱居 (that is, Tao Hongjing) or → Zhou hou liang fang 肘後良方 [1] is all taken from the Zhou hou bei ji fang. Zhou hou fang 肘後方 → Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘後備急方 Zhou hou liang fang 肘後良方, “Good recipes to Be Kept Close at Hand” [1] This is an incorrect name for the Zhou hou fang 肘後方, “Recipes to Be Kept Close at Hand,” (→ Zhou hou bei ji fang 肘後備急方). The recipe quoted can be
678 found in the → TJBC as from the Zhou hou fang, which LSZ renders Zhou hou liang fang. There was no separate book of that name. Zhou hou yao fang 肘後要方, “Essential recipes to Be Kept Close at Hand” [1] This is an incorrect name for the → Zhou hou bai yi fang 肘後百一方. The material LSZ uses is cited in the → ZLBC as from the Bai yi fang 百一方, “101 Recipes,” that is, the Zhou hou bai yi fang. There was no separate book of the name Zhou hou yao fang. Zhou ji 粥記, “records of Congee” [1] Northern Song 宋 essay. EE Keshan ji 柯山集, “Collection of [Zhang] Keshan.” Written by → Zhang Lei 張耒. The essay describes the benefits of eating congee, and LSZ cites it in the main text of the BCGM. Zhou Jing wang 周景王 (died 520 BCE) [1] This is Ji Gui 姬貴, ruler of Eastern Zhou 周, r. 544-520. In SE gu wen qian 古文 錢, LSZ informs us that large coins were first cast during his time. Zhou Junchao 周君巢 (fl. 785-805) Tang 唐 dynasty official. Literary name Songyang zi 嵩陽子, “Master of Song yang.” He held at least one minor government post and had an interest in medicine and practices for nurturing life (yang sheng 養生). Author of the → Wei ling xian zhuan 威靈仙傳. The → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 of → Chen Cangqi 陳藏 器 frequently quotes his discussions on pharmaceutical substances. LSZ refers to him as Zhou Junchao [1] and as Songyang zi [7]. Zhou li 周禮, “rites of Zhou” Confucian classic, one of the three ritual classics. AN originally Zhou guan 周官, “The Offices of Zhou.” The text is a collection of material on the Zhou 周 royal bureaucracy and the institutions of the individual states, supplemented by Confucian ideas on statecraft. The old text (gu wen 古文) tradition attributed the text to the Duke of Zhou (→ Zhou gong 周公) of early Western Zhou, while the new text (jin wen 今文) tradition dated it to the Warring States period. Some even considered it a Western Han 漢 forgery by Liu Xin 劉歆, who changed the original name to Zhou li. By comparison of Zhou bronze inscriptions with the political and economical institutions and the scholarly thought reflected in the text, modern scholarship agrees that the Zhou li is a Warring States work. The text is divided into six sections on individual ministries and their heads: the Minister of State in the Heavenly Office (tian guan zhong zai 天官冢宰), the Minister of Education in the Office of Earth (di guan si tu, 地官司徒), the Minister of Rites in the Spring Office (chun guan zong bo 春官宗伯), the Minister of War in the Summer Office (xia guan si ma 夏官司馬), the Minister of Justice in the Autumn Office (qiu guan si kou 秋官司寇), and the Minister of Works in the Winter Office (dong guan si kong 冬官司空). The latter text was lost early, and the → Kao gong ji 考工記 was added as a substitution in its place. Apart from the Kao gong ji [9], LSZ also cites the entire text as Zhou li [45] and as Zhou guan [10]. In his bibliographical sections he lists a commentated version
679 of the text as → Zhou li zhu shu 周禮注疏 [1], and in the main text cites some annotations from it. Zhou li zhu 周禮注 → Zhou li zhu shu 周禮注疏 Zhou li zhu shu 周禮注疏, “annotations and Commentary to the Zhou li” Commentary on the → Zhou li 周禮, a combined edition of the Eastern Han 漢 Zhou li zhu 周禮注, “Annotations to the Zhou li,” by → Zheng Xuan 鄭玄 and the Tang 唐 Zhou li yi shu 周禮義疏, “Commentary on Meanings of the Zhou li,” by Jia Gongyan 賈公彥. 42 juan. This seems to be the version of the Zhou li LSZ used. He lists the work as Zhou li zhu shu [1] in his bibliographical sections and cites commentaries from it in the main text as Zhou li zhu [3] or as Zheng Xuan zhu 鄭玄注, “Zheng Xuan’s Annotations,” [2]. Zhou Liangcai 周良采 → Zhou Wencai 周文采 Zhou Liheng 周離亨 [1] Northern Song 宋 official, held various posts at court. According to the → Bo zhai bian 泊宅編, he once happened to cure the illness of a colleague using a medication including yan hu suo 延胡索. Zhou Mi 周密 (1232-c. 1298) Southern Song 宋 scholar. Style name Gongjin 公謹, literary name Caochuang 草窗, “Grass Window,” and others. His ancestral home was in Ji nan 濟南 in present-day Shan dong 山東 but his family later moved to Wu xing 吳興, now Hu zhou 湖州 in Zhe jiang 浙江. He maintained friendly relationships to many people, collected books, and was an accomplished poet, writer, painter and calligrapher. His specialty were Song period ancecdotes. Zhou was the author of the Wu lin jiu shi 武林舊事, “Old Matters from Wu lin,” the Caochuang yun yu 草窗韻語, “Rhymed Phrases of [Zhou] Caochuang,” the → Qi dong ye yu 齊東 野語, the → Gui xin za zhi 癸辛雜識, the → Zhi ya tang za chao 志雅堂雜鈔, the → Hao ran zhai ri chao 浩然齋日鈔, and other books. The last four were used by LSZ, who often does not cite the individual texts explicitly but refers to the author’s name rather as Zhou Mi [19], Zhou Caochuang 周草窗 [1], or Caochuang [1]. Zhou Mu wang 周穆王 (died 922 BCE) [1] This is Ji Man 姬滿, ruler of Western Zhou 周, r. 976-922 BCE. According to the → Mu tian zi zhuan 穆天子傳, he once toured his realm with his chariot being drawn by eight steeds on its westward journey. LSZ cites some information on the grass used by King Mu to feed the eight steeds in SE shi long cao 石龍芻. Zhou nan 周南 → Shi jing 詩經 Zhou nan shi 周南詩 → Shi jing 詩經 Zhou riyong 周日用 [1] Probably a Song 宋 dynasty author, but details about his life are lacking. The Jun zhai du shu zhi 郡齋讀書志, “Catalogue of Books Read at the Prefectural Study,” refers to annotations to the → Bo wu zhi 博物志 by Zhou Riyong, while the Wen xian tong kao 文獻通考, “Comprehensive Study of Literary and Documen-
680 tary Sources,” lists an annotated version of the Bo wu zhi in 10 juan by authors called Zhou 周 and Lu 盧. There are, in fact, notes by Zhou Riyong in the presently circulating Bo wu zhi, and LSZ cites these in one place, although he does not list an annotated edition by Zhou and Lu in his bibliographical sections. Zhou Shihou 周師厚 Northern Song 宋 official. Style name Dunfu 敦夫, a man of Yin xian 鄞縣, now Shao xing 紹興 in Zhe jiang 浙江, jin shi 1053. He held office as a Tax Transport Assistant (zhuan yun pan guan 轉運判官) The Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises,” makes him the author of the → Luo yang hua mu ji 洛陽花木記. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections but mistakenly calls the author Zhou Xu 周敘 [1]. Zhou Shouzhen 周守真 [1] Song 宋 dynasty Daoist. According to the → Yijian zhi 夷堅志, he cured → Tang Jing 唐靖 of a “jealousy essence sore” (du jing chuang 妬精瘡). LSZ mentions him in SE he li le 訶黎勒. Zhou shu 周書 → Yi Zhou shu 逸周書 Zhou song 周頌 → Shi jing 詩經 Zhou tai gong 周太公 → Jiang tai gong 姜太公 Zhou tui guan 周推官, “Judge Zhou” [1] Song 宋 dynasty official. Personal name unknown. A man of Lin chuan 臨川. LSZ, in SE zhu sha 朱砂, reports how he fell ill and after ingesting cinnabar and drugs of hot thermo-quality was treated by the → Yang yi lao Zhu 瘍醫老祝. Zhou Wencai 周文采 Ming 明 dynasty physician, mistakenly called Zhou Liangcai 周良采 [2] by LSZ. Fl. late 15th century, further details about his life are unavailable. He held a local medical office and was the author of the → Yi fang xuan yao 醫方選要 and the → Wai ke ji yan fang 外科集驗方, both compiled at princely orders. Zhou Xian wang 周憲王 (1379-1439) This is Zhu Youdun 朱有燉, a Ming 明 dynasty prince, grandson of the Ming founder Zhu Yuanzhang 朱元璋 (→ Tai zu Gao huang di 太祖高皇帝) and the eldest son of → Zhou Ding wang 周定王. Literary name Chengzhai 誠齋, “Studio of Sincerity.” LSZ, following a mistake in a preface by Lu Jian 陸柬 in the 1555 edition of the → Jiu huang ben cao 救荒本草, makes Zhou Xian wang [24] and not his father the author of the Jiu huang ben cao and the → Pu ji fang 普 濟方. This mistake was corrected in the Qing 清 Si ku quan shu ti yao 四庫全書 提要, “Index to the Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature,” and later authors and editors refer the Jiu huang ben cao and the Pu ji fang to Zhou Ding wang again. But even though the name of Zhou Xian wang was changed in these editions, his literary name Chengzhai [1] remained in the Jiu huang ben cao entry of LSZ’s bibliography, thus incorrectly making Chengzhai the literary name of Zhou Ding wang.
681 Zhou Xingsi 周興嗣 (died 521) [1] Liang 梁 dynasty official. His ancestral home was Chen jun xiang 陳郡項, now Shen qiu 沈丘 in Hen nan 河南, but his family lived in Gu shu 姑熟 (present-day Dang tu 當涂 in An hui 安徽). Zhou was widely learned and an accomplished writer. The → Liang shu 梁書 has his biography. In his later years he suffered from ulcers and epidemic disease. According to the → Ben cao shi yi 本 草拾遺, he enjoyed eating alligator meat. Once an alligator spat at him, and he developed malign sores. LSZ cites this in SE tuo long 鼉龍. Zhou Xu 周敘 → Zhou Shihou 周師厚 Zhou yi 周顗 (269-322) [1] Jin 晉 dynasty high official. Style name Boren 伯仁, a man of An cheng 安成 in Ru nan 汝南, now Ru nan in Hen nan 河南. He served in various posts and rose to be Left Vice Director of the Imperial Secretariat (shang shu zuo pu ye 尚 書左僕射). According to his biography in the → Jin shu 晉書, he was addicted to consuming large amounts of wine. LSZ mentions this in SE jiu 酒. Zhou yi 周易, “The Zhou Book of Changes” Book on divination, one of the Confucian classics, widely known as the Yi jing 易經,“Book of Changes.” Traditionally attributed to Zhou 周 dynasty authors. The text is divided into two parts, the classic (jing 經) and commentaries (zhuan 傳). The classic part explains the use of 64 hexagrams (gua 卦) comprised of 384 lines (yao 爻) in divination, while the commentaries provide interpretations to the classic. The commentaries are among the earliest Chinese philosophical works and were extremely important for the later development of Confucian ideas. There were many commentaries written by later authors. The versions still extant today include the → Yi jing zhu shu 易經注疏 of → Wang Bi 王弼, the Jin 晉 commentary of Han Kangbo 韓康伯, or the Tang 唐 one by Li Dingzuo 李鼎祚. LSZ refers to the text as Zhou yi [3], as Yi jing [1], or simply as Yi 易, “Changes,” [7]. He also mentions the → Tuan xiang yao ci 彖象繇辭 [1] aspects of the Zhou yi in the → MYBL entry in his bibliographical sections, referring these to → Wen wang 文王 and → Kong zi 孔子. Zhou yi tong gua yan 周易通卦驗, “Comprehensive Examination of the Trigrams in the Zhou yi” Han 漢 dynasty apocryphal book (→ Wei shu 緯書), a commentary on the → Zhou yi 周易. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” AN Yi wei tong gua yan 易緯通卦驗, “Comprehensive Examination of the Trigrams in the Yi [jing] Apocrypha.” Anonymous author, annotations attributed to → Zheng Xuan 鄭玄. 2 juan. The original book is lost, but fragments are preserved in the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽, the → Shuo fu 説郛, and other books. These fragments were assembled in the Yong le da dian 永樂大典, “Great Encyclopedia of the Yong le Reign Period,” to reconstruct the text. LSZ probably cites second hand from earlier encyclopedias, referring to the book as Zhou yi tong gua yan [1], as Yi tong gua yan 易通卦驗, “Comprehensive Examination of the Trigrams in the Yi [jing],” [3] and as Yi tong gua yan xuan tu 易通卦驗玄圖, “Profound Illustrations to the Comprehensive Examination of
682 the Trigrams in the Yi [jing],” [1]. LSZ mostly used the work for descriptions of the untypical seasonal growth of plants. Zhou ying 周應 Northern Song 宋 medical official. Details about his life are lacking, but he apparently held a medical post during the huang you 皇祐 reign period (1049-1053). In 1051 he produced the → Jian yao ji zhong fang 簡要濟衆方 at imperial orders. Zhou zi 周子, “Master Zhou” (1017-1073) [2] Designation for Zhou Dunyi 周敦頤, the famous Northern Song 宋 philosopher. Style name Maoshu 茂叔, also known as Lianxi xiansheng 濂溪先生, “Gentleman of Lian xi.” A man of Ying dao 營道 in Dao zhou 道州, now Dao xian 道縣 in Hu nan 湖南. Author of the Tai ji tu shuo 太極圖説, “Explanation of the Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate,” the Tong shu 通書, “Penetrating the Book of Changes,” and other books. His writings were later assembled into the Zhou zi quan shu 周子全書, “Complete Collection of Books by Master Zhou.” LSZ does not list any of Zhou’s books in his bibliography but cites statements from the Tai ji tu shuo in the main text. Zhu Chen 朱齔 [1] Tang 唐 dynasty person from Mei xian 郿縣 in present-day Shaan xi 陝西. Originally a woman, she transformed into a male in 886. LSZ cites this in SE ren gui 人傀. Zhu Chengyan 朱成言 Southern Song 宋 person, a first-ranking candidate (jie yuan 解元) in the provincial imperial exams. Further details about his life are unavailable. The → Bai yi xuan fang 百一選方 lists a recipe transmitted by him for treating “intestinal wind” (chang feng 腸風). This was used by Zhu Chengyan himself, by his elder brother Ziyun 子雲, and by → Lu Ziji 陸子楫 with extraordinary effects. → Peng Dabian 彭大辯 recommended the recipe as highly effective as well. The recipe is reproduced in the → Pu ji fang 普濟方, which calls it “Recipe that Investigates the Origins” (jiu yuan fang 究原方) and “Black Rhinocerous Recipe” (wu xi fang 烏犀方) and gives the Bai yi xuan fang as its source. LSZ misunderstands this and names the → Jiu yuan fang 究原方 as his source in SE da dou chi 大豆豉. Adding to this mistake, he writes Zhu Chengyan’s name Zhu Yuancheng 朱元成 [1], and his elder brother (xiong 兄) is turned into his nephew (zhi 侄). Zhu danxi 朱丹溪 → Zhu Zhenheng 朱震亨 Zhu dou tie 煮豆帖, “Model Calligraphy on Cooking Beans” [1] Song 宋 period model calligraphy by → Huang Tingjian 黃庭堅. Its contents are recorded in the → Chuo geng lu 輟耕錄 and cited by LSZ in SE guan zhong 貫眾. Zhu duanzhang 朱端章 [3] Southern Song 宋 official. A man of Chang le 長樂 in Fu jian 福建. During the chun xi 淳熙 reign period (1174-1189) he served in the army in Jiang xi 江西 and was officially dispatched to inquire about the sufferings of the people. In his
683 leisure time he collected medical recipes. When he was summoned by the prefecture to attend to other matters, Xu Anguo 徐安國 expanded his collection of recipes to create the → Wei sheng jia bao fang 衛生家寶方. He also wrote a Wei sheng jia bao chan ke fang 衛生家寶產科方, “Obstetric Recipes for Protecting Life, Treasured by the Family,” the Wei sheng jia bao tang fang 衛生家寶湯方, “Decoction Recipes for Protecting Life, Treasured by the Family,” and the Wei sheng xiao er fang 衛生小兒方, “Pediatric Recipes for Protecting Life.” LSZ also refers a → Ji yan fang 集驗方 to Zhu, but this is an erroneous attribution of the Lei bian Zhu shi ji yan yi fang 類編朱氏集驗醫方, “Categorized Compilation of the Collected and Proven Medical Recipes of Mr. Zhu,” of Zhu Zuo 朱 佐 (→ Zhu shi 朱氏) to Zhu Duanzhang. Zhu Fazhen 竺法真 (5th century) Liu Song 劉宋 dynasty monk. His ancestors came from India (tian zhu 天竺), thus his ethnicon Zhu 竺. Avoiding the political upheavals during the early xiao jian 孝建 reign period (454-456), Zhu retreated to Luo fu shan 羅浮山 and was therefore able to write the Deng Luo shan shu 登羅山疏, “A Commentary on Climbing Mount Luo,” (→ Luo fu shan shu 羅浮山疏). LSZ refers to Zhu as Zhu Fazhen [3] and erroneously as Zhu Zhen 竺真 [1]. Zhu Fengyi 朱奉議 → Zhu Gong 朱肱 Zhu Fu 朱輔 [3] Southern Song 宋 official. Style name Jigong 季公, a man of Tong xiang 桐鄉, now Tong cheng 桐城 in An hui 桐城. Zhu lived around the qing yuan 慶元 reign period (1195-1200) and held an office in the area of the “five creeks” (wu xi 五溪, cf. → Wu xi ji 五溪記), located in the area of present-day Yuan ling 沅陵 in Hu nan 湖南. He drew upon his experiences there to write the → Xi man cong xiao 溪蠻叢笑. LSZ cites this text but erroneously expands the author’s name to Zhu Fushan 朱輔山. Zhu Fushan 朱輔山 → Zhu Fu 朱輔 Zhu Gong 朱肱 Northern Song 宋 physician. Style name Yizhong 翼中, literary name Wuqiu zi 無求子, “Master Without Desires.” A man of Wu cheng 烏程, now Wu xing 吳 興 in Zhe jiang 浙江, jin shi 1088. He held the offices of Court Gentleman Consultant (feng yi lang 奉議郎) and Auxiliary in the Imperial Archives (zhi mi ge 直秘閣) and was therefore called Zhu Fengyi 朱奉議., “Zhu the Court Consultant.” He was the author of the → Nan yang huo ren shu 南陽活人書 and the Bei shan jiu jing 北山酒經, “Liquor Classic of the Northern Mountain.” LSZ refers to him as Zhu Gong [17] and Zhu Fengyi [1]. Zhu Huan 朱桓 (177-238) [1] General of the state of Wu 吳 during the Three Kingdoms period. Style name Xiumu 休穆, a man of Wu jun 吳郡, now Su zhou 蘇州 in Jiang su 江蘇. According to the → Sou shen ji 搜神記, he had a female servant from the southern “people dropping their heads” (luo tou min 落頭民). At night her head left the
684 body and flew away, and in the morning it returned to its body. LSZ cites this story in SE ren gui 人傀. Zhu Hui’an 朱晦庵 [2] This is the literary name of Zhu Xi 朱熹 (→ Zhu zi 朱子). LSZ cites one sentence from a poem by Zhu Hui’an and also refers directly to a Bing lang shi 檳榔 詩, “Poem on the Betelnut,” of his. This material is all taken from a poem in the → Zhu zi da quan 朱子大全. Zhu Jie 朱節 [1] Northern Song 宋 person. During the early xuan he 宣和 reign period (1119-1125) his wife, aged 41, grew a beard more than a foot long over night. This is recorded in → Xuan zheng lu 宣政錄 and taken over by LSZ in SE ren gui 人傀. Zhu Mu 祝穆 [5] Southern Song 宋 scholar, fl. 1st half of the 13th century. Also called Bing 丙, style name Hefu 和甫. His ancestors came from Xin an 新安, now Xi xian 歙 縣 in An hui 安徽 but later moved to Chong an 崇安 in present-day Fu jian 福建. As a youth, along with his younger brother, he studied with Zhu Xi 朱熹 (→ Zhu zi 朱子), with whom he was related through the female family line. He lived in seclusion and was the author of the → Fang yu sheng lan 方輿勝覽 and the literary encyclopedia → Shi wen lei ju 事文類聚. Zhu pu 竹譜, “Treatise on Bamboo” [4] Jin 晉 dynasty specialized treatise on bamboo, the first of its kind. FE Jiu Tang shu jing ji zhi 舊唐書經籍志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the Old History of the Tang.” Written by → Dai Kaizhi 戴凱之. 1 juan. The text records 70 varieties of bamboo. It is composed in the form of four character rhymes, with explanatory notes added.
[2] Probably an erroneous designation for the → Sun pu 筍譜. See bibliography of the BCGM. Attributed to the monk → Zanning 贊寧 , but Zanning actually wrote a Sun pu, still extant, and not a Zhu pu. There was a Zhu pu by the Song monk Huichong 惠崇, but it is lost, and there is no way to compare it with the fragment cited in the BCGM. Zhu shi 祝氏 → Lu Zhizhu 陸之柷 Zhu shi 庶氏, “Gentleman for Fumigation” [3] Official post recorded in the Minister of Justice in the Autumn Office (qiu guan si kou 秋官司寇) section of the → Zhou li 周禮. Responsible for eliminating poisonous gu 蠱. Zhu shi 朱氏, “Mr. Zhu” [60] This might be a reference either to → Zhu Duanzhang 朱端章 or to Zhu Zuo 朱佐, a Southern Song 宋 physician. Zhu Zuo’s style name was Junfu 君輔, he was a man of Xiang lu 湘麓, now Chang sha 長沙 in Hu nan 湖南, and the author of the Lei bian Zhu shi ji yan yi fang 類編朱氏集驗醫方, “Categorized Compilation of the Collected and Proven Medical Recipes of Mr. Zhu,” (→ Ji
685 yan fang 集驗方 ). LSZ apparently got confused about the identity of Mr. Zhu and incorrectly refers the Ji yan fang to Zhu Duanzhang. Zhu shi fang 朱氏方 → Ji yan fang 集驗方 Zhu shi ji yan 朱氏集驗 → Ji yan fang 集驗方 Zhu shi ji yan fang 朱氏集驗方 → Ji yan fang 集驗方 Zhu shi jing yan fang 朱氏經驗方 → Ji yan fang 集驗方 Zhu Shouren 朱守仁 [2] Jin 金 to Yuan 元 period person. A man of Wu jin 武進 in Chang zhou 常州, now part of Jiang su 江蘇. He possessed a recipe to cure scrofula. LSZ cites this twice in his main text, apparently regarding the two books as one, gives the → Huo fa ji yao 活法機要 as his source in SE jia su 假蘇 and the → Bing ji qi yi bao ming ji 病機氣宜保命集 in SE qiu yin 蚯蚓. Today, this recipe is listed only in a text called Su wen yuan qi wu xing ji kao 素問元氣五行稽考, “Textual Research on Original Qi and the Five Phases in the Su wen,” that is attached to some editions of the Bing ji qi yi bao ming ji. Zhu Song 朱頌 → Zhu Yang 朱崸 Zhu Wengong 朱文公 → Zhu zi 朱子 Zhu wen xuan 注文選 → Wen xuan 文選 Zhu wu bu 主物簿 → Tian xuan zhu wu bu 天玄主物簿 Zhu xiu cai 朱秀才, “Cultivated Talent Zhu” [1] Ming 明 dynasty scholar. A man of Yan zhou 兗州, further details unavailable. He is said to have obtained a recipe by praying to the heavenly spirits, which eventually cured him from an eye affliction. LSZ, in SE xiao shi 消石, cites this story from the Zhang Sanfeng xian fang 張三仹仙方, “Immortals’ Recipes of Zhang Sanfeng,” (→ Xian chuan fang 仙傳方 ), but that text does not record such an event. Zhu Xuan 竺暄 [1] Tang 唐 or pre-Tang person. Details about his life are unavailable. Author of a → Shi jing 食經 in 4 juan and one in 10 juan. Zhu yang 朱崸 Song 宋 dynasty official in charge of Sui zhou 隨州. Details about his life are unavailable. Once he instructed the people to prepare dishes of large beans (da dou 大豆) in order to comply with the Daoist avoidance of cereals. Also, he had stone inscriptions engraved at the Tai ping xing guo 太平興國 temple in the Da bie 大別 mountain range. The → Nong shu 農書 records these stories, and LSZ cites them in SE da dou 大豆, erroneously writing Zhu’s name Zhu Song 朱頌 [1]. Zhu ying 朱應 [2] Man of the State of Wu 吳 during the Three Kingdoms period. In 226 he was sent as an envoy to various Southeast Asian countries and wrote the → Fu nan ji 扶南記, which is based upon his experiences there.
686 Zhu yiweng 銖衣翁 [1] Ming 明 dynasty person, fl. during the jia jing 嘉靖 reign period (1522-1567). He once presented a “yellow crane elixir” (huang he dan 黃鶴丹) to → Han Mao 韓 at the Yellow Crane Tower (huang he lou 黃鶴樓). The recipe is listed in the → Han shi yi tong 韓氏醫通 and taken over by LSZ in SE sha cao 莎草. Zhu yuancheng 朱元成 → Zhu Chengyan 朱成言 Zhu Zhen 竺真 → Zhu Fazhen 竺法真 Zhu zheng bian yi 諸證辨疑, “distinguishing doubtful Points about all disease Signs” [6] Comprehensive clinical text. FE Wan juan tang shu mu 萬卷堂書目, “Catalogue of the Hall of Ten-thousand Volumes.” Written by → Wu Qiu 吳球. DC 16th century. 4 juan (AV 5 juan, 6 juan). There are discrepancies in the contents of the extant editions. The book discusses harm caused by cold (shang han 傷寒), miscellaneous diseases, and women’s and children’s diseases along with their differentiation, treatment methods, and the application of pharmaceuticals. It includes many new, personal views of the author himself. The book was rare but LSZ apparently was able to use the original text. Zhu Zhenheng 朱震亨 (1282-1358) Yuan 元 dynasty medical expert, one of the major figures of the Song-Jin-Yuan 宋金元 medical currents. Style name Yanxiu 彥修, literary name Danxi 丹溪, “Red Creek,” after a small stream near where he lived. Also called Danxi xiansheng 丹溪先生, “Red Creek Gentleman,” by his students. A man of Yi wu 義 烏 in Wu zhou 婺州, now part of Zhe jiang 浙江. He studied medicine with Luo Zhiti 羅知悌 (→ Luo Taiwu 羅太無) and went on to immerse himself into the teachings of → Liu Wansu 劉完素, → Zhang Congzheng 張從正, and → Li Gao 李杲, which he expanded with his own ideas. Books by Zhu mentioned in the BCGM include the → Ben cao yan yi bu yi 本草衍義補遺, the → Ge zhi yu lun 格致餘論, the → Ju fang fa hui 局方發揮, the → Shang han bian yi 傷寒 辨疑, the → Jin kui gou xuan 金匱鉤玄, the → Wai ke jing yao xin lun 外科精要 新論, and a → Feng mu wen da 風木問答. After Zhu’s death, relatives, disciples, and other followers composed their own works based on his teachings, which they supplemented and labeled with Zhu’s literary name Danxi. Works of this sort cited in the BCGM include the → Danxi zuan yao 丹溪纂要, the → Danxi yi an 丹溪醫案, two editions called → Danxi xin fa 丹溪心法, the → Danxi xin fa fu yu 丹溪心法附餘, a → Danxi huo tao 丹溪活套, and the → Danxi zhai xuan 丹溪摘玄. LSZ refers to Zhu as Zhu Zhenheng [33], Zhenheng 震亨 [216], Danxi [118], Zhu Danxi 朱丹溪 [5], or Yanxiu [1]. Zhu zhenren ling yan pian 朱真人靈驗篇, “Chapter on Numinous Experiences of Zhu the Perfected One” [2] Chapter cited in the Feng ke ji yan ming fang 風科集驗名方, “Famous Collected and Proven Recipes from the [Medical] Discipline Concerned with Wind [Diseases],” from the → Ye ren xian hua 野人閑話. The Ye ren xian hua is an early Song 宋 work, thus the Zhu zhenren ling yan pian probably dates to the Five
687 Dynasties period or before. LSZ cites the same material second hand from the → Pu ji fang 普濟方 and treats the Zhu zhenren ling yan pian as a book title in his bibliographical sections. Zhu Zhong 朱仲 [2] Western Han 漢 legendary Daoist immortal. Tradition has it that he was a disciple of the immortal → Qin Gao 琴髙. An expert in aquatic products, he presented → Han Wu di 漢武帝 with some pearls. Later on, the poet and official → Yan Zhu 嚴助 received some big cowries and the → Xiang bei jing 相貝經 from Zhu Zhong. Zhu Zhongfu 朱仲孚 Yuan 元 or early Ming 明 period person. A man of Wu sheng jun 武勝軍, in the south of present-day Wu sheng 武勝 county in Si chuan 四川. Further details unavailable. According to the → Hai shang fang 海上方, he resorted to mulberry leaves to rinse his eyes because he was suffering from green-blindness. LSZ cites this in SE sang 桑, giving the → Pu ji fang 普濟方 as his source and erroneously writing Zhu’s name Song Zhongfu 宋仲孚 [1]. Zhu zi 朱子, “Master Zhu” (1130-1200) Designation for Zhu Xi 朱熹, the famous Southern Song 宋 philosopher and educationist. Style name Yuanhui 元晦, Zhonghui 仲晦, literary name Hui’an 晦庵, “Dark Hut,” Huiweng 晦翁, “Dark Old Man,” Ziyang 紫陽, “Purple Yang,” posthumous name Wen 文, later known as Zhu Wengong 朱文公, “Zhu the Literary Lord,” or Zhu zi. Originally from Wu yuan 婺源 in Hui zhou 徽州 (now part of Jiang xi 江西), he settled down in Jian yang 建陽 in present-day Fu jian 福建. Jin shi 1148. Zhu Xi held various court posts but was primarily known for his philosophical and literary abilities and his wide-ranging interests in subjects like music, natural science, etc. He was a disciple of Li Dong 李侗 and a fourth-generation disciple of Cheng Hao 程顥 and Cheng Yi 程頤 (→ Cheng zi 程子). Among his many writings are the Chu ci ji shu bian zheng 楚辭集注辨 證, “Investigation of the Collected Annotations to the Chu ci,” (→ Li sao bian zheng 離騷辨證), the Zi zhi tong jian gang mu 資治通鑒綱目, “Outline and Details of the Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Governing,” (→ Tong jian gang mu 通鑒綱目), and other books. Collections of his works include the Hui’an xiansheng Zhu Wengong wen ji 晦庵先生朱文公文集, “Literary Collection of Zhu the Literary Lord, Gentleman Dark Hut,” (→ Zhu zi da quan 朱子大全), the → Hui’an yu lu 晦庵語錄, and others. LSZ refers to Zhu Xi as Zhu zi [6], → Zhu Hui’an 朱晦庵 [2], or as Zhu Wengong [1] but does not always specify which work he is citing. Zhu zi da quan 朱子大全, “Great Compendium of Master Zhu” Southern Song 宋 collection of writings by Zhu Xi 朱熹 (→ Zhu zi 朱子). AN Hui’an xiansheng Zhu Wengong wen ji 晦庵先生朱文公文集, “Literary Collection of Zhu the Literary Lord, Gentleman Dark Hut,” Zhu Wengong wen ji 朱 文公文集, “Literary Collection of Zhu the Literary Lord.” Initially compiled by Zhu Zai 朱在, Zhu Xi’s youngest son, then successively edited and supplemented by others. LSZ lists the work as Zhu zi da quan [1] in his bibliographical sec-
688 tions but does not cite it directly in the main text. He does, however, cite a Bing lang shi 檳榔詩, “Poem on the Betelnut,” [1] and another sentence on bing lang 檳榔, both taken from a poem in the Zhu zi da quan, labeling this material with the name → Zhu Hui’an 朱晦庵 [2]. Whether references to Zhu zi 朱子, “Master Zhu,” [6] or to Zhu Wengong 朱文公 [1] are from this text or from another book by Zhu must be verified for each citation individually. Zhuan 傳, “Commentary” [1] Part of the → Zhou yi 周易, the commentaries on the hexagrams. The → TJBC mentions a Zhuan in a quotation from the → Shi ji 史記 chapter Gui ce zhuan 龜 策傳, “Biographies of Diviners,” and it is the Zhou yi commentaries it is speaking about. LSZ takes this over in SE shi 蓍. Mostly, however, when LSZ writes chuan yun 傳云, this is not a reference to the commentaries of the Zhou yi but a general remark stating “legend has it that….” Zhuan ji 傳記, “Biographies,” “Transmissions” [2] Literary genre. Often texts with actual biographical accounts (also called simply zhuan 傳) but in some cases writings containing information on other things (also called ji zhuan 記傳). For example, the → Meng xi bi tan 夢溪筆談 states: “The [varieties of ] herbs and trees of Nan zhu 南燭 [India] spoken about in ji zhuan and ben cao [texts] are many.” LSZ takes this over but speaks about “zhuan ji and ben cao [texts].” Also, the preface of the → Jia you ben cao 嘉祐本草 states: “Based on zhuan ji [texts] of the kai bao 開寶 reign period.” All these are references to such literature in general, not to specific works by any specific author. Zhuang Jiang 莊姜 [1] Female poet of the Spring and Autumn Period, younger sister of the Marquis of Qi 齊 (→ Qi hou 齊侯 ) and wife of the Marquis of Wei 衛, that is, Wei Zhuang gong 衛莊公, “Lord Zhuang of Wei,” (r. 480-478 BCE). Beautiful but childless and unhappy, Zhuang Jiang, according to the → Shi jing 詩經, was greatly pitied by the people of Wei. LSZ claims that the name Qi nü 齊女, “Lady of Qi,” for cicadae goes back to a saying about Zhuang Jiang’s beauty, rejecting another explanation from the → Gu jin zhu 古今注 , which traces the etymology back to a story about → Qi wang hou 齊王后. Zhuang Zhou 莊周 → Zhuang zi 莊子 Zhuang zi 莊子, “Master Zhuang” (c. 369 to 286 BCE) Zhuang Zhou 莊周 [2], philosopher of the Warring States period. Style name Zi xiu 子休, a man of Meng 蒙 in the state of Song 宋, now part of He nan 河南. He held a minor official post but later started giving lectures and writing. He is attributed the → Zhuang zi 莊子 , which is actually a compilation of material from various periods, not all of it by the historical Zhuang Zhou. Philosophical text. FE Han shu yi wen zhi 漢書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Han.” Originally 52 chapters, of which only 33 survive today in the annotated version of → Guo Xiang 郭象. Of these 33 chapters, 7 inner chapters (nei pian 内篇) are generally thought to be written by Zhuang zi himself, while the remaining outer chapters (wai pian 外篇) and miscellaneous
689 chapters (za pian 雜篇) are probably the work of Zhuang zi’s disciples or later editors. Still, even some of these later chapters may closely reflect the thinking of Zhuang zi himself. The Zhuang zi is famous for its use of parable and simile and for its elaborate stories told to illustrate its philosophical thinking. LSZ frequently cites the entire text as Zhuang zi [33], listing the Guo Xiang annotated edition as his source in the bibliographical sections. He also refers to the Xu Wugui pian 徐無鬼篇, “Chapter about Xu Wugui,” [1], one of the outer chapters of the text. Zhuge Kongming 諸葛孔明 → Zhuge Liang 諸葛亮 Zhuge Liang 諸葛亮 (181-234) High official of Han 漢 and the state of Shu 蜀 during the Three Kingdoms period. Style name Kongming 孔明, a man of Yang du 陽都 in Lang ya 琅琊, in the south of present-day Yi nan 沂南 in Shan dong 山東. The Shu zhi 蜀志, “Records of Shu,” (→ San guo zhi 三國志) has his biography. According to the Liu gong jia hua lu 劉公嘉話錄, “Record of Fine Talks with the Honorable Mr. Liu,” (→ Liu Yuxi jia hua lu 劉禹錫嘉話錄), Zhuge Liang proposed to cultivate turnips, hence the people of Shu called turnips “Zhuge vegetable” (Zhuge cai 諸葛 菜). The → Ben cao shi yi 本草拾遺 lists “Zhuge Liang chives” (Zhuge Liang jiu 諸葛亮韭), and legend has it that this vegetable was cultivated by Zhuge Liang as well. LSZ cites these stories second hand, referring to Zhuge as Zhuge Liang [1], as Zhuge Kongming 諸葛孔明 [1], and as Kongming [1]. Zhuo Wenjun 卓文君 [1] Western Han 漢 person, the daughter of Zhuo Wangsun 卓王孫 and the wife of → Sima Xiangru 司馬相如. A woman of Lin qiong 臨邛, now Qiong lai 邛 崍 in Si chuan 四川. She is portrayed in the biography of Sima Xiangru in the → Shi ji 史記. LSZ cites a statement of hers in SE yu 芋, which is taken from the Huo zhi lie zhuan 貨殖列傳, “Biographies of Profiteers,” in the Shi ji. However, there the statement is attributed to one of her ancestors instead of Zhuo Wenjun herself. Zhuo yi ji 卓異記, “records of Outstanding and Extraordinary Things” [1] Tang 唐 dynasty book. FE Xin Tang shu yi wen zhi 新唐書藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the New History of the Tang.” Written by → Chen Ao 陳翱. Two 1 juan books of this title are listed in the Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song,” one by → Li Ao 李翱 and one by Chen Han 陳翰, both names probably textual errors. The book records great events of the Tang court. LSZ lists a Zhuo yi ji in his bibliographical sections but there is no direct reference to it in his main text. Zhuru zi 朱孺子, “Master Zhuru” [2] Daoist immortal from the State of Wu 吳 during the Three Kingdoms period. He is said to have been a man of An gu 安固 in Yong jia 永嘉, now Wen zhou 温 州 in Zhe jiang 浙江. According to legend, he cultivated the Dao in the remote mountains and collected chrysanthemum (ju hua 菊花) atractylodes (zhu 术) and solomon’s seal (huang jing 黃精) to consume preparations made from these
690 substances. Later he took the root of gou qi 枸杞, which enabled him to fly and achieve the Dao. The → Zhen gao 真誥 and the → Xu xian zhuan 續仙傳 record events of his life, which LSZ takes over. Zi 孜 → Chen Zi 陳孜 Zi gong yu nü 紫宮玉女, “Jade Girl of the Purple Palace” [1] Daoist deity. The → Pu ji fang 普濟方 cites a “secret technique of the jade girl of the purple palace” (zi gong yu nü mi fa 紫宮玉女秘法) to transform a woman into a man, but the origin of this material is unclear. The zi gong yu nü mi fa quoted in the Xue shi yi an 薛氏醫案, “Medical Cases of Mr. Xue,” of → Xue Ji 薛己 is identical with material quoted in the → ZLBC from the → Fang shi jing 房室 經. LSZ takes over the ZLBC fragment in SE gong nu xian 弓弩弦 but adds the name Zi gong yu nü to the original text. Zi lin 字林, “Forest of Characters” [9] Lost Jin 晉 dynasty lexicographical text. Written by → Lü Chen 呂忱. The text is based on the → Shuo wen jie zi 説文解字 and is divided into 540 parts with 12,824 characters, thus supplementing the original text with many additional characters. Before Tang 唐 times, the work was of equal authority as the Shuo wen jie zi but was subsequently lost. Later dictionaries and anthologies such as the → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 and the → Ce fu yuan gui 冊府元龜 quote the text extensively. LSZ lists the book in his bibliographical sections and cites it second hand from various sources in his main text. Zi ling yuan jun zhuan 紫靈元君傳, “Biography of the Original Sovereign of the Purple Numinosity” Fictitious biography. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. The ZLBC cites two recipes from a Zi ling yuan jun Nan yue furen nei chuan 紫靈元君南嶽夫人内傳, “Esoteric Transmission by the Lady of Nan yue, the Original Sovereign of the Purple Numinosity,” the Zi ling yuan jun 紫靈元君 and Nan yue furen 南嶽夫 人 being one and the same person (→ Wei furen 魏夫人). This designation was mistakenly interpolated into the bibliographical sections of the ZLBC by Song 宋 editors, who list both a Zi ling yuan jun zhuan and a Nan yue furen zhuan 南 嶽夫人傳, “Biography of the Lady of Nan yue.” LSZ, following the ZLBC, cites a Zi ling yuan jun zhuan [1] and a → Nan yue Wei furen zhuan 南岳魏夫人傳 in his bibliography. He also cites a Nan yue furen zi ling Wei yuan jun fang 南岳夫人 紫靈魏元君方, “Recipe of the Lady of Nan yue, the Original Sovereign Wei of the Purple Numinosity,” [1] in his main text, and there is another reference to a longevity pill attributed to Wei yuan jun 魏元君, which apparently also belongs to this tradition. Zi mu lu 子母錄 → Zi mu mi lu 子母秘錄 Zi mu mi lu 子母秘錄, “Secret records about Children and Mothers” Lost Tang 唐 dynasty collection of obstetric and pediatric recipes. FE Tong zhi yi wen lüe 通志藝文略, “Brief Bibliography of the Comprehensive Treatises,” with → Xu Renze 許仁則 as the author; Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song,” with an otherwise unknown →
691 Zhang Jie 張杰 as the author. LSZ accepts the latter assignment. Both authors were Tang 唐 figures. 10 juan. Many recipes from the book are preserved in the → ZLBC, and LSZ cites these second hand, referring to the book as Zi mu mi lu [111], Mi lu 秘錄, “Secret Records,” [13], Zi mu mi lu fang 子母秘錄方, “Recipes from the Secret Records about Children and Mothers,” [1], Zi mu lu 子母 錄, “Records of Children and Mothers,” [1], as Mi lu fang 秘錄方, “Recipes from the Secret Records,” [1], and by the name of the author alone as Zhang Jie [1]. Zi mu mi lu fang 子母秘錄方 → Zi mu mi lu 子母秘錄 Zi ran lun 自然論, “discourse on Nature” [2] Lost, anonymous text. Cited in the → Pi ya 埤雅, so it must be a Song 宋 or pre-Song text. LSZ cites the work second hand and lists it as a separate book in his bibliographical sections. Zi sheng jing 資生經, “Classic of Supporting Life” [6] Abbreviation for the Zhen jiu zi sheng jing 針灸資生經, “Classic of Supporting Life by Needling and Burning,” a Song 宋 dynasty acumoxa text. FE Jun zhai du shu fu zhi 郡齋讀書附志, “Appended Catalogue of Books Read at the Prefectural Study.” Written by → Wang Zhizhong 王執中. DC c. 1180-1195. 7 juan. The text includes 360 points classified by therapeutic function. It collects theoretical information from various authorities and adds the author’s personal opinions as explanations. There are also some medical recipes in the annotations. Zi shuo 字説, “Elucidation of Characters” Song 宋 dynasty lexicographical text. FE Song shi yi wen zhi 宋史藝文志, “Bibliographic Treatise in the History of the Song.” Written by → Wang Anshi 王 安石. DC 1080. 20 juan. The book marks a departure from the traditional lexicographical classification of the “six categories of characters” (liu shu 六書) proposed in the → Shuo wen jie zi 説文解字 and other dictionaries. Instead, Wang started from an entirely new perspective, analyzing all characters as if they were based on the ideographic principle (hui yi 會意). Even though this method was criticized as a strained way of interpretation during Song times, due to Wang’s political position his ideas were still tremendously influential. Thus, works such as the → Pi ya 埤雅 and the Zi shuo jie 字説解, “Explanation of the Zi shuo,” were strongly influenced by Wang’s work. The original text is lost, but it was cited extensively by later authors. LSZ frequently uses material from the Zi shuo in the “explanations of names” passages of his drug monographs. He refers to the text as Zi shuo [18], as Wang shi zi shuo 王氏字説, “Mr. Wang’s Elucidation of Characters,” [3], or by the name of the author alone as Wang Anshi [1].

692 Ziting zhenren 紫庭真人, “Perfected One of the Purple Palace” [1] Legendary immortal. According to a Ji xian lu 集仙錄, “Collected Records of Immortals,” quoted in the → Tai ping guang ji 太平廣記, he was granted the literary name Ziting zhenren by culture hero Yu 禹 (→ Da Yu 大禹), following their taming of the floods. In SE hui chong·蛔蟲, LSZ quotes a discourse of the Ziting zhenren on the “nine bugs” (jiu chong 九蟲) but does not specify his source. Ziwei furen 紫微夫人, “Lady of the Purple Tenuity” [1] Legendary Daoist immortal. The 24th daughter of the Queen Mother of the West (→ Xi wang mu 西王母), she was called Wang Qing’e 王清娥, style name Yuyin 愈音, and resided at the Palace of Purple Tenuity (zi wei gong 紫微宮), thus the name Ziwei furen. A Zhu xu 术序, “Introduction to Taking Atractylodes,” (→ Ziwei furen zhu xu 紫微夫人术序) is associated with her. Ziwei furen zhu xu 紫微夫人术序, “Introduction to Taking atractylodes by the Lady of the Purple Tenuity” [1] Essay associated with the → Ziwei furen 紫微夫人 from juan 6 of the Liang 梁 era → Zhen gao 真誥 of → Tao Hongjing 陶弘景, which discusses immortals and pills of longevity. The → Tai ping yu lan 太平御覽 cites a Zhu xu 术序, “Introduction to Taking Atractylodes,” by the Ziwei furen from a Xian jing 仙經, “Classic of Immortals.” Just before this paragraph there is another citation from a → Tu na jing 吐納經, therefore LSZ erroneously refers the Ziwei furen zhu xu material to that work. Ziyu 子郁→ Li Yanwen 李言聞 Zixu fu 子虛賦, “rhapsody of Zixu” Western Han 漢 fu 賦 written by → Sima Xiangru 司馬相如. This somewhat ambiguous poem of praise to emperor → Han Wu di 漢武帝 is comprised of the discussion and mutual reproaches among three characters called Zixu 子虛, “Master Emptiness,” Wuyou xiansheng 烏有先生, “Gentleman Nothing,” and Wangshi gong 亡是公, “Lord Nonesuch.” The first (earlier) part describes the abundance in the parks of Chu 楚 and Qi 齊 while the second (later) part narrates the events during a grand hunt of the emperor. The entire text is preserved in the author’s biography in the → Shi ji 史記 and → Han shu 漢書. The → Wen xuan 文選 divided it into two parts, preserving the original name for the first part while calling the second → Shang lin fu 上林賦. LSZ cites the poem as Zixu fu [1], as Sima Xiangru fu 司馬相如賦, “Rhapsody of Sima Xiangru,” [1], or as Xiangru fu 相如賦, “Rhapsody of Xiangru,” [3] in his main text. He also specifies some references as Shang lin fu [9]. Zong bing lun 總病論 → Shang han zong bing lun 傷寒總病論 Zong dingbo 宗定伯. [1] Jin 晉 dynasty person. A man of Nan yang 南陽 in present-day He nan 河南. According to the → Sou shen ji 搜神記, he once spat on a demon who then turned into a sheep, which Zong was able to sell on the market. The story is

According to the → Tang shuang pu 糖霜譜, he lived during the da li 大歷 reign period (766-779). Further details about his life are unavailable. Legend has it that once his donkey destroyed the seedlings of someone’s sugarcane plants. As a recompensation, Zou taught him how to prepare sugar. Another legend identifies him as an incarnation of the Bodhisattva Wenshu 文殊 (Manjushri). LSZ refers to him in SE shi mi 石蜜. Zou Lang 鄒閬 [1] Northern Song 宋 person.

Zuan qi fang 纂奇方, “Edited Extraordinary recipes” [2] Lost, anonymous medical recipe book. Possibly compiled by a Ming 明 period physician. No further details available. LSZ does not list the work in his bibliographical sections but cites it in his main text. This book may be identical with the → Zuan yao qi fang 纂要奇方.

Modern research, by contrast, considers Cui Zhiti the real author of the work. 10 juan. The text is now lost, but fragments are quoted in the → Wai tai mi yao fang 外臺秘 要方 and the → ZLBC. LSZ quotes the work as Zuan yao fang [5], as Zuan yao 纂要, “Editing the Essentials,” [5], as Cui shi zuan yao fang [1], Cui shi zuan yao 崔氏纂要, “Editing the Essentials of Mr. Cui,” [5], or simply using the assumed author’s name as Cui Xinggong [1]. One reference to a → Xiao er fang 小兒方 of Cui Xinggong is also taken from this book. In addition, LSZ quotes a → Cui
695 shi 崔氏, “Mr. Cui,” [10] or a Cui shi fang 崔氏方, “Mr. Cui’s Recipes,” [17], but without any time period or book title added, these references remain uncertain. Zuan yao qi fang 纂要奇方, “Edited Essential and Extraordinary recipes” Lost, anonymous medical recipe book. See bibliography of the BCGM. DC and size uncertain. Ming 明 or Qing 清 bibliographies don’t list any book of this name, and LSZ seems to be the only author to mention the title. He cites the work as Zuan yao qi fang [5] in his bibliographical sections and the main text, and references to a → Zuan qi fang 纂奇方 [2] may be to this text as well. Zuo Ci 左慈 Late Eastern Han 漢 master of recipes (fang shi 方士) and major (at least partly legendary) figure of Han Daoism. Style name Yuanfang 元放, a man of Lu jiang 廬江, now Qian shan 潜山 in An hui 安徽. Many miraculous stories about him are transmitted, e.g., in the → Shen xian zhuan 神仙傳 and his biography in the → Hou Han shu 後漢書 . Zuo Ci is said to have been the teacher of Ge Xuan 葛玄, the paternal ancestor of → Ge Hong 葛洪. Many books were later written under his name which include the → Zuo Ci mi jue 左慈秘訣. Zuo Ci mi jue 左慈秘訣, “Secret Instructions of Zuo Ci” [2] Lost, anonymous book. See bibliography of the → ZLBC. The title refers to → Zuo Ci 左慈, a late Eastern Han 漢 master of recipes (fang shi 方士). The ZLBC quotes one fragment, and LSZ takes this over, citing the book in his bibliographical sections and the main text.

A person of Lin zi 臨淄 in the state of Qi 齊, now Zi bo 淄博 in Shang dong 山東. She was the younger sister of literatus → Zuo Si 左思 and had a talent in writing fu 賦 poetry and other texts. In 272 she was made Lady of Cultivated Deportment (xiu yi 修儀) and from then on frequently received imperial orders to write texts. When Emperor Wu di obtained local products or other interesting objects, he had Zuo gui pin compose rhapsodies or odes about them. Author of a now lost → Zuo gui pin ji 左貴嬪集, cited second hand by LSZ. Zuo gui pin ji 左貴嬪集, “Collection of Zuo gui pin” Lost Western Jin 晉 literary collection.

The text, to match the Chun qiu, begins with events of 722 BCE but continues to 464 BCE, 17 years later than the Spring and Autumn period. There are even references to as late as 454 BCE. The Zuo zhuan records the same events as the Chun qiu but is far more detailed and narrative. In contrast to other major commentaries to the Spring and Autumn Annals such as the Gong yang zhuan 公羊傳, “Commentary by Gongyang [Gao],” and the Guliang zhuan 谷梁傳, “Commentary by Guliang [Chi],” which present a distinctly moral interpretation, the Zuo zhuan expands the Chun qiu with factual information on political and military events of the time (which is nevertheless not free of the author’s critical commentary). It is therefore an immensely important source for ancient history. The text of the Zuo zhuan is usually printed together with the Chun qiu as one of the thirteen Confucian classics. There is a Western Jin 晉 commentary by → Du Yu 杜預, the Chun qiu Zuo shi jing zhuan ji jie 春秋左氏經傳集
