Dian lüe

The Dian lüe 典略 (Authoritative Account) was a Chinese text written by Yu Huan 魚豢. There is some confusion about this text and the Wei lüe 魏略, also by Yu Huan. It is suggested that these are two different titles for the same book. This suggestion is sometimes countered by the fact that the Dian lüe dealt with people of Later Han while the Wei lüe dealt with people of Wei. Book texts are frequently cited by Pei Songzhi for his annotations to Records of the Three Kingdoms.
