List of dubious texts found in Pei's annotations

The origin of these texts are disputable, as are either its contents, its names or its citations. Texts marked in red have been found in other lists of cited works (such as Gao Min's Books used by Pei Songzhi on noting 'History of the Three Kingdoms') but are according to us most definately an erroneous mention. In the notes section we explain why.

Notes

  1. Official Posts
    A work entitled 名 is probably a list of names of office-holders. In this case a list of Jin officials. Jin probably maintained a continuing index of officials, and this on-going list could be broken up by reign (hence the List of Official Posts under Emperor Wu [of Jin] 武帝百官名 in the Book of Wei 18 and the List of Official Posts in the First Year of Xianxi 咸熙元年百官名 (the time of the abdication of Wei) in the Book of Wei 28). There was also a 百官名 for the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin (290-306), the second Emperor of Jin. All these were part of the same continuing record. [2]
  2. Official Posts in the First Year of Xianxi
  3. Official Posts under Emperor Wu
  4. 101 Poems” or “Admonishing Poems
    A set of pentasyllabic poems that convey political criticism. Ying Qu was a nephew of Ying Shao 應劭. Translating the title is rather difficult, as "Baiyi" 百一 could mean 'one and a hundred' but that doesn't always make sense (because it might've contained 130 poems). It could also have meant 'one of a hundred' or 'admonition', but those translations too don't always make sense. The Jin shu qishi 今書七志 says that every poem contained 101 words (今書七志曰: 應璩集謂之新詩, 以百言為一篇, 或謂之百一詩.)
  5. The Master Who Embraces Simplicity[3]

  13. Unofficial Biography of Cao Zhi

  14. Composition of Abdication to Jin
    first instance: “後魏為禪晉文” (“Later the Wei made it's compisition of abdication to Jin”)
    Cao Huan is not mentioned as having written the abdication, but an abdication can only be written by the emperor, which at the time of the abdication was Cao Huan.
  15. Unofficial Biography of Cheng Xiao
  16. Accounts of Venerable Men and Ancient Affairs of Chenliu[5]
    The Hou Han ji by Yuan Hong, 21, 8b says that in 153 A.D. Yuan Tang 袁湯 (grandfather of Yuan Shu became Grand Administrator of Chenliu commandery 陳留 and commissioned a Chenliu qijiu zhuan. The Book of Sui (Suī shū 隋書) mentions two books called Chenliu qijiu zhuan; one in 2 juan 卷 by Quan Cheng 圈称 of Han and the other in 1 juan bu Su Lin 蘇林 of Wei. There exists also a Chenliu fengsu zhuan in 3 juan by Quan Cheng. The Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書 (Old Book of the Tang Dynasty) has a Chenliu fengsu zhuan in 3 juan by Quan Cheng. The Xin Tang shu 新唐書 (New Book of the Tang Dynasty) mentions both the Chenliu qijiu zhuan by Su Lin and the Chenliu fengsu zhuan by Quan Cheng, each with the same number of chapters and in the Book of Sui. It is clear that the work which was commissioned by Yuan Tang did not deal with the period of the end of the Later Han, but Su Lin and Quan Cheng wrote continuations of the original. There is no way to decide which of the two continuations has been quoted in the commentary by Pei Songzhi.[7]
  17. Register of the Chen Clan

  23. Authoritative Account[5]
    Listed in the Book of Sui as 89 juan 卷 large. However the Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書 (Old Book of Tang) says it's 50 juan large and mentions another work by Yu Huan, the Wei lüe, as 38 juan large. When added an introductory chapter; 50 + 38 + 1 = 89 juan. Because of this it is believed the Wei lüe and Dian lüe may be one and the same book.[9]
  24. Discourse on Literature
    This literary text implied that the then culturally accepted answers for death and dying weren't satisfactory enough to answer Cao Pi's thoughts about it.
  25. the dinghai proclamation[4]
    Dinghai is one of the sixty-cycle days (day 24). The Dinghai ling was issued by Cao Pi on that day in the second month of 220, before he had taken the imperial title. One could also render it slightly more detailed, Proclamation on the 24th of the Sixty-Cycle Days.

  66. found in Book of Wei 11: 杜恕著《家戒》稱閣曰:「。。。」
    It is hard to tell whether this work was cited by Chen Shou or Pei Songzhi. Older versions of Records of the Three Kingdoms printed it as Chen's words, but the citing style looked more like Pei's. Li Qiming 李慈銘 believes the text really was by Pei Songzhi, and Rafe de Crespigny agrees with him (thus, so do we).[14]

    There is also a work mentioned called Jiao-Guang ji ascribed to Wang Yin. Rafe de Crespigny suggests that Wang Yin 王隱 may have been miswritten for Wang Fan 王範 and that the Jiao-Guang ji and Jiao-Guang erzhou chunqiu are one and the same book.
  71. Table of Officials of Jin
    May well have presented a list of offices and the name of the holders (whereas a 百官名 would be a list a of names of office-holders and 百官志 probably a description of the offices themselves). Ascribed to Xun Chuo 荀綽 (who also did the commentary) and probably a different book than the earlier listed Baiguan ming 百官名 and it's later added indexes.[15]

    The Book of Sui also mentions a Xu Jin yangqiu 續晉陽秋 by Tan Daoluan 檀道鸞 of the Liu Song Dynasty. Yangqiu 陽秋 is an alternative form of the much more common Chunqiu 春秋. The character for chun 春 was part of the childhood name of the Empress née Zhang of the Jin Emperor Jianwen 簡文 and therefor chun was subsistuted to avoid the tabu. In later times the titles of some books kept the change, but others, such as the Han-Wei chunqiu returned to their original names.

  149. Authoritative History of Wei[3]
    The Book of Sui says the Wei lüe had 89 juan 卷. The Jiu Tang shu 舊唐書 (Old Book of Tang) lists a similarly titled text, the Dian lüe, in 50 juan and the Wei lüe in 38 juan. Together this makes 88 juan, but when we add an introductory chapter we have 89 juan. Because of this it is believed that the Wei lüe and Dian lüe may have been one and the same book. Shen Jiaben 沈家本 of the early 20th century notes that the quotations in Pei Songzhi's commentary which were taken from the Dian lüe deal with men who did not live under Wei; Lü Bu and Gongsun Zan for example, and concludes that the Wei lüe and Dian lüe are two distinct works. However, the Records of the Three Kingdoms also has biographies of Lü Bu and Gongsun Zan in the Wei section so his theory may not be considered solid. He goes on to say that the Wei lüe dealt with Wei, while the Dian lüe dealt with Han.
  150. Memorials of the Celebrated Ministers of Wei[3]
    A quote by Pei Songzhi in the Book of Wei 22 mentions an imperial order for the compilation of an anthology of memorials called Mingchen zouyi 名臣奏議 during the Zhengshi reignperiod of Wei (240-249). The Book of Sui mentions a Han mingchen zou 漢名臣奏 in 30 juan and De Crespigny suggests this might've been about Shu-Han.[20]

In the Book of Wei 10 Pei Songzhi gives the personal name as Heng 衡. Commentary in the Hou Han shu (50b and 27b) also say Zhang Zhi, so the weight of the evidence favours Zhang Zhi.[22]

Due to the similarity of some of their work (Yibu qijiu zhuan) it could be that Chen Shou extracted some of Chen Shu's work.[24]

  198. Miscellany[3]
    Pei Songzhi quoted several similarly titled texts by Sun Sheng, the Zaji, Zayu, Yitong zayu, Ping, Yitong ping and Yitong ji. Rafe de Crespigny believes they are all one and the same, and said so in his 1970[28] and 1990[3] works. It seems likely that at least the Zayu and Yitong zayu are the same, as well as the Ping and Yitong ping as Pei Songzhi was fond of abbreviating titles. Shen Jiaben 沈家本 (early 20th century), Lin Guozan 林國贊 (17th century) and Qian Daxin 錢大昕 (18th century) share the same point of view as Rafe de Crespigny. Wang Zuyi 王祖彝 (1956) believes Yitong ping and Yitong zayu were two different texts and the others were part of them. Gao Min raises the question why one text (if indeed it would be on text), was cited so many times under so many different names. There are likely many more theories but none of them have any firm evidence.

  233. Master Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals
    A collection of treatises on cosmological matters from the late Warring States period 戰國. Said to have been written by a number of retainers of Lü Buwei (retainers of noble men at that time were highly educated and represented a philosophical school of thinking). It contains Confucian and Daoist thought as well as theories of the nominalists (mingjia 名家), legalists, Mohists, agronomists and the Yin-Yang.

  239. Garden of Stories
    A collection of short stories of persons from antiquity to the Former Han period. Classified as a Confucian treatise, but the literary critic Liu Xie 劉勰 from the Southern Dynasties period 南朝 (420~589), writing the Wenxin diaolong 文心雕龍, interpreted the stories as of more literary character. It was therefore often classified as collection of short stories in later ages, inspite of its historiographical content.
  240. Intrigues of the Warring States[29]
  241. Rites of Zhou
    Originally known as Zhou guan 周官. It outlines the supposed structure of the state of Zhou.
  242. Master Zhuang
  243. found in: 文武應時用,兼才在明哲。嗟嗟我石生,為國之俊傑。入侍於皇闥,出則登九列。威檢肅青、徐,風發宜吳裔。疇昔謬同位,情至過魯、衛。分離踰十載,思遠心增結。願子鑒斯誠,寒暑不踰契。
    A poem by Cao Jia sent to Shi Chong (who later sent a poem in return). The entire poem has been included in the Book of Wei 20. Pei Songzhi was merely describing an event in which Cao Jia and Shi Chong sent each other a poem. He wasn't quoting them for referential purposes.
  244. Essay in Praise of Being[4]
    Written by Pei Wei in opposition to Wang Bi's approach in Essay on the Value of Non-Being (Gui wulun 貴無論) (see next entry). Like with Wang Bi's text, Pei Songzhi is just referring to it but not quoting it.
  245. Essay on the Value of Non-Being[4]
    A philosophical work by Wang Bi, a neo-Daoist philosopher. Mentioned in the Book of Wei 23 by Pei Songzhi, but not quoted.
  246. Records of Jiao and Guang [Provinces][3]
    Rafe de Crespigny believes it is likely that that the Jiao-Guang ji ascribed to Wang Yin is actually a miswriting for the Jiao-Guang erzhou chunqiu of Wang Fan. [31]
  247. Listed in Gao Min's work and found in the Book of Wei 20, but it is not quoted by Pei Songzhi. The text just mentions two medical works, one by Cao Xi and another by Huangfu Mi, being released.
  248. Listed in Gao Min's work and found in the Book of Wei 20, but it is not quoted by Pei Songzhi. The text just mentions two medical works, one by Huangfu Mi and another by Cao Xi, being released.
  249. Records of Officials of Jin
    (晉)百官志 is actually miswritten for 百官名 in the Book of Wei 12 and 15.[4]
  250. Book of Jin
    A title found in the Book of Wei 3 supposedly written by Gan Bao. However, Gan Bao never wrote a Jin shu 晉書. There are editions of the Records of the Three Kingdoms in which the title is Jin ji 晉紀.
  251. The Sancang consisted of three texts, the Cangjie 蒼頡, the Yuanli 爰曆 and the Boxue 博學. These three works can be considered studybooks of Mandarin language and weren't quoted by Pei Songzhi to explain something about the history of the Three Kingdoms.
  252. found in: 昔常接羽儀,俱游青雲中,敦道訓冑子,儒化渙以融,同聲無異響,故使恩愛隆。豈惟敦初好,款分在令終。孔不陋九夷,老氏適西戎。逍遙滄海隅,可以保王躬。世事非所務,周公不足夢。玄寂令神王,是以守至沖。
    Shi Chong's poem in reply to Cao Jia's poem. The entire poem (as quoted above) can be found in the Book of Wei 20. Gao Min listed the poem for his "Books used by Pei Songzhi on noting “History of the Three Kingdoms”", but one should rather consider it as an account of event, rather than Pei Songzhi citing a poem.
  253. Critics by Sun Chuo
    Some historians believe the Sun Chuo ping was the name of a text part of the Jinwei weiqing Sun Chuo ji 晉衛尉卿孫綽集. Others, such as Zhao Yi 趙翼 and Wang Zuyi 王祖彝 do not see it as the title of a text. In modern versions of the Records of the Three Kingdoms the Sun Chuo ping was not placed between book mark punctuations (《》).
  254. Biography of Emperor Xian
    A title found in the Book of Wei 1, 2, 3 and 6. The name is quite suspicious because biographies (zhuán 傳) were written for subjects and never Emperors (who had annals ( 紀) written for them). Rafe de Crespigny[4] and Lu Bi, in Sanguo zhi jijie 三國志集解 suspect it is miswritten for Xiandi ji 獻帝紀.[32]
  255. Biography of Xin Xianying
    Quoted below a citation from the Wei-Jin shiyu as if Pei Songzhi was quoting Xin Xianying zhuan as carried by the Wei-Jin shiyu. Rafe de Crespigny did include this work in his index of works quoted by Pei Songzhi for Records of the Three Kingdoms.[33]
  256. Autobiographical Memoir
    i.e. the preface to the Xu Han shu 續漢書 by Sima Biao.[33] Not an individual book.
  257. The work is quoted within a quotation from Jin yangqiu 晉陽秋, thus Xun Can zhuan was not quoted by Pei Songzhi, but by the author of Jin yangqiu (Sun Sheng). Rafe de Crespigny did include this work in his index of works quoted by Pei Songzhi for Records of the Three Kingdoms and says it might've been a biezhuan 別傳. [34]
  258. found in Book of Wei 2: 臣松之按:魏郊祀奏中,尚書盧毓議祀厲殃事云:「。。。」
    It was part of a memorial [魏郊祀奏], and is not, strictly speaking, the name of a particular text. It is best understood as referring to a discussion 議 by the Master of Writing Lu Yu 盧毓 [member of the Secretariat] on the subject of sacrifices to seek good fortune.
  259. It is often suggested by former and modern scholars and historians that this text might've been a different name of, or part of Zaji 雜記 (see entry 207 "Zaji").
  260. Comparisons and Criticisms
    Also referred to as Sun Sheng ping 孫盛評. It is often suggested by former and modern scholars and historians that this text might've been a different name of, or part of Zaji 雜記 (see entry 207 "Zaji")
  261. Comparisons and Comments
    Also referred to as just Zayu 雜語. It is often suggested by former and modern scholars and historians that this text might've been a different name of, or part of Zaji 雜記 (see entry 207 "Zaji")
  262. Biography of Yue Guang
    Found in the Book of Wei 23 and it somehow made it to Gao Min's list. The Yue Guang zhuan was mentioned, but not quoted.
  263. found in: 《鄭玄傳》云:玄薦乾於州。乾被辟命,玄所舉也。
    Assumably the name should've been 鄭玄別傳. The quotation here was about Zheng Xuan's promotion of Sun Qian, which was an event too trivial to be included in a "basic biography" (zhuan 傳). Events like these were usually included in "unofficial biographies" 別傳.
  1. This column shows the name of the text in hanzi. The name sometimes differs from how it's found in Records of the Three Kingdoms. Pei Songzhi often abbreviated titles. We list the full title.
  2. This column shows how the name in hanzi is pronounced.
  3. This column gives the author of the text as found in Records of the Three Kingdoms. If found in another work, a source is mentioned.
  4. This column shows how many times the text was quoted by Pei Songzhi and it tells where the very first quotation can be found (based on the 1959 Chunghwa edition of Records of the Three Kingdoms.
  5. This column gives additional information, such as a translation of the title of the text, what it's about, if it's known under a different name, et cetera.
