LITERARY AND SCHOLARLY WORKS OF LATER HAN

This list is designed as an index to writings mentioned in the various biographies; fuller details are provided under the entries for the various authors. I have made no attempt to record every work mentioned in the histories: that work has been comprehensively carried out by Hou Kang and Yao Zhenzong.

The major genres of writing common at this time are rendered as follows:

bei 碑 stele inscription [funerary or commemorative]

biezhuan 別傳 secondary biography

fu 賦 rhapsody

lei 誄 eulogy

ling 銘 inscription

ling biao 靈表 memorial statement

lun 論 discussion or essay

mu biao 墓表 tomb inscription

mu zhi 墓誌/志 tomb marker

shi 詩 poem

song 頌 hymn

ya 雅 ode

zan 讚 eulogy

zhangju 章句 commentary or detailed commentary [lit. "Exposition in Paragraphs and Sentences"]

zhen 箴 exhortation

Larger works were commonly measured in pian 篇 sections, which could contain a number of juan 卷 scrolls. Modern measurements equate juan to chapters.

3 When a fragment of a work is cited by a commentary to Hou Han shu or to Sanguo zhi, the reference is given to that commentator rather than to a modern collection or edition.

4 In 72 Ban Gu was appointed to chair the committee of historians commissioned by Emperor Ming to compile the annals of the reign of Emperor Guangwu 世祖本紀 Ban Gu and his colleague Yin Min evidently represented the interest of the Dou family, their fellow committee-members Meng Ji and Ma Yan were chosen to represent the rival faction of the Empress Ma, and two other scholars were neutral. Their work, initially known as the "Diary of the Jianwu Period" 建武注記, became the first part of Dongguan Hanji.

In 120 Liu Taotu and his cousin Liu Yi were commissioned to work with Liu Zhen and Li You on the official history of Later Han, later known as Dongguan Hanji 東觀漢記. The history had been started by Ban Gu and others under orders from Emperor Ming, with the initial title "Diary of the Jianwu Period" 建武注記. This second instalment contained annals for the period 58 to 106, being the reigns of Emperors Ming, Zhang, He and the infant Shang, together with tables and biographies of leading men, imperial relatives by marriage and noted scholars, and the whole compilation was now entitled Han ji 漢記 "Record of Han."

Early in the reign of Emperor Huan, about 151, the government controlled by the Empress Liang Nüying and her brother Liang Ji ordered a third instalment of the "Records of Han" 漢記 Han ji, official history of the Later Han dynasty, known later as Dongguan Hanji 東觀漢記. The chief scholars involved at this time were Fu Wuji, Huang Jing, Cui Shi, Bian Shao and Yan Du, and the compilation included annals, tables of kings and marquises, accounts of the Xiongnu and the Qiang. Fu Wuji and Huang Jing also compiled a Treatise of Geography 地理志, which was evidently edited by Sima Biao to compose the Treatise of Administrative Geography 郡國志 for his Xu Han shu.

Through the 150s and early 160s the committee continued work on this third instalment of the official "Record of Han" 漢記, adding a Table of the Bureaucracy and biographies of empresses and other individuals, including the eunuchs Cai Lun and Sun Cheng. Scholars identified as taking part in the project at one time or another include Cui Shi, Yan Du, Deng Si, Bian Shao, Cao Shou and Zhu Mu.

Probably in 177 a further continuation was ordered by Emperor Ling. The senior scholar was Ma Midi, and other members of the committee were Cai Yong, Han Yue, Lu Zhi and Yang Biao. Their work included annals for emperors An and Shun, for the infants Chong and Zhi and for Emperor Huan, with biographies updated to the end of the reign of Emperor Huan in 168. It was at this time that the history acquired the name of Dongguan Hanji 東觀漢記, from the Eastern Pavilion of the Southern Palace, where the library and workrooms were located.

In addition to the co-operative compilation, Cai Yong also composed ten Treatises from the official archives and from material passed to him by his former teacher Hu Guang. [These treatises were known as yi 意 instead of zhi 志 to avoid taboo on the personal name of Emperor Huan.] Cai Yong later compiled also the Annals of the reign of Emperor Ling, but that work was soon lost.

In the early 220s, after the abdication of Emperor Xian in favour of Cao Pi, first Emperor of Wei, the elder statesman Yang Biao continued and completed the history down to the end of the Han dynasty.

5 Huayang guo zhi is a well-organised and valuable history of Yi province, present-day Sichuan, with a quantity of detail, though it frequently contains material that is anecdotal and/or appears unreliable. Transmission, however, is far less secure than that of standard histories such as HHS and SGZ, and there are many places where names and dates are confused. Where HYGZ is clearly in error, I have not indexed or itemised the variants.

6 The text of this work, now in fragments, is not always reliable. The history contains many anecdotes and accounts of unusual behaviour, with some references to Qin and Former Han.

7 HHS 79/69A:2545; Texts, Bn 79:184-197, and Tjan 49. Bold lettering indicates the citation system used in this work.

8 An asterisk * indicates that the school was represented by an Academician at the University.

9 See Texts:234-241 [Boltz] and 293-297 [Riegel].

10 The Qing school was initially represented by an Academician at the University, but was later disestablished.

11 After Liu Zhuang 劉莊, Emperor Ming, came to the throne in 57, the surname Zhuang 莊 was tabooed as Yan 嚴.

12 Emperor Guangwu established a chair for Zuo zhuan, but allowed it to lapse a few years later.

13 Though the Analects were not represented by a chair at the University, they were included in the Stone Classics of 175 at the expense of the Poetry: see sub Cai Yong.
