List of early medieval Chinese texts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Most of the works listed date from a time span, which covered approximately from the 2nd century to the early 7th century CE, that means the late Han period (2nd century) through the Three Kingdoms and the Wei–Jin era up to the Southern and Northern Dynasties (3rd–6th centuries) and the early Sui/Tang period (7th century). The works listed here encompass a wide range of historical, literary, and religious texts from pre-modern China. They include official dynastic histories, biographical collections, poetic anthologies, as well as medical and encyclopedic treatises. Together, they reflect the rich cultural, political, and intellectual traditions spanning from antiquity through the Six Dynasties period.

Note: The Chinese character ji (Chinese: 集; pinyin: jí) means “collection of writings”, shu (simplified Chinese: 书; traditional Chinese: 書; pinyin: shū) means “book”, an other ji (simplified Chinese: 记; traditional Chinese: 記; pinyin: jì) means “notes; records”, shi (Chinese: 史; pinyin: shǐ) means “history”, etc.
