About “Dongdu Shilüe”

Dongdu Shilüe is an 1186 Chinese history book that documents the Northern Song dynasty (960–1126). It was written by Wang Cheng, a Southern Song official who worked in the historiographic compilation bureau. The book's title refers to the fact that the Song dynasty's "Eastern Capital," Kaifeng, had been captured by the Jin dynasty following the Jingkang incident in 1127. The work serves as a historical record of the Northern Song period, produced during the Southern Song era. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
