A Qing scholar's continuous month-by-month chronicle of the Song and Yuan centuries, compiled from the Song shi, the Liao, Jin and Yuan histories, Li Tao, Li Xinchuan and other Song sources. For 1199 and 1200 (juan 155 covers these years; the division should be checked) it interleaves the Song court under Ningzong and Han Tuozhou, the Jin court of Zhangzong, Xia and the first notices of the Mongols, which no single primary text does. It is a secondary compilation, but it is the quickest way to see what the Chinese sources record for a given month of 1200, and it cites its sources.
