A Song official's notebook finished in 1206, with entries on the government, coinage and paper money, the examinations, the roads and post, Lin'an and the provinces, and in juan 5 a list of the foreign countries and ships that came to trade at the southern ports with their goods. Contemporary with 1200 and plain in tone; a small source, useful for the texture of Song administration and overseas trade in the Qingyuan years.
