Zhengdian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Zhengdian (Chinese: 政典; Wade-Giles: Chengtien; literally "Political Institutions") was a 35 volume book on Chinese political treatise in historical form which was written approximately in 742 by Liu Zhi, son of esteemed historical critic Liu Zhiji.[1] The book did not survived, but it was further expanded and borrowed by Du You in his Tongdian.
