Geimon Ruiju - Geimon Ruiju

A 100-volume collection (a kind of encyclopedia) from the early Tang Dynasty in China. It was ordered by Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty to be completed in two or three years by Ouyang Xun and others in 624 (the 7th year of the Wude era). It is the second oldest surviving collection after the Beidou Shosho, and was considered a model for subsequent collections in terms of its structure and content. The outline is divided into 45 sections: Heaven, Seasons, Earth, Provinces, Commanderies, Mountains, Water, Talisman, Emperor, Empress, Courtiers, People, Rites, Music, Officials, Titles, Governance, Criminal Law, Miscellaneous Writings, Martial Arts, Military Equipment, Residences, Industry, Clothing, Ceremonial Decorations, Clothing, Boats and Chariots, Food, Miscellaneous Items, Arts and Crafts, Taoism, Internal Code, Miracles, Fire, Herbs, Jewels, Grains, Fruits, Trees, Birds, Beasts, Scales, Insects, Auspicious Signs, and Disasters. Each section is outlined in a general summary, with related sources listed and associated poems and prose. This book was required reading for the establishment of the Jinshi system, and similar books were published in rapid succession. It is valuable because of its precise content and the books cited have become lost. It was included in the "Gu Ji Ji" (Ancient Records and Records), compiled by Feng Wei of the Ming Dynasty. There are versions published in the 10th year of Shaoxing (1140) of the Song Dynasty, the 6th year of Jiajing (1527) of the Ming Dynasty, the 15th year of Wanli (1587), and a 16-volume facsimile published by the Zhonghua Book Bureau in Shanghai (1959). It was introduced to Japan early on and is included in the "Catalogue of Books Found in Japan."

中国、唐初の類書（一種の百科事典）。100巻。唐の李淵(りえん)が624年（武徳7）に欧陽詢(おうようじゅん)らに命じて、2、3年で完成したもの。現存の類書中では『北堂書鈔(ほくどうしょしょう)』に次いで最古で、構成と内容から後続した類書の模範とされた。その大綱は、天、歳時、地、州、郡、山、水、符命、帝王、后妃、儲宮(ちょきゅう)、人、礼、楽、職官、封爵、治政、刑法、雑文、武、軍器、居処、産業、衣冠、儀飾、服飾、舟車、食物、雑器物、巧芸、方術、内典、霊異、火、薬香草、宝玉、百穀、果、木、鳥、獣、鱗介(りんかい)、虫豸(ちゅうち)、瑞祥(ずいしょう)、災異の45部とし、その下に1000余項を配する。各項は総叙で概説し、関係典拠を列挙し、関係詩文を付する。進士制度確立のため必読書とされ、類書も続出した。内容精確、また引用書が逸書となったため貴重である。明(みん)の馮惟(ひょうい)編『古記紀』に収められた。宋(そう)の紹興10年（1140）版、明(みん)の嘉靖(かせい)6年（1527）版、万暦(ばんれき)15年（1587）版、上海(シャンハイ)中華書局版複製16冊（1959）がある。わが国には早く伝わり『日本国見在書目録』に載せられた。
