Xuan-he-hua-pu (English: Xuan-he-hua-pu)

Japanese: 宣和画譜 - せんながふ（英語表記）Xuan-he-hua-pu

This is a record of the paintings stored in the Xuanhe Inner Palace during the reign of Emperor Huizong in the late Northern Song Dynasty. It has a preface dated 1120. It consists of 20 volumes. It is said to have been compiled by Emperor Huizong, but the more popular theory is that it is a compilation of various records from the Southern Song period. Famous paintings from the Wei and Jin periods are divided into 10 categories: Taoism and Buddhism, People, Palaces and Rooms, Barbarians, Dragons and Fish, Landscapes, Animals and Beasts, Flowers and Birds, Ink and Bamboo, and Vegetables. At the beginning of each category, a brief commentary is added, naming masters from past and present, and a short biography of the painter. Some of the works recorded and commented upon are noteworthy. They are included in the Tsutai Bishu and Ga Shi Soshu.
