Hakukozu (English spelling) Bó gǔ tú

Japanese: 博古図 - はくこず（英語表記）Bó gǔ tú

A collection of illustrated catalogs of ancient Chinese ritual and music vessels. 30 volumes. Also known as the Xuanhe Bogu Tu Lu. In 1107, the first year of the Daguan era of the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong ordered the compilation of the Xuanhe Dian Bogu Tu by collecting ancient vessels stored in the imperial court and various households. The Bogu Tu that is available today is said to be the original text with additions made after the Xuanhe era (1119-1125). It contains over 800 bronze vessels, divided into 20 categories, with sketches of the vessel's shape, measurements, and weight, as well as historical research. Although the historical research has many problems from a modern perspective, it is valuable in that it gives us information on the storage conditions of bronze vessels during the Northern Song Dynasty and the results of epigraphy.

中国の古代の礼楽の器の図録集。30巻。《宣和博古図録》ともいう。北宋の大観元年(1107)に徽宗（きそう）の勅をうけ，宮中や諸家に蔵する古器を集めて《宣和殿博古図》が編纂された。現在に伝わる《博古図》は，その原書に宣和年間(1119‐25)以降の増補が加わったものとされる。その中には800余点の青銅器が20に分類して収められ，それぞれの器形の写生や寸法，重量の記載があるほか，考証も加えられている。その考証には現在から見れば問題も多いが，北宋一代の青銅器の収蔵状況や金石学の成果を知りえる点で貴重である。
