Japanese: 越甸幽霊集 - えつでんゆうれいしゅう（英語表記）Viet Dien U Linh Tap

A collection of Vietnamese legends. It is a collection of legends about guardian deities and land gods that were enshrined in shrines and other places in northern Vietnam. It was compiled by Ly The Xuyen (Lee Je Chuan) in 1329 during the Tran Dynasty. It was originally a one-volume book based on a collection of legends from the Ly Dynasty (11th to 13th centuries) whose editor is unknown and contained 27 stories, but it was passed down through several copies that were extensively supplemented and revised in the late 18th century, and the revised version by Kim Mien Muoi (Jin Mien Mai) from 1771 contains 35 stories, and the revised version by Chu Cat (Zhuge Zhuge) from 1774 contains 41 stories in four volumes.
