See also Mansvelt Beck, The Treatises of the Later Han, 175–195.5Lü Zhiyi, “Fangzhi qiyuan yanjiu”; and Xu Qinggen, “Songren dui difangzhi qiyuan de zhishi.” For English-language translations, see Birrell, The Classic of Mountains and Seas; and Strassberg, A Chinese Bestiary.6Apart from the two chapters in the Lost Histories of Yue, one other much disputed text survives that may be of comparable antiquity—The Capitol and Royal Domain(Sanfu huangtu), which describes the landscape and architecture of the capital in the Qin and Han dynasties. The date of this text is the subject of much controversy. Miao Changyan, who collated the work in 1153, was the first to propose that it may derive from the late Han dynasty. See Miao Changyan, “Sanfu huangtu xu,” quoted in He, Sanfu huangtu jiaoshi, 5. Chao Gongwu (1105–1180) suggested that it derives from the Liang-Chen dynasties; see Sun Meng, Junzhai dushu jiaozheng, 346 [“Dili-lei”]. Cheng Dachang (Yo ng l u, 1.7a–8a) believes it to be a Tang dynasty text.7The issue of the dating of the Lost Histories of Yue is significantly complicated by later accretions; see Chen Qiaoyi, “Dianjiaoben Yuejue shu xu,” 12. For a detailed study of the dating of individual chapters, see Zhou Shengchun, “Yuejue shuchengshu niandai ji zuozhe xintan.” For an alternative discussion of dating and a complete translation of the entire text, see Milburn, The Glory of Yue.8For the importance of the Lost Histories of Yue in the development of the gazetteer, see Bi Yuan, “Liquanxian jiuzhi xu,” 982; and Zhu Shijia, “Zhongguo difangzhi de qiyuan, tezheng ji qi shiliao jiazhi,” 2. See also Henry, “The Submerged History of Yuè,” 28–33.9Chen Qiaoyi, “Tujing zai woguo dizhishi zhong de zhongyao diwei,” 68.
