Nányuè Xiǎolù 南嶽小錄
Brief Record of Mt. Nanyue by 李沖昭
About the work
A non-WYG edition of the one-juàn late-Tang Daoist sacred topography of the Southern Marchmount 南嶽, Héngshān 衡山 (modern Hunan), composed in Tiānfù 2 (902 CE) by the Daoist priest 李沖昭 Lǐ Chōngzhāo. The text is fully cataloged in the WYG edition at KR2k0083, to which the reader is referred for a complete description, tiyao translation, and secondary literature. The present Kanripo edition (KR4k0011) draws on a different source edition outside the Sìkù quánshū tradition and may present minor textual differences.

Abstract
See KR2k0083 for a full account of authorship, content, dating, and scholarly significance. In brief: the Nányuè Xiǎolù is the earliest surviving Tang-dynasty monograph on any of the Five Marchmounts (wǔyuè 五嶽). Lǐ Chōngzhāo compiled it from earlier tújīng, stele inscriptions, and oral tradition from Daoist elders on Héngshān, producing a systematic account of the mountain’s sacred topography and a catalogue of transcendents (xiān) who attained immortality there.
