Jìn Lù 晉錄
Records of the Jin anonymous
About the work
Jìn Lù 晉錄 is a jíyìběn reconstruction of a lost Jin-dynasty historical record. The authorship is unknown; the title suggests it was an annalistic or biographical compilation of Jin history. Six fragmentary passages survive, preserved in early Táng encyclopedias.
Tiyao

Abstract
The six surviving fragments are all short extracts: notices on Lǔ Zhī 魯芝 (a high official noted for frugality, who received a gift of 300 bolts of silk from the throne and had no luxurious residence, requiring soldiers to build him a 50-room house), Yuán Ào 袁奧 (recommended for promotion among the Nine Ministers), Yáng Quán 楊泉 (a man of pure principles repeatedly summoned to office), a double-melon omen in the Xiánníng 咸寧 era, and a white fox omen in 276 CE. All were cited from either the Běitáng Shūchāo 北堂書鈔 or the Yìwén Lèijù 藝文類聚.
The Jìn Lù was lost after the Táng period. The fragments provide modest additional evidence for Jin official biography and omen lore, supplementing the standard histories.
