Lost Works
This chapter of the Bibliographic Catalogue lists sixty-three lost
works on the Cantong qi. While the largest majority of them should
be commentaries—as suggested by their titles or by bibliographic
evidence—they certainly include works that would better be described
as essays on, or as works related to, the Cantong qi.
The sixty-three works are listed in an approximate chronological
order. Each entry reports the title of the work; its author; and references
to premodern and modern bibliographic sources where the work
is cited.
Bibliographic works that contain descriptions of texts or of
editions (instead of mere citations of their titles) are marked with an
asterisk (*). References to bibliographic sources are omitted in a few
entries for which no detailed information is available to me. For other
conventions and for the abbreviations used in this chapter, see above,

NOTE: It is unclear whether this commentary actually existed, and
if it did exist, whether it was actually composed by Yu Fan. A
sentence apparently found in this work is quoted in the Jingdian
shiwen (early seventh century), 2.1a. The commentary is also cited
in the Yin Changsheng commentary to the Cantong qi (no. 2),
3.11a, and Yu Fan refers to it in his Xishang futan, 2.3a. Note that
Yu Fan is also ascribed with a now-lost commentary to the Cantong
