Works Attributed to Wei Boyang
The final chapter of the Bibliographic Catalogue lists seventeen works
attributed to Wei Boyang by different premodern bibliographies and
other sources. These attributions testify to the prestige of the Cantong
qi and of its reputed author, which progressively led to the multiplication
of works composed in his name.
Bibliographic works that contain descriptions of texts or of
editions (instead of mere citations of their titles) are marked with an
asterisk (*). For the abbreviations used in this chapter, see above, p. 17.
