The ''Ming Shilu'' () contains the imperial annals of the Ming emperors (1368–1644). It is the single largest historical source for the dynasty. According to modern historians, it "plays an extremely important role in the historical reconstruction of Ming society and politics." 〔Wade, 2005b, 3.〕 After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the ''Ming Shilu'' was used as a primary source for the compilation of the ''Mingshi'' (''History of Ming'').〔 The section (shilu) for each emperor was composed after the emperor's death by a History Office appointed by the Grand Secretariat using different types of historical sources such as: #"The Qiju zhu (起居注 qǐjūzhù), or 'Diaries of Activity and Repose'. These were daily records of the actions and words of the Emperor in court."〔Wade, 2005b, 4.〕 #"The 'Daily Records' (日曆 rìlì). These records, established precisely as a source for the compilation of the shilu, were compiled by a committee on the basis of the diaries and other written sources."〔 #Other sources such as materials collected from provincial centres and "culled from other official sources such as memorials, ministerial papers and the Metropolitan Gazette."〔 * The short period of the Jianwen reign is included in the ''Taizong Shilu'' about the Yongle reign.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ming Shilu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
