Jiudian beizheng 舊典備徵

Jiudian beizheng 舊典備徵 "Classical institutions fully documented" is a "brush-notes"-style book (biji 筆記) composed during the late Qing period 清 (1644-1911) by Zhu Pengshou 朱彭壽 (1869-1950), courtesy name Xiaoding 小汀, style Shu'an 述盦, Shusou 述叟 or Shouxin Zhuren 壽鑫主人. He was a native of Haiyan 海鹽, Zhejiang, who passed the imperial examinations in 1895, and went on to serve as Left Senior Counsellor of the Board of War (Lujunbu zuocheng 陸軍部左丞) and as an auxiliary academician in the Ministry of Rites (dianliyuan zhi xueshi 典禮院直學士). Zhu Pengshou participated in the compilation of the Qing ruxue an 清儒學案, taking responsibility for revising the prefaces, table of contents, and drafting a general index of the complete manuscript. However, the work was left unfinished due to the disbandment of the editorial office. In his later years, he organised family documents and compiled a catalogue of writings by more than one hundred members of the Zhu family from Haiyan across seventeen generations, appending works by female authors of the household. His own works include Anlekangpingshi suibi 安樂康平室隨筆 and Guochao renwu kaolie 國朝人物考略.

The work of 5 juan was completed in 1911. It is the first of six works in the author's series Shouxin zhai congji 壽鑫齋叢記 (the other texts being Danqian saolu 丹鉛璅錄, Jingji shuci zuanli 經籍屬辭纂例, Shixue pianzhi 詩學駢枝, Changtan taoyuan 常談討原, and Guang siba mu 廣四八目).

The Jiudian beizheng is divided into 35 thematic sections. It records historical events and figures of the Qing period. Among its sections — including investigations into noble titles, enshrinement in the Xianliangci Temple 賢良祠, meritorious subjects venerated across generations, people from the province of Zhejiang who received posthumous honorific titles, members of a single family who used studio names, aristocratic lineages, the number of zhuangyuan graduates by province, an investigation of the three top graduates (dingjia 鼎甲) from Zhejiang, and distinctions in official dress and headwear — all provide valuable material for historical research.

Editions include one published by the Wenlanyi Press 文嵐簃印書局 in Beijing, as well as a 1983 edition published by Zhonghua Shuju 中華書局 with punctuation and annotations by He Shuangsheng 何雙生.
