Siming wenxian lu 四明文獻錄

Siming wenxian lu 四明文獻錄 is a short biographical collection on writers and literati from Siming 四明 (Ningbo 寧波, Zhejiang) written by the early Ming-period 明 (1368-1644) scholar Huang Runyu 黃潤玉 (1389-1477), courtesy name Mengqing 孟清, known as Shannan Xiansheng 南山先生. He hailed Yinxian 鄞縣 close to Ningbo.

The book, finished in 1466, is divided into two parts, the first covering "masters from the town" (Xiang xiansheng), and second one "grand masters from the town" (Xiang dafu 鄉大夫). The former deals with commoners, the latter with state officials, with a total number of 44 persons. Each biography ends with a critical assessment. The original version was apparently enriched with a portrait of each person, but these were eliminated in surviving prints.
