The Tianchu juzhen miaozhuan ji 天廚聚珍妙饌集 "Collection of precious and wondrous dishes from the Heavenly kitchen"
was a short text on food compiled by an unknown author. The preface was written by Shi Weiquan 史維泉 from Ruyang 汝陽 in which it is said that a certain Li Shun 李順 once bought the book on the market (presumably as a manuscript) and decided to bring it into a wider circulation by having it printed. The book presents several recipes of dishes. It had survived in the Ming period 明 (1368-1644) encyclopaedia Yongle dadian 永樂大典, but was not included in the imperial reprint series Siku quanshu 四庫全書.
