Yilin daoyou lu 藝林悼友錄

Yilin daoyou lu 藝林悼友錄 is a book on calligraphy written during the late Qing period 清 (1644-1911) by Guo Rongguang 郭容光 (fl. 1708).

It consists of two collections (ji 集) which present notes on and biographies of 326 artists, with an appendix of 15 more persons. With all of them, Guo was more or less personally acquainted. The main purpose of the book was to explain the history of connections between calligraphers from the same region through the nineteenth century. It describes lives, interests, and scholarly pursuits of the artists. The book is not arranged in chronological order, but accidentally. At the end of the two collections, some further notes on Buddhist and Daoist artists are inserted.

The book was printed in 1892 by the Tie Ruyi Bao Studio 鐵如意寶.
