An Encyclopaedia on Chinese History and Literature
Baicheng 稗乘 "Unofficial chronicles" is a series of collectanea (congshu 叢書) compiled by an anonymous Ming-period 明 (1368-1644) scholar. With a length of only 4 juan, the Baicheng is relatively short collection.
It was printed during the Wanli reign-period 萬曆 (1573-1619) and came into the ownership of Sun You'an 孫幼安 in 1618 who undertook a text-critical revision. He was of the opinion that the compiled might have been Huang Changling 黃昌齡.
The Baicheng is implicitly divided into four categories, namely Shilüe lei 史略類 (historiography), Xungu lei 訓詁類 (lesser learning or instructions), Shuojia lei 說家類 (narrations), and Ershi lei 二氏類 (Daoism and Buddhism). It includes excerpts of 42 books mostly of Ming-period authors that were assembled with a rather mediocre amount of diligence.
The Baicheng was republished in 1986 by the Zhongguo Shudian Press 中國書店.
