Books on Material Culture and Nature Studies (pulu lei 譜錄類) is a subcategory in traditional Chinese bibliographies and part of the category of Masters and Philosophers (zibu 子部). The respective section was in the reprint series Siku quanshu 四庫全書 divided into three parts, firstly tools and objects (qiwu 器物, 25 books) including research on antiques, the objects of the study, money, machines, and so on (the most famous of which are Kaogutu 考古圖, Qiqi tushuo 奇器圖說 and the Tiangong kaiwu 天工開物, the latter not being included in the Siku quanshu); secondly eating and drinking (yinzhuan 飲饌, 10 books), like the "tea classic" Chajing 茶經; and thirdly studies on plants and animals (caomu qinyu 草木禽魚, 21 books). The scientific treatises section in the Siku quanshu includes 56 books.
The following table does not strictly follow the arrangement of texts in the Siku quanshu, but adds headlines providing better overview of the themes and topics.
