Revision as of 17:47, 22 November 2016
Gaogui xianggong ji 高貴鄉公集 (Collected Works of the Duke of Gaogui) is a Chinese text written by Cao Mao 曹髦.
Description
Cao Mao was a son of Cao Lin 曹霖, a prince of Wei. Cao Lin himself was a son of Cao Pi 曹丕, founding emperor of Wei. Wei had a regulation that the sons of princes were to be instated as dukes. When Cao Mao was instated, he was named Duke of Gaogui. Eventually Cao Mao became emperor of Wei in 254, but was murdered in 260 at the age of 19. During his short lifetime he wrote the Gaogui xianggong ji, the Collected Works of the Duke of Gaogui.
The Book of Sui says that the Liang Dynasty collection had 4 juan 卷 of this work, but it has since been lost. The New Book of Tang and the Old Book of Tang both mention the work, but in 2 juan. Some individual pieces of his work are still preserved, such as the citing in Records of the Three Kingdoms. [1]
