3 When a fragment of a work is cited by a commentary to Hou Han shu or to Sanguo zhi, the reference is given to that commentator rather than to a modern collection or edition. 4 In 72 Ban Gu was appointed to chair the committee of historians commissioned by Emperor Ming to compile the annals of the reign of Emperor Guangwu ᵗ䢗㙭䱁. Ban Gu and his colleague Yin Min evidently represented the interest of the Dou family, their fellow committee- members Meng Ji and Ma Yan were chosen to represent the rival faction of the Empress Ma, and two other scholars were neutral. Their work, initially known as the "Diary of the Jianwu Period" ⸻㪧㰩奙, became the first part of Dongguan Hanji. In 120 Liu Taotu and his cousin Liu Yi were commissioned to work with Liu Zhen and Li You on the official history of Later Han, later known as Dongguan Hanji 㚲夁㹣奙. The history had been started by Ban Gu and others under orders from Emperor Ming, with the initial title "Diary of the Jianwu Period" ⸻㪧㰩奙. This second instalment contained annals for the period 58 to 106, being the reigns of Emperors Ming, Zhang, He and the infant Shang, together with tables and biographies of leading men, imperial relatives by marriage and noted scholars, and the whole compilation was now entitled Han ji 㹣奙"Record of Han." Early in the reign of Emperor Huan, about 151, the government controlled by the Empress Liang Nüying and her brother Liang Ji ordered a third instalment of the "Records of Han" 㹣奙 Han ji, official history of the Later , known later as Dongguan Hanji 㚲夁㹣奙. The chief scholars involved at this time were Fu Wuji, Huang Jing, Cui Shi, Bian Shao and Yan Du, and the compilation included annals, tables of kings and marquises, accounts of the Xiongnu and the Qiang. Fu Wuji and Huang Jing also compiled a Treatise of Geography ♱䍇⼘, which was evidently edited by Sima Biao to compose the Treatise of Administrative Geography 怢♌⼘ for his Xu Han shu. Through the 150s and early 160s the committee continued work on this third instalment of the official "Record of Han" 㹣䱁, adding a Table of the Bureaucracy and biographies of empresses and other individuals, including the eunuchs Cai Lun and Sun Cheng. Scholars identified as taking part in the project at one time or another include Cui Shi, Yan Du, Deng Si, Bian Shao, Cao Shou and Zhu Mu. Probably in 177 a further continuation was ordered by Emperor Ling. The senior scholar was Ma Midi, and other members of the committee were Cai Yong, Han Yue, Lu Zhi and Yang Biao. Their work included annals for emperors An and Shun, for the infants Chong and Zhi and for Emperor Huan, with biographies updated to the end of the reign of Emperor Huan in 168. It was at this time that the history acquired the name of Dongguan Hanji 㚲夁㹣奙, from the Eastern Pavilion of the Southern Palace, where the library and workrooms were located. In addition to the co-operative compilation, Cai Yong also composed ten Treatises from the official archives and from material passed to him by his former teacher Hu Guang. [These treatises were known as yi ぐ instead of zhi ⼘ to avoid taboo on the personal name of Emperor Huan.]
