Qinyoutang suilu 勤有堂隨錄

Qinyoutang suilu 勤有堂隨錄 "Casual records from the Hall of Diligence" is a "brush-notes"-style book (biji 筆記) written during the Yuan period 元 (1276-1368) by Chen Li 陳櫟 (1252-1334), courtesy name Shouweng 壽翁, style Dingyu Xiansheng 定宇先生, from Xiuning 休寧 (in present-day Anhui province). He also wrote the Classical study Shangshu jizhuan zuanshu 尚書集傳纂疏.

The book of 1 juan length mainly discusses issues of Song and early Yuan periods, the author discusses the origins of their learning and the strengths and weaknesses of their writings with substance and insight. Much of his commentary is valuable—for instance, he states that Liu Chenweng's 劉辰翁 (1232-1297) observing seven years of mourning for his father was a case of eccentric behavior meant to attract attention, a fair and balanced judgment rather than a sectarian bias. The book also contains points open to debate, such as the claim that Chen Anqing 陳安卿 was the foremost figure of the school of Zhu Xi at the time, or the misjudgments concerning Huang Zhiqing 黃直卿 (i.e., Huang Gan 黃榦; 1152-1221) and Li Fangzi 李方子 (1169-1226). To say that Yang Chengzhai 楊誠齋 (Yang Wanli 楊萬里; 1127-1206) was merely a product of idle temperament seems dismissive. Still, the accounts of the origins and development of Neo-Confucian thinkers are often well-founded and can serve as useful references.

The text is included in the series Xuehai leibian 學海類編, Siku quanshu 四庫全書 and Congshu jicheng chubian 叢書集成初編.
