Jishi jiwen 繼世紀聞 "Records on hearsay over successive rules" is a historical book written during the mid-Ming period 明 (1368-1644) by Chen Hongmo 陳洪謨 (1474-1555), courtesy name Zongyu 宗禹, style Gaowuzi 高吾子, from Wuling 武陵, Hunan. Chen also wrote the book Zhishi yuwen 治世餘聞.
It concentrates on the events and observations from Emperor Wuzong's 明武宗 reign (r. 1505–1521). The book offers detailed accounts of the Ming dynasty’s relations with peoples and tribes in the northwestern border regions, especially in areas such as Hami 哈密 and Turpan 吐魯番. It is regarded as having important historical significance.
The author describes the reign of Emperor Wuzong as "successive [i.e., non-active] generation" (jishi 繼世) because Wuzong neglected governance during his reign, resulting in internal disorder and external threats. Chen Hongmo subtly expresses his discontent with these issues through this title. The book contains detailed descriptions of the eunuch Liu Jin's 劉瑾 (1451-1510) monopolisation of power, the rebellion of Zhu Chenhao 朱宸濠, the Prince of Ning 寧王 (1476-1521), the peasant uprisings led by Liu Liu 劉六 and Liu Qi 劉七 in 1511, as well as the Ming dynasty's interactions with tribes in the northwestern frontier.
Due to its thorough accounts, the work is considered an important primary source for studying the history of the high Ming period.
