拾遗记

《拾遗记》，又名《拾遗录》﹑《王子年拾遗记》，东晋安阳人王嘉所撰，共十卷。

《拾遗记》是前秦方士王嘉创作的神话志怪小说集，相传秦灭六国之际，各国宫室损毁使得皇族文献与史料散肄，王嘉把残文搜罗起来起名为《拾遗记》，因为以保存一切为重点所以其中不论多荒诞神怪的残篇皆收录，其中与《山海经》重复的部分都删去，有许多是《山海经》都没有的奇闻，但最大不同为不仅仅像《山海经》的土风录有时还包含一些皇家密录和政治内容、神仙修道、神仙言行之类的人物故事。

《拾遗记》问世以来，“不列学官，不收秘阁”，二百二十篇皆残缺不全。前九卷记自上古庖牺氏、神农氏至东晋各代的历史异闻，古史部分很多是奇形怪异的神话。汉魏以下也有许多纯为谣言传闻，为正史所不载。末一卷则记昆仑等八座仙山。书中还记载“贯月槎”“沦波舟”、“飞剑”、“机妍”，想象力天马行空，刘勰赞其“事丰奇伟，辞富膏腴”。

翻刻

现存最早刻本是明嘉靖十三年（公元1534年）世德堂的翻宋本。另有《稗海》本，与世德堂本出入很大，目前无人能考究两本间的正确率与当初元祖版本的差异。

Shi Yi Ji (Chinese: 拾遺記; pinyin: Shíyí Jì) is a Chinese mythological / historical treatise compiled by the Taoist scholar Wang Jia (died 390). The title of the work has been variously translated into English as Record of Heretofore Lost Works, Researches into Lost Records, Record of Gleanings, or Forgotten Tales.

The verb shiyi (拾遺) is translated by modern dictionaries as "to appropriate lost property", or, when used in book titles, "to make up for omissions". Accordingly, the work is based on "apocryphal" versions of early (legendary) Chinese history, which must have been produced during the Eastern Han dynasty. For example, Shi Yi Ji's version of the story of Yu the Great has a yellow dragon and a black turtle helping Yu to create the geographical features of China, and to name them – details not found in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
