History of Yuan
The "History of Yuan" was first commissioned by the Hongwu Emperor in the second year of his reign (1369), using materials such as the court historical records of the Yuan dynasty, which were stored in Khanbaliq and captured by Xu Da. A team of 16, led by Song Lian with contributions from Wang Yi () (1321-1372), Zhao Xun (), Li Shanchang, and others, compiled the first draft of the history within months.
