Kanna Daiki

The Kanna Daiki [款大切; かんな・だいき], sometimes translated as the The Chronicles of Kanton, but more literally meaning 'Great Records of Kanton', is the second-oldest book of classical Kantonese history. The book is also called the Kanki [款切]. It is more elaborate and detailed than the Book of Ōhaki, the oldest discovered volume, and has proven to be an important tool for historians and archaeologists as it includes the most complete historical records of ancient Kanton. The Kanna Daiki was finished in 760 AD under the supervision of Prince Chio and was dedicated to the Empress Sakayu.
The Kanna Daiki begins with the Kantonese creation myth [muyō], explaining the origin of the world and the first generations of divine beings [starting with the birth of Kasshingami] and goes on to cover a number of myths as does the Ōhaki, continuing its accont through to the events of the 8th century. It is believed to accurately record the reigns of this period's Emperors. The Kanki shows a slight bias towards some rulers, focusing on their merits and virtues while emphasising or wholly fixating on the errors of others. It describes episodes from mythological legends. The Kanki also goes into precise detail on the creation of various Kiren gods, and other details of the Kiren religion as it existed at that time.
