四庫全書簡明目錄子部十二云：舊本或題漢劉歆撰，或題晉葛洪撰，實則梁吳均撰。但餘嘉錫四庫提要辨證子部七考定為葛洪作。今存。

The Concise Catalogue of the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries, masters section twelve, says: old editions ascribe it sometimes to Liu Xin of Han, sometimes to Ge Hong of Jin; in fact it was written by Wu Jun of Liang. But Yu Jiaxi's Critical Examination of the Siku Abstracts, masters section seven, establishes that it is the work of Ge Hong. Extant today.

漢武內傳一卷隋志不著撰人。文廷式補晉志云：日本見在書目題葛洪，今從之。餘嘉錫四庫提要辨證子部七考定為晉葛洪撰。今存道藏洞真部記傳類。

Esoteric Traditions of Emperor Wu of Han, one scroll. The Sui Treatise does not record an author. Wen Tingshi's Supplementary Jin Treatise says: the Japanese Catalogue of Books Presently Extant ascribes it to Ge Hong; we follow it now. Yu Jiaxi's Critical Examination of the Siku Abstracts, masters section seven, establishes that it was written by Ge Hong of Jin. Now extant in the Daozang, in the records-and-biographies section of the Cavern of the Real division.

'Song of the True Lord Taiyi on Securing Destiny' (Taiyi Zhenjun Guming Ge), one scroll. See the Song bibliographic treatise.

抱朴子別旨一篇通志略。今存道藏太清部。蓋後人掇輯吐納導引之訣而成，殆與胎息術相類。

'Separate Purport of Baopuzi' (Baopuzi Biezhi), one piece. See the abstract of the Tongzhi. It survives today in the Taiqing division of the Daoist Canon. Probably it was patched together by later men from the oral formulas of breathing-out-and-in and guiding-and-stretching, roughly of the same kind as the embryonic-breathing arts.

'Essential Formulas of Embryonic Breathing' (Taixi Yaojue), one scroll. See the abstract of the Tongzhi.

'Miscellaneous Formulas of Concealment and Vanishing' (Yinlun Zajue), one scroll. See the Song bibliographic treatise. Wang Ming notes: the 'Miscellaneous Responses' chapter of Baopuzi answers questions about the way of concealment and vanishing; perhaps that is the basis of these miscellaneous formulas.

元始上真眾仙記一卷宋志。今存道藏洞真部譜■類。劉師培讀道藏記云：此書“次行題葛洪枕中記五字，中志各仙官位號及治所，即今所傳枕中記也”。

'Record of the Host of Supreme Perfected Immortals of the Primal Beginning' (Yuanshi Shangzhen Zhongxian Ji), one scroll. See the Song bibliographic treatise. It survives today in the register class of the Dongzhen division of the Daoist Canon (the base text is defective at this character). Liu Shipei's 'Notes on Reading the Daoist Canon' says: in this book the next line bears the five characters 'Ge Hong's Record Within the Pillow'; within it are recorded the offices, titles, and seats of governance of the various immortal officers — it is the 'Record Within the Pillow' (Zhenzhong Ji) transmitted today.

明案：道藏洞神部方法類另有枕中記一卷，言養生接命之術，與眾仙記內容迥異。通志略著錄唐孫思邈枕中記一卷，未知孰是。四庫全書總目提要云：枕中書一卷，舊本題晉葛洪撰。考隋、唐、宋藝文志但有墨子枕中記及枕中素書，而無葛洪枕中書。此本（枕中書）一名元始上真眾仙記。餘嘉錫四庫提要辨證卷十九謂枕中書提到許穆與許玉斧，而洪當長於穆，許玉斧更其後輩，二人之去世，洪皆不及見，安得取而著之書中。是枕中書（上真眾仙記）之“不出於（葛）洪亦明矣”。餘先生之說是。

Wang Ming notes: in the methods class of the Dongshen division of the Daoist Canon there is separately a 'Record Within the Pillow' in one scroll, which treats the arts of nourishing life and receiving destiny, and its content differs entirely from the 'Record of the Host of Immortals.' The abstract of the Tongzhi records a 'Record Within the Pillow' in one scroll by Sun Simiao of Tang; it is not known which of these is meant. The General Catalogue with Abstracts of the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries says: 'Book Within the Pillow,' one scroll; the old edition attributes it to Ge Hong of Jin. On examination, the bibliographic treatises of Sui, Tang, and Song contain only 'Mozi: Record Within the Pillow' and 'Plain Book Within the Pillow,' and no 'Book Within the Pillow' by Ge Hong. This version ('Book Within the Pillow') is also called 'Record of the Supreme Perfected Host of Immortals of the Primal Beginning.' Yu Jiaxi's 'Critical Examination of the Siku Abstracts,' scroll nineteen, says that the 'Book Within the Pillow' mentions Xu Mu and Xu Yufu, whereas Hong must have been older than Mu, and Xu Yufu was even more his junior; the deaths of these two men Hong did not live to see — how could he have taken them up and written them into the book? Thus it is plain that the 'Book Within the Pillow' ('Shangzhen Zhongxian Ji') 'did not come from Hong's hand.' Mr. Yu's view is correct.
