Bao Pu Zi Nei Pian (抱朴子內篇) · Volume 14

明案：此蓋抱朴子引玉策記，非葛洪所撰之玉策記也。徐堅初學記卷二十九狐第十三條引抱朴子玉策記曰：“狐及狸狼，皆壽八百歲，滿三百歲暫變為人形”。正是抱朴子對俗篇引玉策記之語（參校敦煌殘卷文字）。遐覽篇已著錄玉策記一卷，足徵葛洪曾見其書。而初學記始誤以玉策記屬抱朴子。嚴可均鐵橋漫稿卷六雲此記恐後人依託之書。亦不確。餘意並非後人有意假託，實乃唐人徐堅輩誤題耳。

Wang Ming notes: this is probably the 'Record of the Jade Slips' quoted by the Baopuzi, not a 'Record of the Jade Slips' composed by Ge Hong. Xu Jian's 'Record for Beginning Learning,' scroll twenty-nine, the thirteenth entry on foxes, quotes 'Baopuzi's Record of the Jade Slips' as saying: 'Foxes, wildcats, and wolves all live to eight hundred years; at a full three hundred years they can temporarily change into human form.' This is precisely the passage that the 'Reply to the Vulgar' chapter of Baopuzi quotes from the 'Record of the Jade Slips' (compare the text of the Dunhuang fragments). The 'Far-Ranging Survey' chapter already lists a 'Record of the Jade Slips' in one scroll, sufficient proof that Ge Hong had seen that book. It was the 'Record for Beginning Learning' that mistakenly ascribed the 'Record of the Jade Slips' to Baopuzi. Yan Kejun's 'Informal Drafts of Tieqiao,' scroll six, says this record was probably a work attributed by later men — that too is not accurate. My view is not that later men deliberately forged the attribution, but truly that Xu Jian's generation of Tang men mistitled it.
