The Lushi (Chinese: 路史, Grand History), formerly known as the Lopi, is an unofficial history of China written by Southern Song Dynasty scholar Luo Mi or Luo Bi (Chinese: 罗泌; 1131 – c. 1189), with key assistance from his son Luo Ping (Chinese: 罗苹). As Lushi mixes historical facts with legends and folklore, its reliability has been disputed by historians. However, it is a valuable work for the study of ancient Chinese mythology.[1] The extant version of Lushi was assembled by the later scholars based on Luo's work.[2]
