Việt Điện U Linh Tập
Việt Điện U Linh Tập Collection of Stories on the Shady and Spiritual World of the Viet Realm) is a history of Vietnam written in Chinese compiled by Lý Tế Xuyên during the 14th century Trần dynasty.
The English "Viet Realm" derives from alternative Chinese characters designating Vietnam under the Chinese domination as Jiaozhi. Chinese sources tend to use the Chinese title Yuedian whereas Vietnamese sources tend to use the title Việt Điện. The use differs in selection of different chữ Hán characters for Viet/Yue. The text gives not only a commentated history of historical figures, but also their roles as spirits in the afterlife according to the traditions developed in Vietnam's Mahayana Buddhism.
