Hanmo yingxiong zhuan 漢末英雄傳 "Heroic biographies of the late Han period", also called Hanmo yingxiong ji 漢末英雄記, is a collection of biographies of persons living during the transition period from the Later Han 後漢 (25-220 CE) to the Wei 曹魏 (220-265). The book was compiled by the scholar Wang Can 王粲 (117-217), one of the so-called Seven masters of the Jian'an reign (Jian'an qizi 建安七子).
The book was already partially lost during the Tang period 唐 (618-907), when of the 10 juan only 8 survived. The surviving parts include the biographies of 44 persons in Wang Shizhen's 王世貞 (1526-1590) version and 55 in the version Huang Shi 黄奭 (1809-1853) had at hand, like that of Cao Cao 曹操 (155-220), Zhang Jian 張儉 (115-198), Lü Bu 呂布 (d. 198), Gongsun Zan 公孫瓚 (d. 199) or Yuan Shao 袁紹 (d. 202).
The book is included in the series Hanxuetang congshu 漢學堂叢書, Han-Wei congshu 漢魏叢書, Shuofu 說郛 and Wuchao xiaoshu 五朝小説, where the title is Yingxiong jichao 英雄記鈔, which is quite probably also the original title of the book.
