Tangjian 唐鑒 (唐鑑) "Mirror of the Tang dynasty" is a historical critique to the Tang period 唐 (618-907) written by the Song period 宋 (960-1279) scholar Fan Zuyu 范祖禹 (1041－1098) and commented by Lü Zuqian 呂祖謙 (1137－1181). The book itself is 12 juan long, including the commentary 24 juan.
Although it attracted a wide readership, it was also criticized for including the reign of Empress Wu 武則天 (r. 690-704) into the reign of Emperor Zhongzong 唐中宗 (r. 683-684, 705-709) instead of treating her reign as an own ruler.
There are small-character prints from the Song and Yuan 元 (1279-1368) periods. The print from 1497 is included in the series Jinhua congshu 金華叢書.
