Longjin fengsui pan 龍筋鳳髓判 "Judgings like dragon thews and phoenix marrow" is an encyclopaedia compiled during the Tang period 唐 (618-907) by Zhang Zu 張鷟 (c. 660-741). Zhang Zu was famous for his literary talent and was called Qingqian Xueshi 青錢學士 "Green Cash Scholar" for the beauty of his poetry. He has also written the unofficial history Chaoye qianzai 朝野僉載.
Very respected at his own time, he dared compiling a literary encyclopaedia providing a critical overview of the literature of his own time. He used rhymed verses for the text and thus also gave examples of good poetry worth imitating by the average writer. The book is divided into 51 chapters arranged according to state offices. There was a very detailed original commentary to the text of the 4-juan-scrolls long book which was reconstructed during the Ming period 明 (1368-1644) by Liu Yunpeng 劉允鵬. Of the original 10 juan, only 52 sub-chapters have survived.
The oldest surviving print was produced during the Wanli reign-period 萬曆 (1573-1619). The National Library (Guojia Tushuguan 國家圖書館) owns a print from the Hongzhi reign-period 弘治 (1488-1505). The Longjin fengsui pan is included in the series Huhailou congshu 湖海樓叢書 and Siku quanshu 四庫全書.
