Lingwai Daida and Zhufan Zhi: Song Accounts of Agarwood Trade

Two works

Lingwai Daida by Zhou Qufei (1178) and Zhufan Zhi by Zhao Rukuo (1225) describe Lingnan and maritime foreign lands.

Agarwood

Both note Champa, Chenla, Srivijaya and others producing agarwood and sandalwood, with shipping routes and tributary trade—evidence of agarwood on the Maritime Silk Road.

Value

Firsthand Song sources, heavily cited for early maritime and aromatic trade history.

Compiled for general knowledge; traditional references are cultural notes, not medical advice.
