Das Buch der Chen chinesisch 陳書, Pinyin Chén Shū, englisch Book of Chen, Pe̍h-ōe-jī Tân-su The Book of Chen or Chen Shu (Chén Shū) was the official history of the Chen dynasty, one of the Southern Dynasties of China. It ranks among the official Twenty-Four Histories of imperial China, and was compiled by the Tang dynasty historian Yao Silian, completed in 636.
Similar to Book of Liang, it heavily relied on Yao Silian's father Yao Cha's original manuscript.
The book is one of the more complete extant records of the Chen dynasty. However, it has been criticised for attempting to cover up the wrongdoings of the royal family.Vorlage:Citation needed A commentary by the Tang prime minister Wei Zheng, which is also included in the book, contradicts some of the claims made in the book.Vorlage:Citation needed

In addition to his use of Yao Cha's previous work, Yao Silian relied by contemporary court diaries by Gu Yewang 顧野王 (519-581) and Fu Zai 傅縡 (531-585) and an earlier text also named Chen shu 陳書, compiled by Lu Qiong 陸瓊 (537-586).[1] Vorlage:Sfnp
