Quick answerWas Lý Hư Trung mệnh thư written by Lý Hư Trung?
The Đề yếu Tứ khố toàn thư suspects that the book already existed in the Tang but was added to by Song-era hands who borrowed the name of Lý Hư Trung. Three reasons are given: the opening section uses only year, month and day, matching Hàn Dũ's tomb inscription; the second half discusses the four pillars, a way of speaking that begins in the Song; and the official titles in the book mostly belong to the Song.
