Việt Điện U Linh Tập
Việt Điện U Linh Tập ( ) is a collection of Vietnamese history written in Chinese (chữ nho) compiled by Lý Tế Xuyên in 1329.

The English "Viet Realm" (or "Yue Territory") derives from alternative Chinese characters designating Vietnam under the Chinese domination as Jiaozhi. Chinese sources tend to use the Chinese title Yuedian (粵甸, Yue as in Nanyue) whereas Vietnamese sources tend to use the title Việt Điện (越甸). The use differs in selection of different chữ Hán characters for Viet/Yue. The text gives not only a commentated history of historical figures, but also their roles as spirits in the afterlife according to the traditions developed in Vietnam's Mahayana Buddhism. The text also cited from contributions of Tang dynasty author Zhao Chang (fl. 791–802) and Zeng Gun (f. 866–897) who ruled the Protectorate General to Pacify the South (northern Vietnam).
