The Book of Song, a historical text of the Liu Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties of China, covers history from 420 to 479, and is one of the Twenty-four Histories, a traditional collection of historical records.
It is written in 492–493 by Shen Yue from the Southern Qi dynasty.
The work contains one hundred volumes at the time that it is written, but some volumes will already be missing by the time of the Song Dynasty.
Later editors will reconstruct those volumes by taking material from the History of the Southern Dynasties, plus a few works such as the Historiette of Gao by Gao Jun, though many of those volumes will no longer be in their original condition.
