Adding link for information on the Shoku Nihongi
*''Japanese:'' 続日本紀

The Shoku Nihongi is a continuation of the earlier [[Nihongi]] (日本紀), aka Nihon Shoki. It covers the period from 697 to 771, and is one of the primary sources for information on the [[Nara Period]], when Japan was in close contact with mainland China and importing culture and learning through numerous embassies.
