The Book of Zhou (Zhōu Shū) records the official history of the Chinese/Xianbei dynasty Northern Zhou, and ranks among the official Twenty-Four Histories of imperial China. Compiled by the Tang Dynasty historian Linghu Defen, the work was completed in 636 and consists of 50 chapters, some of which have been lost and replaced from other sources.
The book is criticised for its attempt to glorify the ancestors of Tang Dynasty officials of the time.
