又名《国老闲谈》。笔记。宋王铚撰。二卷。铚有《默记》已著录。是编所记乃北宋太祖、太宗、真宗三朝典故、轶事、趣闻、杂谈。于当时大夫有所毁誉。如推重田锡,贬斥陶谷,间或抑扬不当,大都据实可信。其中记范质不受赂遗、窦仪议令皇弟开封府尹敕、赵普请从征上党、曹彬平蜀回朝囊中唯有图书等条,皆入《宋史》本传。叙事详瞻,文章优美。写人物有血有肉,个性各异;记人言语,选择得当。如录陶谷“一代不如一代”语,讽北宋政治每况愈下;寇准“愁情不断如春水”诗句,褒其自幼忧国忧民之志,皆文如其人。丁谓、李维对诗:“陶铸复陶铸,斋郎又挽郎”,“自然堪泪下,何必更残阳”,无不与政治攸关。卷上多君臣对话,卷下以名人轶事为主。褒多于贬,重在劝善。有《百川学海》本,《四库全书》本,《历代小史》本。
