Zhenchuan Zhengzong Qinpu / Qinpu Hebi
Authentically Transmitted Orthodox Qin Handbook / Qin Handbook Matched Well 1		 正傳正宗琴譜、琴譜合壁
1609

Qinpu Hebi Table of Contents

(The Table of Contents below is based on a modern facsimile edition of a qin handbook called 琴譜合壁 Qinpu Hebi, but it also forms a complete listing of all 63 entries from both editions of what in Volume VII of Qinqu Jicheng (QQJC; 1981) is called Zhenchuan Zhengzong Qinpu. All these editions consist of two parts, one called 楊掄太古遺音 Yang Lun Taigu Yiyin, the other 伯牙心法 Boya Xinfa. The modern facsimile edition was published in 2006 by Zhongguo Shudian based on 古吳李嘉遇梓 a woodblock printed by Old Wu's Li Jiayu, with no date given other than "during 萬歷 Wanli" (1573 - 1620). The two editions of Zhenchuan Zhengzong Qinpu included in QQJC VII are dated 1589 and 1609 respectively. QQJC re-prints the first in its entirety; for the second it includes only those melodies that were not already in the first edition (1589). None of the editions seems to have a Table of Contents. Nevertheless, by comparing the contents of Qinpu Hebi with that of the two editions in QQJC it can be seen that the Taigu Yiyin part of 1609 adds only a few small items apparently omitted from the 1589 edition, while the 1609 Boya Xinfa part adds 22 melodies. When looking at the Table of Contents below for the 1609 edition, one can assume that unless otherwise indicated the melodies were also included in the 1589 edition; page numbers are also given for the QQJC VII copies of the melodies.)

 
Yang Lun Taigu Yiyin (All its melodies have lyrics; compare Boya Xinfa, below)

(As in the edition of QQJC VII, the first three folios are part of a section called Taigu Yiyin [perhaps referring to the 1511 Taigu Yiyin, for which all the melodies also had lyrics]. Although the versions in this 1609 edition seem to have the same music and lyrics as those in the 1589 edition, they are somewhat re-ordered. For example, all the diaoyi kao are at the beginning. (All were probably in the original copy of the 1589 Yang Lun Taigu Yi Yin, but the edition in QQJC VII is missing three of them; it added one of these, Gong Yi Kao, from the 1609 edition). There are also more illustrations, in particular a few hand gestures and qin shapes.)
