| 陳居士 Master Chen's tablature explanations (QQJC I/91 bottom) | (This web page begins with the 9th column from the right of this image 4) |
This section begins with the statement 唐陳居士聽聲數，應指法，并注譜絕. It then continues with the fingering explanations. First comes the name of the technique, This is followed by the shorthand tablature version, inside the red circles at right but represented below by underlines if they cannot be written by computer: "___" (or if possible separate elements might be substituted). After this is the explanation of the technique, usually represented below by "....", as very few have been copied or translated here. There may be a link to a translation or other related details elsewhere.

See comments with right hand technique explanations.
Note also that these explanations are not at all complete. For example, ones that I have not yet found in this handbook include:
There are explanations for these in later handbooks but I am not sure if this means they are relatively later techniques.

"Master Chen" is apparently a reference to 陳康士
Chen Kangshi. The Chinese title here actually says, "唐陳居士聽聲數，應指法，并注譜絕 Master Chen of the Tang dynasty heard a lot of music, responded by (writing it down using the) finger techniques, and also explained the marvels of this tablature."
See comments concerning the structure of the original text.

Images from this Taigu Yiyin are easier to follow than the same material from Qinqu Jicheng, at right.
