Wang Ji

There was a man living by the sea-shore who loved seagulls. Every morning he went down to the sea to roam with the seagulls, and more birds came to him than you could count in hundreds.

His father said to him: 'I hear the seagulls all come roaming with you. Bring me some to play with.'

Next day, when he went down to the sea, the seagulls danced above him and would not come down.

Therefore it is said: 'The utmost in speech is to be rid of speech, the utmost doing is Doing Nothing.' What common knowledge knows is shallow.

Sources for this story along with other references are given under 1620 as well as the below. There are also other versions of this story, for example, according to one⁵ the old man himself never noticed the birds as he fished, so they came right up to him. One night he decided he should catch one, but the next day when he went out the birds would not come near. In his own preface Zhu Quan seems to combine both of these two stories.

This title (with several variants) has been very popular, appearing in 48 surviving handbooks from 1425 to 1961.⁶ However, only the first five (plus two related versions with other titles) to 1585 are musically related to the melody played here.⁷ The other 41 evolved from a completely unrelated Oulu Wang Ji (Seabirds [trust those with] No Ulterior Motives) first published in 1620. This latter melody became the version still played today, still usually called Oulu Wangji.⁸ Xilutang Qintong (1525) has the old version but also calls it Oulu Wangji. The other two titles for surviving versions of the old melody are Teng Liu Yin⁹ (Melody of Teng Liu, deity of snow), and Jin Shan Yin¹⁰ (Completed Skills Intonation).

The reputed creator of the melody, Liu Zhifang,¹¹ from Tiantai in Zhejiang province, is also credited with a piece called Wujiang Yin.¹² He was a student of Guo Chuwang and thus one of the qin players in the Zhe(jiang) School of the Southern Song Dynasty, which flourished in Hangzhou during the 12th and 13th centuries. Yang Zan, who collected a large number of qin pieces in his now-lost Rosy Cloud Cave Handbook, was particularly impressed when he heard Guo's pieces in the shang mode.¹³

Other than my own, there are no other recordings of any of the early versions of this theme.¹⁴

Original Preface¹⁵

The Emaciated Immortal says

this piece was created in the Song dynasty by Mr. Liu Zhifang of Tiantai. Some say its meaning follows that of Liezi's story about the Old Man of the Sea, who had no ulterior motives, and so birds didn't fly (away from him). The fingers are used to achieve this. Perhaps it has the same flavor as sitting down and forgetting meanings.

Footnotes (Shorthand references are explained on a separate page)

1. Wang Ji references
10543.54 忘機 Wang Ji says "心無紛競，淡焉漠焉，謂之忘機 being calm and detached is called wangji". There are two quotes, one from a poem by 儲光義 Chu Guangyi (should be 儲光羲 Chu Guangxi, fl. 846; ICTCL), the other a poem by Li Bai. No mention of qin.

Oulu Wang Ji references
When it comes to qin melodies, the Wang Ji story always concerns seabirds/seagulls, for which the various accounts/titles use several different terms (these ZWDCD references have no images):

海鷗 haiou (17933.503 "海鳥名 name of a seabird"; its third reference, from Wang Wei, may allude to this story)
漚鳥 ouniao (18518.10 "既鷗鳥也 same as ouniao", quoting the original Liezi text)
鷗鷺 oulu (48240.40 "鷗與鷺也 ou and lu"; earliest reference given is a poem by Bai Juyi)

48240.41 鷗鷺忘機 Oulu Wang Ji says .41/1: "謂人無機心者，能便異類亦相與狎近也 this refers to people without ulterior motives being able to make things with which they are not related become familiar". It then cites three references: the Book of Liezi story, Li Shangyin and Chen Yuyi, as follows:

The Yellow Emperor chapter of Liezi (original text below) has the earliest known version of this story. It calls the seabirds ouniao rather than oulu, and there is no mention of wang ji; the conclusion there is that" 齊智之所知，則淺矣 common knowledge is shallow".
太倉箴 Caicang Zhen, which says that "海翁忘機，鷗故不飛 because the old man of the sea forgot his ulterior motives the seabirds as a result did not fly away". Perhaps this is the first specific connection made between "wang ji" and the Liezi story
陳與義，詩 A poem by Chen Yuyi (1090-1138) that says, "知公已忘機，鷗鷺宛停峙。 Knowing the duke no longer had ulterior motives the seabirds obligingly stopped (?)."

After this 48240.41/2 says "古琴曲名 old qin melody title".

2. Shang mode (商調 shang diao)
Standard tuning is also considered as 5 6 1 2 3 5 6. For further information on shang mode see Shenpin Shang Yi and Modality in Early Ming Qin Tablature.

3. The original tablature from Shen Qi Mi Pu (enlarge) A bird like this?
Copied from QQJC I/137.

As for including a picture of seagulls or seabirds, see further comment on the image at right with the separate entry for Oulu Wang Ji. Basically it says that the location ("海上 on the sea") and type of bird ("漚鳥 ouniao") are not completely clear.
(Return)

4. Liezi 列子 (Wiki: book and person; CTP, 列子，黃帝 11)
Quoted from the translation by AC Graham, p. 45-6. The original text is as follows (note that "seabirds" are called 漚鳥 ouniao; ref. above),

海上之人有好漚鳥者，每旦之海上，從漚鳥游，漚鳥之至者百住而不止。
其父曰：「吾聞漚鳥皆從汝游，汝取來，吾玩之。」
明日之海上，漚鳥舞而不下也。
故曰：至言去言，至為無為；齊智之所知，則淺矣。

Liezi is the name of a person (also known as 列禦寇 Lie Yukou) and of his book, also called The Book of Liezi.

There are three relevant entries in the Zha Guide; see details in the appendix below.

7. Tracing the old version of Wang Ji
The four versions of the apparently Song dynasty Wang Ji melody, plus the three related melodies listed at the top of the Appendix below, are in handbooks dated:

1425 (Wang Ji; 2 sections)
1525 (Oulu Wang Ji; 3 sections)
1539 (Wang Ji; identical to 1425)
1552 (Teng Liu Yin; 3 sections)
1557 (Teng Liu Yin; identical to 1551)
1561 (Jin Shan Yin; 2 sections)
1585 (Wang Ji; 2, lyrics, gong mode and rather different, but still related to 1425)

Note that although there is no version in the existing >1505 handbook, the lyrics from 1585 can be made to fit the 1425 version (Section 1, badly; Section 2, easily). This perhaps suggests that the original edition of >1505 included this melody.
(Return)

8. No Ulterior Motives regarding Seabirds (modern version, from 1620; separate entry)
Gong or yu mode: 5 6 1 2 3 5 6 鷗鷺忘機
Oulu Wang Ji

The version of Oulu Wang Ji played today also uses standard tuning, but is otherwise musically unrelated to the earlier one described above. As can be seen from the chart below (based largely on Zha Guide 4/42/64) versions of this melody survive in over 40 handbooks from 1620 to 1961, though some of the later melodies listed in the Guide also seem unrelated, such as the one in Youshengshe Qinpu, while others may still be related but are very different, such as the one in Songfengge Qinpu (1677, regarding which see also Wuxue Shanfang Qinpu (1836).

(Further commentary on the modern version has now been moved to a separate entry).

9. 滕六吟 Teng Liu Yin (Intonation of Teng Liu, deity of snow)
18466.2 Teng Liu 滕六﹕雪神名。見古書《幽怪錄》。 This version of Wang Ji survives only in 太音傳習 Taiyin Chuanxi (1551; QQJC IV/63) and Taiyin Buyi (1557; QQJC III/327); the two are identical, and both are used as a prelude to Bai Xue (White Snow). An old story book called Youguai Lu (幽怪錄 9411.59xx uncanny, spooky) tells of a deer, knowing a notorious hunter is after him, who prays to the diety of snow. The next day there is heavy wind and snow so the hunter does not come out.
(Return)

10. 盡善吟 Jin Shan Yin (Intonation of the Perfectly Good)
23556.36 盡善 jin shan refers to .37 盡善盡美 (perfectly beautiful and perfectly good), quoting Lun Yu, 八佾 Bayi/25 (D. C. Lau, p. 27). In that passage Confucius uses these terms to describe the Shao music of Emperor Shun. This version of Wang Ji survives only in Qinpu Zhengchuan (1561; QQJC II/517), where it has two sections and is used as a prelude to Xiaoshao Jiucheng Fenghuang Laiyi.
(Return)

11. Attribution to 劉志方 Liu Zhifang
Later versions that seem musically unrelated to the present version are also sometimes attributed to Liu, who was from 天台 Tian Tai, near the coast about 150 km southeast of Hangzhou. He is mentioned in Xu Jian p. 89 (Chapter 6a3) as follows: 郭楚望; 楊瓚; 紫霞洞譜十三卷; 毛敏仲; 吳江吟. Xu Jian gives as reference a 胡長孺，紫外譜琴序.
(Return)

12. Wujiang Yin 吳江吟
Wujiang is a town about 25 km south of Suzhou. 3453.xxx has no references to music, nor is this title included in any handbooks or melody lists.
