Duan Qing |
Duan Qing, like Chang Qing, is listed among the Four Pieces of Xi Kang (223 - 262). In surviving qin handbooks Duan Qing is always paired with Chang Qing, but it occurs less often, surviving in only five handbooks to 1557 (Chang Qing is in nine to 1602). Then, as with Chang Qing, the 1425 Duan Qing is copied in Qinxue Congshu (1910) with rhythmic indications added.4
There is a recording of Duan Qing available on a CD by Wang Huade of the Sichuan school. The introduction there makes reference only to the Shen Qi Mi Pu version. However, after the opening, the actual music seems to be quite different.5
