  22. Chun Yun (春雲; also 春怨, 漢宮春, 漢宮春曉; XI/129)
    A subtitle says this used to be called "Chun Yuan Spring Lament" ("「雲」舊作「怨」"), suggesting that this should not be the earliest version of this melody. See also the 1760 afterword which suggests it was also in other handbooks and had been called Han Gong Chun Xiao but is unrelated to the earlier Chun Xiao Yin (images). However, noe of this seems to survive in any earlier handbooks. Zha Guide lists versions of this melody under three titles, Chun Yuan, Han Gong Chun and Han Gong Chun Xiao, but most if not all of them seem to be melodically unrelated to the present one.

    1. Chenbentang Qinpu (here); 角調 jue mode; 8 sections (1663; XI/129)
      "春雲 Chun Yun" but "雲舊作怨 yun of old called yuan", i.e., "old name 春怨 Chun Yuan"
    2. Deyintang Qinpu; 角音 jue mode; 9 sections ( 1691; XII/537)
      春怨 Chun Yuan; much like 1663 but divides Sec 8 in two

      漢宮春怨 Han Gong Chun Yuan; "白下沈雲舞" (?)
    4. Qinxiangtang Qinpu; 角音 jue mode; 10 sections (1760; XVII/66)
      漢宮春曉 Han Gong Chun Xiao; compare Sections 2 & 3 with 1663 #2; divides its 7-8 diff from 1663 #6-7. Afterword:
        "此曲舊題多作「漢宮春曉」，惟「德音堂」作「春怨」。然又別有羽音「春曉吟」。不當混作一。故從「德音堂」正之曰「漢宮春怨」。"
    5. Ziyuantang Qinpu; 角音 jue mode; 9 sections (1802; XVII/476)
      漢宮春 Han Gong Chun
