目錄 Table of Contents

At present this table of contents mentions the essays but does not list them separately. It then follows the order in QQJC X by listing first the 60 melodies published in the original Huiyan Mizhi, then from Huiyan Mizhi Ding listing only the 16 melodies it added or revised. Huiyan Mizhi Ding, as re-published in a modern facsimile edition, groups all the pieces together; it has only 73 entries as it does not include the original versions of three revised melodies, #61, #69 and #73.2

          (in 1705 [XIII/331], ≥1802 [XIX/84] and 1876 [=1705])
    No commentary here but 1705 connects it to attitude of Confucius; 47030.80: only 魯風鞋 Lu Feng Xie

  66. Qiao Yao Ge (X/268)

    (Zhi mode)

  70. Lan Ke Xing (X/277)
    7 sections; only here, 1691 and 1876

  71. Sumen Chang Xiao (X/279)
    7 sections; earliest (?) of six, the next being 1691, 1705, 1802, 1876 and 1894.

  72. An Le Wo Ge (安樂窩 Nest of Peace and Joy; X/281)
    #76 below has the same title and lyrics but is a completely different tune;
    4 sections; lyrics by Shao Yong are placed at the end of each section instead of directly paired. See also:
      - 1691 (XII/584; as below but pairs words) and
      - 1878 (XXIV/missing); Section 1 of Xing Xin Ji (1585 IV/354) has this title but is unrelated.

    7221.491 安樂窩 An Le Wo refers to the home of 邵康節, i.e., Shao Yong. For this, William Dolby, Chinese Allusions, An-Le Wo, has:

    "'Nest of Peace and Joy', 'Peace-and-joy Nest'. This refers to the name which Shao Yung (1011-1077) gave to his house. It is alluded to as a synonym for: i) a place for avoiding governmental society and living an untrammelled, reclusive life,
    ii) a tranquil easy-life dwelling-place,
    iii) a place where politicians go to avoid the calamities and dangers of political life,
    iv) a peaceful home (/ -garden)."

    Shao Yong's lyrics for the four sections (each originally [7+7]x10) are:

    1. 安樂窩中詩一編,自歌自詠自怡然。
      陶鎔水石閑勳業,銓擇風花靜事權。
      意去乍乘千里馬,興來初上九重天。
      忺時更改三兩字,醉後吟哦五七篇。
      直恐心通雲外月,又疑身是洞中仙。
      銀河洶湧翻晴浪,玉樹查牙生紫煙。
      萬物有情皆可狀,百骸無病不能蠲。
      命題濫被神相助,得句謬為人所傳。
      肯讓貴家常奏樂,寧慙富室賸收錢。
      若條此過知何限,因甚臺官獨未言。

    2. 安樂窩中一部書,號為皇極意何如?
      春秋禮樂能遺則,父子君臣可廢乎?
      浩浩羲軒開闢後,巍巍堯舜協和初。
      炎炎湯武干戈外,洶洶桓文弓劍余。
      日月星辰高照耀,皇王帝伯大鋪舒。
      幾千百主出規制,數億萬年成楷模。
      治久便憂強跋扈,慮深仍念惡驅除。
      才堪命世有時有,智可濟時無時無。
      既往盡歸閒指點,未來須俟別支梧。
      不知造化誰為主,生得許多奇丈夫。

    3. 安樂窩中一炷香,凌晨焚炷豈尋廠。
      禍如許免人須謟,福若待求天可量。
      且異緇黃徼廟貌,又殊兒女裊衣裳。
      中孚起信寧煩禱,無妄生災未易禳。
      虛室清冷都是白,靈台瑩靜別生光。
      觀風御寇心方醉,對景顏淵坐正忘。
      赤水有珠涵造化,泥丸無物隔青蒼。
      生為男子仍身健,時遇昌辰更歲穰。
      日月照臨功自大,君臣庇癊效何長。
      非徒聞道至於此,金玉誰家不滿堂。

    4. 安樂窩中酒一樽,非惟養氣更怡眞。
      頻頻到口微成醉,拍拍滿懷都是春。
      何異君臣初際會,又如天地乍絪縕。
      醺酣情味難名狀,醞釀功夫莫指陳。
      斟有淺深存燮理,飮無多少寄經綸。
      卷舒萬世興亾手,出入千山雲外身。
      雨後靜觀山意思,風前閒看月精神。
      這般事業權衡別,振古英雄恐未聞。

    (#4 is said to have only eight lines because two lines were omitted from the middle, but I have not yet seen a version that includes those lines.)

    Not yet translated.

    (Yu mode)

  73. Han Gong Qiu (X/283)
    10 sections; revision of above; related to earlier

  74. Cantong Qie (X/286)
    8 sections; "earliest version"
    only here; #75 is quite different

  75. Cantong Qie (X/288)
    8 sections; "as fixed in later years"; the same version is in
    1691 (XII/574) and 1876 (XXV/319)

    (Huangzhong mode)

  76. An Le Wo Ge (X/290)
    4 sections; lyrics at the end of each section; same lyrics but completely different melody from #72 above
    Same melody and lyrics in 1691 (XXV/605), 1876 (XII/584) & perhaps 1878 (XXVI/missing), but for the latter they are paired next to the tablature instead of placed at the end

    Afterword (X/293)

 
Footnotes (Shorthand references are explained on a separate page)

1. Table of Contents for Huiyan Mizhi (1647)
Pages as in QQJC Volume X. This also includes melodies from Huiyan Mizhi Ding, but some handbooks say their version comes from Yin Ertao (usually referring to him as 尹芝仙 Yin Zhixian or just Zhixian), and yet the melody is not in either of these two editions (example). I do not know whether this means that there was at least one more edition of Huiyan Mizhi or if that was a mistake.
