Section 4: List of Handbooks Not Indexed
from the Guide to Existing Guqin Pieces in Tablature |
未收和不收的譜集
From Cunjian Guqin Qupu Jilan |
Zha Fuxi's list of 35 handbooks not included1 does not include all other known handbooks.2 And some are now available through the publication of books in the collection of the Shanghai Library.3
Sha Fuxi's list is organized in 7 columns: handbook name, number of folios (below: 2F = 2 folios; NF = not divided into folios), compiler/editor, nickname, reason it is not included, comments. There is further comment on this list here. Seven of these are now in the 2010 QQJC; two others (1571 and 1937) are in Qin Fu (to find these nine search this page for QQJC). Only the first eight listed here are pre-Qing dynasty.
Footnotes (Shorthand references are explained on a
separate page)

Zha Guide's handbooks not indexed
In addition to the 35 listed above, there are still others not listed either here or in Zha Fuxi's
main list. Many of these either date from or came to light after the beginning of the guqin revival, ca.2000 CE.

3. 上海圖書館藏古琴文獻珍萃 · 稿鈔校本(全10册)
In 2017 the Shanghai Library published reprints of what are said to be all the qin handbooks in its collection. According to this webpage, it is about 1/8th the size of the 30-volume Qinqu Jicheng but it has a number of materials not available there. Those below marked ** do not appear to have been listed elsewhere, while those marked * are said to have been listed above, though I have not found them all yet.
The complete contents are apparently as follows:

Of course, Zha also could not have indexed any handbooks published after 1955, such as Yan Yi Xi Qin Zhai Qinpu.

or to miscellanea.
Some of the further non-indexed handbooks said to date from before 1950 include:
Three of the five listed here are not indexed:
8 melodies; earliest of these Zhucheng handbooks? Earliest versions of many Meian Qinpu melodies?
? folios, 15 pieces?
? folios, ? pieces; referred to as 玉鶴軒琴學摘要 Yuhexuan Qinxue Tiyao in
Sitong Shenpin, which include at least 10 recordings here.
Said originally to have been published in Chengdu in the 1850s
The facsimile edition published 2015 by 中國書店 Zhongguo Shudian seems to be a modern copy; a reconstruction?
Thus when a publication dated before 2015 refers simply to "Baipingzhai Qinpu", the precision of this is uncertain.
The Table of Contents lists 21 melodies in two folios then adds three more in a 卷外 juan wai (beyond folios) section.
Melodies secretly preserved from a Song dynasty
Gugang Yipu (? dubious claim)
Not in QQJC but included in Qin Fu
The tablature in this handbook is said to have been the basis for some melodies as played later by 彭慶壽
Peng Qingshou
(1891—1944)
? See under previous entry, Liqinxuan Qinpu
"The Tablature of Pei Jieqing", the title used in
Sitong Shenpin and elsewhere for the tablature of the Chengdu (and 川派 Sichuan school) qin master Pei Jieqing, a teacher of Shen Caonong. Recordings by Shen said to use tablature from here include versions of a
秋塞吟 Qiu Sai Yin
and 平沙落雁 Ping Sha Luo Yan. However, Shen Caonong is also said here to have studied with Pei Tiexia: any relation?
