Qinqu Jicheng (Old Series)
First Edition, First Volume, 1963 1 |
琴曲集成
第一輯上冊, 1963 |
This volume, intended to be the first of two,2 re-printed handbooks that Zha Fuxi had collected in the 1950s during his project of locating old qin handbooks, as well as players and instruments. In 1958 the findings were published in his "Guide", then in 1963 the Beijing Guqin Research Society, a section of the Chinese Music Research Institute within the Central Conservatory, published what was planned to be a two volume series re-printing 33 of those handbooks. These 33 handbooks are introduced by Zha Fuxi in this edition of Qinqu Jicheng; however, the second volume was never published. Instead, in 1981 the project of re-printing was begun again, on a grander scale, with the publication of the first of a projected 24 volume series, also called Qinqu Jicheng (see Guqin Handbooks).
The first volume in the old series has the first 17 of the 33 introduced handbooks. Of these 17, 15 were re-printed exactly as here in the new series. However, the versions of two of them, Taiyin Daquanji and Shen Qi Mi Pu, are printed here in editions different from those used later (see comments below).3
The volumes included in (and projected for) this series are as follows.
The following are the books discussed by Zha Fuxi here, but not included in this edition

The assumption of two volumes is based on the first being called 上 shang, rather than #1, as well as the introduction of 33 handbooks. Of course, it is quite likely that at that time it was hoped that the rest of the handbooks would eventually also be re-printed.

These 33 handbooks are in fact the first 33 handbooks republished in the new series: all of new series volumes 1 to 7, plus two handbooks later published in volume 8. In order to get into one volume what was later published in almost four volumes the paper was made very thin. This makes the earlier edition somewhat more difficult to read (and frajile) than the later one. However, this volume can be found in some libraries (e.g., Columbia University) that do not include any from the new series.
