Table of Contents (also alphabetical by "author" and 中文版 Chinese version )
    Many attributions, especially those in "quotes", are inreliable. Most of the individual commentaries are incomplete.
    As I have no poetry experts to help me determine rhythms, my focus has been more on the instrumental repertoire.
