Qinqu Jicheng (Original Series)
First Edition, First Volume, 1963 1 |
琴曲集成原版
第一輯上冊, 1963 |
This volume, apparently 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 the first of a set of two that re-printed the first 33 of those handbooks (32 by my count).3 These 32 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 series apparently projected to include 24 volumes also called Qinqu Jicheng (see Guqin Handbooks).
The first volume in the original series has the first 17 of the 32 introduced handbooks. Of these 17, 15 were re-printed exactly as later 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).
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 32 handbooks
These 36 comprise 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 fragile) 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.

(Return)
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.
(Return)
The 32 handbooks listed above (considered originally as 33, but the two from 1589 and 1609 above are in my list combined into one) are the first 32 handbooks republished in the new series. They thus omit the following four from my list of the first 36:
6. Qinyuan Yaolu
21. Longhu Qinpu
22. Xinkan Zhengwen Duiyin Jieyao Qinpu Zhenchuan
