This is an annotated catalogue in two folios of 206 general books on music that mention qin, and that Zhou Qingyun in 1915 thought still existed; the folios were appended to his Qinshu Cunmu. As there, in many cases it is not always clear whether he actually saw them during his bibliographic researches, so the listing cannot be taken as proof that the book still exists: many apparently do not. In some cases there is only a brief mention of where he found it listed. In other cases there is extensive commentary or quotes.
