Shen Jing's (1553-1610) book entitled Zengding nanjiugong qupu (Revised nanjiugong Formularies of Arias) was completed during the Wanli reign as a supplement to Jiang Xiao's Jiubian nanjiugong pu (Old Compilation of nanjiugong Formularies). It received a high evaluation at that time, and its collection of jiqu was considered predecessor to later assimilation of jiqu into tunes. This article looks into the collection of jiqu in Zengding nanjiugong qupu, through examining its added 189 pieces of jiqu it verifies how the author Shen Jing made amendments to Jiang Xiao's Jiubian nanjiugong pu. Four important points are found as follows: 1. To determine the tunes used in jiqu by examining word-sentence forms and music style. 2. To judge the accuracy of tunes in jiqu, basing on the original tune. Many differences are shown between the actual compositions and the collected jiqu. 3. Perspectives on the use of rhyme and the classification of the gong tune in jiqu. 4. The revision of jiqu folk singing and the rectification of compositions by Shen's contemporaries. With examination of Shen Jing's discourses on jiqu this article finds that, basing on "the original tune" Shen Jing rectified the contemporary perceptions of jiqu composition and made a great impact on the composition of formularies of arias as well as jiqu in later generations.
