The anthology features 4,400 some pieces of ancient melody written in traditional gongche notation and aligned with lyrics. The present cipher notation transcription of Jiugong Dacheng , published by the Chinese University Press in 2009, was realized by kunqu master Wang Zhenglai (1948–2003) who spent all his life in performing, teaching and transcribing this significant repertoire of Chinese vocal music. Chinese music connoisseurs all realize that there is always a considerable distance between actual performances and what is notated in gongche in terms of traditional Chinese music performance practice. Therefore a useful and convincing transcription like Master Wang’s is most needed for a better understanding of this important anthology of Chinese vocal music. The documentation of the repertoire represents one of the authentic ways of interpreting this body of melodies informed by the conventional kunqu tradition.
