The book of *Music Miscellany* recorded many stories about the pipa. Duan Anjie’s *Pipa Stories* was recorded in the book of “Explanation of Zhizhai Books’ by Song people, Chen Zhensun. Chao Boyu called it *Pipa Records* in his *Continued Collected writings*, so the later generations called it ‘*Pipa Records*’ as well. Both *Shoushange Series* and *China Classical Opera Works Integration* (China Opera Press, 1959) compiled by Qian Xizuo in Qing Dynasty included the collated revision of this book. (Zhao Jiazi)
