A brief note on the translation is necessary. Professor Huang Xiangpeng's article includes many technical and idiomatic details. Many of these details are clarified with brief interpolations in the translation which is aimed at general readership outside Chinese music specialists. All other technical and idiomatic details are either summarized or omitted.
