Chen Yingshi,Rulan Chao Pian,Harvard-Yenching Institute and the Unpublished Translation of Sonq Dynasty Musical Sources and Their Interpretation
Utilising the correspondence between Chen Yingshi and Chao Rulan from 1979 to 1989,this article explores the scholarly interaction between these two eminent scholars of Song Dynasty music.The letters show that Chen Yingshi began translating Chao's monograph,Sonq Dynasty Mu-sical Sources and Their Interpretation,as early as late 1979,and that by March 1982 he had not only finished translating all chapters of the book but also sent them to Chao Rulan.The correspondence also shows that Chen Yingshi's subsequent research on music notation in the Song Dynasty was also inspired by Chao's work.Chao Rulan responded positively to Chen's request to translate the book,and in 1981 succeeded in getting him a research grant from the Harvard-Yenching Institute.
