This paper focuses on a Gongche manuscript preserved in the Shanghai Yanggang Folk Music Museum.The cover of this manuscript is damaged,with the words"Qingyu Hall"remaining in the lower right comer of a fragmentary page,and the name"Yang Shujie"written at the bottom of another page.Additionally,the back cover contains the inscription"Daoguang Xinchou Year"in black pen.As a unique folk Gongche manuscript with missing heritage information,its compilation date,origin,and musical genre affiliation are uncertain.To address these questions,this paper first examines the historical origins,genre affiliations,and evolution of the 70 qupai(melodic patterns)recorded in the manuscript through mutual verification and interpretation of the scores.Based on the genre information presented in the preliminary score analysis and supplemented by fieldwork,the study interprets the manuscript's notation,textual prompts,and structural features,further verifying and elucidating its genre affiliation and cultural information.
