Nine Modes Manual Online《九宮大成》電子版
Nine Modes Manual Online
The Nine Modes Comprehensive Northern and Southern Lyric Melody Manual (Jiugong dacheng nanbei ci gongpu), commonly abbreviated to Nine Modes Manual (Jiugong dacheng or JGDC), is one of the oldest and most comprehensive collections of Chinese vocal melodies in existence. Completed in the ninth year of the Qianlong Emperor’s reign (1744), the imperially commissioned anthology organizes pieces of diverse origins by region (“North” and “South”) and traditional mode-key categories. It provides rhythmic and melodic notations for performing pieces in the Kun aria singing style popular among elites at the time.
The Nine Modes Manual Online website is a digitization of this full collection by the Department of Chinese Culture for purposes of researching traditional Chinese poetry and vocal arts. It allows users to view originals (“full-text”), prosodic analyses of pieces of the same title (“prosody”), and machine-generated sheet music notations (“sheet”). One may search for and compare pieces and lines using a wide range of filtering parameters, and tools for analyzing aspects of melody, rhythm, prosody, and their interactions are also provided.

《九宮大成南北詞宮譜》是中國傳統歌曲現存最古老、最完備的唱譜集之一。此欽定樂譜集於清乾隆九年（即公元1744年）在周祥鈺等學者的指導之下完成。所載旋律除清朝「雅部」即崑曲的唱腔風格，其中也包含宋詞、諸宮調、元散曲、雜劇以及崑曲興起之前宋元南戲的作品。並以曲譜的音樂、唱詞的格律為排序原則，按其南北地域和宮調順序排列。
《九宮大成》電子版網站由中國文化學系創建，網站由數碼化《九宮大成南北詞宮譜》資料庫組成供學習及研究傳統中國聲樂之用。讀者可瀏覽善本全文，按「格律」查看曲牌的格律分析，包括聲調、韻部等；按「五線譜」則可查看由工尺譜轉譯的五線譜，從而了解每曲的旋律和節奏，讀者也可使用多項參數來篩選、搜索和比較曲子和句式，並提供用來分析旋律、韻部、格律及相互作用的工具。
