Its slightly domed and flattened body has strong characters of qins
in Song Dynasty called Songbian (flattened Song Dynasty style)
by connoisseurs. Compare with a Confucius-style ‘Yuhubing’ qin,
Southern Song Dynasty, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, which is
illustrated by M.Z. Zheng in the Guqin in the Collection of the Palace
Museum, Beijing, 2010, pl. 7; compare also with a closely related
Confucius-style qin, Southern Song Dynasty, in the Palace Museum,
see ibid, pl.10.

仲尼式，黑髹，上下遍發小蛇腹斷，肩起二徽半，腰收八徽，紫檀岳山、冠
角及龍齦，青玉軫足，蚌徽，桐木面板，內有天地柱，龍池上方填朱漆「片
秋」二字，龍池鳳藻間陰刻「嘉靖四十三年八月造姑洗律」，鳳藻下方陰
刻「鄭府之寶」印，琴音堅實有金石聲。

此琴面板極厚重，身形扁平，棱角嶄然。其起肩收腰勢有南宋風韻，可
資比較者北京故宮有兩床，最似者為一床宋代無名仲尼式琴，亦是厚
而平，棱角嶄然，見鄭珉中編，《故宮古琴圖典》，北京，2010年，編號10；
另可比較南宋玉壺冰琴，漆面斷紋及面板木料之朽態與本琴頗似，見
前書，編號7，此二琴與本琴護軫皆成彎轉馬蹄狀，極為精緻，後世罕有
可比者。
