Abstract As the only ritual book compiled and preserved during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty， Zhang Anmao's Pan Gong Li Yue Quan Shu (Book of Rituals and Music of the Pan Palace) has not yet attracted sufficient attention. This book exists in three versions， two of which are kept in Japan， and both are unique copies. The version held by the Osaka Prefectural Nakanoshima Library is the Le Ying Tang edition， a family-printed edition by Zhang Anmao and the first printed version of the book. The version held in the Kano Bunko collection of Tohoku University Library is a revised edition of the Le Ying Tang version. The version circulated in China consists of sixteen volumes， and The General Catalog of Chinese Ancient Books records it as a printed edition from the thirteenth year of Shunzhi， making it the latest of the three versions. The Japanese-held versions include Zhang Jinyan's preface and Zhang Anmao's introduction， which are not found in the domestic versions. There are also many textual variations among the prefaces of the different versions， providing material for textual reconstruction and collation. The transmission of this book to Japan may be related to the reforms of the Shōgunate's Confucian ceremonies during the Edo period， which has preserved the two versions from the wars of the early and late Qing Dynasty to this day. As a compiled work， it provides a detailed record of the Confucian ceremonial rituals before the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty， offering significant documentary value for the study of early Qing ritual and music. It reflects the cultural aspect of Qing Dynasty to “inherit rituals of Ming”.
