  • "Lulu Jieyao, printed on blueprint paper in Chinese and Manchu, is stored in the National Beijing Library. There is no author's name. Its contents also relate to the Western musical theory and, in addition, to the construction of musical instruments, but there are no similarities to those of Xubian and Zuanyao. Probably this work was also written by the Westerners, but its author is not known for sure. It is difficult to know whether or not the work was written by Thomas Pereira." - 呉相湘 Wu Xiangxiang : "Lulu Zuanyao Ba", Guangzhou da guangbao 廣州大光報, November 7, 1936
