Huangying-er黃鶯兒 is regarded as one of Feng Menglong's folk song books such as Guazhi-er掛枝兒, Shange山歌, and Jiazhutao夾竹桃. However, preceding researches criticized Huangying-er as 'a fly in the ointment' for laughing at pitiable female entertainers and harming the spirit of edification. In response, there has not been a detailed research on basic items such as editions, compiler, and written time. Thus, this study tried to shed new light on bibliographic information of Huangying-er. To discuss the bibliographic information of Huangying-er, this study organized and supplemented the 8 editions featuring Huangying-er in Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty periods. Most of these editions have signature of 'Fubaizhuren浮白主人' or 'Fubaizhaizhuren浮白齋主人'. After organizing the existing theories, this study came to support the theory claiming that the complier is Feng Menglong himself. Also, in reference to the works related to Huangying-er, this study concluded that Huangying-er was complied before compilation of Guazhi-er and Shange, the middle of the Wanli萬曆 reign period.
