From the text of the first 2 pages it looks like a play-script for some kind of vocal performance, like opera etc.
I translate the beginning of it,

思若歌頭望歌尾　-　When the end of song comes to top
思歌唱　　　　-　Sing it in tune
鳳凰飛天吹嫩葉　-　Flying phoenix blows the tender leaves
思歌唱　　　　- Sing it in tune
有歌好唱山中唱　-　There are songs to be sung in the mountains
思歌唱 - Sing it in tune
- The leaves of all sort of trees are blown away
- Sing it in tune
- Fading out end of song - ... Geban Hill
- When the leaves are well blown away
- Old ladise of Geban Hill are weeping in the
mornings and in the evenigs
etc.etc.....

Despite of the title, it is not a technical book, but an opera or play about the bridge builder mythical emperor.
As soon as I have the time I'll be back with the other page.

With regards,
I.Nagy
