Five tones, also known as five tones, are the oldest scales, namely, Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu, which first appeared in Li Zhouguan Chun: "All the essays are based on five tones, and the Gong Shang Jiao signs feathers." "Gong" is the master and king of the five tones, commanding all the tones. "Mandarin Zhou Yuxia" says: "Husband, the master of sound, the first feather." There is a scientific method to get the five tones of "Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu" through mathematical operation, which is called "three-point profit and loss method". The basic scale of China ancient music is "Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yin", which is different from western music. If we compare the seven scales of western music, the pentatonic scale of ancient music in China is equivalent to do, re, mi, sol and la without the "Fa" and "Four" rising semitones.
palace

Relationship between Five Tones and Body Shape
Examples of pentatonic processing
Liao History records a story of treating diseases with sound.
Xie Lie, the wife of Lu Ye, an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, was seriously ill, and many doctors were at a loss. Later, Lu Ye's enemies saw it and said, "There is accumulated heat in the heart, which is beyond the reach of medicine and stone, so we should treat it with meaning." Because it makes you crazy, you can use it to vent your poison. "
It shows that the patient's heart has accumulated heat and can't be treated with medical stone, so it should be treated with heart. Because the patient is deaf, she should be driven crazy and detoxified with noisy voices.
So he ordered people to beat drums in front of patients. The next day, the patient was really crazy, cursing and cursing until he was exhausted.
Theoretical sources
Huangdi Neijing introduced the relationship between five tones and five internal organs in detail.
The original text reads: "Oriental blue, liver south red, heart yellow, spleen west white, lung north black, kidney middle tone feather."
Many diagnosis and treatment schemes in Huangdi Neijing use five tones. For example, the Yellow Emperor in the book asked Zeebe, "Patients with foot Yangming pulse disease are shocked by the sound of wood and unmoved by the sound of bells and drums." Why? " ? Qi Bo replied that the foot Yangming is the stomach meridian, and the stomach belongs to the soil, so it will be frightened to hear the sound of wood.
For another example, it is recorded in the book: "Kidney qi leads to the ear, and kidney harmony leads to hearing and hearing." Let's talk about judging kidney qi with five tones.
