There are five tones and seven tones in ancient times. This "sound" is roughly equivalent to today's scale. Five tones are five scales: Palace, Upper, Cross, Right and Yu. About 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in modern music notation. Later, two changes were added, namely palace change and signing change. Palace change is similar to "7" in modern music score, and turn sign is similar to "4" in modern music score. There is no sound equivalent to "4" in China traditional music. Five tones plus two tone sandhi are called "seven tones" or "seven tones", thus forming a seven-tone scale: Gong (1), Shang (2), Jiao (3), Bian (4), Qian (5), Yu (6) and Bian Gong (7).

Therefore, in ancient books, it is often seen that when writing a season, it is often accompanied by a name and orientation that matches this season, such as Ouyang Xiu's Autumn Sound: "The voice of the West; ..... business, injury, old things sad ",is to cooperate with autumn, business, west. This kind of cooperation reflects the ancient people's understanding of things, but it has no scientific reason. Go to new community @(W L_ z\@; c Y5Q
(This pentatonic scale is not an incomplete pentatonic scale, but refers to the five sounds in phonology, namely, lip sound, tongue sound, tooth sound and throat sound. According to the pronunciation position of initials, the rest only know to grind their teeth and turn their tongues, but the pentatonic scale is really difficult to complete). Coupled with the changes in the palace and the sign, it constitutes seven sounds. Compared with today's seven-tone scale:
Palace quotient angle change sign feather change palace
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Of the seven tones, any one is dominant (that is, the tonic, which occupies a core position in the main melody of music), forming a mode. Different modes have different sensory colors and expressive functions, so they can also produce different musical effects.
For example, when Jing Ke and his party set off, Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin, saying that "the lofty ceremony struck the building, Jing Ke chimed, and all the people wept for the sound of change", which was desolate and tragic and suitable for lamentation. Below, there is "return to feather tone generosity", and "feather tone" is feather mode. This model is high and exciting, so after listening to it, "all the philosophers are angry and the fingers are crowned."
Six laws

China's ancient legal system. In ancient times, it was called six laws, but it was actually twelve laws, that is, twelve tones of ancient music. Rhyme originally refers to a bamboo tube used for tuning. It is said that the ancients used twelve musical tubes of different lengths to blow out twelve kinds of standard sounds of different heights to determine the level of music. So these twelve standard sounds are also called "Twelve Rhymes". This is a legal system that divides an octave into twelve semitones that are not completely equal. Each law has a fixed pitch and a specific name, which is roughly equivalent to the twelve tones in modern music. The order from low to high is: (1) Huang Zhong (C) (2) Lu Da (c) (3) Tai Cong (D) (4) Zhong Zhong (d) (5) Gu Xi (E) (6) Zhong Lu (F) (7) Yan Bin. Twelve methods divide yin and yang. Odd six laws are yang laws, which are called "six laws", and even ones are yin laws, which are called "six laws and six laws" for short. But the six laws mentioned in ancient books usually refer to the twelve laws of Yin and Yang.

In ancient times, the law was attached to the calendar, and the music law was linked to the calendar. The twelve laws are coordinated with December, according to the Book of Rites and the Moon Order, that is, "the month of Meng Chun, the law is too complicated; Zhong Chunyue, the clock is in the law; The moon in Ji Chun, the Gu Xi in law; In the summer dream, Lu is in the law; The midsummer moon is full of guests; The moon in summer, the bell of law; The moon in Qiu Meng, the law is in the middle; Mid-autumn moon, south of Fallow; Season and autumn moon, the law has no shooting; In the month of Meng Dong, the bell should ring in the law; Midwinter moon, yellow bell in France; The moon in winter, the law is great. " "Being in the law" means "what the law should be". Ouyang Xiu's Ode to Autumn Sound: "Yi is the law of July and March ... Yi, slaughter, and excessive things should be killed." Later generations often use the names of the twelve laws to indicate the seasonal months, such as the Book of Quality written by Cao Pi and Wu He: "When visiting the world, the scenery is fan-shaped", which refers to midsummer and May.

Twelve-tone system: an ancient legal system, which divides an octave into twelve semitones that are not completely equal by the method of three-point gain and loss. The legal system from low to high is: Huang Zhong, Lu Da, Tai Cluster, Jia Zhong, Gu Xi, Zhonglu, Yan Bin, Lin Zhong, Yize, Nanlu, Wupai and Ying Zhong. In addition, the odd-numbered law is also called "six laws", and the even-numbered law is called "six laws and six laws", or "law" for short, for its semitone (high octave law) and diphone (low octave law). )
In ancient melody, pentatonic scale and heptatonic scale are relative pitches. There are twelve absolute pitches * * *, which just correspond to C, # C and D mentioned above. It is called the Twelve Laws. They are: Huang Zhong, Lu Da, Lee Tae, Jia Zhonggu, Xizhong Road, Lin Bin, Zhong Yi, Nanlu, and don't shoot (the sound is easy to shoot, Tao Ziwen's "don't shoot in France" means November). Like western music, it can be either Huang Zhong or Lu Dazhong. For example, if Huang Zhong is Gong Yin (that is, C is 1), then his scale is "Huang Zhongjun". By the same token, we can have great equality or great equality.
