What's the difference between China's wooden eyes and western beats?
From the beginning, western music defined the rhythm of music with the rhyme of poetry, and the regular repetition of strong syllables and weak syllables in the basic rhythm of poetry formed the concept of alternating strength and weakness of western music beat. Although due to the continuous development of music art, most musicians and music works have gradually got rid of the concept of alternating strength, due to the objective law of "long strength and short weakness", traditional music theory still uses logical strength to describe the beat. It is impossible to have a beat under the guidance of this concept. This is also the main reason why there is no beat in Sposobin and previous western music theory textbooks. In fact, from the use of staggered beats, we should be able to feel that the logic strength and volume strength are irrelevant. And China's wooden eye has always been a sign of length, not strength. China's board eye starts with the natural beat method, and after the rhythmic beat reaches the fixed beat, the board represents the first beat of the bar. Eyes represent the beat after the first beat. Therefore, it can be said that the three eye plates have four beats per bar, that is, four beats, but it can never be said that the three eye plates are strong and weak. Every bar has a beat, a beat. Some places are called "boards", which also means there are no eyes. Similarly, it can't be said to be "strong". Some people think that "a beat with only one strong beat and no weak beat in each bar is called a beat". According to this, it is concluded that "the purpose of using one beat is mainly to make every beat in the aria become a strong beat to highlight the tone of speech". Therefore, there are words like "festival" and "beat" in China's music literature, but "festival" and "beat" in China's music and western music theory are totally unrelated concepts. What is similar to the "beat" in western music theory in China's music should be "Ban Yan".
