Chapter One
Source of Music
About
the source of music of human society, we can retrospect to the very
ancient desolate times Human knew that he expressed his means and feelings
by use of low or high and strong or weakened sound before human's language
produced. With the development of human labour, human produced the slogans
which worked song sung to synchronize movement with one person leading
and the calls which passed each other.This is the most primitive musical
rudiment. When people congratulated the harvest and shared harvest of
labour.They often hit the stone implement and carpentry to express their
glad feelings.
a、Genetic tales of stringed instrument
Mercury was one of numenes of Grecian fables. One day he was walking
on the riverside of Nile and unconsciously stepped on something which
produced dulcet sound. He picked it up and realized that it was empty
turtle shell which attached a sere tendon inner side. So he got the
elicitation and invented stringed instrument. Stringed instrument produced
before Mercury by later generations' textual research, but invention
of stringed instrument was impossible to get the elicitation from it.
b、Genetic fables of the pipe
In ancient China, there was a musician named Ling Lun in the Yellow
Emperor about 5000 years ago.He ever entered the Mountain Kunlun to
pick bamboo and make it as flute.It happened that five phenixes was
sing in the air. So he combined the swing with the sound of the five
phenixes. Though it was not believable, it could be looked as source
of the pipe. The primitive human beings' labour developed with music.
By this mean, the music came from the labour.
