What are five tones and twelve rhymes?

Five tones are also called five tones. The oldest scales used only five tones, namely Gong, Shang, Jiao, Qian and Yu. The word "five tones" first appeared in Li Zhou Guan Chun: "All words are written in five tones, and the palace merchants seek feathers." "Five tones" first appeared in Mencius Li Lou: "Without six laws, five tones cannot be correct."

The ancients usually used "Gong" as the first sound and the most important sound of the scale, and sometimes replaced it with the word "pentatonic scale".

(1) The five tones of male, upper, cross, righteousness and depression are matched with the five internal organs in Ling Xie Shu Ke: the spleen should be male, and the voice should be scattered slowly; The lung should be business, and its sound should be clear; The liver should respond to the angle and have a long voice; The heart is giving, and the voice is bright; Kidney should be feathered, and its sound is heavy and thin, which is the correct pronunciation of the five internal organs. According to legend, it was named after the five tones of China's earliest musical instrument "Fu".

Equivalent to 12356, namely: do, re, mi, sol, la.

(2) The five levels of phonology-male, upper, cross, right and Yu-are matched with different pronunciation parts of throat, teeth, tongue and lips respectively. Ye Wangyu's film, the attached picture Shaman's Four Tones, Five Tones and Nine Alleys, and the book Guang Yun by Song Chen Pengnian and others are all divided in this way. The former is divided into throat, tongue, teeth, teeth and lips, so-called from inside to outside, while the latter is divided into lips, tongue, teeth, teeth and throat, so-called from outside to inside. A Chinese opera actor can accurately grasp the parts of the five tones, plus the use of the "four tones" (opening the mouth, discharging the teeth, closing the mouth and closing the mouth), that is, he can accurately pronounce words, which is called five-tone integrity, and an actor who cannot accurately grasp the five tones is called five-tone incompleteness.

Ancient musical terms are ancient tuning methods. That is, the method of dividing an octave into twelve different semitones by three-point profit and loss. The order from low to high is: Huang Zhong, Lu Da, Tai Cluster, Jia Zhong, Gu Xi, Zhonglu, Yan Bin, Lin Zhong, Yize, Nanlu, Wushe and Ying Zhong. Twelve methods are divided into yin and yang, of which six odd methods are called yang methods and six even methods are called yin methods. In addition, the odd law is called "law" and the even law is called "law", so the twelve laws are also called "law" for short. Yang Faliu: Huang Zhong, Tai Cong, Gu Xi, Yan Bin, Yi Ze, Wu She; Yin Law 6: Luda, Jiazhong, Zhonglu, Lin Zhong, Nanlu and Ying Zhong.
