Traditional Chinese Five Elements Music
Traditional Chinese philosophy points out that human beings are the natural sons of heaven and earth. Human life activities and the changes of all things in the world are all related to each other, echo each other, and are in harmony with each other. So, this is what is called "the correspondence between heaven and man" and "the unity of heaven, earth and man". The sky is covered with the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, giving birth to the five tones, signs, palaces, merchants, and feathers; the earth has the five seasons of spring, summer, long summer, autumn, and winter, which nurture the five transformations of growth, growth, transformation, and harvest. Zang, people have five internal organs: liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and five wills: anger, joy, thinking, worry, and fear. Changes in the five elements, five tones, five seasons, and five transformations of heaven and earth directly affect the changes in all things in the world, thus leading to changes in people's emotions, emotions, mentality, and health.
The five tones and the five elements have been recorded in China as early as the "five tones for treating diseases". The "Huangdi Neijing" points out that the horn is the sound of wood, the sound is fire, the palace is earthy, the business is gold, and the feather is water sound. This shows that the five tones of Jiao, Zheng, Gong, Shang, and Yu correspond to the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water; they are connected to the five internal organs: liver, heart, spleen, lung, and kidney, and the five wills of anger, joy, thinking, worry, and fear. . Jiao Tiao music has the characteristics of wood Qi, which can prevent and cure the inner depression of Qi; Zheng Tiao music has the characteristics of Fire Qi, which is beneficial to prevent and cure the depression of Qi; Gong Diao music has the characteristics of earthy Qi, which is beneficial to prevent and cure the disorder of the rise and fall of Qi; Shang Diao music has the characteristics of Metal The characteristics of qi can prevent and cure the dissipation of qi; Yu tune music is the embodiment of water qi, which is beneficial to prevent and control the upward flow or excessive inflammation of qi. This is the reason why the Five Elements music can influence the human body's qi and transport the qi, regulate yin and yang, regulate qi and blood, maintain the dynamic balance of the qi in the body, and maintain human health.
The imbalance between the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth and the movement of qi in the human body can be divided into moderate, moderate, excessive and insufficient. The five elements of music corresponding to the natural and natural changes of qi in heaven and earth can also be divided into positive and negative. It can be divided into Tune, Too Tune and Less Tune.
The rules of composition of five-tone prescriptions
1. The way of harmony
"Legends of Music·Lectures on Music" holds that: "Music is the harmony of heaven and earth." Traditional Chinese music is an art that expresses the "way of neutrality". It emphasizes the "beauty of neutrality", is harmonious and natural, and does not pursue intensity. It is very suitable for healing, balancing the body and mind, and coordinating the relationship between man and nature. As the saying goes, "Taste, sound, and color nourish people." Excessive consumption can easily lead to illness, while tranquility can maintain health and longevity.
2. Emotional Regulation
Ancient Chinese music expresses hazy and transcendent artistic conception, and is closely connected with the human spiritual and psychological world. Among them, the correlation between music and emotion is a comparative It is easy to grasp and can become one of the important points of communication between modern medicine and modern music therapy. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that excessive changes in the seven emotions cause excessive changes in qi. "Anger makes qi rise, fear makes qi go down, fear makes qi disorder, joy makes qi slow, worry makes qi gather, sadness makes qi disappear, and thinking makes qi stagnate." Emotions. Excessive stimulation can lead to functional imbalance in the body and is the main factor causing emotional diseases.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people’s various emotions have a dynamic relationship that breeds and restricts each other. In response to excessive changes in emotions, traditional Chinese medicine puts forward the theory of the victory of emotions and emotions, "Suwen·Yin and Yang Yingxiang" "On" says: "Anger hurts the liver, sadness is better than anger; joy hurts the heart, fear is better than joy; thinking hurts the spleen, anger is better than thought; sadness hurts the lungs, joy is better than worry; fear hurts the kidneys, thinking is better than fear." When a certain emotion is too extreme, When an illness occurs, another emotion that "wins" can be used to "transfer", "restrict" or "balance" it, so that excessive emotions can be reconciled. The key points of this method are emotional transfer, restriction and balance, which can also be better realized in conjunction with literature, fine arts and other art forms.
For example, for patients with hypertension who have excessive liver yang and are prone to anger, we listen to music with a business-like tone or a strong sad color, such as "Little Hujia", "River Water", "Han Palace" "Autumn Moon", "Double Voices of Hate" and "Singing in Sickness", etc. These pieces of music are known for their sadness, poignant and touching, and have a good effect of restraining anger and stabilizing blood pressure.

If you are a patient with yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, you can also choose water music with feather tunes, such as "Two Springs Reflect the Moon", "Hanjiang Remaining Snow", "Pingsha Falling Wild Geese", "Xiaoxiang Water Clouds" ", "Little River Flowing Water", etc. These music have the characteristics of softness and purity, which can guide the essence, nourish yin and latent yang. Sometimes, based on specific psychological characteristics, we arrange some happy and joyful music according to their preferences, such as "Happy Flowers, Full Moon", "Joyful", "Yao Dance Music", "Happy Encounter", "Birds in the Forest", etc., or rise to the tune of Fa. Smooth music, such as "Guangming Xing", "Overlord Disarms", "Fighting Typhoon", "Dragon Race to Win the Gold", etc., can put patients into an emotional state, or gentle and neutral music, such as "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms" "" White Snow in Spring", "Neon Clothes Song", "Man Ting Fang", "Recalling Duo Jiao", etc., make the patient's anger need to be transferred, vented or soothed, and then performed with sad music, the hyperactive Yang state will be resolved. Qi and blood are restored to balance, and peace of mind naturally appears.
