It can be seen from the case of Ouyang Xiu's palace's sound-counting to treat melancholy diseases that choosing appropriate music and treatment forms can play a very good role in treatment and health care, just as Ouyang Xiu said in After the Draft of Shu Mei Sheng Yu: "Every music reaches the sum of heaven and earth, and it is connected with popularity, so its illness can be felt in the heart, and its joy can be observed in the sound." He also said in "Three Ways to Try Chinese Studies": "You can't be self-restrained when you are happy; The ultimate nature can't be self-reconciled, and it will be happy. " In the Northern Song Dynasty, Sima Guang put forward the way of keeping in good health, holding that "harmony in music", "harmony in ceremony", "harmony in husband's music and harmony in ceremony" and "harmony in nature". Let the voice, at the end of the also ". Zhou Dunyi also put forward the idea of "light harmony" for music health preservation. He said: "Therefore, music is light but not harmful, and harmony is not obscene. When you hear it, you feel it, and it is all light and harmonious. If you are light, you want to be calm, and if you are harmonious, you will be relieved. " Looking at the above, many ancient people believed that "harmony and music" can calm the mind, "musicians, circulating blood, turbulent spirit, and harmonizing the heart" can only be achieved in the beautiful and pleasant "harmony and music". "Sports only have the effect of cure a disease in exercising joints, while playing the piano cultivates it with spirit. So why do you live long?" This may also be one of the reasons.
In contrast to "harmony", the ancients believed that bad music laws would lead to human diseases. In the previous paragraph of medical harmony, the words "moderate voice to descend" and "numerous masturbation sounds" were just gentle and moderate sounds and complicated music with messy skills. At that time, it was pointed out that "numerous masturbation sounds" made people forget peace and advised "gentlemen to listen". Xunzi explicitly opposed the "evil sound" of "Yao Ye taking risks", and the story of Shi Kuang drumming in Lun Heng Ji Yao Pian expressed this idea: "Shi Kuang had to drum it, and when he played it, a cloud started from the northwest; Play it again, the wind comes, and the heavy rain follows, cracking the curtain, breaking the bean, falling into the porch tile, and the seated people are scattered. The fair man is afraid and crouches in the gallery. ..... The body of the fair male is sick, so it can be seen that "evil sound" can really cause disease. Ling Zhouli also thinks that many diseases are caused by listening to discordant music, and points out that "if you are shocked by listening to music, you will be dazzled by the beauty, and you will suffer nothing."
? Confucius once said that "to change customs is to be happy", and advocated that perfect music should be used to achieve the goals of "righting the heart", "self-cultivation", "governing the family" and "leveling the world". He believed that music is conducive to creating a beautiful and harmonious social environment, and a good social environment is the basis of a person's physical and mental health. By improving personal accomplishment and self-cultivation, the whole social atmosphere is peaceful and clear, and this small but great social effect is the great role brought by a small art like music.
From a modern point of view, the selection of beautiful and exquisite music can really achieve the effect of health preservation. Generally speaking, music with smooth and smooth tunes, gentle and gentle rhythms, simple and harmonious harmony, elegant and simple timbre and gentle volume can meet people's inner needs and achieve the purpose of health preservation. Disco, which is similar to the ancient "slutty voice", is not only beneficial to health, but also extremely unfavorable to some patients with heart disease and hypertension. Therefore, "harmony and music" is calm, and lewd voices cause diseases. Music therapy is not beneficial and harmless. The key lies in the choice of music, which is also a basic criterion that we must follow in music health preservation.
