It was pronounced by the ancients according to the position of the sound-palace throat sound, upper tooth sound, horn tooth sound, tongue-sign sound and feather lip sound. Summarized the knowledge of music.

It first appeared in Yuan Di Guanzi in the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,600 years ago.

Also known as pentatonic scale. It is the crystallization of China's ancient cultural collection and mass entertainment. It is closely related to the classical culture of China.
