About Zhu Aiguo's "A Brief Tutorial on Harmony"

I highly recommend this book because it is indeed a "concise" tutorial. Everything that needs to be mastered has been said, and it’s not complicated. The overtones of chords are integrated into relevant chapters, which avoids duplication, explains the problem clearly, and is closely integrated with the relevant content, making it easier to understand.

What chapters are the chord overtones integrated into? The seventh chapter of the book, "Chord Overtones and Passing in Melody, Auxiliary Four and Six Chords", basically outlines: weak outside tone: passing tone, auxiliary tone and pre-occurring tone, strong outside tone: lingering tone and Yiyin. In Chapter 8, Chapter 9, Chapter 12, Chapter 13, etc., for dominant seventh chords, secondary seventh chords, subordinate seventh chords and leading seventh chords, etc., the preparation form of the seventh tone is mainly introduced by the lingering method, etc. wait.
