How the Musical Scale Was Invented
How was the musical scale frstinvent
ed? That query, which has troubled the
theorists of all lands, and has had in
answer hitherto only in mystifyina
speculations and unintelligible theories
the Chinese viii reply to by legend
most ingenious and most apropos, which
they hold. offers complete explanation
of the mystery. In the reign of Hosng
ty. they say, there was once primes
called Lyng-lun, who was the most beau
tiful man and at the same time the mosi
profound musician in China. He, under
pain OF a severe penalty by the order
loving emperor, was commanded to ar
range and regulate Chinese music OF
the same principle wherein Hoang-ty
had arranged law and politics through
out the Chinese empire.
Full of thought Lyng-lun wandered te
the land of Si-jaung, where the bamboo:
grow. Having taken one of them he cut
it OFF between two of the knots, and
pushing out the pith blew into the hol
low. The bamboo uttered most beau
tiful note, to Lyng-lun's intense surprise
simultaneously the river Hoang-ho
which ran boiling by, roared with iti
waves, and tho tone was in unison with
the note of the bamboo. 'sBehold, cried
Lyng-luns ssthe fundamental sound OF
naturel' Two magical birds then came
and perched themselves upon some trees
near, and sang one after the other the
seven notes of the scale, starting from
the tone which had been reared by the
Hoang-ho and warbled by the bamboo.
Here is a scale, say the Chinese, al
once Ineligible, inimitable and easily
revealed. Lyng-Iun had merely to cut
seven more banboos and tune them tc
the pitches he had heard, and the scale
was made. This he did; and thus was
the art Of music inaugurated and found
ed by Hoang-ty's court musician on
firm and unalterable basis. Chambers
