Chapter 80 spin palace

In fact, this is not a very complicated question, but it was said very mysteriously by the ancients. Theoretically speaking, both the pentatonic and the seventh tones can be used as the tonic of a mode, so that five or seven modes can be obtained, namely the palace mode, the quotient mode, and the angle mode.The emotional color expressed by each mode is different. In the same mode, the main tone can have different pitches, that is, it matches the twelve temperaments. For example, in the Gong mode, the pitch of the main tone Gongyin can be the same as that of Huang Zhong, which is called Huangzhong Palace, or it can be the same as Taizu, which is called Taizu Palace. , In this way, twelve palace tunes can be obtained, which is called "spin palace".The same is the palace mode, because the different tones formed by the different tonic pitches have different emotional colors.This is the meaning of the spin palace.Just like in western music, even if it is in the same mode, its tonic can have different pitches, which will also produce different colors.That is to say, the major mode with "1" as the main tone or the minor mode with "6" as the main tone in modern music can be 1=C, 1=D, 1=E...or 6=c, 6=d, 6 =e...constitutes C major, D major, E major, or c minor, d minor, e minor, etc.

In the same way, tones with Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu as the main tones can also match the twelve temperaments, and there can also be Huang Zhong Shang, Da Lu Shang, Tai Cu Shang; Huang Zhong Jiao, Da Lu Jiao, Tai Cui Jiao ; Huang Zhongzheng, Da Lu Zheng, Tai Cuu Zheng; Huang Zhongyu, Da Lu Yu, Tai Cuu Yu, etc.By matching five tones with twelve temperaments, you can get sixty tones; by matching seven tones with twelve temperaments, you can get eighty-four tones. , the rotation phase is the palace".Although in actual use, not all palace tunes are used.
