Analysis of Musical Cultural Characteristics, Harmony Factors and Harmony Value in Pre-Qin Bronzes

The pre-Qin period was the golden age of the development of Chinese bronzes, during which the musical culture was very rich, and harmony and scales appeared. Previous studies mainly used the historical materials of pre-Qin Qingqi for theoretical analysis, but lacked practice and case studies, which could not provide practical support for archaeological research. Therefore, this paper takes the tombs of Zeng Houyi, Luoyang and Houchuan in Shaanxi Province as the research object, with the help of Panasonic 72x electron microscope observation (Tokyo, Japan, E7200), optical film analysis (China, Guangdong, 300 type), Analysis 2002 version, SPSS17.0 software, and Microsoft microphone (United States, 2020 version) and other auxiliary technologies to analyze the development of bronze and sound, as well as cultural characteristics and harmonious values, taking the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period as examples. The results showed that spring and autumn were the key periods for the development of bronze musical instruments, and the harmony differences in bronze musical instruments were small (P<0.05). At the same time, the scale of the Xia and Shang period was 1~4, the Western Zhou was 1~5, and the Spring and Autumn period was 1~6, and the high and low scales gradually rose, and the change range of treble ~ bass was 2.54±0.23Hz. In addition, the variety of bronze musical instruments increased a lot during the Spring and Autumn Period, and instruments of various shapes appeared, forming local vocalization and overall vocal flow. Therefore, the instruments of pre-Qin bronzes were mainly in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou dynasties continued to prosper, which provided a reference for modern harmonic performance and unified the standards of harmonic performance in China.

Abstract

The pre-Qin period was the golden age of the development of Chinese bronzes, during which the musical culture was very rich, and harmony and scales appeared. Previous studies mainly used the historical materials of pre-Qin Qingqi for theoretical analysis, but lacked practice and case studies, which could not provide practical support for archaeological research. Therefore, this paper takes the tombs of Zeng Houyi, Luoyang and Houchuan in Shaanxi Province as the research object, with the help of Panasonic 72x electron microscope observation (Tokyo, Japan, E7200), optical film analysis (China, Guangdong, 300 type), Analysis 2002 version, SPSS17.0 software, and Microsoft microphone (United States, 2020 version) and other auxiliary technologies to analyze the development of bronze and sound, as well as cultural characteristics and harmonious values, taking the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period as examples. The results showed that spring and autumn were the key periods for the development of bronze musical instruments, and the harmony differences in bronze musical instruments were small (P<0.05). At the same time, the scale of the Xia and Shang period was 1~4, the Western Zhou was 1~5, and the Spring and Autumn period was 1~6, and the high and low scales gradually rose, and the change range of treble ~ bass was 2.54±0.23Hz. In addition, the variety of bronze musical instruments increased a lot during the Spring and Autumn Period, and instruments of various shapes appeared, forming local vocalization and overall vocal flow. Therefore, the instruments of pre-Qin bronzes were mainly in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou dynasties continued to prosper, which provided a reference for modern harmonic performance and unified the standards of harmonic performance in China.
