The musical tone, calendar, weights and measures of the metrology were regarded as harmoniousness to each other in ancient China, in which the former is the foundation of the latter two. Such an idea is based on the corresponding relationship of their numbers, and the parameters of musical tone can be used as the basic data of the calendar and weights and measures. In addition, these numbers are intertwining with several numbers of the universe, nature and philosophy mysteriously, thus the idea becoming a particular ancient cultural concept and spreading for thousands of years. This kind of cultural phenomenon had certain effect on the development of these three subjects respectively in ancient times, but it also produced the pseudoscience, namely “the Houqi theory”. This paper makes a preliminary discussion on this history, clearly points out the origin that the calendar and weights and measures come from temperament,and answers some people's related doubts. |
