Li Gi, Yüo Ben, "The Fundaments of Music" (China, 2000 years ago)
"The sounds arise in the heart of man. The movements are caused by
the external things. Movements influenced by the external things are arranged
in the sound. By getting into relationship with each other the sounds are
creating modulations. Modulations, which conform with a rule, are
called sounds.
The combination of sounds for the means of exhilaration and its
combination with shield (scraper) and axe (drilling machine), springs
(onion cutter) and tassels (brushes) is called music."
