An Examination of Zhu Zaiyu's Path to Creating the"New Fine Ratio"Method
The development of ancient Chinese pitch-pipe theory known as shi'er lü has been propelled by the problem of the"inability to restore huangzhong(the fundamental note)".The separation between the practical group of ancient Chinese musicians and the literati group resulted in a relative independence between theory and practice in studies on ancient Chinese music.Zhu Zaiyu's creation of the"New Fine Ratio"method benefited not only from the accumulation of ancient scholarship and tradition but also from a dialectical inheritance of previous achievements made both in musical performance and pitch-pipe studies.This new approach would not have been made possible without his courage to break away from previous prejudices and adhere to the truth.
