*商 SHANG as musical note:
“The five music scales i.e. 宫 Gong (do), 商 Shang (ri), 角 Jue (mi), 徵 Zhi (so) and 羽 Yu (la) were firstly defined in Yue Ji (translated as Chapter of Music), which is the 19th chapter in Li Ji or The Book of Rites (collected by Dai Sheng from 51 B.C. to 21 B.C.) and the first systemic theoretic records on music [11] . In this chapter, the medical effects of music have already been involved.The model of five phases i.e. metal, wood, water, fire and earth is one of the most basic philosophic foundations in CM. In Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic, a connection of the five phases, five Zang-organs, and human sound with the five scales has been established (Figure 1). It is also explained that Jue, Zhi, Gong, Shang, and Yu are derived from the very primary sound in the beginning of the universe. As recorded in the classic, each organ has its corresponding sound in nature."
Shang (ri) and Sorrow
Sorrow corresponds to the phase of metal and related to the lungs. This category of music/song is characterized by being resounding, sorrowful, solemn, sonorous and forceful. So, it’s called the music of autumn. When the reaction is hyperactive, sorrow consumes Qi. The music of Shang strengthens the astringing and purifying effects of the lungs and regulates water metabolism.” - Zhang, H. and Lai, H. (2017) Five Phases Music Therapy (FPMT) in Chinese Medicine: Fundamentals and Application. Open Access Library Journal, 4, 1-11. doi: 10.4236/oalib.1104190.
