试说周朝的黄钟律高

Musical Temperament of the Huang Zhong from the Zhou Dynasty

据考古发现包含乐律铭文的编钟、编磬及其测音数据,可以推知东周早期周朝的黄钟律高为E。先秦时期,各国的黄钟律高标准并不统一,且可能因时代早晚而发生一定的音高变化。

According to the result of the test done on the unearthed ancient Chinese chimes from the Zhou Dynasty it is safe to infer that the temperament pitch of the Huang Zhong was E. During the early Qin Dynasty the Huang Zhong temperament was not the same from the different regions and may have been changing as time went on.
