Features: In traditional Chinese culture, the two fields of music theory and astronomy were closely linked. If it were not for the derogatory connotations, they could be said to be inextricably intertwined. After the 20th century, with the advent of modern science and technology, these two fields have become independent of each other. Looking back at the entanglement in traditional culture, people simply put a label on it—mysticism and feudal superstition. Before distinguishing what was good and what was bad, it was all thrown into the trash heap. Since the 1980s, the interpretation of traditional culture has become the research intention of a small group of scholars. Works like Zhu Zaiyu's Luli Lili Tongtong. Luli Lili Tongtong elaborates in detail on the interrelationships between astronomy, calendar, the I Ching, and music theory, reflecting the concept of the unity of astronomy and calendar in Chinese history. Reading this book is of great significance for fully understanding the ancient people's view of music theory and gaining a comprehensive understanding of Zhu Zaiyu himself.
