This fascinating book examines a wide range of texts and discourse on music during this period (ca. 500?100 BCE) in light of the rise of religious, protoscientific beliefs on the intrinsic harmony of the cosmos. By tracking how music began to take on cosmic and religious significance, Erica Fox Brindley shows how music was used as a tool for such enterprises as state unification and cultural imperialism. She also outlines how musical discourse accompanied the growth of an explicit psychology of the emotions, served as a fundamental medium for spiritual attunement with the cosmos, and was thought to have utility and potency in medicine. While discussions of music in state ritual or as an aesthetic and cultural practice abound, this book is unique in linking music to religious belief and demonstrating its convergences with key religious, political, and intellectual transformations in early China. 410 0$aSUNY series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture 606 $aMusic$xPolitical aspects$zChina$xHistory 606 $aMusic$xSocial aspects$zChina$xHistory 606 $aMusic$xPhilosophy and aesthetics 607 $aChina$xHistory$yZhou dynasty, 1122-221 B.C 607 $aChina$xHistory$yQin dynasty, 221-207 B.C 607 $aChina$xHistory$yHan dynasty, 202 B.C.-220 A.D 615 0$aMusic$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aMusic$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aMusic$xPhilosophy and aesthetics. 676 $a780.931 700 $aBrindley$b Erica$f1971-$01008832 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818111003321 996 $aMusic, cosmology, and the politics of harmony in early China$92327736 997 $aUNINA
