"They realized whereas the movement of the heavenly bodies, and the sequence of the seasons and the succession of night and day all return to their starting points...to attempt to remedy this...."Dude you just completely misrepresented Traditional Chinese culture. You are projecting a symmetric geometry Western ideology onto nonwestern Chinese music theory.
Chinese philosophy Professor Patrick Edwin Moran points out that"They realized whereas the movement of the heavenly bodies, and the sequence of the seasons and the succession of night and day all return to their starting points...to attempt to remedy this...."
"The Chinese knew about the tempered scale even before it was invented in the West, but they chose not to use it. They seem to have decided to put the differences to good use."http://users.wfu.edu/moran/G_tar2.html And why is that?
I have several articles published on the meaning of traditional Chinese music tuning. It is not as you state but rather tied to Daoist Neidan alchemy meditation. So the "circle of fifths" is actually an infinite spiral of fifths - just as Sir James Jeans recognizes in his book "Science and Music." And so the infinite spiral of fifths is based on what western science calls "noncommutative phase" - it is an asymmetric time-frequency coherence that is eternal energy.
I'll be happy to give you more details if you want to learn the truth of reality - or else you can just keep spewing Western music theory lies. haha. My articles are all free on https://independent.academia.edu/hempeldrew Try this one first: https://www.academia.edu/41008216/Ancient_Advanced_Acoustic_Alchemy_2018 and now scroll down page 11 - oops https://archive.org/details/springer_10.1007-978-3-0348-0672-5 this is the book you want to read as I reference - on traditional Chinese music philosophy. Professor Torietti - "And Yet It is Heard" -
