Jesse Strickland tries to rewrite ancient Chinese music theory again

Dude - why are you replicating Confucian philosophy as supposed Daoist music theory? and then you go to the "circle of fifths"? The circle of fifths is WESTERN music theory - and Confucians did not understand traditional Chinese music theory. To quote from my free 2012 pdf book, "Philosophy professor David L. Hall documents that Zongshu changed the meaning of yin-yang from being a fluid process of resonance with equal but complementary gender relations to being a static hierarchical axiom based on left-brained patriarchal logic. The book The Tao and the Logos : literary hermeneutics, East and West by Chang, Lung-hsi (1992) documents that it was Dong Zongshu who was the most important philosopher to make patriarchal Confucionism the dominant ideology of China." oops -

oops - 

"This quickly led to concepts such as the circle of fifths."

REALLY? WRONG....
