 | | Hsun Tzu and Shopenhauer were both very much in favor of music, although in different aspects, and spoke of its harmony within itself and with the emotions of a human being. |
 | | Hsun Tzu wrote that when music was performed in the temples of rulers, that all present were filled with a feeling of 'harmonious reverence', and that when it is performed in the home, the entire household would feel a 'harmonious kinship', and when performed in public, the community is filled with a 'harmonious obedience'. |
 | | Hsun Tzu, above all, is in favor of the existence of music in society (albeit a censored existence) and although he says that music is joy, and that man is entitled to express such an emotion, he speaks less of the actual beauty of expression, than of the manipulative qualities that exist therein. |
