		Prior to the 20th century the tendency of performers was to re-interpret old music in the idiom of their own day.
		One should be hesitant and skeptical in making assumptions about what music sounded like and how it affected people in ancient times, but this argument against making the effort is to me like arguing against the method of learning a tradition by copying ones' teacher.
		In general I can suspend disbelief about the accuracy of a musical performance if, first, it is clear to me what sort of accuracy is being claimed and, second, if the argument makes facts fit my own understanding of the historical circumstances.

	Introduction to Chinese Music
		For several thousand years Chinese culture was dominated by the teachings of the philosopher Confucius, who conceived of music in the highest sense as a means of calming the passions and of dispelling unrest and lust, rather than as a form of amusement.
		The ancient Chinese belief that music is meant not to amuse but to purify one's thoughts finds particular expression in the cult of the qin, a long zither possessing a repertory calling for great subtlety and refinement in performance and still popular among a small circle of scholar-musicians.
		Most Chinese music is based on the five-tone, or pentatonic, scale, but the seven-tone, or heptatonic, scale, is also used, often as an expansion of a basically pentatonic core.
