Almost everybody likes music
Almost everybody likes music, but not many people ask why. Even less people believe that the music is a kind of acoustic code of our physiology.
Actually, it is very easy to answer this question and to know that music is indeed a kind of acoustic code of physiology, if we can spare some time to think it over by means of our very common sense.
Origin
As a kind of symbiotic animal, we have to communicate in order to coordinate the activity of our symbiotic group so that we can survive.
Just watch the happy baby “singing” lying in the bed or cradle for a moment. Then, the mother, the closest symbiotic member, can believe instinctively that everything is going well with her baby according to his or her physiological instincts.
On the other hand, when the baby is crying in the bed, there must be something wrong with his or her physiological functions.
Therefore, obviously music is a tool of communication between members in a symbiotic group.
The three kinds of basic structural bricks of music are apparently the vibration of vocal cord (also the basis of stringed and wind instrument), the beating of heart (percussion instruments and beat), and the period of breathing (section).
The variation of length and tone color of these three bricks in conformity with the variation of our physiological functions, are used instinctively to express our feeling or physiology in order to communicate to our symbiotic members of different degree of cohesion.
That is why everybody can understand music innately without learning or translation.
Invalid Music
Since music can make us happy, it, just like happiness, can be classified into valid and invalid ones according to the optimal point of 10,000-years-ago norm. (Ref. #1,2)
As in the cases of delicious junk food, smoking, marijuana, which control our physiology by chemicals, we are facing a problem of fascinating invalid music which waste us much time and money and let our own physiology controlled by the artificially acoustic code of physiology made by others. (Ref. 2-6)
Such as indulging in:
- Folk songs too long time or singing star chasing,
- Too much complicated symphony,
- Decadent music,
- …
Conclusion
Do not let our physiology be controlled by others’ music. It will hurt us.
