Origin Story
传说上古时期，黄帝命令伶伦氏根据自然界的音律创造音乐。伶伦氏历时多年，终于找到了十二个音律，其中黄钟和太簇是最主要的两个音律，黄钟是阳音之首，太簇是阴音之首，它们和谐共鸣，如同天地的交响。人们为了纪念这一伟大的创举，便将这两种乐音称为“黄钟大吕”。从此，“黄钟大吕”便成为了中华文明的象征，代表着庄严、和谐、高妙的音乐和文化。
Legend has it that in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor ordered Ling Lun to create music based on the laws of nature. After many years, Ling Lun finally found twelve musical notes, of which Huang Zhong and Tai Cu were the two most important. Huang Zhong was the first yang note and Tai Cu was the first yin note. Their harmonious resonance was like a symphony of heaven and earth. To commemorate this great achievement, these two musical notes were called “Huang Zhong Da Lü”. Since then, “Huang Zhong Da Lü” has become a symbol of Chinese civilization, representing majestic, harmonious, and sublime music and culture.
