“Fei Yang (Chinese: raised by the wind) has been inspired by the wind and ideas best expressed by the following quotations: “”…the ch’i of heaven and earth combine to create wind. The ch’i and winds of the cosmos are thus correct, and the twelve pitches become fixed.”” History of the Han: “”Music is the means by which the sage stirs heaven and earth, moves the ghosts and spirits, she-pherds the multitude of men, and completes the natures of all diverse things.”” Feng-Su T’ung-I: “”Music is fundamentally nonrepre-sentative, exhibiting pure form not as an embellishment, but as its very essence.”” Benedetto Croce”
