Who is the author of Sound Without Sorrow?
The author of Sound Without Sorrow is Ji Kang. The Theory of Sound Without Sorrow and Music is a monograph on the aesthetics of ancient music in China. In this paper, nearly ten thousand words are used to summarize Ji Kang's musical thoughts. In this paper, eight arguments between "Qin Ke" and "Master Dongye" are used for repeated argumentation, which refutes the Confucian traditional music theory in a targeted way, and then expounds the author's music thought.

It is not the same thing to think that music belongs to external objective things, while sadness and joy belong to internal subjective feelings. It is not the same thing to assert that music itself has no sorrow or joy, so as to deny the Confucian thought of etiquette and music education.

The Value of Music Aesthetics

The theory of sound without sorrow and music also puts forward many important musical aesthetic problems from the contradiction of music itself.

Such as the relationship between music creation, performance and appreciation; The relationship between emotional expression diversity and musical expression diversity; The relationship between music creation and improvisation; The relationship between performers and musical instruments; The relationship between music appreciation and conditional association. It also discusses the different social functions of music in ancient society and after its decline. This is not touched in Confucian music thought, and it has groundbreaking significance.
