Chinese musicology is the academic study of traditional Chinese music. This discipline has a very long history. The concept of music ''yue'' stands among the oldest categories of Chinese thought, however, in the known sources it does not receive a fairly clear definition until the writing of the ''Classic of Music'' (lost by the Han dynasty). ==Music scales== The first musical scales were derived from the harmonic series. On the Guqin (a traditional instrument) all of the dotted positions are equal string length divisions related to the open string like 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 3/4, etc. and are quite easy to recognize on this instrument. The Guqin has a scale of 13 positions all representing a natural harmonic position related to the open string. All musical tunings all over the world are based on this primary system. Afterwards different cultures moved to alternate variations of this harmonic system. The ancient Chinese defined, by mathematical means, a gamut or series of ''Shí-èr-lǜ'' (called the 十二律 12 ''lü'') from which various sets of five or seven frequencies were selected to make the sort of "do re mi" major scale familiar to those who have been formed with the Western Standard notation. The 12 ''lü'' approximate the frequencies known in the West as A, B-flat, through to G and A-flat.
