hé chūyú shì 和出于适

Harmony Comes from Appropriateness.

音乐的和谐来自音乐的适度及音乐与平和心灵的契合。“和”,和谐,首先指不同声音之间的协调配合。“适”,适度,既指音乐本身高低、清浊的适度,亦指欣赏者对于音乐对象的适度接受。这一术语突出了音乐欣赏过程中作为客观对象的音乐必须与主体心灵的和谐相一致,音乐美感是主客体和谐的产物。

The harmony of music comes from its appropriateness and its concordance with the soul. “Harmony” refers to how different sounds are combined and attuned to each other. “Appropriateness” refers to the pitch and timbre of the music itself, as well as to the degree to which the listener can accept the music. This term highlights the need for harmony and accord between the object—music and the subject—the soul, in order for music to be appreciated. The beauty of music is generated by harmony between the subjective and the objective.
