Different intervals of pitches correspond to different ratios of vibration, for example, 1:2 ratios produced an “octave”, 2:3 as fifth, etc. He found new pitches with the ratio of fifth (2:3). Pythagoras saw sound as vibration and motion, to project it to the larger scale planets moving in orbit should also produce a sound. The relative speed of planets response to the certain interval as well. For more info, please visit this article . Similarly, in ancient Chinese philosophy, Guan Zi (c. 720–645 BC) has a view of musical tones related to geography and agriculture in his Diyuen chapter. The way ancient Chinese found pitches was based on a series of adding 1/3 and subtracting 1/3, called subtracting and adding a third method (Sān fēn sǔnyì fǎ). The starting length is 81 (3^4) namely as "Gong( 宮 )" (do), the soil of Huangtang 黃唐土 The next pitch is 81x4/3= 108 as "Zhi( 微 )" (so), the soil of Heizhi...
