Distant legends recount the Yellow Emperor’s contributions to Chinese music culture. These narratives, which intertwine historical facts with mythical elements, should not be uncritically accepted as definitive accounts of his achievements. Instead, they require careful analysis through a scientific lens to assess their authenticity. By adopting a historical and dialectical approach, the Yellow Emperor’s role in the development of Chinese music culture can be more accurately understood.
