GOSHORAKU NO KYU (hyojo)
Hyojo is a gagaku scale based on atone corresponding to E natural in western music.

According to tradition, Goshoraku was composed toward the end of the chen-kuan era (A. D. 627-649) by T'ai·tsung, second emperor of the T'ang dynasty, assigning one of the five eternal values (gosho) of 1 (righteousness), Jen (humaneness), Li (propriety). Ch'i (knowledge) and Hsin (faith) to each of the five notes of the pentatonic scale. A dance piece consisting of four sections, jo. ei, ha and kyû also is known at present. This piece would correspond to the last section of the dance.
