KEIBAIRAKU NO KYU (taishiki.cho) Taishiki-cho is a gagaku scale based on a tone corresponding to E natural in western music. Keibairaku is said to have been composed by Ch'ang-sun Wu·i around the middle of the chen-kuan era of T'ang hut Since there is also evidence of its existence during the previous dynasty of Sui, this is not clear. Only the kyû or final section has come down to us and the dance is lost.
