Rauscher discovered listening to Mozart’s sonata k.448 resulted in higher but temporary spatial IQ scores in the empirical study referred to as the“Mozart effect”. This argument resulted in the debate between two sides. The key point is whether the Mozart effect can be replicated or not. The purpose of this article is to interpret the Mozart effect from the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, that is, introspective TCM theory, and expand the scope of TCM. It was discovered that: 1) Sonata k.448 coincidences with the style of Zhi (which is one of the five tone elements) that belong to fire (which is one of the five elements) that connect with the heart and is beneficial to the heart reaction. 2) Sonata k.448 coincidences with the Yin Yang theory of TCM that enriches the expression that stimulus the feeling. 3) The wood tone effect of Suwen couldn’t be replicated in the author’s experience, which resulted from the environment difference between ancient and modern that resulted in different feelings and preferences. The situation is the same with the Mozart effect. This means neither the wood tone effect of Suwen nor Mozart effect are fake theories. They only mean two effects couldn’t occur in everybody. Based on the above, the Mozart effect possibily exists, even though it cannot occur in everybody’s experience. 4) In order to find out the cause of the Mozart effect, research should adopt the approach of TCM with an emphasis on qualitative research methods to deepen our understanding of each case situation and individual differences. In conclusion, music psychological effect exists, even though it is not consistent in everyone. It cannot be denied that the Mozart effect exists because it cannot be replicated. We also cannot assert that the Mozart effect occurs in everybody. The effect of TCM music theory is the same situation. Furthermore, although the TCM music theory focus on five elements rather than Yin Yang, but Yin Yang has a close relationship with music by our analysis that the researchers of TCM must pay attention. |
