How does Chinese music sound different from the music you listen<br> to?
Len [333]

Answer:

In general Asian music, but most particularly Chinese, has called the attention of westerners because of the sensed differences with the music that we are accostumed to listen to in the west. This is why, when we go into a restaurant that is Asian, and we hear the tunes being played, we become aware of how different they sound from what we are accustomed to.

There are several reasons for why this happens, but the most important of all is the difference in the scale system that Chinese music composers use, versus ours. While in the west we use a 7-note scale system, most Asian music, and most particularly Chinese music, use what is known as the pentatonic, or 5-note scale.

Also, Chinese music is usually played with solo instruments, or very small ensembles, not how it is done in the west, and the emphasis tends to be on certain types of wind instruments such as zheng, and also on cymbals and gongs, which give this type of music a very peculiar characteristic.

These are only a few of the reasons why Chinese music may sound so different to what western people are used to.

Blizzard [7]

Patient x is diagnosed with constipation. As a knowledgeable nurse, assessing dietary intake nursing intervention is appropriate for maintaining normal bowel function.

<h3>What is constipation? </h3>

When feces are difficult to pass and bowel movements become less frequent, constipation occurs. The most frequent causes are dietary or habit adjustments, an insufficient intake of the right kind of fibre, or both. You should see a doctor if you have severe pain, blood in your stools, or constipation that lasts longer than three weeks.

Regardless of your bowel habits, it is a fact that the longer you wait to “go,” the more difficult it is for waste or feces to pass.

Constipation is also commonly characterized by the following:

• Your waste is dry and solid.

• Your bowel movement hurts, and it’s difficult to pass feces.

• You have the feeling that your bowels are still somewhat intact.

<h3>What is Renal stones ?</h3>

Kidney stones form when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances — such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid — than the fluid in your urine can dilute.

  • At the same time, your urine may lack substances that prevent crystals from sticking together, creating an ideal environment for kidney stones to form.

  • Adding calcium-rich foods to meals helps reduce oxalate levels.
