Initial sounds reflecting Daum
Human sounds originate from Daum(the Five Movements,
the Five Elements) in nature. Because of this, they naturally
align with the cycle of the four seasons and harmonize with
the five musical notes.
The throat is deep and moist, corresponding to Water
among Daum. Throat sounds are hollow and resonate
clearly, just like water flows smoothly and transparently.
They represent Winter and correspond to the musical note
La.
The molar sounds, produced at the back of the mouth
where the molars are aligned, correspond to Wood. These
sounds have a defined shape, similar to trees growing from
water. They represent Spring and correspond to the musical
note Mi.
The tongue moves swiftly and sharply, producing tongue
sounds that represent Fire. These sounds roll and spread out,
like flames blazing and expanding.
They correspond to Summer and the musical note Sol.
