==Etymology==
== Temperaments ==
The comma is discovered by the ancient Chinese theorist, Qian Lezhi(钱乐之,390—462, pronounces as ch'ien lo-chih), see [https://kns.cnki.net/kcms2/article/abstract?v=oIAaYX6OCNIVGHOUBDvBdqAJyVAgMN-zl7gj0MMjQ567l1DriSpw6d29XAsML4Khkg1NyaNVX4Aar610z0PLa23h_Od2OPgd2u25apJJzoRVYL5HAXRdq2efCwOmyBy9V84FKOwwUeOgTxcVT5XG3rMmw1gYqIig&uniplatform=NZKPT Qian's 360 pitches].
This comma is [[tempering out|tempered out]] in [[359edo]] and any edo that is divisible by 359 and has its best perfect fifth as the same perfect fifth in 359edo ([[718edo]], [[1077edo]], [[1436edo]], etc).


In Qian's 360 pitches, this comma can be described as the interval between Huangzhong(黄钟) and Anyun(安运).
== Etymology ==
