    The Nine Songs 屈原 九歌 Qū Yuán jiǔ gē - Qu Yuan's Nine Songs The Nine Songs is a set of eleven poems from the anthology The Songs of Chu, which is traditionally attributed to Qu Yuan (about 343–278 B.C.). … [The Guodian Dao De Jing has been dated to the third or fourth century BCE. (DIO)] Involving spirit journeys and the invocation of divine beings, one passage reads: The singing begins softly to a slow, solemn measure: Then, as pipes and zithers join in, the singing grows shriller. Now the priestesses come, splendid in their gorgeous apparel, And all the hall is filled with a penetrating fragrance. The five sounds mingle in a rich harmony; And the god is merry and takes his pleasure. From https://artmuseum.princeton.edu/collections/objects/35950 … why the Jiu Ge ("Nine Songs") consists of eleven songs … ancient ideas about numbers and numbering, where by the use of a numeric term, an order of magnitude, estimation, or other symbolic qualities are meant, rather than a specific quantity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiu_Ge
