RE: 440 vs 432 tuning music, a pointless discussion
In Ancient China, one way a conqueror asserted control was by imposing his country 's pitch standard on the conquered. One of a king's responsibilities was to maintain the standard pitch.

When you say king you mean emperor? Anyway I think they didn’t have either accurated tuners so I’m not sure about what you say and don’t know how it is related with the 432 tuning affaire, but is a nice path to make a research. Yo have some source to read about it? Thanks for replying!
Emperor is a special case. The first emperor was the Qin emperor. Before his proclamation, the highest office was king.

Oh! Ok, I understand. I realize that I know almost nothing about China history, and I'm sure it's very interesting! Thanks for the explanation
