Zhū Zàiyù was an Imperial prince of the [[Ming Dynasty]], known today for his writings on music and dance. He is said to have been the first person in the world to devise the musical system of 12-tone equal temperament.<ref>Nakao, 350.</ref>
He was the heir of [[Zhu Houwan|Zhū Hòuwán]]<!--朱厚烷--> ([[1518]]-[[1591]]), also known as Prince Gong of Zheng<!--鄭恭王-->,<ref>Richard Wang, ''The Ming Prince and Daoism: Institutional Patronage of an Elite'', Oxford University Press (2012), 99.</ref> and is said to have been particularly talented at math, calendrics, and music as a child.
Zhu's most famous work is the extensive 47-volume ''Yuèlǜ quánshū'' (J: ''Gakuritsu zensho'', roughly "Complete Book of Musical Meter"), published in [[1596]] and formally presented to the [[Wanli Emperor]] ten years later. In it, he writes on a wide variety of subjects relating to music and dance.
Zhu is said to have been particularly interested in seeing the revival or restoration of ritual music (C: ''lǐ yuè'', J: ''reigaku''). He saw the study of dance as a crucial element in this effort, and advocated for instruction in dance to be implemented at the [[National Academy]] and other major court and private schools. To that end, he also worked to collect, reproduce, and/or compile a great many records of music and dance.
