near See also:Tournai, in or about 84o, if we may believe the statement of his biographers to the effect that he died in 930, aged 90. He studied at the monastery, where his See also:uncle See also:Milo occupied an important position. Hucbald made rapid progress in the acquirement of various sciences and arts, including that of music, and at an See also:early See also:age composed a hymn in See also:honour of St See also:Andrew, which met with such success as to excite the See also:jealousy of his uncle. It is said that Hucbald in consequence was compelled to leave St Amand, and started an See also:independent school of music and other arts at See also:Nevers. In 86o, however, he was at St Germain d'See also:Auxerre, See also:bent upon completing his studies, and in 872 he was back again at St Amand as the successor in the headmastership of the See also:convent school of his uncle, to whom he had been reconciled in the meantime. Between 883 and 900 Hucbald went on several See also:missions of reforming and reconstructing various See also:schools of music, including that of Rheims, but in the latter See also:year he re-turned to St Amand, where he remained to the See also:day of his See also:death on the 25th of See also:June 930, or, according to other chroniclers, on the loth of June 932. The only See also:work which can positively be ascribed to him is his See also:Harmonica Institutio. The Musica Enchiriadis, published with other writings of See also:minor importance in See also:Gerbert's Scriptores de Musica, and containing a See also:complete See also:system of musical See also:science as well as instructions regarding notation, has now been proved to have originated about See also:half a See also:century later than the death of the monk Hucbald, and to have been the work of an unknown writer belonging to the See also:close of the Loth century and possibly also bearing the name of Hucbald. This work is celebrated chiefly for an See also:essay on a new See also:form of notation described in the See also:present day as Dasia Notation. The author of the Harmonica Institutio wrote numerous lives of the See also:saints and a curious poem on bald men, dedicated to See also:Charles the Bald.
HU-CHOW-FU, a See also:city of See also:China, in the See also:province of Cheh-Kiang (3o° 48' N., 12o° 3' E.), a little S. of Tai-hu See also:Lake, in the midst of the central See also:silk See also:district. According to See also:Chinese authorities it is 6 m. in circumference, and contains about roo,000 families. A broad stream or See also:canal crosses the city from See also:south to See also:north, and forms the See also:principal See also:highway for See also:boat See also:traffic. The See also:main See also:trade of the See also:place is in raw silk, but some silk fabrics, such as flowered See also:crape (chousha), are also manufactured. Silk is largely worn even by the lowest classes of the inhabitants.
