Chinese Scales
As implied by its name, this scale is suitable for playing Chinese music (see also the Oriental Scale). The Chinese scales are sometimes used in jazz improvisation.
The Chinese Scale has a quite uncommon feature in the two quadra-steps: first to second note and fourth to fifth note. Another peculiar detail is that a harmony note is added to every single note in the scale (see below).

The Chinese scales can be played with harmony added to every note. This is how it looks in the key of C:
The tonality in Chinese music differs from the Western world and they have another note system with numerical notation.
