Cctv's entry into the subject is not convincing, but there is no convincing video. Let's take a look at the video of Japan above.
==========================================================
Note: Blue Sunday and Black Sunday in the article are the same tune, but the translation is different.
After the love affair between Hungarian pianist Rezso Seress and his girlfriend broke down, he wrote a sad song called "szo moru vasárnap" at 1933. The English translation of this song is Gloomy Sunday. At first, the author had some trouble trying to publish this song. A publisher once said: "(refusing to publish) is not because it is a sad tone, but because of the soul-stirring despair in the song, which I don't think is good for any audience." However, after several twists and turns, Melancholy Sunday was finally released in Budapest and became the most popular song in two or three years. Unexpectedly, after this song entered the world, it caused many tragic and bizarre accidents (the local newspapers have reported a lot about it), just as the ancient myth described that once Pandora's box was opened, countless demons and disasters were released into the world. However, the last thing that came out of Pandora's box was "hope", which allowed this imperfect world to continue; But "Melancholy Sunday" brings people a voice of despair.
This song describes an unfortunate man who can't bring back the people he loves. On a melancholy Sunday, he frequently has desperate thoughts of double suicide, which is hard to get rid of his extreme thoughts about the people he loves.
Melancholy spread to America around Sunday 1936. Its first English version was recorded by jazz artist Paul Robeson in 1940. On August 7th, 194 1, the black female singer Billie Holiday reinterpreted this song in her own unique and exquisite way, making it a household name in the United States.
Over the years, some incredible reports and rumors have made the melancholy Sunday extremely mysterious. according to
According to MacDonald's article in the inaugural issue of Cincinnati Journal of Ritual Magic, Budapest police investigated the suicide of local shoemaker Joseph Keller in February 1936. They found that Keller left a suicide note, which copied the lyrics of the song that had just become popular at that time. Transcribing a lyric from a suicide note may not be a strange thing in itself. Strangely, this song is thought to be the direct cause of the death of more than 65,438+000 people. Many suicides are always associated with this song in one way or another before they die. In Hungary, two suicides shot themselves while listening to music played by gypsies. In addition, quite a few people always take the music score of "Melancholy Sunday" when they go to the Danube to throw themselves into the river, including a girl of 14 years old. An 80-year-old man whimpered and hummed this song and jumped off the seventh floor to commit suicide. It is reported that a gentleman who walked out of a nightclub opened his head with a bullet. He had just asked the nightclub band to play Blue Sunday for him. There is even a widely circulated report involving composer Rezso Seress himself. It is said that when this song began to become a best-selling song, Seress contacted her ex-girlfriend and put forward the idea of getting back together. Unexpectedly, the girl committed suicide by taking poison the next day. There are two words written on a piece of paper next to her: "gloomy Sunday". The police in Budapez are convinced that this "suicide song" has a disastrous impact on people and think it is best to ban it.
In addition to Hungary, other European countries and the United States also reported that "melancholy Sunday" triggered suicide. A young clerk in Berlin hanged himself, and a copy of the song was falling at his feet. In Rome, when a newsboy heard a beggar humming the tune "Melancholy Sunday" in the street, he stopped his bike and approached the beggar, gave him all his money, and then jumped into the river from a nearby bridge to commit suicide. In new york, a beautiful female typist committed suicide by gas poisoning, and left a suicide note, demanding that Melancholy Sunday be shown at her funeral. Because of these terrible suicides, the British BBC radio once banned this song, and the American broadcasting network immediately followed suit; Washington Senator Stephen Carr called for a ban on "Melancholy Sundays". In France, even a radio station specially invited a spiritualist to discuss the influence of this song, but the broadcast of these programs did not seem to have any inhibitory effect on the increasing number of suicide cases at that time. Times have changed. When the public's panic about a series of suicides gradually subsided, the BBC agreed to replay Melancholy Sunday, but only for the instrumental version of the song. This version was quickly recorded. One day, a policeman in London heard this kind of instrumental music coming from a nearby apartment, and the music repeated endlessly over and over again, so he thought it was a strange thing and worth investigating. After entering the apartment, he found a jukebox playing the song repeatedly, next to which was a woman who had taken too much barbital hydrochloride (a sedative).
Rezso Seress, the author of this song, finally failed to escape the curse of bad luck. 1968 On a cold winter day, he committed suicide by jumping off a building in his seventies. It is reported that Ceres is a short, humorous Jewish man who plays the piano poorly and has always regretted not receiving a good music education. His life, except that he was held in Jizhong concentration camp for a period of time during World War II, was mainly spent in the Kispipa Hotel in Budapest, where he played the piano for guests. Because of his short stature, he was blocked by a brown piano when playing. Whenever a new guest, especially a familiar friend, comes in, he will raise his left hand (with a striking gold ring on his short nameless finger), lean out his head and show a funny smile to welcome him. This greeting is a trick he plays to hide that he can only play music with his right hand. It is said that just to show off, he often puts some music on the piano stand and puts his nose in front of the piano stand to pretend to play according to the music, but in fact he can't read the music skillfully. After "Melancholy Sunday" became famous, many famous musicians, artists and celebrities came to see him (or made a pilgrimage to the hotel after his death), which made his visitor record look like a "Who's Who in the 20th century". Among them, visiting figures include artur rubinstein, Judy Mei Niuyin, arturo Tuscany, luchino visconti, Spencer Tracy, Wallace Beery, Sonia Henny, Nikita Khrushchev, john steinbeck, Prince of Wales, louis armstrong, Ray Charles, Farah Diba, King Reza Pahlavi, Paul Robertson, Cyrus Eaton, U Thant.
Every time Cerise is told that a big shot in music is coming to see him, she becomes very nervous. She often spends days hiding at the end of the hotel kitchen, practicing his songs on a big chopping block with piano keys painted on it. Cerise actually leads a double life in a strange way. He plays the piano for a living, but he plays it badly. He looks obscene, but his wife Helen is one of the most beautiful women in Budapest. Helen is not only almost two heads taller than Cerise, but also a Christian (Christians in Europe seldom married Jews at that time). In order to marry Cerise, she left her ex-husband, a handsome and rich officer! Cerise is famous all over the world for his "Melancholy Sunday", but he has never left Budapest in his life (except being driven to a concentration camp). Cerise was poor all his life, but after his death, he accumulated millions of dollars in new york Owen Trust Bank, which he could not withdraw before his death, and others paid him royalties. Perhaps otto klemperer, who conducted a series of concerts and operas in Budapest, visited the Kispipa Hotel. And left this sentence in Cerise's visitor record book: "He is not a musician-he is just a genius", which means that Cerise is not a musician, he is just a genius. As for the cause of Cerise's suicide, there is a saying that he felt that he could never make such a good song as "Melancholy Sunday", so he chose to die in a long despair.
Billie Holiday's records greatly promoted the spread of Melancholy Sunday all over the world. Many pop bands and singers often use this song as a reserved program during their performances. Besides Paul Robeson and BillieHoliday mentioned above, countless artists and bands have sung or played this song. In the last ten years, this song has been constantly covered by singers, and it still often appears in some jazz band programs.

Death and the music of death
Article source: CCTV International
A mysterious piece of music, because of a bizarre story, was put on the coat of death, making a college student faint on the spot and fall into fear. What kind of music is this? Is it a true reappearance of chivalrous people killing people with music in martial arts movies?
Music is the most beautiful art form created by human beings. But in martial arts novels, music is endowed with another function, and the sound of the piano can hurt people invisibly. Playing the flute will confuse the mind and scare people. However, the most famous martial arts novel is Huang's The Divine Flute in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. He can make people lose their minds and tear their guts out miles away. After all, martial arts novels are fictional, and Huang's flute and the voice of the six-fingered violinist are not credible. However, in real life, a junior at Hubei Yangtze University fainted on the spot because of listening to a piece of music called "The Joy of Death", and fell into extreme fear from then on. It turned out that this classmate named Chen Lei (a pseudonym) went to the Internet bar with three roommates. Chen Lei, who had a relaxed mind, never imagined that this seemingly ordinary surfing the Internet had plunged him into endless pain. While Chen Lei was indulging in the ocean of the Internet, a gloomy page suddenly popped up on the screen, all of which was an introduction entitled "Music of Death": it said that more than 100 people in Europe had died after listening to this music.
Interview: Chen Lei
I was curious when I watched it, and I just wanted to hear what songs had such great power. I opened the connection at the back and listened. At first, there was a piano music, but I only felt that the melody was very slow. After a girl started singing, I found something was wrong with me. The more I listen to that song, the worse I feel. It sounds as if my chest is stuffy and my heart is beating faster and faster. I was going to leave, but I fainted when I left.
Interview: Chen Lei's classmates.
He suddenly fainted, and then we felt very strange. We have been together for more than three years, and he is very healthy. Then we looked at it, called 120 as soon as possible, and then took him to the hospital.
Through examination, the doctor found that Chen Lei had no organic disease, and his fainting should be caused by high tension or some kind of shock.
Chen Lei was discharged from the hospital soon, but he has been in endless fear ever since. He feels that he has been on the verge of death and may commit suicide at any time. He is afraid of everything related to suicide. Images of suicide often appear in front of me, and even I feel scared when I hear the word suicide. Great psychological pressure brought Chen Lei extreme physical discomfort. He came to the hospital for examination twice, but it didn't alleviate his pain at all, and his fear remained.
Interview:
Chen Lei: It's just that people are really uncomfortable. I feel like I've never experienced this kind of pain before, and I can't bear it myself.
Commentary: In Jin Yong's works, the music played by Huang has profound internal forces and can hurt people invisibly. If the plot in the martial arts novel is fictional, but it is an indisputable fact that Chen Lei fainted after listening to a song "The Joy of Death" and lived in great fear from then on, what kind of music is this?
Interview with Professor Wang Hongmin of Recording Department of Beijing Film Academy.
The name of this song is "Black Sunday", which is a very ordinary song, but slightly sad.
Explanation: Black Sunday is also called Melancholy Sunday. This kind of music does exist in history. It was composed by Hungarian composer Rez Ceres in 1930s. Because the melody is beautiful and slightly sad, this song was widely circulated as soon as it was released and was deeply loved by everyone.
Why is such a wonderful concert so frightening to Chen Lei? Is there any secret hidden in this?
Interview: Professor Ding from the Psychological Counseling Center of Hubei Yangtze University
The key point is that he saw many stories about this music on this webpage before listening to it.
Narrator: So what did Chen Lei see before he heard the music?
Moderator: This picture was downloaded from the Internet, and Chen Lei saw the webpage. Look, its overall color is black, and the skull next to it seems to be inviting everyone. The looming title directly above adds to the mystery of the web page. From the picture alone, it sends a terrible message to people. The story of many people committing suicide after listening to this music on the web page is even more shocking. One of them wrote: a British officer was resting quietly at home and accidentally began to listen to a CD sent by the postman. The first song is Black Sunday. After listening to this piece of music, his soul was greatly stimulated and his mood could no longer be calm. Soon, he took out the pistol at home and ended his life. At the same time as the gunshots sounded, the song "Black Sunday" was still playing. After in-depth investigation and speculation, the police concluded that he did commit suicide, but this song "Black Sunday" was an indirect killer! And warned people not to listen to this kind of music. In addition, there are many similar stories on the website, saying that people committed suicide after listening to this music.
Interview: Professor Ding from the Psychological Counseling Center of Hubei Yangtze University
The hint of bad psychology is the root of this reaction after listening to this music. There are a lot of reports about this song in these websites, which have formed bad hints.
The so-called psychological suggestion is the psychological stimulation of external information, which is transmitted to the brain through its own sensory system. There is a special mechanism in the brain to receive and process information, which will make comprehensive analysis and then make corresponding responses. When some bad hints appear, when the sensory system of the brain feels that the received information may bring danger to itself, it will secrete some chemicals, which will act on the body and mobilize its own defense system to be on alert, thus making the heart beat faster, breathing faster, and even producing nervous and horrible emotions.
In order to verify the influence of psychological suggestion on people, the teachers of the psychological counseling center of Yangtze University conducted a sampling test on more than 0/00 student volunteers in this school. They divided the students into two groups. One group did not prompt before listening to music, and the other group hinted to the testers before listening to music to let them know the story about Black Sunday. According to the survey statistics, 73% of the people in the suggestion group felt that they didn't respond after listening to this song, while 27% felt a little nervous at first, but it quickly disappeared, while those who reacted strongly didn't. The results of the group that did not accept the suggestion were surprisingly consistent, and no one felt any discomfort after listening to the music. In order to further understand the brain wave activity with or without suggestion, the teachers also tested the EEG of some students. The results show that there is almost no abnormal change in the brainwaves of those who have not accepted the advice, while some people who have accepted the advice have some uncomfortable brainwaves to varying degrees.
Psychological suggestion can be divided into benign suggestion and bad suggestion, and accepting benign psychological suggestion can produce benign results. We all have this experience in our lives. If we put a narrow board flat on the ground, everyone can walk on it easily. But if the board is raised 10 m, 20 m or even higher, people may never walk on it so easily without other protective measures. In fact, this change is also due to the role of psychological suggestion, because after the board is lifted, the probability of danger increases, and then the brain will start the self-protection mechanism and make different physiological reactions according to different risks, such as rapid heartbeat and fear. In fact, this is also an instinct of human beings to protect themselves. On the contrary, bad hints will have some negative effects. People who listen to Black Sunday will commit suicide online, which is a bad psychological hint. So Chen Lei's fainting was caused by this bad hint? So, is the melody rhythm of the music "Black Sunday" really as sad, desperate and suicidal as it is said on the Internet?
Interview: Wang Hongmin, Associate Professor of Recording Department of Beijing Film Academy.
After listening to this song, will it make people feel so painful and desperate, and even produce some very extreme ideas? I think these are not, because this song is actually in a neutral music from its mode, its rhythm and its artistic conception. Music that is sadder and more directional than Black Sunday can be seen everywhere, such as A Bing's "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon", which reflects the sufferings and misfortunes of life. The theme of the first movement of Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony is the disillusionment of hope and death. Music like this is far richer and more powerful than the music we listen to. After listening to it, we really shocked your heart, but it won't make you want to commit suicide.
Interview: Li Xianyun, deputy chief physician of Beijing Psychological Crisis Intervention Center.
So far, the research on suicide at home and abroad is all about what kind of music can directly induce suicide or lead to suicide, and there is no such research finding, so this statement is simply untenable from a scientific point of view.
Description: There are hundreds of millions of people who have listened to this kind of music in the world, and what we see on the website is that during the period from 1933 to 1945, more than 100 people committed suicide because of listening to this kind of music. According to the statistics of the United Nations, there are millions of people who commit suicide every year in the world, so according to the 13 published by the United Nations, there should be tens of millions of people who commit suicide worldwide. If we look at these two figures from a statistical point of view, this is only an accidental factor.
Compere: Many people listen to the music of Black Sunday. Basically, most people have nothing unusual. Like me, I didn't feel anything after listening. I have neither fear nor suicidal thoughts. Then why do you react so strongly to Chen Lei? Through the psychological test, the professor found that he was a very suggestive person.
Interview: Professor Ding from the Psychological Counseling Center of Hubei Yangtze University
Some people are suggestive, that is, they are easy to accept relevant stimuli. When he receives the relevant stimulus, he will mobilize all the defense systems of the body at this time and produce a brilliant state. Then his brilliant state makes him overestimate the danger of things happening, so he will have a transitional response to such stimuli.
Explanation: Everyone with high suggestibility has different reasons, some are born and some are influenced by the growing environment. Professor Ding learned from the communication with him that when he was in primary school, his favorite uncle died because he held his hand, which cast a shadow of extreme fear of death on his young mind. That's why Chen Lei is susceptible to death hints. So, how can we get Chen Lei out of the shadow of this psychological suggestion?
Interview: Professor Ding from the Psychological Counseling Center of Hubei Yangtze University
In view of his situation, we adopt cognitive behavioral therapy. First of all, we changed his cognition of this event. One of the most fundamental core beliefs is that he committed suicide after listening to this concert. This is one of his most critical core beliefs at the beginning, and this is his cognition. First of all, we should change his cognitive structure.
Explanation:
According to psychology, psychological barriers stem from bad cognitive style and distorted understanding of things, that is to say, Chen Lei's fear of death music is caused by his distorted understanding of this kind of music. Only by changing this wrong cognition can we fundamentally eliminate fear. After five sessions of psychotherapy by the teachers of the Psychological Counseling Center of Yangtze University, Chen Lei gradually stopped being afraid of Black Sunday and eliminated the fear of suicide. Now Chen Lei has recovered his normal mood and continued his college life.
Postscript: Music of Death is really not as terrible as the legend. Perhaps there are only some suicides related to it, and some people's malicious hype exaggerates its effect. Psychologists suggest that although bad hints will produce negative reactions, which are related to people's own state, mood, experience, character and personality, establishing a correct outlook on life is the best way to resist bad psychological hints. When bad hints appear, the most important thing is to let people know the truth, take the initiative to adjust themselves and carry out psychological treatment in time.
PS: I remember that at the end of the program, CCTV also played this song "Black Sunday", and it was nothing after listening to it. .....
=============================================
This song has been passed down to this day, and it has a strange color. Some people have explained its killing reason from a physical point of view:
In fact, Black Sunday is just an ordinary song.
The last paragraph only added a second sound.
Humans can't accept infrasound waves because it will cause earthquakes with human internal organs.
People are in a trance, emotionally out of control and suicidal.
If infrasound is too strong, it can even directly damage internal organs and lead to death.
★ Note ★: Black Sunday, which is easy to find now, is not genuine and will not have the effect of "killing people", but the genuine one should have been out of print so far.
