As an ancient religious music, Taoist music, in the connotation of the style and sentiment, permeates the basic beliefs and aesthetic thoughts of Taoism and forms its own unique pattern. Dao Le is mainly used to praise the gods, pray for disasters, surpass the undead and practice cultivation. The form of the tune has the distinctions of "yang rhyme" and "yin rhyme". "Yang Yun" is mostly used for early homework and auspiciousness. The ritual, "Yin Yun" is mostly used for evening work and super rituals. His aesthetic thought reflects Taoism's pursuit of longevity and quietness. It is both born and human, and the mood is solemn and solemn. There is no lack of quietness and quietness, and the performance of the gods is very powerful. When the demon is exorcism, it is arrogant and praying. Brisk, praise the gods when the beautiful and quiet, and the performance of prayer and memorization during the meowing... The Taoist music of the whole truth has the difference between "ten rhyme" and "local rhyme", "Ten Fang rhyme" refers to the national Taoist realism The Taoist rhythm of Gongguan is also known as “all true rhyme”; “local rhyme” refers to the Taoist rhythm popular and used in a certain area.
Music used in conjunction with Taoist rituals and other activities. There are few Taoist music materials in the early Taoist literary instruments. The Yunzhong sounds of the Northern Wei Dynasty Ming Emperor Shenrui two years (415) Qian Qianzhi, namely "Hua Xia" and "Step Voice", are early Taoist music. Written record. Taoism in the Tang Dynasty was highly respected by the emperors, and Taoist music was also valued. Gao Zong once made music work. Xuanzong not only sang the Taoist priests and ministers, but also taught the Taoist priests in the court on the dojo.
The Taoist music of the Tang Dynasty gradually developed and improved on the basis of the absorption of folk music, Western music and Buddhist music. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a collection of Taoist music, "Yuyin Faru", which recorded 50 pieces of Taoist music scores from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. This is the earliest collection of Taoist music that can be seen at present (existing It is the version of the Ming Dynasty, and the Song version has been smashed.) However, the curve notation used in the spectrum has not yet been able to correct its pitch. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Taoist music was widely circulated among the people. According to the fifty-seventh volume of Wushang Huang Da Zhai Li Cheng Yi, the Taoist music at that time has been more pleasing to the use of vocal forms and instrumental forms. The Taoist music of the Ming Dynasty, due to the seven years of Hongwu (1374), was more standardized and unified, and it had new developments and entered the stereotype period. At this time, the Taoist music collection "Da Ming Imperial System" is based on the traditional ruler notation, and a total of 14 songs are recorded.
According to the records of Taoist music such as "Da Ming Xuan Jiao Li Cheng Zhai Yi", "Da Ming Imperial System", and "The Virgin Mary of the Virgin", the Taoist music of the Ming Dynasty has inherited the old music of the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties. There are new ways to absorb the music of the North and South, and even folk music such as "Qingjiang cited", "a certain gold", "tea picking" and other tunes are absorbed by Taoist music. In the early Qing dynasty, Ye Mengzhu's "Reading the World", Volume IX, said that Taoist rituals "lead the merchants to engrave the feathers, and the music and the songs were the same." The above shows that ancient Taoist music has a certain artistic level. Modern Taoist music basically inherits the musical tradition since the Ming Dynasty and is one of the heritages of Chinese traditional culture. Before the 1950s, in the south of the Yangtze River and the southern provinces, watching Taoist music in the Taoist Temple was a great event in the cultural life of farmers.
The music is composed of two parts: vocal music and instrumental music. There are various forms of performance, including solo, sing, solo, ensemble, and accompaniment. The lyrics, praises, steps, and lyrics are separate songs. Form the entire ritual activity.
The instrumental music in Dao Le includes almost all of the Han national musical instruments. The more used ones are bells, drums, cymbals, cymbals, cymbals, wooden fish and other percussion music, cymbals, tubes, flutes, cymbals, etc., Guqin, Erhu , Banhu, 阮, etc.
Taoism pays great attention to the function of Taoism. For example, the Taoist classic "Tai Ping Jing" puts forward the functions of Taoist music, such as "governance", "defense", "shun", "thinking" and "death". The Fengdao can be purified into the realm of emptiness, and the Tao can pass the gods, drive the evil spirits, and plague the disaster. Nowadays, as part of the Chinese cultural heritage, Taoist music follows this theory of music, praying for disasters, praying for the country, promoting harmony for the society, and pursuing an ideal realm of music, music, music, and spirit. .
