The famous Taoist music songs include: Penglai Fairy Charm, Heaven and Earth Charm, Nanqing Palace, Jade Emperor's Praise, Erlang Qu, Taishang Laojun's Classic of Chang Qing Jing, Sanqing Scenic Spot, Xianjiale, White Crane Flying, Hongyan Zan, Welcome the Xianke and so on. ?

Taoist music began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it is used in various legal activities such as celebrating the birthday of immortals, praying for blessings from heaven, exorcising demons and turning over the undead. The ritual activities of Taoism in the earlier period were the inheritance and development of the ancient ritual of offering sacrifices to the gods by witches. At first, the chanting was direct, and there was no record of using music.

According to Wei Shu Shi Lao Zhi, in the second year of Shenrui in North Wei Mingdi (415), Kou Qian said that he met the Taishang Laojun in Songshan, and conferred the title of heavenly teacher on him. He also endowed Yunzhongyin with the precepts of new subjects, and formulated the New Method of Reciting the precepts in Movements, which resulted in the initial Daoyue phonology such as Ode to China and Buxuci.

The Tang Dynasty was one of the heydays of Taoist music development.

During the Kaiyuan period, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty once told the world that Daodiao cooperated with French music, and Dancing in Dress and Feather was a kind of French music.

Taoist music in the Tang Dynasty was changed from simple percussion instruments, such as bells, chimes and drums, to wind pipes and plucked instruments. Tang Gaozong once asked the musicians in the palace to make daodiao. Xuanzong once ordered Taoist priests and ministers to offer Taoist songs, and personally researched and taught Taoist music.

In the Tang Dynasty, Taoism was highly respected by emperors, and Taoist music was also valued. Tang Gaozong once ordered musicians to make Taoist tunes. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty not only ordered Taoist priests and ministers to make Taoist songs widely, but also personally taught Taoist priests "Buxu Rhyme" in the court Dojo.

Taoist music in the Tang Dynasty gradually developed and improved on the basis of absorbing folk music, western music and Buddhist music at that time. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Ruohai wrote "Mistakes in Xuantan Publication", which called Taoist music in the Tang Dynasty "guangchen miscellaneous music, bage Chongqing dance, and I learned about it."

In the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, Du Guangting, a famous Taoist priest, compiled the Complete Collection of Taoist Prizes, which further standardized the Taoist rites of fasting. At this time, Daole music has increased from simple percussion instruments such as bells, chimes and drums to blowpipes and plucked instruments.
