1. Taoist music is the music used in Taoist activities. It includes Taoist ritual music and the music used by Taoist priests in preaching, sermons and self-cultivation. The external form of Taoism is its scientific rituals, and Taoist music is an important part of various scientific rituals. It can be seen that Taoist music is also one of the important means for Taoist priests to maintain their health.
2. In Taoist classics and literature, discussions about Taoist happiness and health preservation are common. In Volume 113 of the "Taiping Jing" it is said: "Happiness, small tools that get their meaning are used to entertain people; those who get their meaning from the middle tools are treated with joy; those who get their meaning from the upper tools are used to treat people. He who takes pleasure in the law of man will be happy for him; he who takes pleasure in the law will bring peace to him; he who takes pleasure in the law of heaven and earth will bring peace to the world. Therefore, the superior man governs the world by doing nothing. To govern music, one should make peace with the common people and regulate them; to govern music, one should entertain people and invite them to eat. Those who play music will be entertained, and those who punish will be punished. It still affects the experience and does not lose its meaning. "Here it is believed that music is of great importance. People have an educational role and can be used to cultivate people's sentiments.
3. Music can make people live longer, which has been proven by modern science. The natural fusion of Taoist music can make the singers feel as if they have entered a state of pure emptiness and purified their souls while singing. This is also one of the best ways for Taoists to maintain their health.
4. Historically, the requirements for Taoist monks were very strict. Generally, Taoist priests must be able to "play harp, chess, calligraphy, and painting"; senior Taoist priests must be able to "play harp, chess, calligraphy, painting, blow, play, and play music." "Playing and singing"; the high way requires "qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, playing, playing, playing and singing, medicine, divination, astrology and fortune telling".
5. Therefore, music is not only an indispensable and important content in Taoist priests' daily life, but also plays an important role in Taoist priests' practice, because Taoists believe that "music can regulate breath and yin and yang", so Taoism Believers take advantage of this characteristic of music to create unique Taoist music to practice themselves.
