The History and Culture of Mianshan Scenic Area
Mianshan Taoist music grows with the development of Mianshan Taoism, with extremely rich connotations, which can be roughly divided into two parts. One part is Taoist music with local characteristics, also known as "local music", and the other part is Taoist music combined with court style, also known as "French music". Taoist music, as a form of Taoist preaching, worship and practice, exists in Taoist musical instruments, and its functions are: praying for blessings, eliminating evil spirits and eating to death. It is divided into two categories: Yang and Yin.

In the past, forced by their livelihood, Taoist priests often cooperated with other Taoist priests outside the palace to build temples in the homes of believers, so some fixed and established tracks were circulated, such as: Pu 'an Mantra (four strands), Zhang Yao (two strands), Shuihonghua (general), Damazou (three strands) and Zaimating. China's plays include: Yi Deng's ten punishments and ten reparations will always be converted to all kinds of nameless praise. The purpose is to cross over the dead, settle down and let the dead get out of hell as soon as possible. Most of these tracks are word of mouth, and many tracks have been lost.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yong, the founder of Taoism, and the royal family were both surnamed Li. Especially after Li Shimin defeated Song Jingang of Liu Wuzhou Department of Turkic Khan in Sparrow Valley near Mianshan, he laid a solid foundation for the Li and Tang Dynasties. Mianshan built many palaces and publicized the divine right of monarchy. During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong blessed Mianshan and built a temple to worship the gods, which made the development of Taoism in Mianshan shine brilliantly. Palace-style "Fa Yue" has also become the characteristic of Mianshan Daole.

1995, Yan, a famous entrepreneur in Shanxi Province, chairman of Shanxi Sanjia Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. and a great scholar, invested heavily in restoring Mianshan Mountain, restoring more than 80 temples and more than 2,000 Taoist statues; Jiexiu Taoist Association was listed in Luoda Palace in Mianshan; Mianshan Religious Orchestra was established to collect and sort out Mianshan Taoist music, standardize Taoist Dojo instruments and profound Mianshan culture. After years of unremitting efforts, Mianshan Taoist culture has been restored. On May 2 1, 200 1, under the guidance of the Chinese Taoist Association, Mianshan successfully established the largest "Luotian Dayan" Dharma Association since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Mianshan Taoist music is melodious, solemn and elegant, which has won unanimous praise from Taoist colleagues at home and abroad and friends from Singapore, South Korea, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Min Zhiting, Chinese Taoist Association and Mianshan Economic Union are called "Mianshan Model", and Chinese Taoist Association once called for "learning from Mianshan Economic Union".

Mianshan Taoist music is called "Mianshan Yue Xian" by the world. Its style is quiet and elegant, emphasizing rhyme rather than brilliance, with dynamic melody, empty melody, sighing songs and strong religious atmosphere. Mianshan Taoist music has obvious mode characteristics of emphasizing gong yin; It shows its solemn, quiet and steady characteristics. Listening to Mianshan Daole is like being in a fairyland, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. The musical instruments of Mianshan Daole are: clang, cymbal, fish, bell, cymbal, drum and chime; The musical instruments played are: Sheng, Xiao, Guan, Di, Taosuo, Suona, Yunlong, dulcimer, Guzheng, Pipa, zhongruan, Daruan, Yueqin, Sanxian, Erhu, Zhonghu, Xiaohu and western musical instruments. Mianshan Taoist music is rich in timbre, with solemn, clear and solemn Yang rhyme and euphemistic, sad and sad Yin rhyme. According to its use, it can be divided into "ritual Taoist music" and "folk Taoist music": ritual Taoist music refers to Taoist music used in the ceremony of Dojo, including the inseparable parts in front; Folk Taoist music is called "licensing" or "playing music", which is similar to the "instrumental music" of folk music. It combines local folk music and is used for burning incense before and after the opening of the Dojo or the soaring Dojo. This kind of Taoist music is loose and lively, and it is very popular with believers. Mianshan Religious Orchestra has been constantly improving and forging ahead, creating and adapting a large number of tracks with the characteristics of Mianshan Taoist music, such as Mixed Yuan Zan, Flower Zan, Rhoda Yue Xian, Mianshan Autumn Moon, Mianshan Qingyun, Gong Jiezan and Fei Xian Qu, which have been appreciated by Taoist circles and relevant experts. He has made fruitful contributions in inheriting and developing the traditional culture of China.

Mianshan God is the intermediary. Liu Xiang's Biography of Immortals in the Western Han Dynasty recorded: "The initiator of Xie is also a Jin person. Hidden and nameless, Zhao Chengzi, and you. There is a yellowbird on the door. Jin Wengong and Zhong Er are different. They have been away from home for more than ten years and have worked hard. When I went back, Bozi in Jieshan often came in the morning to say' I can go', refused my mother to enter the mountain and traveled from Bozi. After that, Wen Gong sent thousands of people to send them jade gifts. Thirty years later, I saw Donghai selling fans for the king. I don't know where it is in the next few decades. " After Emperor Zhao Xerox built the "Miao Jie Temple", he called it the "mighty god", specializing in spreading sex, inspecting the sufferings of the people and solving problems for them. Another god in Mianshan is Weichi Gong. Gong joined the army at the end of Sui Dynasty and awarded a doctor to the Dynasty. Later, he was promoted to Khan by the Turks and was stationed in Jiezhou (now Jiexiu City). It was an extraordinary period, and staying behind was equivalent to a county magistrate. In the third year of Tang Wude (620), the King of Qin and the Liu Wuzhou Department of Yang Khan were appointed by the Turks and were defeated in the battle of Sparrow Valley and Dushuo Garden in Mianshan. He made great contributions to the realization of "the rule of chastity" in Li Shimin. In the meantime, there were many activities in Mianshan area, leaving traces and legends such as "directing the stage", "listening to the alley", "mounting a horse to run the spring" and "mounting a horse to split stones". In his later years, he believed in Taoist witchcraft and was regarded as a "door god".

The Buddha in Mianshan is Tanluan, a monk in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the pioneer of Pure Land Sect. After receiving the true biography of Bodhi, a Tianzhu monk in Luoyang, Lord Wei "ordered him to live in Bingzhou Temple, then moved to Shibi Temple in Beishan, Fenzhou in the evening, and then gathered for steaming under the shade of all mountains. Today, Gong Gongyan is also. " (See Biography of Monks in Tang Dynasty) The Great Monastery, Records of Fenzhou Prefecture and Shanxi Tongzhi are collectively called "Dayan Temple". According to the ancient mirror of Dayan Temple recorded by Qin Long in Mianshan, Wulong, Ming Dynasty, Dayan Temple was named Fu Bao Temple (now Yunfeng Temple). The original "Tanluan Monk's Tomb" was located in Huangtupo, Mianshan. (See the book Pure Land Ancient Temple Xuanzhong Temple). Duke Luan was called "Bodhisattva" by Liang Xiao and Wang Zun, and he was already a Buddha in the eyes of the world. Another Buddha in Mianshan is Zhi Chao, a monk in Sui and Tang Dynasties. Monks and Tian Ran, the common surname, were far away from their hometown, resisting the exploitation of local ruffians and the government and pleading for the people. In five years, Tang Wude entered the boundary mountain, created a Zen couple, and was famous for his belly ... He also established the Yan Guang Temple in Jiexiu County, Fenzhou, and finally got the result. According to legend, he is one of the buddhas of the past and the incarnation of the ancient Buddha of the Empty King. He is a "Zen virtue" who takes evil as his enemy, is courageous, is charitable and does good deeds everywhere. He is known as "Mianshan Living Buddha" by the world. After his death, Emperor Taizong of Li Shimin named him "the ancient Buddha of the Empty King" and became the earliest Buddhist in the Han nationality.

The above deities and buddhas were all promoted as Jin people by Jie Li (one said Pei Jie in Xia County, the other said Jiexiu Xiaosongqu, and the other said Qinzhou Tongcymbals); Weichi Gong is (now back to the state); Tanluan is a native of Yanmen (now the county area); Zhichao is the whirlpool man of Yuci. They are all living buddhas and living gods who once grew up in this land of Shanxi. This phenomenon of "true gods and true buddhas" gathering in one mountain is unique in the world. Yan Wengong
