Early Taoist Rhyme System

Taoist song is a very special vocal variety in Chinese traditional music.Firstly,she is a super-dusted religious music type and has a different personality style.Secondly,she is very old for a long time.From the end of the Han Dynasty,Taoist song has been spreading in the palace hall.As contained in the Taoist books,part of the contemporary Taoist songs have been recorded in the Dong Jin Dynasty literatures.In short,it is an important subject in the academic field to explore the history and education of Taoist song.Because Taoist song exists for more than 1800 years and there is the limitation of the author's academic ability,we are not yet possible for the whole study.So we only follow closely the early stage of the development of Taoism-the late Han Dynasty,Wei Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties period.In addition,we haven not sheet music and sound about the early Taoist songs,so it's difficult to explore their musical characteristics.Through studied the Taoist books and compared the contemporary Taoist songs,we find a lot of descriptive words about Taoist chanting.At the same time,ancient and modern Taoist songs are good use of four or five words sentence style.And so,we believe that the verse scripture,the music descriptive scripture and the spreading scripture,all are Taoist songs.Of course,for the special teaching methods,the Taoist songs could spread now.From our point of view,there has been the rigorous theoretical system about the Taoist song education.It roughly includes six structural elements,Which is educational concept,mentoring relationship,educational content,educational process,educational methods,educational norms,and so on.In the Taoist view,the songs originated the sound of nature and they are the communication languages between the man and god,so the master acts as the endorsement of the god.At the same time,there are the relationship of religion and semi-religion between the master and the followers.In fact,the Taoist songs is a spells from the religious view,and it is a kind of music style from the art point.So we can say that the Taoist musical education integrates the religious and arts characteristics,but they pay more attention to the religious characteristics.So that,the Taoist education have to comply with teaching ceremonies.As for the reason,it's attributed to thought of worshipping the scripture as the treasure.The scripture is not only the carrier of the Taoist songs,but also the norm versions of the Taoist music education.In short,the last longer of Taoist songs depends on the inheritance effects of the Taoist musical education system.In the same time,the Taoist education system also have more revelations to our contemporary school music education.First of all,the Taoism respected the master which takes shape the dimensional master network.Secondly,the Taoism respected the scripture which originated the nature sound and is the means communication between the man and the god in Taoism's view.This shows that the contemporary school music education should pay more attentions to the teachers and the teaching materials.Finally,the Taoist music education have to follow the teaching ceremony,which deeply reflects the thought of respecting the scripture.At the same time,they are initiated our new thinking about the contemporary school music education.In fact,regardless of the Taoist history or the Taoist music history,Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties are a very important period,because it basically formed a Taoist music heritage model.It generally contains the Taoist song' certification,the ritual environment,the normative system,the granting method and the conception,and so on.In other words,if we can find out the history of the development of the early Taoist song and its heritage system,we will lay a solid foundation and clear roadmap for the study of the heritage history of the Taoist song.
