The Historical Origin of Tokyo Music

It has a long history. The musical instruments used in Han areas are nothing more than martial arts. The band is large in scale, beautiful in music style, simple and elegant. It was named after the performance of the Taoist Classic "Wenchang Cave Fairy Classic". Taoist scriptures are divided into three caves: cave truth, cave mystery and cave god, which were handed down from generation to generation by Taoist Sanqing. Therefore, the Taoist scriptures are called cave classics, which play music that praises the verses in the scriptures, so they are called cave classics music. Dongjing Music originated in Pengxi County, Sichuan Province, and was founded by Liu Ansheng and Wei Qi.

Liu Ansheng was born in Pengxi County, Sichuan Province in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the fourth year of trunk road (1 168), five volumes of Wenchang Dadong Fairy Classic were written in Yuxiutan, Baoping Mountain (now Chicheng Mountain) in Pengxi County, which was widely circulated in the society. Because of the performance of Wenchang Dadong Fairy Classic, it has formed the Dongjing Music, which is well-known at home and abroad. Liu Ansheng is the pioneer of Dongjing Music.

Wei Qi, born in the Yuan Dynasty, was named Zhongzi, and lived in seclusion in Penglai Mountain, Pengxi County, Sichuan Province. Young and good at Taoism, he used to be the military and political chief of Nanping Qijiang and other places. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Wei Qi annotated Liu Ansheng's "Wenchang Dadong Fairy Classic" in Penglai Mountain, Pengxi County, Shu Dong. From Yuan Dynasty to junior year (13 10), Wei Qi presented Notes on Fairy Scriptures in Wenchang Cave to Yuan Wuzong, which won a great reputation. His works are widely circulated throughout the country and become the main classics of cave music in Yunnan, Sichuan and other provinces. Wei Qi made great contributions to the generation and spread of Dongjing music. Yang Zuokun, the governor of Henan Province and a native of this city in the Ming Dynasty, said in the Record of Jianshi Yushan Academy: "Yoko Penglai once noted the Great Cave Fairy Classic." This is the earliest document that recorded Wei Qi's annotation "Dadong Jing Xian" in Penglai Mountain, Pengxi County, Sichuan Province, and was included in the Qing Jiaqing edition of Sichuan Tongzhi. Dongjing music is a living fossil of music, which has been recognized by UNESCO as a valuable intangible cultural heritage of all mankind.

"The Second Collection of Huaping County Literature and History Materials" said: Dongjing music was introduced to Dali from Sichuan in the seventh year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1409). "The First Collection of Literature and History Materials of Nanjian County" also said: Yongle was introduced to Dali from Sichuan in the seventh year of Ming Dynasty, and then spread to all parts of Yunnan from Dali. The data of Tonghai County is also said to have been imported from Sichuan. It is recorded in the Preface to the Music of Dali Cave that in the 13th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1534), Dali and Shimonoseki sent people to Sichuan to practice Dadong Jing Xian and brought back two Jing Xian. Although there is a time difference, the four statements must have been introduced from Sichuan. These statements are quite reliable. There is a Annals of Yunnan compiled by Amin Li Yuanyang for reference. It is a book that records the situation of Wenchang Palace in Yunnan in the early Ming Dynasty. Wenchang Palace is the base camp of Dongjing social activities, and Dongjing Music is played here. Book: Wenchang Palace in Kunming is outside the west gate. Zitong Temple in Chuxiong is outside Renfu Gate in the west of the city. Wenchang Temple in Wuding was under the old government. Heqing Wenchang Palace is located in Taixuan Palace and is under the jurisdiction of the government. Zitong Temple in Yongsheng governs the south of the state. Baoshan Wenchang Temple is located at the foot of Taihe Mountain in the west of the city, with Hongzhi's deputy envoy Lin Junjian. Sacrifice on the fourth day of the spring and autumn. There are also temples in Tengyue Prefecture. Fengqing Wenchang Temple was built in Lisan, northeast Fujian, and was built by local officials and county magistrates during Jiajing period. It can be seen that Wenchang Palace existed widely as early as Jiajing period. The Chronicles of Yao 'an County compiled by Yunlong, a scholar in the Republic of China, has been published for 55 years: all counties in Yunnan have it. Yao Yi has established a community that worships Wenchang, satirizing Dong Jing and Yu Jing. To pray for peace. There is also an altar to preach the Oracle, turning ignorance into enlightenment and drowning the tributaries of Taoism. However, many people believe that they are scholars, so each session is elegant and elegant, and the ancient rituals and music are preserved without affectation. Yao Yi was founded in the old society of Dongshan (originally in Baihe Temple). In the late Ming Dynasty, it began with Gui Xiang Society in the city. In the early Qing Dynasty, someone prayed for Geng Xu, traveled to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and studied music rules, which was quite conductive. In the early years of Guangxu, Ma Siliang was arranged by Dong Zhe, and the music score was refined, so Guanglu Society corrected the melody, and Gui Xiang Society also copied Xi Zhi. Naturally, Yao An's classic music began to return to elegance. Musical instruments include Zheng, arpeggio, bagpipes, bells, drums, cymbals and cymbals. The amount of funds and goods varies from institution to institution, and is kept by calibration instruments, which rotate and move every year. Those who join the club first say they have a long history, while the young say they are seniors. Joining the club, I feel young and orderly, polite and personable, and have seen the society. Yang Lvgan's Draft of Zhaotong County Records (Volume 6) contains Dong Jingtan, whose teaching is taught by introspection, mainly by talking and reciting, supplemented by music. It is men who pray for sunshine, rain, Christmas, celebration and crossing over, but no women. These records show that the Dongjing music in Yunnan has begun to flourish in the Ming Dynasty, and other statements are only varieties introduced from Sichuan.

The Qing Dynasty was the heyday of Yunnan Dongjing music's great popularization, development, prosperity and integration. There are different numbers of Dong Jing bands in more than 20 counties and large towns with large population in the whole province/KLOC-0. Moreover, the organization is sound, and activities have been standardized, institutionalized and regularized. It gradually spread to Myanmar and Vietnam with the caravan's whereabouts. Due to the social unrest in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, people from Chuxiong, Dali, Baoshan and Tengchong in western Yunnan moved to Myitkyina and Mandalay in Myanmar to do business. People from Mengzi, Gejiu, Shiping, Jianshui and other places in southern Yunnan ran to Vietnam, and caves flowed into different gangs through music, which took root and blossomed among Chinese. People in Yunnan leave their homes and miss their relatives every festive season. On the occasion of festivals, they began to read scriptures and play musical instruments. The sweet and pleasant country music made many people in China cry homesickness. ...

During the Republic of China, Yunnan was still playing Dongjing music as an example. Even before Tang began to crusade against Yuan Shikai, he invited the cave dwelling in the provincial capital to hold talks and offer flags. On the eve of liberation, there were eight or nine Dong Jing bands in Kunming. After the liberation of Yunnan, a group of Dong Jing elders headed by Peng set up the Ancient Music Research Association to collect and arrange music scores.
