Abstract

Taoism music is an important part of Chinese traditional music. Because Taoism music is rarely influenced by war and dynasty change, it preserves the original appearance of traditional music and is called the "living fossil" of Chinese music. Zhengyi Taoism in Nanyue, Hunan Province belongs to folk Taoism, and its musical elements, on the basis of maintaining the aesthetic characteristics of Taoist music, embody rich local folk musical elements with obvious characteristics. This paper analyzes the process and music ontology of Nanyue Zhengyi Taoism ritual music, and summarizes its characteristics.
