Related Researches On The Jade Sound Celestial Model-A Zang Music Book Of The Dai Temple In The Mount Tai

Chinese traditional music culture including the ritual music and popular music, which has existed and developed for thousands of years, has kept a consistency of some degree under the institutional restrictions. The consistency is embodied in such levels as ontology-centered features, rhythm composing organ, etc. Actually, the existing traditional music culture has the feature of regional abundance in its integrity. The national system consolidates the criteria for the ritual music and popular music, thus to guarantee that the applications and inheritance of the ritual music and popular music existing in the palace, the prince's residence, local feudal official's residence, and the army are carried out in one system. Therefore, various studies on ontological consistency under the system have begun to appear.The Mount Tai which as some symbolic meaning in Chinese historical culture is superior to other celebrated mountains. Therefore, Taoism develops here. The Taoism temples in the Mount Tai and the adjacent areas form an essentially important scene, and they are closely correlated with the fetes in the Mount Tai and the local districts where music is a frequent companion. One form of the ritual music is that the fete is the ritual and the fete employs music. The eighteen music books of "Jade sound celestial model" which are copied in the period from Qing dynasty to the Republic of China and is marked with such samples as "Jun temple", "Yao can pavilion", "Jade emperor temple", "Dai temple" and which are discovered in the Dai temple museum in 1981, play an important role in our cognition of the fetes and ceremonial music in the Mount Tai and the adjacent areas in this period. The study concentrates its research object on the Zang music book and carries out some related researches on the basis of it.The paper makes a clear illustration about the historical palace fete music, the special historical position and special music forms of the Mount Tai, and the relation between the Taoists in Ming and Qing dynasties and the national ritual music. By the analyses of the Mount Tai fete music and the abundance of the kinds of music embodied in the Zang music book, the study makes an accurate position for the music book. Although the Zang music book' cover is marked with two words-"Jade sound", its music is not uniquely created by the Taoism, but adopts the mainstream music in the society and then is named "Jade sound", therefore, to some extent, the music in the Zang music book is consistent with the popular music in the society, moreover, the Zang music book is composed in the form of common words. The study analyzes the root names of each music book and some scholars' confirmation of their direct origin relation with Xi'an drum music, and attempts to translate more than one hundred musics in the Zang music book, and mainly discusses the rich implication of the Zang music book, and discriminates the relation between the mainstream music in the music book system and the Mount Tai fete, the Taoism inheritance, and the local employment of drum music. Furthermore, the paper takes "Towards the son of heaven" as an example to demonstrate the vertical communication of the ritual music inheritance under the feudal governmental system, and makes a comparison between "Seven melodies to welcome the celestial guests" which owns typical Zang music book and "Seven palaces' revivification" in northeast China drum music, to reveal the communication and consistency on the ontology-centered level of the music. In addition, the study focuses on the research of the integrity of music in the Dai temple Zang music book and some traditional music in Shandong ProvinceThe paper employs the Dai temple Zang music books in the Mount Tai as a cut-in, and then analyzes a variety of cultural information embodied in the Zang music book and the fete music in the Mount Tai, and puts the music book in the larger cultural context and relates the Zang music book with the current active samples, thus to perceive the historical and current meanings of the traditional music.
