1. Introduction to Buddhist music Buddhist music (Buddhist music) is the tunes sung by Buddhists during religious ceremonies. The development of Buddhist music in Han China began with Sanskrit chanting, which is a kind of Buddhist music with chanting nature that was passed down from India. It includes chanting scriptures and singing praises. Cao Zhi, the King of Chensi of Wei, edited the "Suiying Benqi Jing" at Yushan in Dong'e County (now Shandong) and composed Yushan chanting, which was the beginning of Sanskrit chanting in the East. Since the popularity of southern and northern tunes in the Yuan Dynasty, Buddhist chants all use the tunes of southern and northern tunes. Now there are nearly 200 southern and northern tunes used in general Buddhist music. 2. Classification Jiuhuashan Buddhist music can be roughly divided into two categories: ritual music and temple music based on content, singing objects and occasions (scope). Ritual music belongs to Buddhist music such as praises and gathas sung in front of the Buddha in the temple. It mainly includes praises, gathas, mantras, mantras, wishes, and three-name Bodhisattvas. Among them, praises and gathas are more musical, while others are mostly chanting. There are two types of praise: six-line praise and eight-line praise. The six-line praise is usually used. The lyrics of the gatha (1), whether four, five or seven words, are generally composed of four sentences. There are many types such as "praise the Buddha gatha" and "return to the gatha". Temple music is Buddhist music sung in temples to promote Buddhism and liberate the dead. The music color, style, interest and singing form of the Buddhist music are different. The tune is relatively bright, the folk color is relatively strong, and it has a certain folk custom. 3. Musical mode Jiuhua Mountain Buddhist music has a rich variety of modes, including gong, shang, jue, zheng and yu modes. Among them, zheng and shang are the most common, followed by gong and jue, and yu is the third. The melody is mainly stepped, without much ups and downs, mostly in 4/4 time. The musical expression features are numerous and the content is different. When singing, most of them are one person singing, and everyone sings together, or singing and chanting alternately. When singing, the instrument (percussion instrument) is used to accompany the music. 4. Inheritance Significance Jiuhuashan Buddhist music is rich in content and has a long history.
