Taoist sentiment, which originated from the rhyme sung by Taoism in the Taoist temple in the Tang Dynasty, is a poetic praise. After the Song Dynasty, it absorbed epigrams and qupai and evolved into a folk sermon.

Rhyme singing, also known as Doug. Accompanied by fishing drums and simple boards, similar to drum lyrics. Later, the poetic praise in Daoqing was mainly popular in the south, and it was a rap Daoqing with alternating songs and lyrics. A branch of Qupai style is popular in the north, and has developed into a Taoist drama in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places, with [children's play], [soap robe] and [Qingjiang introduction] as the main vocals, and the drums and vocals of Shaanxi Opera and Bangzi are adopted, gradually forming Taoist dramas in various places. The content includes four categories: drama of promoting immortals, drama of encouraging goodness in Xiu De, drama of folk life, drama of historical stories and drama of legendary case-solving. Some places call it a fishing drum or a bamboo harp.

Daoqing is the predecessor of fishing drum. Taoist sentiment, also known as "Huang Guan Ti" (Huang Guan may refer to the costumes of Taoist people), is a Taoist affair of Taoist singing. The name is Daoqing, and it is too empty to send feelings, and there is a thought of eating clothes and clothes. There may have been Taoist songs in the Tang Dynasty, and the simple board of fishing drums began in the Song Dynasty. Although Taoist feelings appeared earlier, there are few handed down works. What we can see now is ten paragraphs of Taoist feelings in Zheng Banqiao (generally speaking, singing only includes the above five paragraphs). ) and Xu Dachun's feelings of returning to the stream. This genre has declined to extinction. Since the Republic of China, there have been no learning materials left, and this art has disappeared.

Taoist music has rich forms of expression. According to legend, there are 72 divertimentos and 100 kinds of tunes, but now only 13 divertimentos and 96 kinds of tunes can be collected, all of which are couplets. It uses some tunes of various palace tunes to form a large-scale aria with distinct levels. Each divertimento has six different tunes of "Positive, Negative, Flat, Bitter, Rush and Tight", and vocals improvise as needed. For example, the structure of Children's Play includes six tunes: Children's Play, Children's Play, Children's Play, Children's Play, Children's Play, Children's Play, Children's Play, Children's Play. This "positive, negative, flat, bitter, blunt and tight" has different contents: "positive" refers to singing with a positive cavity, and the tone of singing with a positive cavity is generally "up"; "Anti" means singing in an anti-tone, and the tone of singing in an anti-tone is "Hui"; "Peace" refers to a normal mood, while "bitterness" refers to a sad and painful mood, both of which are opposite. "Tightness" means that the vocal structure is compact, and "grabbing" means that the vocal structure is cheerful, light and similar to the speed of "grabbing". In addition, Daoqing also skillfully borrowed from the intermediary board, running water, rolling white and Kunqu singing in "Jin Opera" to make up for its own shortcomings. The "fishing drum" in music accompaniment is a unique instrument of Taoism, and its instruments in the field of martial arts are roughly the same as those in Bangzi Opera.

Representative dramas of traditional Chinese operas include: Han Xiangzi Becoming a Monk, Sean Ci Chao, Zhuang Zhoumeng, Cao Zhuang Killing Dogs, Guo Ju Burying Children, Wang Xiang Sleeping Fish, Old and Young Changing Wives, Bowling and Potting, etc.
