Brahma music, also known as Buddhist music or Brahma, is not only a unique vocal music with religious characteristics, but also an indispensable form in Buddhist activities, which exists in Buddhist ceremonies. Hui Jue in the Biography of the Eminent Monk in the Liang Dynasty once textual research: "Tianzhu is a national custom and emphasizes the system of literature. Its palace merchants have a rhyme, and they are good at entering the string. They see the instrument of Buddha and praise the song. " Indeed, from the point of view that Buddhism exists in the world, the praise and admiration for Buddhist scriptures can only be expressed by singing, reciting and reciting, and the original intention of Bai Fan is to sing Buddhist scriptures with orchestral string sounds. It can be seen that the existence and application of Brahma music in Buddhist scriptures and activities naturally originated from Buddhism, and at the same time solemnly enshrined Buddhism, which brought far-reaching blessings and incentives for the promotion and spread of Buddhism; On the other hand, Buddhism has always attached importance to music and "preached and taught to confuse people". Advocating the role of music in serving Buddhist teachings, Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist documents mostly involve music, and expounding various Buddhist views on music.
The spread of Brahma music in China is closely related to Buddhism. The White Horse carries scriptures, Buddhism was introduced to China, and Brahma began to spread in China. The early Buddhist activities in China naturally inherited the form of Brahma, which was called "Westernization" in the history of Buddhism, and Brahma nurtured the land of China. In the history of Buddhism, Zhu Falan, a famous master of Tianzhu, and Kang Sanghui, a master of Kangju, made positive contributions to the spread of Brahma in China. The latter two were the founders of Brahma in the north and south. Zanning, the abbot of Suoguo Temple in the Song Dynasty, said in the Biography of Monks: "The original match was to spread the aurora and translate it into Hanting, and there was Zhu Falan in the north before the truth was announced; There is only the Kangsang Club in the south, which rhymes to ridicule. " It reveals that the difference between the north and the south in China and Bai Fan is formed by the majestic and bold north and the tragic and melodious south. Both laid the foundation for Brahma's development in China. On the other hand, through the Silk Road, since Buddhism was introduced into the Eastern Han Dynasty, musical instruments such as violin, pipa, violin, Dutan drum, chicken jar drum, brass cymbals, shells, and many famous songs, such as "Fighting Music on the Maha", as well as advocacy, rap and Su Hao. In 802 AD, Prince Shwenadaw, the king of ancient India, personally led 32 bands and dance troupes to visit China and presented ten kinds of musical instruments, which greatly promoted the development of Buddhist music in China. Many good deeds eventually promoted the further development of China since the Tang and Song Dynasties, and formed the perfect and famous Brahma music such as Yanshan Eighteen Tunes. Since the Song Dynasty, China Buddhism has strengthened the secularization guiding function of Buddhism to secular society, unified the way of seeking liberation from birth with the way of Confucian self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world, pursued the unity of learning Buddhism, being a man and educating the society, and introduced patriotism into Buddhism, which conformed to the fate of the motherland. This state full of fresh air is the so-called Buddhist globalization in the history of Buddhism. The same is true of Brahma's music in Song Dynasty, which made some achievements in morality, customs and art. The Brahma's music in this period was different from that before Tang Dynasty and continued to develop and improve. This development and perfection is mainly manifested in the deepening of technical practice, social secular life, social atmosphere and social soul and people's emotional life. As far as Sanskrit in Dasuoguo Temple is concerned, since the Northern Song Dynasty, due to the extensive and in-depth contact and cooperation between the temple, the imperial court and the people, Sanskrit in the temple has absorbed a large number of Han folk music and court music, and formed its own free style, aiming at improving morality, purifying people's hearts and harmonious society. The temple not only takes the "Royal Buddhist Temple" as its self-discipline, but also devotes itself to various ceremonial activities with the imperial court, taking the solemn land as its own responsibility. In addition, the Vimo Courtyard Concert Hall was built in the temple for elegant people to enjoy the "Chun Xue", and a music shed was set up to hold the popular music festival of "Xialiba people" all the year round, which promoted Brahma music in the temple to the society and people's daily life. This rare form and grand occasion of Brahma's activities before the Song Dynasty not only deeply rooted in people's hearts, but also expanded Brahma's influence to the greatest extent, and achieved the magnificent momentum and basic characteristics of the cultural mind of the Suoguo Temple. In addition, due to the unique social and political status of Suoguo Temple, as a treasure hall with the function of managing the temples in the world, its own Brahma music is also a standard and model, which not only represents the imperial etiquette to the greatest extent, but also is the most typical representative of the traditional music in the Central Plains.
