Beijing Zhihua Temple was first built in the ninth year of the Zhengtong Period of the Ming Dynasty (1444). It was originally built by Wang Zhen, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies during the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. In 1961, it was listed as one of the first national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council. Zhihua Temple Beijing music has been passed down for more than 560 years and is known as the "living fossil" of ancient Chinese music. Zhihua Temple Beijing music has distinct artistic characteristics: the music style is solemn, simple and elegant, the structure of the music is huge and standardized, the performance techniques are rich, and the repertoire is huge. It has high requirements in terms of inheritance, does not arbitrarily add, delete or change, and pays attention to protection and inheritance. Zhihua Temple Beijing music faithfully preserves the basic style of traditional Chinese music and provides a typical and vivid example for studying the connotation and changes of traditional Chinese culture. From the existing data, most scholars believe that Beijing music is related to the ancient music of the Tang and Song dynasties. It preserves the old system of the Song and Ming dynasties in many aspects such as repertoire, musical instruments, palace tunes, and performance methods. Traditional repertoires include "Happy Autumn Wind", "Taking the Swan", "Qingjiang Yin", "Plum Blossom Yin", "Xiao Huayan", "Zui Wengzi", etc. Since the 1950s, many famous musicians in my country have conducted research on Zhihua Temple Jing music and achieved fruitful results. Since the 1980s, Zhihua Temple Jing music has been discovered and rescued by the government, music and Buddhist circles, but there are still many problems that are difficult to solve. Most of the 26 generations of old monks in Zhihua Temple have passed away. The current surviving Benxing and Fu Guang are both old, and the 27th generation of inheritors urgently need to improve their skills. The huge changes in the current society have made the development of Zhihua Temple Jing music difficult. In the past two years, with the efforts of many parties, the 45 existing pieces of music have been recorded in time. However, the number of inheritors of Zhihua Temple Jing music is still very short, the band cannot reach the original scale, the timbre and content are single, and it is far from expressing the style of the original ancient music. Zhihua Temple Jing music is still in danger of being lost and urgently needs further rescue and protection.
