The local chronicles of the Min-Tai district during the Qing Dynasty present varied accounts of the sacrificial music of Chong(Qi)Sheng Temple.This study seeks to reconcile these apparent disparities through a synthesis of historical literature and oral traditions,aiming to elucidate the historical verities and capture the core of the practice.In the Ming and Qing dynasties,drumming music was the prevalent accompaniment for rituals at the Chong Sheng Temple(formerly known as Qi Sheng Temple),as commissioned by the local authorities.The divergent descriptions of the temple's sacrificial music within the Min-Tai district's chronicles appear contradictory but may,in fact,represent differing perspectives on a singular historical reality.This analysis proposes that the discrepancies stem from the contextual limitations of the chroniclers and varying interpretations of ritualistic and musical principles of the time.
