摘要

Limited by the writing habits of the small tradition, conventional scholars tend to interpret "golden sound and jade vibration" as a musical tempo representing virtues of saints. In fact, we can prove how "golden sound and jade vibration" are closely linked to the sacred material beliefs (e.g.,"holy gold","holy jade") and the prehistoric religious ritual activities, by using various oral cultures and physical images, deeply exploring the profound cultural roots of "golden sound" and "jade vibration" in the local knowledge tradition and tracing its genetic system back to the prehistoric Jade Age and Bronze Age. The concept of "golden sound and jade vibration" is the sacred aural symbol of the "sage" entering the imaginary and illusionary realm. It also highlights the genetic system of the sage having "great accomplishments" and the Chinese ritual music system.
