Abstract
In this chapter, the authors draw on the ideas of Laozi and Zhuangzi to examine Daoist philosophies of music. In particular, the authors discuss the following musical themes: (1) “The Five Tones Deafen Humans’ Ears” (wuyin lingren erlong 五音令人耳聾), (2) “The Great Note Is Rarified Sound” (dayin xisheng 大音希聲), (3) “Harmony of Refined Notes and Raw Sounds” (yinsheng xianghe 音聲相和), and (4) “The Three Pipings” (sanlai 三籟). Next, the authors propose their implications for music education, highlighting in particular how Daoist philosophies of music are exemplified in the musical practice of the guqin and foreground the value of silence—which seems particularly relevant and timely in the modern world. The authors conclude by suggesting potential directions whereby Daoist philosophical ideas may continue to illuminate music education in the future.
