In the Song Dynasty, the imperial court strengthened the sacrifice activities, the Temple of the Shun Emperor of the Nine Doubts Mountain was restored, and the sacrifice activities were carried out normally. Zhu Xi, a master of science, also wrote the lyrics of the ritual Shun music dance lyrics "Yu Temple Music Lyrics".
During the Five Dynasties period, wars were frequent. Ningyuan Jiuzhi Mountain is a Yao people's settlement. Because the Yao people could not bear the economic plunder and political oppression of the imperial court, they rebelled many times. In the third year of later Zhou Guangshun (953), the Yao people of Jiuzhi Mountain revolted under the leadership of Pan Chong. Under the influence of social unrest and war for many years, the Temple of emperor Shun of Jiuqi Mountain fell into disrepair and was almost abandoned again.
In 960, Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chen Qiao Mutiny, seized the Power of Later Zhou, and established the Northern Song Dynasty. After the establishment of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, the protection and management of the ancient imperial tombs and temples were strengthened. During the Jianlong period of The Song Dynasty (960-963), Wang Jixun was ordered to rebuild the Temple of emperor Shun of Jiuqi Mountain in order to inspect the Taibao and Xingdao Prefecture Assassin History.
In the first year of Qiande (963), Song Taizu issued an edict stipulating the sacrifice of ancient emperors. The Song Shi Li Zhi (宋史礼志) says: "Qian Dechu, the emperors of the Zhao Dynasty, the state has a permanent enjoyment, written in the Shen Ling, can be lifted and carried out... According to the ancestral decree, the previous emperors enjoyed it every three years, and the cattle were used in the middle of the spring month; the officials were the governors of the prefecture, and if there was a reason, they acted on the zuo, and the officials made sacrifices and sent them to the temples. He also commanded the previous emperors to be enshrined in the ceremony,...... Taihao, The Yellow Emperor, Gao Xin, Tang Yao, Yu Shun... Each placed five households to guard the tomb, and the Spring and Autumn Ancestral Hall was imprisoned in the etheric prison. "In the sixth year of Qiande (968), Song Taizu ordered the Temple of Nine Doubts mountain Shun to be sacrificed every three years. All this can show that in the Song Dynasty, the imperial court attached great importance to the protection and management of the Shun Emperor Mausoleum Temple on jiuquan mountain, and took many positive measures. The ShunDi Mausoleum Temple of the Nine Doubts Mountain of the Song Dynasty was rebuilt on the basis of the Shundi Tomb Temple of the Tang Dynasty, maintaining the specifications and scale of the Shundi Tomb Temple of the Tang Dynasty, and the address is still in front of yuzhenyan.
The sacrifices are the most solemn ceremonies. The forms of the festival include the Tsukidai Wang Festival, the Mausoleum Front Fire Festival, the Temple Literary Festival, the Temple Song Festival, and the Lile Song and Dance Festival. The Chikudai Festival was developed from the suburban festival. During the sacrifice, an altar was set up, firewood was burned, and the sacrifice of Emperor Shun began with Dayu and ended with Emperor Wu of Han. The mausoleum is a form of sacrifice that burns sacrifices and sacrificial utensils with fire, so that the fragrance reaches the sky with the smoke to communicate with the gods. During the sacrifice, there is usually a special altar and a pit for the sacrifice. After the chief priest lit the fire of the sacrifice at the altar, the participants prayed to burn and then buried the pit of the sacrifice, indicating that the festival had communicated with the gods being sacrificed. Temple ritual sacrifice is a form of sacrifice developed on the basis of burning sacrifice. During the sacrifice, the sacrifice text is read to the throne of Emperor Shun, and then burned, that is, "reading blessings" and "burning the book". It is not known when this ritual of reading the altar began, but it was already available in the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty at the latest. Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Dynasty commanded XiangZhou to assassinate Zhang Shao to sacrifice Shun, and then Shi'an Taishou Yanyan drafted a tribute text for Zhang Shao, as evidenced by this. Since then, all the sacrifices have had the rituals of "reading blessings" and "burning books". Temple song and sacrifice is to increase the singing ceremony when offering Shun, and in addition to "reading blessings", the sacrifice team will sing the merits of Emperor Shun. The use of lyrics in the sacrifice of Shun is uncertain, but it will not be later than the time when the Middle Tang Dynasty Yuan was appointed to the History of Daozhou. Because at that time, Yuan Jie also personally composed the "Supplemental Music Song and Dashao", which was used for song sacrifice. The ritual song and dance festival is to join the dance during the sacrifice, and the sacrifice team dances with the song. This form began in the Song Dynasty and became customized in the Qing Dynasty.
After entering the Tang Dynasty, with the widespread and deepening of the spread of Buddhism, the traditional living habits of the people underwent great changes, and traditional Confucianism was impacted. People of insight in the Song Dynasty, such as Sima Guang and Zhu Xi, realized that the ritual system in the Ritual Rites was typical of Chinese Confucian culture and must not be allowed to disappear completely from Chinese society. To this end, in line with the trend of the times, they carried out the reform of simplifying the "Ritual Rites", taking the fine use of hong, and extracting the crown, marriage, funeral, and sacrifice ceremonies that best reflected the Confucian humanistic spirit, taking the lead in implementing them, and advocating them among the scholars, and received relatively positive results. The Song Dynasty made special provisions on the issue of sacrifice to Shun, and when singing and sacrificing, there was a unified music, and the lyrics used Zhu Xi's "Yu Temple Music Song". The lyrics are as follows:
The Emperor wuwei is the shadow of the mountain, and the long and thin is overlooked and clear. What is the state of Ji ji? The soil is drowned. The emperor's benevolence is as good as it is, and the people are not poor. With the love of Pei Huangze, Chang Lingwei is boundless. Clean bottle and fat, nine songs and dances. Oh Mo repays the Emperor's 祐, the Emperor wants to go down like a sheep, fierce wind and thunder and twilight rain.
Since then, Zhu Xi's "Yu Temple Music Song" has become the common lyrics of the festival.
