The development process can be divided into three stages： court-song Tao Tsing, folk-song Tao Tsing and regional-song Tao Tsing. Through the thousand years of development and transmission, Tao Tsing experienced the heritage and innovation from court to civilian as well as from temple to the country, it reflects the tortuous stretches and deep heritage of the development of folk art in China, displaying the everlasting charm of national culture.
