From the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the central government of the Ming Dynasty implemented the system of separating military and civilian camps in Yunnan, leaving hundreds of thousands of southern soldiers to stay in Yunnan. Decades later, a large number of Central Plains immigrants entered Yunnan. Tengchong, an extremely important town, is a battleground for military strategists and naturally becomes an important destination for military and civilian villages. Large-scale personnel migration will inevitably bring music culture from all parts of the Central Plains to Tengchong. These pieces of music not only maintain the solemn and elegant charm of the ancient music in the Central Plains, but also incorporate the lively tones of frontier songs, thus forming Tengchong ancient music-Dongjing Music. Dongjing music is the oldest and most influential genre in Tengyue ancient music. It has profound meaning, solemn melody and beautiful voice, and is a symbol of nobility and good luck. Because Dongjing Music has always been a temple fair music offering sacrifices to Emperor Wenchang, Sage Guan and Sage Kong, the participants of Dongjing Fair in history are all scholars with status, status and reputation. Tengchong people advocate Dongjing and love Dongjing music, and many folk etiquette activities are attended by Dongjing. Dongjing music is not Taoist music. It should be said that it is a unique local folk music variety in Yunnan, and it is a folk music art activity with folk sacrifice as the main content. Named after talking about the performance of Wenchang Cave Fairy Classic (referred to as Cave Classic for short), this book was created by the Taoist "Shangqing School" in the Jin Dynasty in China and is one of the four biographies of Cave Classic in the national database. Speaking of performing classics, it is customary to call it "poetry praise music". People in Tengchong have different opinions about when, where and by whom Dong Jing was introduced into Tengchong. It is said that in the Ming Dynasty, when Tengchong Shicheng was completed, it celebrated the county cave sutra and invited a cave sutra from Dali to entertain it, which was the beginning of the cave sutra. According to records, The Sutra of Heshun Cave was handed down by Jiang Ba, a native of Heqing, Dali, during the Qianlong period. Liujiazhai Cave in Gudong is said to have been introduced from Heqing during Guangxu period. Although the introduction methods are different, the qupai, band, configuration and playing style of Dongjing in different places are similar. The playing instruments of Tengchong Dongjing are composed of China folk instruments, such as stringed instruments, orchestral instruments, plucked instruments and percussion instruments. The classics sung at the Dongjing Conference mainly include the Fairy Classic of Wenchang Dadong and the True Classic of Guan Sheng Di Jun Shi Jue, commonly known as "Wen Jing" and "Five Classics". Qupai can be divided into cavity music and qu music. The names of tunes come from poets in Tang and Song Dynasties, Yuanqu, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there are also a few music brands. The total is over forty. The performance mode is mainly classic, combining singing and playing, and giving certain religious ceremonies, which are solemn, elegant and unpretentious. Representative tunes include Grand Dance Troupe, Suo Nanqu, Yijiangfeng, Huaqiang, Mantra, Dadong and Beijing Bagua Palm. The Great Dance Team is a tune played by Dong Jing. It was originally a ritual music played for ancient sacrifices, major celebrations or welcoming VIPs. The whole song is warm and grand. Lock the south branch, one river wind, flower hall, etc. , are indispensable tunes in the ten sacrificial ceremonies of Lingxuan Wenchang Cave. Known as treasure support, it has a beautiful melody and smells like spring breeze. "Flower Collection" is called flower support in ten offerings, which is loud and clear; The Mantra Room, also known as the mantra of the Great Hole, is a whole classic summary song, solemn, elegant and simple.

It was not until the early 1980s that normal activities resumed. In recent years, Tengchong's urban and rural cave economy organizations have been rapidly restored and developed.
