More than 20 years ago, by chance, Ching Tien decided to "look for ancient music hidden behind time", which was mainly hidden in the religious world. He believes that in the process of the formation of religious music, it once directly absorbed nutrition from secular music; After its formation, it is also inextricably linked with and influenced by non-religious music. After secular music was drowned in the dust of history as time passed, "the walls of temples and palaces formed huge refrigerators, which largely isolated all kinds of harassment and maintained the continuation of tradition." With this belief, Ching Tien traveled to more than 200 temples and Taoist temples all over the country to excavate, sort out and study the traditional religious music resources in China, which not only preserved a lot of precious music materials, but also made him an accomplished religious music theorist in China. Researcher Ching Tien is recognized as an academic leader in the research field of traditional religious music in China by the Buddhist and music circles.
