Abstract  The mid to late Ming dynasty is a key period in the decline of “Watching the Ethers”. During the early Ming, Watching the Ethers was included into the official music system in The New Book of Temperament, and the discussion around authentication of the practice developed against this background. Based on the views of all parties, the process of discussion can be summarized as going through three stages corresponding to the reigns of Chenghua and Hongzhi, Zhengde and Jiajing, and Longqing and Wanli. The main influences on the debate were changes in the official music system and fluctuations in the views of each party.

Key wordsWatching the Ethers      Ming Dynasty Music      Ming Dynasty Music System
