Abstract
Music was one of the earliest forms of art to interest ancient Chinese philosophers. While the Confucian school of thought dominated the debate on music in the Zhou China, other philosophies, such as Taoism and Mohism, also sought to define the influence of music both on the individual members of the society and the whole country. The aim of the paper is to describe the musical thought of Taoism and Mohism and to contrast them with the definition found in the Confucian books and treatises.
