Two records held together: the Macao SAR Government Cultural Affairs Bureau's own Cultural Heritage detail page for "Taoist Ritual Music," stating it is "commonly used in Taoist ceremonies" and "remains an integral part of traditional Chinese folk music," naming both the Zhengyi and Quanzhen Taoist schools and tracing the tradition to Taoist priests from Guangdong who settled in Macao in the early twentieth century, with 1923 and 1933 ceremonies at the Kiang Wu Hospital introducing Quanzhen School music to the region; and the same Bureau's own event page for a 31 October 2020 performance at Mandarin's House, repeating the 8 May 2009 Macao inscription and 11 June 2011 national inscription dates and naming Ng Peng Chi as a recognised inheritor of the tradition, fourth batch, 20 December 2012.
