Every ordained Taoist temple with a resident community keeps the morning and evening liturgies, the zaowanke, at dawn and dusk. The clergy assemble robed and in formation and chant a set sequence to a percussion frame of drum, bell, wooden fish, cymbal and chime, with the Qingjing Jing among the standard texts. In Quanzhen monasteries the discipline is strict and attendance is the visible measure of a cleric's seriousness; the whole daily schedule is built around the two services. Priests describe the chanting as cultivation rather than performance — sustaining the correct pitch, breath and attention through a long liturgy is itself a qi practice, and the texts are internalised by repetition until they can be held in mind during meditation. Contemporary accounts of monastic life in Chinese temples describe the day as scripture chanting, health cultivation exercises, calligraphy and study, with these two services as its fixed points.
