In contrast to the solemn chanting heard in temples and monasteries, this new melodic, orchestral form made for good background music at places of worship, where it enhanced the atmosphere of devotion. It also found favor with ordinary believers, who could play it at home while cooking, eating and doing their chores, confident that Buddha wouldn't be offended.
這種祥和又充滿音樂旋律的絲竹雅樂，有別於過去寺廟裡嚴肅的梵唄讚誦，不僅可以做為寺廟平時的環境音樂，增加道場的宗教氣氛，也廣受一般信徒的喜愛，常在炒菜、用餐或做家事時播放，而不至於有冒犯佛陀菩薩的顧慮。
