{{Rituals}}
The Wood Fish ( 木魚 Muyu ) is a kind of Daoist musical instrument used for striking during scripture recitation. It is a wood block shaped like a fish and so is named Wood Fish. Another saying goes that it is shaped like a man's head. The Wood Fish is used in combination with the Inverted Bell ( 馨 Qing ) during scripture recitation, for the Chinese word for bell sounds like the Chinese word for "awaken", and the term Wood Fish sounds like "enlighten". The scripture ''[[Essential Secrets of Most High]]'' says, "The Wood Fish and the Pure Bell awaken the universe".
