「源流」談的是「在什麼時候？什麼地方？什麼條件下？產生這件事」、是「從哪裡來，如何發展下去」。　　「師承流派」談的是「師父是誰？」、「像不像」的層面，本文傾向後者「像不像」層面的探討。　　八音的源流，現在所見所聞尚屬傳說，還未見令人信服的考證。　　臺南地區分布曾文溪流域以南地區的八音團，確實建構起以左鎮鄉岡子林為中心的師承系統，而相關證據還需繼續補強。　　至於未能與岡子林八音顯示師承系統的八音樂團，從團組織形態和編制的角度探查運用樂團和使用樂器的邏輯，雖然可以結成一個人音網，但是要結成系統的師承網，則還有其他研究的面向待開發。

　　“Origin” concerns with the time, the place, and cirucumstances that help to cause the beginning something.“Passing down from the masters and variant sects” concerns those who are the masters of that something and their resemblance.What is believed to the origin of Bayin at this time is still only a legend. Credible evidence and proof of it have not been found yet.The Bayintwan spreading around the area south of Ziengwun River connects with the heritage coming from the linage of those masters of 岡子林 in 左鎮. However, the exiting related evidence of needs to be strengthened.Given the information of the patterns of organization and arrangement of the members of those Bayinwans, who are believed to not be originating from 岡子林 in 左鎮, some connection of them can be found. However, to form a systematic lineage of certain Bayin masters more aspects need to be understood in further research.
