Palace Song and Dance in Manchu Dance

Court songs and dances appear in festivals, expeditions, triumphs, celebrations, banquets and many other court activities. Some are entertained by Manchu royalty and nobles, and some are performed by professional actors. In addition to the traditional songs and dances, the Qing Dynasty also accepted the ritual and music system inherited from previous dynasties, such as neutralization and less music in suburban temples, single-stroke big music, neutralization and music in court banquets, single-stroke Le Qing and so on. The traditional Manchu songs and dances are incorporated into the lyrics of court songs and dances, which is different from the traditional movements of past dynasties.
