Music, for example, absorbed foreign music and composed 10 songs, including Xiliang, Gaochang and Yan Qing. This kind of dance absorbed the sword dance and Hu Xuan dance in the western regions, and reached the peak of the feudal dance art in China. There have been court dances with rich contents, various forms, grand scale and spectacular forms. The imperial court also set up special music and dance organizations, such as teaching studios and pear gardens.
