A Study of Culture of Court Theatre during the Qing Dynasty

随着满族人对中国的统治不断扩大，在东亚建立了欧亚帝国——满清帝国（大清古伦），他们在其占领的地区重新加工了各种形式的传统文化，并将其作为国家统治的工具。以戏剧为例，在与娱乐相关的元素中加入了仪式元素，并作为一种不同于儒家古典仪式音乐的新形式在中国国内外得到推广。这是清朝的宫廷戏剧，它的特点与民间戏剧不同，民间戏剧带有强烈的宗教仪式色彩，在各省城市和整个农村演出。

As the Manchus extended their rule over China and built up the Manchu empire (Daicing gurun), a Eurasian empire, in East Asia, they reprocessed various forms of traditional culture in the regions they occupied and used them as instruments of state rule. In the case of the theatre, ritual elements were added to elements associated with entertainment, and it came to be promoted both inside and outside China as a new form of ritual music, differing from the classical ritual music of Confucianism. This was the court theatre of the Qing, and it differed in character from the folk plays, with their strong tinges of religious rites, that were performed in provincial cities and throughout the countryside.
