In the Ming Dynasty,the trend of royal palaces was prevalent,with feudal palaces throughout the area.The music of feudal palaces became one of the main subjects of music during that period.From the numerous feudal lords’ palaces in the Ming Dynasty,it can be seen that the Zhou clan had a large scale and played an important role in the feudal lords’ palaces.Their palaces were frequently organized,with lively and lively performances of drama and instrumental music,as well as the performance of the Central Plains strings in the Ming Dynasty.The importance of music activities in the Ming Dynasty’s Zhou Wang Mansion is self-evident and should have received widespread attention and research.However,this is not the case.Currently,research results are mostly concentrated in the fields of literature and drama,with few in the field of music.The article takes the Zhou Wang Mansion as the scope of investigation,with music activities as the research object,and conducts a micro case study.Detailed depiction of the three-dimensional landscape of royal palace music provides empirical research cases for understanding the connection between local royal palace music and local music.Through research,we aim to clarify the connections between various music events,in order to gain a more intuitive understanding of the unique role played by the Wangfu music activities as a special entity in the inheritance of music culture.The article uses literature research method,based on previous research materials and literature,to discuss the music activities of the Ming Dynasty Zhou Wang Mansion.Its music activities mainly focus on three aspects: the creation and performance of zaju,instrumental music activities,and the Zhongyuan string rope.Based on literature,describe the elegant and luxurious music and cultural life of the feudal government,as well as the prosperity of singing and dancing.Summarize the reasons for the formation of the music culture of the Zhou Wang Mansion,highlight the inheritance and innovation of the imperial court music by the feudal government,and explain the profound influence of the Ming Dynasty Wang Mansion music.In the Ming Dynasty,the music life in the Zhou Prince’s Mansion was elegant and luxurious,and the singing and dancing in the mansion were peaceful.In the early Ming Dynasty,the music activities of the feudal government were led by the performance and creation of zaju,which mainly focused on northern opera with harmonious melody and was widely sung in later generations.The article highlights the innovative changes in the singing methods and the use of Qupai in the creation of Zaju by King Xian of Zhou,Zhu Youstew,and its impact on the development of ancient Chinese opera art.Taking the pipa performances and teaching activities of Tang Yingzeng,Zhang Xiong,and others in the imperial court as examples for discussion,it is reflected that the imperial court is an open music hall.Secondly,during the Ming Dynasty,the Central Plains string rope was a popular singing style in the central Plains region,and it was active in the Ming Dynasty vassal government.Through comparative exploration,this article believes that "string rope" did not originate in the Ming Dynasty,but only developed significantly during this period.Through the analysis of its specific meaning and the analysis of its origins,it can be seen that there is a close connection between the music of the royal palace and the strings of the Central Plains.The purpose of this article is to take various music activities in the Ming Dynasty Zhou Wang Mansion as a whole,summarize the reasons,characteristics,and influence of the flourishing music culture in the Ming Dynasty feudal government,and sort out the connections between various music events in the Zhou Wang Mansion.With the emergence of "shovel king spirit",the living standards of the feudal lords have been downgraded,and the development of music has been restricted,presenting a relatively desolate state of development.Even so,Wang Fu music is still widely sung and popular.The music culture of the Wang Mansion is irreplaceable.Based on the inheritance of the central court music,it continuously innovates and forms its own music cultural characteristics,occupying a supreme position in the development of Ming Dynasty music and having a unique impact on the development of Ming Dynasty music culture.
