The highest form of "harmony song" is song and dance Daqu, which is called "song and dance Daqu" and consists of many songs and dances and episodes such as Yan, Chi and Luan. From the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the folk music of the Han nationality in the south and the north was collectively called Shangqingle or Le Qing, which included folk songs and dance music and was an integral part of Yan Le. There are also court music (ritual music) and advocacy songs that absorb the music created by brothers, such as "The War of the South"; Cross-wind music, such as Song of the Son. The famous Qin music in this period includes Guangling San and Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia.
Folk songs in the Tang Dynasty were called "Quzi", which were found in Dunhuang materials, such as Bodhisattva Man and Sword Ci, and all of them had musical tunes, and later developed into literary epigrams. Many large-scale songs and dances in the Tang Dynasty were called Daqu, which combined instrumental music, vocal music and dance into dozens of segments, such as "Green Waist". The elegant part of Daqu is close to the Qing Yue system of Han nationality, which is called Faqu.
