Qing Dynasty palace music from China 承德清音会 (CCTV-4 documentary)
A short documentary about Chengde Qingyin Hui (承德清音会, Chengde Qing Music Society), the revived tradition of palace entertainment music from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), China's last imperial dynasty, which survives to the present day. The musical group featured in the film is the Chengde Mountain Resort Palace Music Society (Bishu Shanzhuang Gongting Yueshe, 避暑山庄宫廷乐社), a large orchestra of traditional instruments, including many that are typical of the Qing Dynasty.
Filmed at the Chengde Mountain Resort (Bishu Shanzhuang, 避暑山庄) in Chengde (承德市), northeastern Hebei province, northern China. Chengde is located 139 miles (224 km) northeast of Beijing and borders Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Beijing, and Tianjin. It is also located near Qinhuangdao and Tangshan on the Bohai Gulf, as well as landlocked Zhangjiakou. This documentary was produced by CCTV-4 and aired c. August 16, 2011.
Built between 1703 and 1792, the resort, a vast complex of palaces and administrative and ceremonial buildings covering a total area of 2.2 square miles (5.6 square km), took 89 years to complete. The Kangxi, Qianlong, and Jiaqing emperors often spent several months of each year here to escape the summer heat in the capital city of Beijing, and the palace zone in the southern part of the resort was therefore designed to resemble the Forbidden City in Beijing. It consists of two parts: a court in front, where the emperor received high officials, nobles of various minority nationalities, and foreign envoys; and bedchambers in the rear, which were the imperial family's living quarters. For all intents and purposes, Chengde served as the Qing empire's second political and cultural center.
When the Qing Dynasty fell in 1912, almost all of the imperial court musicians were dismissed from their positions and many suffered penury upon their return to society. Tang Xifu (唐锡福), a sihu (四胡) player and percussionist who had been one of the principal musicians in the palace orchestra, in 1920 revived the Qing court entertainment music called Qingyin shifan (清音十番), forming the reconstituted Chengde Qing Music Society (承德清音会). This group used handwritten scores in gongche notation (工尺谱) for 23 pieces, which had been collected from musicians who had been in the court orchestra. This ensemble, which used some of the very same musical instruments that had been used in the palace banquet orchestra (yanxiang yuedui, 宴享乐队), performed mainly for the performers' own enjoyment, but also participated in life cycle events of the area's elite residents, whose enthusiasm for this musical tradition had led to its revival. Performing for weddings and funerals in the courtyards of wealthy families that had formerly been associated with the Qing court, these musicians' efforts were at this time usually rewarded by nothing more than a meal. By the late 1930s the society's roster included 32 people, and for some of its activities up to 40 people participated. During the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) the palace scores were lost, but, miraculously, handwritten copies of the scores for 16 pieces were later found to have been retained in the private collections of some elderly performers, and the tradition was again brought back to life in 1982.
Chengde Qingyin Hui was included as one of 130 traditions in the First Batch of the Hebei Province Intangible Cultural Heritage List (河北省第一批省级非物质文化遗产名录), announced on June 6, 2006. On May 18, 2010 Chengde Qingyin Hui was one of 15 traditions from Hebei province included in the List of Recommended Projects for the Third Batch of the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of China (第三批国家级非物质文化遗产名录推荐项目名单), although it was not subsequently selected for inclusion in the third batch of the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of China in 2011.

Qianlong Emperor
The Qianlong Emperor (Chien-lung Emperor; born Hongli (Hung-li; Chinese: 弘曆; Möllendorff transliteration hung li); 25 September 1711 – 7 February 1799) was the sixth emperor of the Manchu-led Qing Dynasty, and the fourth Qing emperor to rule over China proper. The fourth son of the Yongzheng Emperor, he reigned officially from 11 October 1735 to 8 February 1796.1 On 8 February, he abdicated in favor of his son, the Jiaqing Emperor – a filial act in order not to reign longer than his grandfather, the illustrious Kangxi Emperor. Despite his retirement, however, he retained ultimate power until his death in 1799. Although his early years saw the continuation of an era of prosperity in China, his final years saw troubles at home and abroad converge on the Qing Empire.

However, how could ancient Chinese people reserve food with out refrigerator in summer? Ill tell you the answer; They used vessels called 鉴and缶.
鉴as a kind of bucket has three functions. First, People put water in jian, and then used the water surface as a mirror. Second, it can be used as a bathtub. Last, when jian was used with fou, they became an ancient refrigerator. Ancient people use ice blocks cool temperature to reserve the food.
缶was used as musical instrument by Zhang yimou in 2008 Beijing Olympic Games opening ceremony. 2008 performers beat 缶and sung a Confucius poem to welcome the friends from all over the world. Actually, 缶is also a bucket.
