The period from 1 1 BC to 77 1 BC is the Western Zhou Dynasty in the history of China. In the early Zhou Dynasty, in order to strengthen their rule, the rulers implemented the policy of "sealing Wang Jian with the same surname", enfeoffed the royal nobles of the Zhou Dynasty to various places, and established the vassal state of the Western Zhou Dynasty. After Zhou Wuwang's death, the young king succeeded to the throne, and King Wu's younger brother Ji Dan became the Duke of Zhou. Zhou Gongdan is a loyal minister with both ability and political integrity. Cao Cao once praised his faithfulness by saying "The Duke of Zhou vomited food, and the world turned to his heart" in Short Songs. Duke Zhou's "Rites and Music System" summarized, inherited and improved it on the basis of "establishing the country by dividing the countries", thus systematically establishing a complete set of "Rites and Music System".

The system of rites and music is an ideological system in which music is subordinate to ceremonies. Ceremony is used to distinguish the hierarchical order of patriarchal clan system, while music is used to distinguish the hierarchical order of ceremony, and the two complement each other. Within the ruling class, the level set is embodied in "eight emperors, six kings and four kings". In the ancient dance team, there were eight people in a line, which was called Yishu. According to Zhou Li, the Tiandi Dance Team consists of eight people (that is, sixty-four people), six people, four kings and two people. In this way, different classes and different numbers of dancers are used to instill in people the idea of hierarchical order, that is, no one can compete with the supremacy of the monarch.

Da Le Si is the main music organization in the Zhou Dynasty, and also the earliest and largest music education and performance organization in the world. Its training targets are the eldest sons of kings and princes, the children of ministers and doctors, and outstanding young people selected from the people. Mainly teach students to learn six generations of music and dance and small dance. The purpose of educating aristocratic children to learn music is not to let them really perform, but to let them know that "rites and music" is an effective way to govern the country.
