Chu Han conflicting, Liu Bang destroyed Chu, but in the early years of Western Han Dynasty, Chu culture was popular, and Chu and Chu dance prevailed in court and folk.

Mrs. Liu Bang, the favorite of Han Gao Zu, loved Chu songs and Chu dance very much.

"Xijing miscellaneous notes" records Liu Bang's favorite wife Qi Qi: "good drum to attack and build..."

It is good to dance with sleeves.

Shiji left Hou family is recorded. When Liu Bang was stopped by Zhang Liang, the son of Zhao Qi, who was the prince of the city, he let Mrs. Qi "dance for me, I am a Chu song".

As seen above, the brow, whiskers, colorful costumes, different scabbard patterns and jade sword with different forms of Han figurines in Xuzhou are different from those of silk, murals, figurines and costumes that have been discovered in the past. They greatly enriched the early costumes of the Han Dynasty, and were also important material materials for understanding the early Western Han Dynasty dance styles.

It is worth mentioning that in the pottery figurine unearthed from the tomb of Chu king in Xuzhou, there were Terracotta Army in the early Chu king and tombs in the tomb. In the middle and later dynasties, most of the tombs of Chu kings were mostly terracotta figurines and dance terracotta figurines. This has its unique historical background.

Liu Bang reduced Han Xin from Chu king to Hou Hou of Huaiyin, and took his brother Liu Jiaofeng as king of Chu. Liu Jiao followed Liu Bang everywhere.

The king of Chu not only has his own official system, but also a powerful army. Terracotta Army is reflecting this historical reality.

In the years of Emperor Han Jing, Wu Chu's "seven nation rebellion" proved that the kingdom was too powerful and threatened the central government.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted the suggestion of "father's mercy". Since then, the Kingdom has become weaker and weaker, and the political space of the king of Chu has been shrinking. It has become a common choice for the dragon and dragon sons who failed to ascend to the throne. It has not only reflected the luxurious song and dance banquet life in the Chu palace of the Western Han Dynasty, but also played a special role in studying the evolution of the political power structure in the Han Dynasty.
