In ancient China, there was a saying that the Emperor had eight gongs, the vassal had seven gongs and six gongs, and the Qing Dynasty had five gongs and four gongs. After Shang Dynasty, the number of bronzes increased. In ancient times, it was stipulated that the emperor of heaven had eight gongs, the vassal had seven gongs and six gongs, and the dance doctor had five gongs and four gongs.
