In the Tang dynasty, because of the stability of the politics and the prosperity of the economy, the nationalities in China get along well with each other and the cultural exchanges between China and other countries were more frequent, thus the music and dance of other countries and the minorities along the border of China entered, promoting the development of music and dance in this period. The music and dance of the Tang dynasty not only absorbed the quintessence of the traditional music and dance since Han to Southern Dynasties, but also merge that of minorities and foreign countries, on the basis of which the new music and dance were created. The music and dance in the Tang dynasty superior to that of other dynasties became the landmark in the development of Chinese music and dance in feudal society. In the Tang dynasty, Chinese drama was in its very early stage of the development. We can see something from the pottery figurines playing drama excavated in the tombs of the Tang dynasty.
