The Ning Dynasty's Imperial Music Bureau is divided into the North and the South.
The Northern Imperial Music Bureau is in the Imperial Capital, while the Southern Imperial Music Bureau is in Jinling. The Northern Imperial Music Bureau retains a Danbi Grand Music Hall, nurturing some actors to perform plays and music, maintaining some dignity; the Southern Imperial Music Bureau, however, has thoroughly degenerated into an official brothel.
The Northern Imperial Music Bureau is further divided into the North Courtyard and the South Courtyard. The North Courtyard is the Danbi Grand Music Hall, a place for rituals and music; the South Courtyard is a suite of brocade corridors, a place for romance and leisure.
Chen Ji walked alone into the North Courtyard, and the clerk at the entrance of the Imperial Music Bureau politely asked, "May I ask this lord's official position?"
Chen Ji casually answered, "Hundred Households of the Yulin Army."
