After a century of Mongol subjugation the Chinese overthrew their conquerors and founded the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). During this period musical drama continued to develop, especially in Gu Su (present-day Suzhou) where Kunqu, a refined form of poetic expression and subtlety of melody reached its zenith. The lead instrument of the Kunqu music ensemble was the Di; in Song of Gu Su the singing style of Kunqu is imitated. Although Kunqu declined during the succeeding Ching dynasty (1644-1912), Jing Xi (referred to today as Peking Opera), which became the leading theatrical form of this period, was never able to break away completely from the traditions established in Kunqu.
