After a long time, Manchu and Han officials began to follow suit and began to entertain each other. Manchu officials hosted Chinese banquets when entertaining Han Chinese, while Han Chinese officials hosted Manchu banquets when entertaining Manchu people. Although the banquet cost a lot of money, it was conducive to the unity of Manchu and Han and to world peace, so it was also supported by the court. Even a high-standard Manchu-Chinese banquet appeared in the court, which gradually represented the essence of Manchu-Chinese banquet in the Qing Dynasty.

On that day, all ministers and the whole world will celebrate this festival. There is also a saying that more than 65,438+000 long-lived elderly people are invited to attend the Manchu-Chinese banquet, so it is called the Wanshou Banquet.
