1. **Court Etiquette**: The emperor would hold a court meeting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony every morning, and the ministers needed to line up according to their ranks and salute the emperor.

2. **Sacrificial rituals**: The Qing Dynasty court attached great importance to sacrificial rituals and held many sacrificial activities every year, such as offering sacrifices to the sky at the Temple of Heaven, offering sacrifices to the earth at the Temple of Di, and offering sacrifices to ancestors at the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

3. **Wedding etiquette**: The wedding etiquette of the Qing Dynasty court was very complicated, including the steps of accepting the bride's proposal, asking for the bride's name, accepting the bride's good fortune, accepting the bride's betrothal gift, asking for the date, and welcoming the bride.

The relationship between Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty can be traced back to the end of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Mongolia was divided into three parts: southern Mongolia, northern Mongolia and western Mongolia. Southern Mongolia had close relations with the Ming Dynasty, while northern Mongolia and western Mongolia kept a certain distance from the Ming Dynasty.

In 1616, Nurhaci established the Later Jin regime and began to conquer the various Mongolian tribes. In 1635, Huang Taiji conquered the southern Mongolia and incorporated it into the territory of the Later Jin. After that, Huang Taiji launched wars against the northern and western Mongolia many times in an attempt to conquer them.

In 1644, the Qing army entered the pass and established the Qing Dynasty. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, it continued to conquer and rule the various Mongolian tribes. In 1691, Emperor Kangxi held a meeting in Duolun Nor and incorporated the Mongolian North into the territory of the Qing Dynasty. After that, Emperor Kangxi launched wars against the Mongolian West many times in an attempt to conquer it.

In 1757, Emperor Qianlong conquered Western Mongolia and incorporated it into the territory of the Qing Dynasty. At this point, all the Mongolian tribes were incorporated into the territory of the Qing Dynasty and became part of the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty implemented the League and Banner system for the Mongolian tribes, dividing them into several banners, each with its own banner master and territory. The banner master was appointed by the Qing emperor and was responsible for managing the affairs within the banner. The implementation of the League and Banner system strengthened the Qing Dynasty's rule over the Mongolian tribes and also promoted the economic and cultural development of the Mongolian tribes.

The Qing Dynasty implemented a ban policy on the Mongolian tribes, prohibiting them from trading and communicating with the mainland. The implementation of the ban policy restricted the economic development of the Mongolian tribes and also led to estrangement and conflicts between the Mongolian tribes and the mainland.
