康熙二十二年,康熙帝谕令从内务府管领下选取33名女孩,在掌仪司太监管理下学习乐器。依据《内务府奏销档》等满汉文史料,对选取女孩的标准,女孩的出身、来源,所习乐器种类,培养女孩习乐之目的等问题加以考察,进而探究清廷废止内务府女乐的时间问题。

In 1683, 33 girls were selected by the imperial household servant banner＇s company ordered by Kangxi emperor, to study musical instruments administrated by eunuchs of Zhang Yi Si.
