Infos

LI KI (The Book of Rites) is a comprehensive text that encompasses social norms, rituals, and ceremonial rites in ancient China. This book is written in a highly structured and poetic style, making it a classic example of early Chinese literature. The content of the book reflects the Confucian emphasis on hierarchy, propriety, and filial piety, serving as a guide for individuals on how to conduct themselves in various social situations. With its detailed descriptions of etiquette and moral behavior, LI KI provides insight into the values and beliefs of ancient Chinese society. Anonymous, the mysterious author of LI KI, likely drew from years of observation and reflection to compile this extensive work on social customs. The author's anonymity adds to the mystique surrounding the text, inviting readers to delve deeper into the cultural significance of the rituals and practices described within its pages. I highly recommend LI KI to readers interested in Chinese history, literature, and philosophy, as it offers a unique perspective on the moral teachings and social structures of ancient China.
