The "Book of Rites" was recorded by scholars after the Seventies, and it is a series of Confucian words in the Warring States Period, Qin Dynasty, and Han Dynasty, which was compiled and taught by Confucianists Dai De and Dai Sheng in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty.Today there are forty-nine chapters annotated by Zheng Kangcheng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, called "Book of Rites", which is actually "Xiao Dai Ji", and thirty-nine chapters annotated by Lu Bian of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, called "Book of Rites of Da Dai". There are eighty-five chapters in the book of "Da Dai Li Ji", but forty-six of them are lost, and that's all there are left.

The name of the two records was established after the Eastern Han Dynasty. "Hanshu Yiwenzhi Lijia" is recorded according to "Qilue", but it says: ""Ji" one hundred and thirty one." Ban Gu notes: "Recorded by scholars after the Seventies." To "Sui Shu Jingji "Zhi" said: "In the early Han Dynasty, Hejian Xian Wang De Zhongni's disciples recorded 131 chapters. When I went to Liu Xiang's school classics, I found 130 chapters, and I narrated them according to the first chapter. I also got "Mingtang Yinyang"... There are five kinds of them, totaling 214 chapters. Dai De deleted the heavy ones, and combined them into 85 chapters, which are called "Da Dai Li". Dai Sheng also deleted the book of "Da Dai" and made it 46 This article is called "Xiao Dai Ji". There are eighty-five chapters, which are called "Da Dai Li". The holy deleted "Da Dai Li" is forty-nine, which is "Xiao Dai Li". Four chapters are made into two hundred and four chapters, and the forty-nine chapters of "Xiao Dai Ji" are made into forty-six chapters.)

According to "Sui Zhi", there are eighty-five chapters in "Da Dai Li Ji".From the beginning of the thirty-eighth chapter of this book, all the chapters above have been lost, and the rest of the chapters have been lost.

"Summary of Siku" says: "There are too many chapters in "Xia Xiaozheng". The Sui and Tang Dynasties recorded Da Dai's or Que Qi's chapters...the ones that survive should be thirty-nine." "Zhongxing Bibliography" says that there are forty The author added the sixty-seventh article of "Ming Tang" to "Xia Xiaozheng", but in fact this article is in "Shengde Chapter", and later generations re-wrote it again.Those whose titles can be tested include Posthumous Fa Pian, Wang Du Ji, Sanzheng Ji, Alias ​​Ji, Relatives Ji, and Five Emperors Ji (both cited in Bai Hu Tong), and the In Taimiao Rituals (quoted in "Shaolao Food Giving Ceremony"), there is "Wang Ba Ji" (quoted in "Zhou Li Zhu").There is "Qi Mu Pian" (quoted in "Ming Tang Yue Ling Lun"), "Hao Shi Pian" (quoted in "Fun Su Tong"), and "Rui Ming Pian" (quoted in "Lunheng").It reappeared with "Xiaodai", in addition to "Touhu" and "Ai Gongwen", there are also "Qu Li" (quoted in "Hanshu·Wang Wuzhuan"), "Ritual Vessels" (quoted in "Five Classics and Different Meanings") , "Wen Wangshizi" (cited in "Mao Shibin Pu Zhengyi"), "Sacrifice" (cited in "Han Shu Wei Yuancheng Biography" and "Bai Hu Tong Geng Sang Chapter"), Zeng Ziwen (cited in "Bai Hu Tong Geng Sang" Sang Pian", "Xian Zhuan" (quoted from "Bai Hu Tong · Temperament Chapter"), "Tan Gong" (quoted from "Bai Hu Tong · Beng Xi Pian" and "Ming Tang Yue Ling Lun"), "Royal System" (quoted from "Bai Hu Tong·Bengxi Pian), where either the Da Dai is cited explicitly, or only the title of the article is cited, and the citation is not in the current "Xiao Dai", it should be presumed to be the author of "Da Dai".According to this, the title of the lost article can also be one of three. (The Book of Rites is a large series of books circulated by Confucian scholars, and the content is quite complicated. A brief analysis of its important categories is as follows: (A) A special article describing a certain etiquette clause.For example, "The Princes Moved to the Temple", "The Princes' Chaos Temple", "Touhu", "Gongguan" and other chapters, the "Siku Abstract" says that "all are the remains of the "Ancient Classic of Rites".Although there is no other evidence, it should be a fragment of the ritual book before the Spring and Autumn Period.Its nature is slightly like one of the "Kaiyuan Rituals" and "Daqing Tongli".Another example is part of the chapters of "Nei Ze", "Shao Yi", "Qu Li", etc., which also record etiquette provisions, and its nature is slightly like a section of "Wen Gong's Family Rituals". (B) A special article describing a certain government order.Such as "Xia Xiaozheng", "Yueling", etc., its nature is slightly like a part of "Daqing Huidian". (C) A special chapter explaining the Rites.For example, "Guanyi", "Yiyi", "Xiangjiuyi", "Sheyi", "Yanyi", "Employment", "Four Systems of Mourning Clothes", etc., are the biography and annotations of the seventeen chapters of "Yili". (D) Specially remember the remarks of Confucius.For example, "Biaoji", "Ziyi", "Zhongni Yanju", "Confucius' Idle Residence", etc., its nature is slightly similar.Another example is the seven chapters of "Ai Gong Wen" and "Confucius Three Dynasties" - "Thousand Vehicles", "Four Dynasties", "Yu Daide", "Gaozhi", "Xiaobian", "Using Soldiers" and "Shaojian" - all pre-Qin Confucianism One of the biography of Confucius.His special record of the seventy sons' speeches, such as "Zeng Zi Wen", "Zi Zhang Wen Entering the Official", "General Wei Wen Zi" and other articles, are also attached to this category. (E) Record Confucianism and people's chores in a timely manner.For example, a part of "Tan Gong" and "Miscellaneous Things", its nature is slightly like "Han Feizi"'s "Neiwai Chushuo". (f) Miscellaneous records of the system.Such as "Wangzhi", "Yuzao", "Mingtangwei" and so on. (G) Special textual research and miscellaneous textual research on institutional etiquette.Such as "Ritual Vessels", "Special Sacrifice in the Suburbs", "Sacrifice Law", "Jietong", "Big Biography", "Mourning Clothes", "Inquiry about Mourning", "Internal Biography" and so on. (Xin) General discussion on etiquette or academics.Such as "Li Yun", "Li Sacrifice", "Jing Jie", "Three Books of Rites", "Jie Yi", "Three Years of Questions", "Le Ji", "Xue Ji", "University", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Encouraging Learning", "Ben Ming", "Yi Yi" Ben Ming" and so on. (兰) miscellaneous notes motto.Such as "Quli", "Shaoyi", "Encouraging Learning", "Confucian Practice" and so on. (Gui) A special record of a certain anecdote.Such as "Five Emperors' Virtue", "Emperor Lineage", "Wen Wangshizi", "Wu Wang Jianyan" and so on. This large series of books, of course, was not made by one person. "Han Zhi" says: "Recorded by scholars after the Seventy." Scholars after the Seventy can range up to Dade, Dai Sheng, and Liu Xiangye.Among them are those recorded from official books, such as "Princes Moved to the Temple", "Qiao Temple" and other chapters. Although they may not be the remains of the "Ancient Classic of Rites", they should be the records of a certain official.For example, the article "Wen Wang Guanren" is slightly similar to the article "Yi Zhou Shu".For example, "Yueling" and "Lu Lan" and "Huainan" have the same text, so the three books must be based on one ancient book.Some are recorded from the books of various scholars, for example, the ten chapters from "Li Shi" to "Tian Yuan" in "Da Dai" are all titled "Zeng Zi", or the "Eighteen Chapters of "Zeng Zi"" in "Han Zhi" One also. According to Shen Yue, "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Fangji", "Biaoji" and "Ziyi" are all taken from "Zi Si Zi", or one of the "23 chapters of "Zi Si" in "Han Zhi". "Historical Records of Justice" stated that "Le Ji" was written by Gongsun Nizi, and Liu
