app bet365 download is a representative figure of Neo-Confucianism,Also a representative of etiquette。One of his important contributions to etiquette,It creatively revitalized the tradition of compiling Tongli。

Medieval Period,With the development of classics learning and system construction,A new style of ritual book was created that tried to integrate the two。The reason why new ritual book genres appear,On the one hand, it is in response to the historical reality after the Han Dynasty,On the other hand, it has a profound background in etiquette。The original code of three rites preserves the ancient institutional text,Contains the original essence of Chinese civilization,Embodied Confucian ideals since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty,Since the date of its writing,It shows the transcendent aspect app bet365 download real world。Since the contents app bet365 download Three Rites mostly reflect the deeds app bet365 download Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties or earlier,It is difficult to completely match the emerging social culture three generations later。At the same time,The writing form app bet365 download Three Rites documents also has the characteristics of early China,There is a certain gap between the needs of later dynasty regimes and the reading taste app bet365 download intellectual class。"Rituals" says: "Etiquette,Time is great。" "Le Ji" says: "The Five Emperors are at special times,Not always happy。Three Kings in Different Worlds,No attack ceremony。”Therefore,In the process of dynasty governance in later generations,The motivation to create new gifts continues to emerge。

However,Three generations of rituals and music are by no means traces that can be easily discarded。The old ways of cultural traditions reveal the limits of historical evolution,The Three Rites Book contains the essence of governance from ancient sages,There are many things worth learning from future generations。In order to strengthen control over the current society,Better achieve governance goals,Dynasties in the past were often based on social reality,Strive to inherit、Carry forward the tradition of rituals and music。At the same time,Not constrained by the original text app bet365 download Three Rites,There is another solution、A lot of profit and loss,Create a ritual and music system and culture suitable for this dynasty,And actively promote the re-editing of ritual books。

This type of ritual books are the codes of real politics of a specific dynasty,Nowadays it is usually regarded as a history book,Thought its nature is different from the scriptures。Actually,Political Code、Book of Rites,The intention is to manage the world,The spiritual core app bet365 download two is the same,The people app bet365 download Tang Dynasty regarded the newly compiled ritual books as the classics of their dynasty。Especially those outside the compilation of this dynasty’s rites,I also intend to connect the past and the present、A ritual book that continues the original three rites,It also has the dual characteristics of classics and history,It can be said that it is the forerunner app bet365 download Tongli works compiled by later ritual scholars。

Before Song Dynasty,Books similar to the Tongli genre are often regulations and systems compiled by successive dynasties in order to build contemporary rituals and music,has its own distinct realistic orientation。relatively speaking,Less use app bet365 download Three Rites documents themselves as a whole。Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty once wrote "Lei Li",Committed to re-editing the "Book of Rites"。However,In view of Wei Zheng’s special status,This matter may have an official background。In the Song Dynasty,The contents app bet365 download ritual books formed by official rituals and music are still based on court rules and regulations or daily files、Document information mainly,Recalling the original texts of rituals is not the focus app bet365 download official book of rituals。And among the people,People in the Song Dynasty suffered from wars since the late Tang and Five Dynasties、National affairs are in turmoil、Taoist disorder、The stimulation of real dilemmas such as the collapse of human relations,Worried,Return to Confucianism,Revisit etiquette and justice,Seeking ways to govern the world from the civilizational traditions represented by the sages and teachers,Attempt to use classics to face the gradually changing social structure,Solve the current problems。It’s just that most knowledgeable people focus on dealing with reality,They are producing practical ritual books that can be practiced by the people,Not to mention the pursuit app bet365 download origin of etiquette。This conforms to the trend of "treating common people with courtesy" since the mid-Tang Dynasty,It also started an important trend of etiquette after the Song Dynasty。Zhu Xi also participated in it in his early years,Written the first draft of "Family Rites",Widely influential in civil society from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China,The related academic trend was named "Family Rites"。

Throughout app bet365 download’s academic career,He obviously didn’t stop there。

After his thoughts matured, Zhu Xi established a vast and subtle philosophical system,His remarks、Articles and conduct are all manifestations of his philosophical system。This system is not only full of speculation,More integrated with practice。Ge Zhicheng is revising Qi Zhiping’s advanced arrangements,Opened up the academic link between self-care, qi, xinxing and even political affairs,So that even when you are studying hard, you can have the guidance of your superior work。He is opposed to paying attention to trivial systems piecemeal and deviating from the original purpose,I also know the subtleties and precision in ancient rituals、The number of degrees is the end,Everyone has their own reasons。It must be your own time,Begin to appreciate the meaning app bet365 download ancients,Know the great source。

For that matter,Whether it is writing an imperial ceremony system for the emperor and his ministers,Still compiling practical etiquette for private individuals,They are just branches and leaves of etiquette,rather than fundamental;Just a temporary and popular trip,Not a grand plan for the ages。In Zhu Xi’s vision,“A big man must come out,Dismantle and wash everything”,The situation of ruined app bet365 download and music can be reversed,Only then will the true spirit of ritual and music reappear。This "big man",One should understand the principles of heaven,Adept at etiquette and music,The lost ancient app bet365 download can be intricately realized,Be able to use classic resources freely。Zhu Xi did not specify who this "big man" was,However,He is willing to make preparations for this personally,This is his compilation work of Tongli that inherited the ancient tradition of classics and history。

Zhu Xi believes that the origin of ritual and music is hidden in the texts of scriptures including the three rites,The ritual books of later generations are just the branches and descendants of these classics。But the ancient ritual books are too profound and difficult to read,Extremely far away from current life,Desire is used now,Needs to be reedited,To gain understanding。He has long-cherished the desire to practice etiquette,I once placed my hope in the temple,Want to use the power app bet365 download imperial court to compile ritual books,"Rise and fall,Put it down forever”。Everything is unpredictable,In the harsh atmosphere of party strife in the Southern Song Dynasty,He was expelled after only being in power for more than forty days。Once upon a time,The "Qingyuan Party Ban" followed,The situation takes a turn for the worse,Made him have no ambition,But unable to put it into practice。Facing the chaotic political situation around us,Zhu Xi in his twilight years remained unmoved,Resolutely gathered his disciples and colleagues to take on the important task of compiling the book of rites。This group of scholars withstood the pressure,Division of labor and cooperation,Before Zhu Xi's death, he finally completed the outline planning and partial draft app bet365 download book "The Complete Interpretation app bet365 download Classic of Rites"。

Why have we reached our twilight years,Zhu Xi wanted to work hard to compile the "Comprehensive Interpretation app bet365 download Classic of Rites and Rites"?One app bet365 download main reasons is,He realized that daily life cannot ignore the tradition established by the original scriptures app bet365 download Chinese ancestors。Just like a river cannot overflow its channel,Human beings cannot get rid of culture、Abandoned Civilization,The practice and design planning of rites and music in later generations cannot completely alienate the framework and hidden meanings established by ancient rites。Zhu Xi himself understood that ancient rituals and current affairs cannot be separated into two parts,Let others know this,You need a carrier。For this,Zhu Xi will be in the last stage of his life,Compile a truly comprehensive book of rites,Implement his knowledge into the current world,Leave it to the wise in future generations。

Before Zhu Xi,It’s not that you haven’t understood the three rites、An attempt to compile ritual books。As early as the Western Han Dynasty when the book was being revised,Liu Xiangbian made a preliminary review app bet365 download biography of Zhongmi Li Jing,Roughly divide the general theory、System、Sacrifice、Auspicious events, etc.。Zheng Xuan's "Catalogue of Three Rites" in the late Han Dynasty shows a strong awareness of applying the five rituals system derived from "The Rites of Zhou" to define the book of rites,The book app bet365 download Five Rites in the Middle Ages represents the development of this theory at the national canonical level。Since Tang and Song Dynasties,Most scholars among the intellectual class are influenced by the trend of imperial examinations,My interest in etiquette is getting weaker and weaker,Those who are interested in reorganizing the ritual book,《Book of Rites》,Plan to win the crown、Funeral Offering、Yanxiang、Meeting contents and daily rituals,Excerpted into a compilation。Li Gou advocated dividing etiquette into food and drink、Clothes、Palace、Utensil、Couple、Father and son、Old and young、Monarch and minister、上下、Mentor、Guest、Death and mourning、Thirteen sacrifices,Added "乐、Political、punishment" and "benevolence、righteousness、Zhi、Those who believe in "seven",Think it’s all part of etiquette。Hu Yinwei opposes new learning,Also exclude "Zhou Rites",Even texts such as "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine app bet365 download Mean" that recognize the importance of ethics are not included in the ritual books。And,These designs only remain in the fantasy stage,Far from being formed between paper and ink,Not to mention putting it into practice。

Zhu Xi is not like that。He respects the classics passed down by sages,Oppose "fabrication" and "conjecture"。At the same time,He also understands that ancient rituals are scattered and lost,No longer suitable for today,Need to establish a separate scale,Therefore, it is advocated that the original scripture must be transformed。He broke up and reorganized the three rites and other classic chapters and sentences,Rethink based on your own understanding,Follow like like,Arrangement and positioning,Additional addition。He thinks,Only in this way can the meaning app bet365 download text be clear、Order in order,Matches the "Saint's Legacy" in his mind,Just like he updated the scriptures of "Greater Learning"。He wants to use a new framework structure to shape a new system of ancient rituals,Including the country and even the people,Shows the grand vision of Song Confucianism to return to the rule app bet365 download Three Dynasties。The framework structure app bet365 download ritual book he determined is consistent,My own gift、Country Ceremony、Learning rituals progressively,The national gift of reaching a state、Dynasty and funeral rites,Covers human birth, old age, illness and death、Various aspects of social civilization,To outline the "appearance" app bet365 download rituals and music app bet365 download three generations。This arrangement is very different from the juxtaposition app bet365 download five rites in the medieval dynasty ritual books。He thinks,Only in this way can we truly understand the program of sages’ governance,Make the ancients’ ideas into consideration with our own skills,Let others have a good starting point。As the compilation work progresses,Zhu Xi increasingly realized that principles should not be suspended above actual life,The preface and past practices app bet365 download ancients in making rituals and music are also very valuable,A reference and reference for considering the laws of heaven。He confessed,The Gezhi Program of "The Great Learning" "is just a title,If you want to engage in reality,Must be more knowledgeable about classics and history,Shenji Incident,So that there is no doubt in my mind,Only when you have reached the point of knowing and stopping will you have a certain status”,To study ancient rituals, we must also thoroughly study the rituals and rituals recorded in the classics and history,Just now it can be considered as "tong"。He then wanted to consider the benefits and losses app bet365 download ritual and music systems app bet365 download past dynasties and the theories of Confucianism,Choose the essentials,All attached to the book,Integrate rituals and etiquette into one,The combination of principles and practice。Unfortunately, God did not give him enough time,On the eve of death,Zhu Xi devoted all his efforts,I have tried my best to implement a number of "remove and clean up" ideas on paper,And entrusted his disciples to complete the unfinished parts。So and so,"The Comprehensive Interpretation app bet365 download Book of Rites" is revealed and the original book of Rites、The different styles of commentaries and miscellaneous ritual books,Three Rites、The top and bottom and even the past and present are connected in the book,For scholars to study。As for the actual reconstruction of social etiquette and music,Only left to future generations。

Zhu Xi has no intention of taking credit,He upholds the belief of "not eating the fruits",Hope to come and succeed,Be able to pass on the characteristics of Chinese rituals and music。His compilation of "The Comprehensive Interpretation app bet365 download Rituals Sutra",Creating a new perspective outside the annotation system,Integrate the study app bet365 download five rituals and regulations with the study app bet365 download three rituals,The formation of a new style of ritual books。Inspired by Zhu Xi’s thought and spirit,Many Tongli writings appeared in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties,Such as Wu Cheng's "Book of Rites Compilation"、Wang Kekuan’s "The Classics of Rites and Prosperity"、Huang Guang's "Etiquette and Music"、Jiang Yong's "Compendium of Rites" and Qin Huitian's "Tongkao of Five Rites", etc.。The size of these subsequent works ranges from large to small,Editorial consciousness varies,Specific achievements naturally vary,But they all inherited the core concepts and basic methods of "Ritual Sutra Chuan Tong Jie",Try to use words that are easy for scholars to understand at that time、Rearrange and revise ancient ritual documents in an accepted way,Preserve the fire to transform the three generations of rituals and music into the new rituals and music app bet365 download future。Zhu Xi creatively transformed the ritual tradition,Opened a new situation in Tongli's writings。For that matter,If the basic paradigm of Tongli is established in Zhu Xi’s "The Rite Classics Chuan Tongjie",That is no exaggeration。
