The Book of Rites, also known as Dai Xiao Collection, was edited by Dai Sheng, a scholar of the Western Han Dynasty. This book is an anthology of 49 Confucian etiquette works between Qin and Han Dynasties. Since Zheng Xuan, a scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, annotated the Book of Rites, this book, which was originally intended to interpret the classics and articles for the Book of Rites, has gradually become a classic, and scholars of rites in past dynasties have been particularly fond of this book, but the Book of Rites has declined.
San.z (1753- 1843) was born in Baoying, Jiangsu. He has read hundreds of books on history, all of which are consistent, but he is particularly diligent in studying Confucian classics and righteousness. The Book of Rites, written in his later years, absorbed the ideological essence of Liu Taigong, Wang and his son, and was one of the great summaries of the rule of etiquette in the Qing Dynasty.
The Commentary on the Book of Rites is a classic work to interpret the Book of Rites, and the whole book is deeply studied. On the basis of inheriting Zheng's Notes on Confucius, it absorbs many research results extensively, takes its essence and adopts ancient and modern theories, such as meat. According to the commentary, it is not made by predecessors, but loves the ancient, and it is classified. What is particularly rare in the Book of Rites is that the annotation, omission and simplification of the past dynasties are very simple without losing its original purpose. Of course, mutual reading with Sun Xidan's Notes on the Book of Rites is particularly exciting.
This book is based on the version of Yilutang in the first year of Xianfeng, and is collated according to four series versions of The Book of Rites, Notes to Thirteen Classics, Notes to the Book of Rites and The Book of Rites. The historical records quoted by the Zhu family are generally a re-examination of the original works. Therefore, it is the best version of The Book of Rites.
