Zhou Li was written from the Warring States Period to the early Western Han Dynasty. It is a Confucian classic, one of the thirteen classics. It was written by Zhou Gongdan, a famous politician, thinker, writer and strategist in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Li, Yi Li and The Book of Rites, collectively called "Three Rites", are the theoretical forms of the ancient rites and music culture in China, which recorded and explained the laws and significance of rites most authoritatively and had the most far-reaching influence on the rites system in past dynasties.
Zhou Li, formerly known as Zhou Guan, was first seen in Historical Records and Amenorrhea. Zhou Li recorded the society, politics, economy, culture, customs and etiquette in the pre-Qin period, with rich historical materials. The content involved is extremely rich and all-encompassing, which is a treasure house in the cultural history of China. The Rites and Music System was a great project completed by Duke Zhou in Luoyang, which had a far-reaching impact on China society, China's ideology and culture and China's history.
