Content introduction:
Zhou Li is a Confucian work, which was written at the end of the Warring States Period. From the analysis of its ideological content, it shows that Confucianism developed to the late Warring States period, integrating Taoism, Buddhism and Yin and Yang, which changed greatly from Confucius' thought in the Spring and Autumn Period. If future generations don't abide by it, they will be falsely labeled as a book of "blasphemy and indiscretion" and "six-nation conspiracy".
The Book of Rites of Zhou records the idea of establishing an official after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so its overall expression is not a true historical record of a certain era. However, as far as one official, one post, one thing and one thing in the book are concerned, it can be verified in ancient books in pre-Qin period and archaeological unearthed cultural relics. For example, Quan * * has 356 officials, and 100 officials are the same as the full text of Two Weeks. It can be seen that the author of Zhou Li collected a large number of historical records and the reality at that time, and it was not a complete fiction. Contemporary etiquette scholars are convinced that all the contents in Zhou Li are historical facts and praise them as the achievements of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Recently, scholars can also be skeptical and think that all this is false and unbelievable. All these biases and doubts are not realistic academic attitudes. When studying Zhou Li today, we must compare the ancient group records with the unearthed materials, confirm each other, distinguish the true from the false, and analyze the development process of various systems, so as to draw a credible conclusion.
Zhou Li is extremely rich in content. The world is as big as Kyushu and has an astronomical calendar; As small as ditches, roads, plants, insects and fish. The country's organizational system includes politics, law, culture and education, rites and music, military punishment, taxation, food and clothing, sleeping temples, chariots and horses, agricultural and commercial medicine, crafts, various famous things, laws and regulations, and systems. If it can be studied and sorted out, it can be called a treasure house of ancient cultural history.
