Introduction to Dai Dai's explanation

According to legend, The Book of Great Daili was selected by Dade, a famous etiquette scholar in the Western Han Dynasty. The original eighty-five articles were annotated in the Selected Works of the West, and the book of Xiao Li was widely circulated and was included in the Classic in the Tang Dynasty. However, The Book of Great Dai Li was gradually ignored, and only thirty-nine articles were lost in the Tang Dynasty.

Today, the debate between Northern Zhou and Lu was the earliest. By the Tang Dynasty, many essays had been lost, and the survivors could not read them by mistake. Since then, there have been no experts "(from Syria).

Scholars in Qing Dynasty made great efforts to collate this book. Wang studied Da Dai Li for more than 30 years, and finally wrote it in the 11th and 2nd year of Jiaqing (1806, 1807). Its arrangement is a book, but according to the same old book, it will not be added, deleted or changed; If it is obvious corruption, pay attention to the fact that Yunmou is one; Or there are differences between ancient and modern languages, and the meaning of phonology can be understood, then note that Yunmou reads "(from Xu). If there is any difference, the "note it with the text" maintains the original appearance of the three books, but it also maintains the integrity of the text. It annotates the text, either one word at a time or one sentence at a time. Explaining words, specifically speaking, is to explain the meaning according to Er Ya, Shuo Wen and the exegesis of Han Dynasty. Those who are familiar with the ancient law are no longer marked; If you are slightly involved in the hidden Olympics, you must recite the original; Also cited more classics to prove its meaning. Sometimes if you don't know, you'll never make it up. If the old saying is acceptable, add' Lu' to show the difference. As for the distinction between ceremony and ceremony, the number of instruments is detailed. One is based on the introduction of former teacher Kang Cheng (Zheng Xuan), because courtesy is based on Zheng's special study "(Syria). Wang's admonition can enlighten people and eliminate reading obstacles. For example, in the fourth volume, "Standing": "Those who come unprepared, those who leave carelessly", Lu advocates "being cautious, those who are near do not hesitate, and those who leave carelessly". Reading Lu Zhu doesn't know what to say. According to the interpretation of Erya, Wang interprets Yu as "music"; According to the interpretation of Dialect and Guang Yun, Wang interpreted "caution" as "worry". Another example is the sentence in Volume 4, "If my brother's trip is not correct, he will raise it". Lu said, "Raising is still hidden", but the meaning is still unclear. Wang's interpretation is: "Raising reading, worrying about' central support'." He also quoted the word "support" in the poem "Two sons and a boat", and its meaning suddenly became clear. However, the book does have a solution that respects the old adage but loses its original intention. Wang Shi's explanation mainly focuses on textual exegesis. Although it has some defects, it is still a special work among all the works in Qing Dynasty and Da Dai Li, which matches Kong Guangsen's Supplement to Da Dai Li Li Ji and has special reference value for those who study Da Dai Li. In the first year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (185 1), in the thirteenth year of Guangxu (1887), Guangya Bookstore Series was engraved. 1983, Zhonghua Book Company published Wang Wenjin's Collated Edition, which was one of the annotations of the Thirteen Classics in Qing Dynasty.
