Because there are gods of heaven and earth and ghosts and gods among the deities, the understanding of the article called "Ritual Soul" instead of "Ritual God" has been quite different from the title to the content. Wang Yi's "Chu Zhang Ci Sentence" says: "When worshiping the Nine (Ten) Gods, they all fast first and become respectful. They preach, teach and dispel doubts, and beat drums in a hurry. This is what God means. " Modern Chen Zizhan thinks that "this is like saying that" The Soul of Rite "was written to worship ten gods, and then it was written to entertain the gods, not to worship any god" ("The Songs of the South").
Wang Yuan's Collection of Songs of the South in Ming Dynasty and Qu Zi Guan in Qing Dynasty declared this article as "the nonsense of the first ten articles". Fu Zhi, the king of Qing Dynasty, also said: "This chapter is shared by the first ten sacrifices, and if there is no end, it is a divine comedy." In the Qing Dynasty, Wu Shishang's Shu of Songs of the South, Wang Bangcai's Notes on Nine Songs and his Annotations on Songs of the South also held the same view, and the academic circles generally agreed with this view.
Jiang Liangfu's annotation to Qufu also interprets "ritual" as sacrifice, and "soul" as "the god of Qi, that is, the real name of the gods, so it is close to the nine (ten) gods", and "the nine sacrifices are combined, the witches dance together, and the music ensemble is also in front of the gods' spirits".
