Product Description

This book places Li Ji (the Book of Rites) back in the overall context of books, rites and its research history, drawing on the interrelations between myth, ritual and materialized symbols to do so. Further, it employs the double perspectives of books and rites to explore the sources and symbols of the capping ceremony (rites of passage), decode the prototypes of Miao and Ming Tang, and restore the discourse patterns of people of five directions. The book subsequently investigates the formation and function of the Yue Ling calendar and disaster ritual, so as to reveal the human cognitive encoding and metalanguage of ritual behavior involved. In the process, it demonstrates that Li Ji, its textual memories, archaeological remains and traditional ceremony narratives are all subject to the latent myth coding mechanism in Chinas cultural system, while the compilation and materialized remains are merely forms of ritual refactoring, interpretation and exhibition, used whenauthority seeks the aid of ritual civilization to strengthen its legitimacy and maintain the social order.
