Extended data:
The Book of Rites, also known as The Book of Rites of Little Dai and The Sutra of Little Dai, was written in the Han Dynasty and compiled by Dai Sheng, a ritual and musicologist in the Western Han Dynasty. The Book of Rites mainly records the "rites" of the crown, marriage, mourning and sacrifice in the Zhou Dynasty, which is limited to the style and hardly involves the "rites" behind the rites.
This book mainly describes the pre-Qin ritual system, which embodies the pre-Qin Confucian philosophical thoughts (such as the concept of heaven, world outlook and outlook on life), educational thoughts (such as personal cultivation, educational system, teaching methods and school management), political thoughts (such as educational politics, building a harmonious society, ritual system and criminal law) and aesthetic thoughts (such as the theory of material sense and the theory of harmony between rites and music). It is an important material for studying the pre-Qin society.
