Reseña del libro "Li Chi: Book Of Rites V1 (en Inglés)"
Li Chi: Book of Rites V1 is a comprehensive translation of the ancient Chinese text Li Ji, which is one of the Five Classics of Confucianism. The book is translated by James Legge, a renowned sinologist and missionary who spent much of his life in China during the 19th century. The Li Ji is a collection of texts that describe the social norms, customs, and rituals of ancient China, dating back to the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE). The book is divided into several sections, each describing different aspects of Chinese society, such as government, education, music, and religious practices. This volume, the first of two, covers the first two sections of the Li Ji, which focus on the rules and regulations of the imperial court and the rites and ceremonies of the royal family. The text provides a detailed account of the hierarchy and structure of the court, as well as the various rituals and ceremonies that were performed to maintain order and harmony within the royal family and the wider society. The translation by James Legge is highly regarded for its accuracy and readability, making this book an essential resource for scholars of Chinese history and culture, as well as anyone interested in the ancient traditions and customs of China.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1885 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
