Senior Dai's Li Ji
The Classic of Rites (Traditional Chinese: 禮記; Simplified Chinese: 礼记; pinyin: Lǐjì) was one of the Five Classics of the Confucian canon. It described the social forms, ancient rites, and court ceremonies of the Zhou Dynasty. The original text is believed to have been compiled by numerous Confucian scholars during the Warring States Period. During the 1st century BC, the text was extensively reworked by Dai De (Senior Dai) and his nephew Dai Sheng (Junior Dai). The version of Junior Dai, which was composed in forty-nine chapters, is what we regard as the work today, while the version of the Senior Dai are preserved only in fragments. The present version is in Simplified Chinese.
