About This Novel
Etiquette is both an object and a perspective; it is both a scope and a field. In the historical development process of ritual studies, in the writings of ritual scholars, it has presented a variety of academic forms and academic demands of explanation and argumentation. Its connection with various ideological expressions also has different presentations. This can be seen in the case studies and discussions in this book. This book selects some important ritual figures from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Song and Ming dynasties, and examines and discusses them in eight chapters, either collectively or separately.
