As one of the "Five Classics", the Book of Rites is not only a must-read classic for Confucian scholars of all generations.

The use of etiquette is that harmony is the most precious thing. Knowing harmony and being harmonious can lead to harmony, whether it is small or large. If it is not done with etiquette, it will not work!
