From Witchcraft to Ritual, from Ritual to Benevolence

"From Witchcraft to Etiquette, Explaining Etiquette and Guiding Benevolence" is one of the representative works of Mr. Li Zehou, a famous philosopher and esthetician in my country. Li Zehou believes that the transition from witchcraft to ritual and benevolence is the key to Chinese culture. The book is divided into five parts: "Preface", "The Tradition of the History of Shamanism (1999)", "The Supplement to the Tradition of the History of Shamanism (2005)", "From Shamanism to Rites (2001, 2014)", "Explanation of Rites and Guiren (2014)" and the appendix. Four parts: "The Source Symbols of Chinese Culture (2005)", "The Summary of the First Reading of the "Bamboo Slips from the Chu Tombs of Guodian" (1998)", "The Preliminary Drafting of the Deep Structure Theory of Confucianism", and "A Draft Comparison of Chinese and Japanese Cultural Psychology (1997)". The narration in this book is easy to understand and self-contained, conveying this characteristic of Chinese culture.
