The ritual map is one of the branches of the three rituals ("Yi Li", "Zhou Li" and "The Book of Rites"), which is complementary to the text of the text. Those who cannot be painted in the picture are not unsatisfactory. This ancient man is not abolished. "The ritual map is a new sparse of the ceremony and has the characteristics of" image ". Ran Ran Bing. At present, etiquette research is increasingly valued. Li Tu is the key to interpreting etiquette, and the research on ritual maps shows a huge tension. The experience of governance, moral norms and etiquette presented by ritual literature, increasingly highlighting its contemporary value.

Important reference for governing the country in all ages

"Zuo Zhuan · Yin Gong eleventh year" cloud: Li, through the country, the state, the order of the people, the person who is the one. "Xunzi · Da Liang" cloud: ritual, politics. It is not polite to politics, and politics does not work. The scholar Ruan Yuan of the Qing Dynasty even stated in the "Book of the Division of the Emperor Chen Chen" in the "Sanshi Sequel of the Classics". Politicians of all ages attached great importance to governing the country by etiquette, and ritual governance became one of the governance of the country. If you want to rule the country with etiquette, you must make a bright etiquette. The content of the etiquette system is complicated and difficult to make it clear. If you want to make a courtesy system, you need to participate in the ritual map. Essence

China has been the state of etiquette since ancient times. What is etiquette? "Xunzi · Li Lun": "Where is the ritual? Said: Life is desired, but desire, but not to be demanded; The ritual is also raised. "You Yun:" Li, the heavens, the place of the matter, the ancestor of the ancestors, the three books of the ritual. "In the traditional Chinese society, the ceremony is a "The way of heaven, to rule people's feelings" often exists. Li is not only related to personal peace, but also about the general events of governing the country. The content of the ritual is presented in the graph, and the ritual map is the mystery of the "Ritual Six Classics" as a special symbol. Nie Chongyi's "Three Rites" states that "Ritual Picture" can do everything.

There are rituals of governing the country in all ages. From the Han to the Qing Dynasty, the work of the ritual map is in the same vein, both cause and innovation. The ritual literature shows the wisdom of the Governance of Guxianjun governing the country, and establishes the paradigm of "ritual governance countries" with the rules of ritual norms. "Unified order"; use the ideological words and deeds of the ritual, ritual, and etiquette to directly conclude the king's ideological and deeds, shape the spiritual world of the nation, and then form a long -lasting "ritual rule". The "governing the country with etiquette" and "regulating the ritual system of rituals" in the ritual map have become the value specifications of scholars of all ages.

The ritual map interprets the classics to explain the reality, and the integration of the original classics and notes provides a strong promotion for social harmony, cultural identity inheritance, social development and the times. Although the rituals are presented by the etiquette and etiquette of different eras, the "ritual politics" that transcends the times is an important reference for governing the country in various periods.

Figure iconic moral norms, academic resources of promoting traditional culture

Li is the basis of the Six Classics. Literature literature, the pre -Qin Dynasty is the earliest classic picture of China and the world. The ritual chart is carried by text to chart the way. For example, the "University of Rites" proposes "the way of the university is clearing, in the people, and in the best". Those who want to cure their nations first will work together; those who want to work with their families and cultivate their body first; those who want to cultivate their body first; those who want to correct their hearts, first sincerity; those who want to be sincere, Knowing it first; With the norms of morality, reveal the essential characteristics of self -cultivation, and provide traditional nourishment for the cultivation of the people of contemporary society and setting up the industry.

The "Rites" of "Book of Rites" "Choose Xian and Power" and choose Xian Na Xian is an important criterion for selecting talents in ancient times. It is still applicable at present. And "Talking about faith, so people do not relax and relatives, do not have their own children, make the elderly end, strong and useful, young and young, and those who are lonely and abandoned." "Mu" emphasizes that people are in good faith and harmony between people; There are directors, those who are lonely and lonely abandoned, they all have a harmonious scene. "Men have points, women return. Instead, evil is abandoned in the ground, and it is not necessary to hide it; forces, evil is not out of the body, not for themselves. It is why, closure and unwillingness, theft and thief If you do n’t do it, the foreign households do not close, it is called Datong. "It has already described the beautiful social development scenarios for us.

The content of the ritual map is all -encompassing, involving many fields. The academic people of all ages have the etiquette interpretation, ritual notes, etiquette theory, and ritual theory formed by contemporary academics. Research on the fields of utensils is closely related. Li Tu literature provides important academic resources for inheritance and promoting traditional culture.

The practical significance of the ritual literature

"Rites, performances", the connotation of rituals focuses on practicing. Many rituals involved in "Ritual", such as the "three plus" of "Shi Crown", "Nazeta", "NATO", "Regular", "Celebrating", and other rituals. "Ritual Map", Wu Jishi's "Ceremony Conference", Zhang Huiyan's "Ritual Map", and Yang Kuizhi's "Yi Li Tu" are all specific icons. Based on this, Li Tu can be described as "basic textbooks for politics, society, and life education." "Zhou Li Tu" and "Yi Li Tu" were deleted by Sima Guang, Zhu Xi, etc., and interpreted with the times of the time. The trials of crowns, marriage, funerals, and sacrifice of Confucian humanistic spirit were selected. These attempts are reflected in the books of the two "Books" and "Family Li". Such at home etiquette specifications have been widely promoted in the doctors. To this day, such specifications are still the guy of family style, village style, and social style. The essence of the scriptures is to teach people to act. The "Li Zhi" model, the "self -cultivation" specification, and the "practice" paradigm in the ritual map contain rich content, which provides deep nourishment for promoting outstanding traditional culture.

The influence of Ritual Literature has been continuously stretched from ancient times, and surrounded by neighboring countries, such as Japan, South Korea, North Korea, etc. At present, the Chinese nationality and specific etiquette of Japanese countries such as Japan still have the deep imprint of Chinese etiquette literature and Chinese culture, which reflects the integration and unity of cultural exchanges between Chinese and foreign. It has important practical significance to comprehensively organize and study the literature of ritual maps, especially for the sorting of Chinese nationality outside the domain. As Professor Qian Zongwu said, "more clarifying the form and evolution of the existence of Han culture in exotic culture, discovering out the exploration The common factors and heterogeneous elements of the two sides of the two sides integrate the static classic text interpretation with the dynamic contemporary academic research. Through Chinese and foreign cultural dialogue, activate the historical memory of the other party and enhance the cultural self -confidence of the dialogue. "

As an important carrier to carry the Six Classics, the ritual map provides an indispensable literature basis and ideological basis for promoting the outstanding traditional culture of China. The research on ritual and ritual studies is widely developed. It is an important foundation for deeply recognizing the long -term and long -term traditional culture. It is the prerequisite for the "ancient and present" of the excellent traditional culture of China.
