It demonstrates that Li Ji, its textual memories, archaeological remains, and \"traditional ceremony\" narratives are all subject to the latent myth coding mechanism in China's cultural system, while the \"compilation\" and \"materialized\" remains are forms of ritual refactoring, interpretation, and exhibition. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 346 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 July 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer Verlag, Singapore\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book delves into the intricate relationship between myth, ritual, and materialized symbols, placing Li Ji, the Book of Rites, within the broader context of books, rites, and their research history. By employing a dual perspective of \"books\" and \"rites,\" it explores the origins and symbols of the capping ceremony (rites of passage), deciphers the prototypes of Miao and Ming Tang dynasties, and restores the discourse patterns of \"people of five directions.\" Furthermore, it investigates the formation and function of the Yue Ling calendar and disaster ritual, unveiling the human cognitive encoding and metalanguage of ritual behavior. Through this comprehensive examination, the book demonstrates that Li Ji, its textual memories, archaeological remains, and \"traditional ceremony\" narratives are all subject to the latent myth coding mechanism within China's cultural system. On the other hand, the \"compilation\" and \"materialized\" remains serve as forms of ritual refactoring, interpretation, and exhibition, employed by authority to strengthen its legitimacy and maintain social order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book delves into the intricate relationship between myth, ritual, and materialized symbols, placing Li Ji, the Book of Rites, within the broader context of books, rites, and their research history.
