The Li Ki is a comprehensive translation of one of the most important Confucian classics, written by James Legge in the 19th century. The book is a collection of essays, speeches, and conversations that cover a wide range of topics related to Confucian philosophy, including ethics, politics, and social organization. The Li Ki is divided into three parts: the first part contains discussions on the nature of the universe and the principles of human conduct, the second part deals with the organization of society and government, and the third part focuses on the rituals and ceremonies of the Confucian tradition. Legge's translation is considered to be one of the most authoritative and influential translations of the Li Ki, and it is widely regarded as an essential resource for scholars of Confucianism and Chinese culture. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it accessible to anyone interested in learning more about Confucian philosophy and its impact on Chinese society.They informed the officer of prayer in the apartment; they seated the representative of the departed in the hall; they killed the victim in the courtyard. The head of the victim was taken up to the apartment. This was at the regular sacrifice, when the officer of prayer addressed himself to the spirit-tablet of the departed. If it were (merely) the offering of search, the minister of prayer takes his place at the inside of the gate of the temple.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
