The Li Ki is a classic Chinese text that was translated into English by James Legge. It is a collection of writings that cover a wide range of topics, including ethics, politics, and spiritual practices. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on the principles of government and the second part dealing with the rituals and ceremonies of ancient China. The third part of the book is dedicated to the study of music, which was an important part of Chinese culture. Throughout the book, Legge provides detailed explanations and commentary on the original text, making it accessible to readers who are not familiar with Chinese culture or language. The Li Ki is an important resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient China, and it provides valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of this fascinating civilization.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.
