Some sections consist of definitions of ritual terms, particularly those found in the Etiquette and Ceremonial, while others contain details of the life and teachings of Confucius. The Book of Rites is a diverse collection of texts of uncertain origin and date that lacks the overall structure found in the other 'rites' texts (the Rites of Zhou and the Etiquette and Ceremonial). As a core text of the Confucian canon, it is also known as the Classic of Rites or Lijing, which some scholars believe was the original title before it was changed by Dai Sheng. The Book of Rites, along with the Rites of Zhou ( ZhЕЌulЗђ) and the Book of Etiquette and Rites ( YГlЗђ), which are together known as the 'Three Li ( SДЃnlЗђ),' constitute the ritual ( lЗђ) section of the Five Classics which lay at the core of the traditional Confucian canon (each of the 'five' classics is a group of works rather than a single text). The Book of Rites, also known as the Liji ( simplified Chinese: з¤ји®° traditional Chinese: з¦®иЁ), is a collection of texts describing the social forms, administration, and ceremonial rites of the Zhou dynasty as they were understood in the Warring States and the early Han periods.
