Dai Deâs Records of Ritual
The Da Dai Liji
Series: - Numen Book Series, Volume: 179
- Texts and Sources in the History of Religions, Volume: 179
Dai Deâs Records of Ritual is a collection of 40 texts purporting to record the teachings of ancient Chinese rulers as well as the teachings of Confucius, his disciples, and his later followers on topics, broadly speaking, about creating society and ordering the world. The original collection contained over 80 texts, first collected sometime around the first century BCE, with Dai De æ´å¾· as the attributed editor. By the sixth century CE, a number of texts were lost, leaving the Da Dai Liji in its received form, which is presented here in English alongside the Chinese.
Nai-Yi Hsu Ph.D. (2022) earned his doctorate in Religious Studies from Indiana University. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at National Taiwan University, where he researches and teaches early Confucian philosophy, focusing on its ethical and political dimensions.
Michael D. K. Ing, Ph.D. (2011), Harvard University, is Professor of Religious Studies at Indiana University. He is the author of The Dysfunction of Ritual in Early Confucianism (Oxford University Press, 2012) and The Vulnerability of Integrity in Early Confucian Thought (OUP, 2017).
