Abstract

The Da Tang Kaiyuan li(大唐開元禮) is the first full dynastic ritual code to have survived in Chiana. It is 150 chapters prescribe in great detail a Confucian ritual programme for the emperor, members of the ninth grade. The Kaiyuan code was compiled by a scholarly commission directed first by Zhang Yue(張說) and then by Xiao Song(蕭嵩). The code groups rituals according to a fivefold division that derives from the Confucian canon. The ‘auspicious rituals’(ji li 吉禮), the first division, concerned offerings to supernatural powers or cosmological agents, mainly on the principal state altar sites at or outside the capital and the rites for the imperial ancestral temple. The second division was for ‘guest rituals’(bin li 賓禮), directives for receiving envoys from outlying territories. The third was for ‘army rituals’(jun li 軍禮) and included ‘military rehearsals’, hunts, and regulations for the report of victories. The fourth, the ‘felicitation rituals’(jia li 嘉禮) dealt mainly with the equivalent of rites of passage, coming of age ceremonies, marriage directives, investitures. Finally a section for ‘rituals of ill omen’(xiong li 凶禮), dealt with rites for death, bad harvests and illness. In this article I'll introduce the compilation process and the contents of The Da Tang Kaiyuan li(大唐開元禮). Through this introduction want to look at the content and historical significance of the national rituals play an important role in Chinese history.
