Features: This book primarily discusses the rise of Confucian ritual thought in the mid-Qing Dynasty. It first introduces the idea of using ritual to govern, then explains the flourishing of ritual reverence during the Jiaqing and Daoguang eras, analyzes the debates this reverence sparked within the Confucian learning circles of the time, and finally explores the practical application of ritual thought to demonstrate the connection between Qing learning in terms of thought and governance.
