Abstract:“Family rituals (jiali, 家礼)” refer to the four major rites, namely capping rites (guanli, 冠礼), nuptial rites (hunli, 婚礼), funeral rites (zangli,葬礼) and ancestral offerings (jili, 祭礼).ZHU Xi, a great Neo-Confucian philosopher in the Southern Song Dynasty, compiled Family Rituals on the basis of Rites of Zhou (zhouli,周礼), Rituals(yili,仪礼)and rituals observed by common people in Tang and Song Dynasties. Family Rituals was a manual for the private performance of the standard Chinese family rituals in Ming and Qing Dynasties. In addition, it spread eastward along with other theories and doctrines of ZHU Xi, and was widely accepted by Korea (Joseon Dynasty), Japan (Edo Age of Japan),Vietnam (the Post Li Dynasty/ Nguyen Dynasty) and other neighboring countries. The so called Jiali documentation are the revised versions of Jiali in those countries and dynasties (such as a Japanese version revised by Asami Keisai) , Juja garye(Korean version of the ZHU Xi’s jiali)and a revised Vietnamese version (Shoumei Jiali, 寿梅家礼). During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the publication and influence of Jiali in East Asia reflects the spread of ZHU Xi’s ritual system and Confucian orthodoxy of late kings represented by ZHU Xi’s Jiali to neighboring countries in East Asia, and also highlights a dynamic historical process when the neighboring countries constructed their own ritual system under the influence of Confucian civilization.
