“li”的意思、由来-百科全书

Confucianism

Confucian (Confucianism) concept often rendered as “ritual,” “proper conduct,” or “propriety.” Originally li denoted court rites performed to sustain social and cosmic order. Confucians, however, reinterpreted it to mean formal social roles and institutions that, in their view, the ancients had abstracted from cosmic models to order communal life. From customary patterns, li came to mean conventional norms, yielding a new concept of an internalized code of civility that defined proper human conduct. It is this concept that is both celebrated throughout the early corpus of Confucian literature and codified in the Confucian classic called the Liji (“Record of Rites”). Transcending mere politeness or convention, li is central to Confucian human-centred religiousness. A derivative of natural order, li retains a cosmic role in its enchantment of human experience by harmonizing it with nature.

bronze work

Wade-Giles romanization li

Chinese bronze, wide-mouthed cooking vessel that was supported by three legs shaped like pointed lobes. These legs were well articulated on the body of the vessel and formed an extension of the interior volume.

A coarse pottery, li was made in the Neolithic Period (c. 3000–2000 BC); this shape appeared in the bronze art of the Shang dynasty (18th–12th century BC) and was continued into the Zhou (c. 1111–255 BC) and beyond. It also reappeared in the pottery of early historical periods, but with shorter legs. The pottery form of the li was gradually replaced by the fu during the Warring States period (475–221 BC). The vocabulary of animal motifs that so typically decorates ritual bronze vessels was generally more limited on the li.
