*''Chinese'': 大清通礼 ''(Da Qing tongli)''
The ''Da Qing tongli'', or "Comprehensive Rites of the Great Qing," is a volume detailing Imperial rites performed in the [[Qing Dynasty]] Court.
The rites are divided into five categories, known as ''wuli'' (五礼):
#''Jili'' (吉礼) - "auspicious rites," including world-ordering rites, sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, and other rites performed by the Chinese Emperor in his role as Son of Heaven, i.e. as the pivot between Heaven and Earth.
#''Jiali'' (嘉礼) - "felicitous rites," performed by the emperor in his role as ruler; these include a variety of rites in which government officials assemble before the emperor, including the emperor surveying his subjects, the handing down of imperial edicts, the receiving of memorials to the throne, and the like.
#''Xiongli'' (凶礼) - "inauspicious rites," including, chiefly, funerary rites.
#''Binli'' (賓礼) - "guest ritual," governing the reception of regional lords and foreign emissaries.
#''Junli'' (軍礼) - "martial rites," performed by the emperor in his role as military leader and warrior.
