*''Chinese/Japanese'': 礼記 ''(Lǐjì, Raiki)''
The ''Book of Rites'' is one of the [[Confucian classics]], covering topics of ritual and etiquette, and providing the basis (along with the [[Analects of Confucius]] and other key classics) for [[Confucianism|Confucian]] beliefs about proper behavior, correct action, and the idea that if all in society behaved correctly in accordance with and in fulfillment of their societal roles, then all of society would fall into a great cosmic balance and prosperity would result.
Edited versions of the ''Book of Rites'' are credited to [[Han dynasty]] scholars [[Dai De]] and his nephew [[Dai Sheng]] (both 1st c. BCE).
In the [[Neo-Confucianism]] pioneered by [[Song dynasty]] philosopher [[Zhu Xi]] in the 12th c. CE, several chapters excerpted from the ''Book of Rites'' came to be counted among the [[Four Books]] which formed the core of his Neo-Confucian philosophy.<ref>Valerie Hansen, ''The Open Empire'', New York: W.W. Norton & Company (2000), 357.</ref> The ''Book of Rites'' is also included among the Five Classics.<ref>Arai Hakuseki, Joyce Ackroyd (trans.), ''Told Round a Brushwood Fire'', University of Tokyo Press (1979), 282-283n65.</ref>
