introduction to ritual in the xunzi, and a digression on neo-xunism
Actually like Japan - Tang dynasty China

The way lǐ/rituals are described here made me think of Machiavelli’s notion of virtù. Both took a word that had been central to their predecessors and secretly tweaks its meaning to allow for more adaptations in a changing society.
