What reading level is Confucius And Confucianism Four Lectures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We find references to buildings set apart for this purpose ; rites and ceremonies carefully defined and regulated ; set seasons for the observance of such rites, and specially-appointed officials for the celebration of them. Thus we read of the " Temple of the Accomplished Ancestors" " The Arranger of the Ancestral Temple" corresponding to the President of the Board of Rites at the present day, who is also entitled " Chief of the Ancestral Temple "; offerings of bullocks, sheep, swine, cereals,... jade and silk, libations to the spirits, etc. ; sacrificial robes, vessels invested with a special sanctity and burnt or buried when worn out ; sacred music to be used only on such occasions ; special seasons four times in each year when regular sacrifices were to be offered, particularly Spring and Autumn, as well as extraordinary occasions when offerings were required.
In the " Book of Odes " we find how the idea is elaborated by the aid of the poetic art ; and how the Imperial Ancestors, in an ever-ascending scale, are elevated at last to a position of association with Heaven ; are represented as banqueting with Shang-ti, and thus sharing with the Supreme Being the sacrifices which are offered by their respectful descendants.
