On the Influence of The Zhuzi Family Rites on the Family Rituals of the Early Period of Korea
As Zhu Xi's work on rituals,the part of the ancestral hall in Volume I and the entire Volume V of The Zhu-zi Family Rites set out the specific requirements for ancestral worship and various types of family rituals,reflecting the values of ancestor worship,patriarchal concepts,and rites of passage to the common people.The Zhuzi Family Rites was introduced to the Korean Peninsula in the first half of the 14th century and had a profound influence on the family rituals of the early period of Korea.This book rooted the Confucian concept of sacrifice into the minds of Kore-an scholars,prompting the Korean scholars to attach importance to the family temple sacrifice and establish the an-cestral hall system,and then establish the patriarchal and family concepts in the family sacrifice.It can be said that types and rituals of the family sacrifice in Korean society basically follow the The Zhuzi Family Rites.
