Ritual and music system

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ritual Music System (Chinese: 礼れい乐制度せいど) is a social system that originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The Ritual Music system and Patriarchal Clan system were important parts of the culture.[1] Legend says it was founded by the Duke of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

The system developed from older shamanic traditions[8] and was seen as being spiritually important,[9] it was seen as representing the balance between Yin and Yang[9] and the Five Elements.[9]

The regulations on ritual and music strengthened people's concept of hierarchy, played a symbolic role in establishing authority, alongside standardizing rule across the civilization.[1]
