Compilation

During the 1st century BC, the text was extensively reworked by Dai De (Senior Dai) and his nephew Dai Sheng (Junior Dai). The version of Junior Dai, which was composed in forty-nine chapters, is what we regard as the work today. While the version of the Senior Dai are preserved only in fragments, modern scholars believe that the original title, Lijing ("Classic of Rites"), was dropped so that jing ("classic") would be reserved for works more directly connected with Confucius. By itself, the book includes the Classic of Music (chapter 19), however this version of the work is in a much dilapidated form from the original, which is now lost. In 1993, a chapter of the book, Black Robes, was found in tombs of Guodian, in Hubei, dated to 300 BC. (2nd millennium BC - 1st millennium BC - 1st millennium) The 1st century BC started on January 1, 100 BC and ended on December 31, 1 BC. An alternative name for this century is the last century BC.
