The Chinese ritual and music system (Chinese: 礼乐制度; pinyin: Lǐ yuè zhìdù) is a social system that originated in the Zhou dynasty to maintain the social order.[1] Together with the patriarchal system, it constituted the social system of the entire ancient China and had a great influence on the politics, culture, art and thought of later generations.[2][better source needed] The feudal system and the Well-field system were two other institutions that developed at that time.[1] According to legend it was founded by the Duke of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
The Ritual Music System is divided into two parts: ritual and music. The part of ritual mainly divides people's identity and social norms, and finally forms a hierarchy. The music part is mainly based on the hierarchical system of etiquette, using music to alleviate social conflicts.[2]
The system developed from older shamanic traditions[10] and was seen as having cosmological significance,[11] it was seen as representing the balance between Yin and Yang[11] and the Five Elements.[11]
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.[2]
