《礼记》 / Book of Rites

《礼记》 / Book of Rites enters this wiki through Qinji 131-3, where the host uses it to frame proper drinking as enjoyment without loss of composure. In the episode’s reading, ritual drinking is not simply abstinence; it can support harmony, pleasure, and social relation when bounded by self-command.

The page is source-scoped. It records the episode’s use of 《礼记》 in the alcohol discussion rather than summarizing the whole classic.
