Wu-li (five-year ceremony)

Japanese: 五礼 - ごれい(英語表記)Wu-li
Wu-li (five-year ceremony)
A general term for Chinese rituals. In ancient China, rituals were used to refer to the order and norms of state, society, and individual behavior. The Zhou Rites (Book of Lies) classifies rituals into five categories: auspicious (rituals), inauspicious (funeral rites, famine, and disaster prevention), military (campaigns, triumphant returns, military training, etc.), ben (diplomacy, social interactions), and jia (coming-of-age ceremonies, marriage). This term was later applied mutatis mutandis and became a general term for rituals.
