Three Respects - Sanraizu (English: Three Respects)

Japanese: 三礼図 - さんらいず（英語表記）Sān lǐ tú

Written by Nie Chongyi of the Song Dynasty in China. 20 volumes. The three books of rituals, the "Gilai," "Shuulai," and "Laiqi," are difficult to understand even if you just read the text, so this book illustrates the costumes, tools, and facilities that appear in them. It is said that six old illustrations by Zheng Xuan and others were used, but there are doubts about the existence of Zheng Xuan's old illustrations. The compilation of this book began at the end of the Five Dynasties period with the task of organizing the ceremonial system of the imperial court, and after it was completed in the Song Dynasty, the illustrations were also painted on the walls of the Imperial Academy.

Japanese:

中国，宋の聶崇義（せつすうぎ）の撰。20巻。礼（れい）の経典である《儀礼（ぎらい）》《周礼（しゆらい）》《礼記（らいき）》の3書は，本文だけを読んでも理解困難な部分が多いところから，その中に出る衣冠や用具，施設などを図に描いたもの。その際，鄭玄（じようげん）らの著した6種の旧図を用いたと称するが，鄭玄の旧図の存在などについては疑問がある。この書物の編纂は五代の末年に宮廷の礼制を整える仕事から始まり，宋代に入って完成したあと，その図は国子監の壁にも描かれたという。
