其後朱熹講明詳備，嘗欲取《儀禮》、《周官》、《二戴記》為本，編次朝廷公卿大夫士民之禮，盡取漢、晉而下及唐諸儒之說，考訂辨正，以為當代之典，未及成書而沒。 Later Zhu Xi expounded ritual with exhaustive thoroughness. He once planned to take the Ceremonial Rites, the Offices of Zhou, and the two Dai ritual records as his foundation, arrange the rites of court, nobles, officials, and commoners in order, and incorporate the commentaries of scholars from Han and Jin onward through the Tang, revising and correcting them to establish a canon for the age—but he died before the work was finished.
