[KS] Confucianism rites

[Richard McBride]

Dear Ms. Luengo:  Although a bit long in the tooth, there is a book that 
deals almost exclusively with the Sokchon Taeje:  Spencer J. Palmer.  
Confucian Rituals in Korea.  Seoul (Berkeley):  Po Chin Chai Ltd. (Asian 
Humanities Press), 1986.  It has short chapters dealing with the historical 
background, buildings and grounds, architectural decorations, the Sokchon 
ceremony, sacrificial offerings, ritual music, ritual dance, ceremonial 
attire, images and spirit tablets, many plates of pictures, and so forth.

Best
