王锷

Wang E is an author about whom little public information is available. His work centers on ritual studies and classical Chinese texts. The library holds nine of his works, including the two-volume Collected Commentaries on Zheng's Annotations to the Book of Rites, Studies on Editions of the Book of Rites, and Writing as Ritual: Studies in Ritual Documents, which show sustained attention to the editions of the Book of Rites, the collation of Zheng's annotations, and ritual scholarship. His Annotations to Mencius engages with classical commentary. He has also edited or contributed to the Research on Ancient Documents series and written Splendid Flowers: Interviews from the Xueli Hall, a work combining scholarship with essayistic prose. Grounded in textual research, his writings are often classified under philosophy, Eastern philosophy, and classical works, and are suited to readers interested in ritual studies, classical scholarship, and ancient documents.
