The study analyzes dissemination of the tradition of Rei, or propriety in Tang Dynasty in China. The study successfully finds several records of ceremonies in which Rei was observed, such as Hakamairi, a visit to a grave or and Sensou, a reburial. These findings lead to a conclusion that the tradition of Rei was widely practiced during the Tang Dynasty and had gained its momentum of carrying its custom through Five Dynasties and Sung Dynasty. With the significance of Rei within China confirmed, the study emphasizes the urgent need to widen an area of investigation about the impact and meaning of Rei in the surrounding countries including Japan.
