It is one of the numerous popular science publications by Fr. Iakinf about the life in the China of his time. The article was devoted to the inner life of the imperial court, regulations concerning ceremonies and the emperors private life. The text is based on the Da Qing huidian (Collected Statutes of the Great Qing) that was translated into Russian by Iakinf Bichurin. The text of the article was partly used in Bichurins book China in Its Civil and Moral Condition published in 1848, and was included in a chapter on court ceremonies.
