Yili was believed being codified in the Warring States period, but some rituals recorded in the book could be traced back to Spring and Autumn or Western Zhou. Compared to bronze inscriptions, Jinli has similar but more complicated rituals with Western Zhou. Scholars used to compare Yili and Wextern Zhou bronze inscriptions directly and seldom consider the time sequence of the two, thus their study could not show the relationship between Yili and rituals in Western Zhou. This paper intends to study Jinli from the perspective of time. By observing the basic ritual process reconstructed from bronze inscriptions and comparing the basic process with rituals in Jinli, I discovered that rituals in Jinli were similar with Western Zhou in forms, which could be rituals preserved from Western Zhou. However, some rituals in Jinli did not appear in Western Zhou or was modified from the Western Zhou forms. The difference indicated that the author of Jinli intended to estrange the king and marquises, lowering the status of marquises and raising the authority of king.
