Harmonious Rites
"Constitution of Harmonious Rites" is a satirical throwback to the chinese writer Lu Xun, who criticized traditional confucian values as 吃人 or "cannibalistic" in nature, eating the spirit of the young to feed and perpetuate the system. Though his work was used to fan the flames of revolution in the 1920s the societal prevalence of 吃人 can be said to be even higher today despite increased absolute material wealth.
