This biography of the court scholar Xun Xu explores central areas of intellectual life in third-century China - court lyrics, music, metrology, pitch systems, archeology, and historiography.

Besides solving technical puzzles about the material details of court rites, the book unfolds factional struggles that developed into scholarly ones.
