Scholars note numerous variant characters in ”Zhi-Yi”, a Guo-dian bamboo text. Some scholars think these varience indicated differences in significance from the received ”Li-Ji”(Record of rites). The present study undertakes a comparison between the Guodian ”Zhi-Yi” and ”Li-Ji”, and interprets the significance of some key differences of terminology and proposition in these texts. Drawing on clues of meaning variance, this study examines the idea of rites (li) in ”Zhi-Yi” and its Confucian implications, as in morals and politics, governance, punishment, and the Junzi's (gentleman) speech and behavior. This study draws the conclusion that moral governance is the philosophical spirit enunciated by Confucius for practical theory, which became the essence of Confucianism. Clearly, the variant characters of ”Zhi-Yi” reflect this contextual meaning of Confucianism quite.
