《太常因革礼》之“废礼”是北宋《开宝通礼》已有但建隆之后不再实行的礼仪事项,具体包括废止的礼仪细节及“未行之礼”。这些“未行之礼”是存于《开宝通礼》中,但在北宋建隆至嘉祐时期不仅未实行,且无其他相关礼典中的礼仪来取代的仅仅停留在文本上的礼仪。然而“告哀”礼在北宋前期一直实行,尤其以宋仁宗时期居多。因此,《太常因革礼》将其置于“废礼”是不合适的。
Fei Li from Tai Chang Yin Ge Li was a ritual existed in Kai Bao Tong Li during Northern Song Dynasty, but was abolished after the era of Jianlong. These abolished textual rituals not only were unexecuted from Jianlong to Jiayou in Northern Song Dynasty, but also never replaced by any other rituals from related books. While the ritual of Gao Ai was executed before Northern Song Dynasty, especially in the reign of Song Renzong. Therefore, it was unrea- sonable to include Gai Ai into Tai Chang Yin Ge Li ·Fei Li.
