Textual Research: Rites of Zhou, Offices of Heaven, Curtain Makers: The annotation states the yi is located within the curtains, like a ceiling canopy placed above the seats in a tent. We have corrected the character for tent (wò) based on the original text. Also: When worshipping the Five Emperors at the morning sun sacrifice, spread the large temporary lodging and the small temporary lodging, and set up the double canopy. We note that the morning sun sacrifice to the Five Emperors is a passage from the Office of the Ceremonial Tent, not the duties of the Curtain Makers. We have corrected the text to specify the Office of the Ceremonial Tent and changed the reference to the Five Emperors accordingly.
