Abstract: This paper gives an overall estimation on books covering family rituals in the Qing dynasty，and divides these books into three main categories: books printed in former dynasties; works officially- compiled in Qing dynasty and works privately-compiled. The paper finds that on the one hand，family rituals in the Qing dynasty followed the tradition in the Song and the Ming dynasties，functioned similarly when facing similar social environment，and stuck to more or less the same compilation principles. On the other hand，some changes occurred in specific rites and ritual structures due to the ethnicity of the ruling Manchu group and social changes like the flourishing of commoner clans. Compared with former dynasties，instead of fading away，family rituals in Qing were richer and more prosperous.
