First, it reviews previous research on ideas of li （ritual and social norms） and discusses why Xun Zi＇s theory of li has been undervalued. Second, it briefly introduces my earlier study of this issue, The Confucian Quest for Order.＂ The Origin and Formation of the Political Thought of Xun Zi. Third, it proposes an analytical framework that highlights the intellectual characteristics and historical role of li in the Xunzi. This framework analyzes li in the broad sense, differentiating between the theory of li, li as an institution and li as a way to the restoration of order.

Higher plants are multicellular organisms. A plant is originated from a single fertilized egg, which eventually develops into an intact individual with all necessary tissues and organs. Cell-to-cell communication is therefore especially critical throughout its life span, from embryo development, to tissue and organ formation, and finally to flowering and senescence, in addition.展开更多
