Tian Tian, a member of the research team and an associate professor at Peking University's School of Archaeology and Literature, said that the bamboo janes unearthed from Liu He's tomb are very similar to the "Ritual Rites", one of the Thirteen Confucian Classics, from the content and wording, and have been temporarily named "Ritual Jane". Since the subjects recorded in the "Liturgical Jane" are mostly "Wang", it is speculated that it is a ceremonial text used by Liu He when he was the King of Changyi in Shandong.

In addition to the Liturgy, early documents documenting the practical etiquette of the Han Dynasty are very rare, and the documents documenting the etiquette of the princes are the first to be found. From these bamboo briefs, it can be seen that by the time Liu He was the king of Changyi, the etiquette of the princes had been followed by written "yi" documents. It can be inferred from this that the middle and late period of Emperor Wu when Liu He was the King of Changyi was a key period in the development of "Yi" literature in the Han Dynasty. The research team has identified two major types of rituals in the Kingdom of Changyi from the "Jane of Etiquette": feasting and drinking ceremonies and sacrificial ceremonies, and these findings have helped people understand the details of the etiquette of the Changyi Kingdom.

Experts also said that from the pre-Qin to the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, rongli with "advance and retreat" as the core has always been a very important part of Confucian etiquette; but because of the lack of early literature, there has been a lack of basis for discussion on how to implement specific rituals. The discovery of the "Liturgical Jane" fills this gap.
