摘要
在《论语》中,孔子"美善合一"的主张奠定了儒家的音乐美学思想。音乐以艺术的形式帮助道德实施其教化作用。道德同时也渗透进音乐,使音乐在"美"的基础上,融合"善",达到"美善合一"。孔子无论从哪个角度来谈"乐",都是主张美善交融合一的。他赋予音乐审美以新的内涵,提高了音乐的作用,使之不仅作为娱乐的方式和表情达意的方式,还作为传递其思想、道德、伦理主张的重要形式。
In The Analects of Confucius,Confucius's thought of combining beauty and kindness established the theory of Confucian musical aesthetics.Music,by means of art,helps to educate people in terms of morals.In turn,morals can be put into music,combine beauty and kindness and reach its perfection.Confucius stood for combining beauty and kindness together,no matter from what aspects he discussed the music.He gave the appreciation of musical beauty a new spirit and strengthened the power of music,and made it the means of entertainment and expression of feelings.Also,he made the music an important means of conveying ideas,morals and ethics.He had great effect on the development of music and made great contribution to it.
