On the Original Meaning of “Thinking Purely” from Its Emerging Background

“思无邪”出自《诗经》,孔子断章取义地引用,表达了《诗经》的社会功用。孔子的理论是在当时用诗读诗十分盛行的时代背景中产生的,这个理论提高了《诗经》在文学乃至政治中的地位,促进的文学的发展。同时,它也规范了文学的情感范围,使儒家功利主义文学观深入人心,对文人的修养、文学的创作和诗者的鉴赏等诸多方面的影响都是无法估量的。

Thinking purely” came from The Book of Songs.Confucius quoted it out of contest to express its social function. His theory emerged in the times when The Book of Songswas read and used popularly,which lifted the status of it in literature and even policy, and urged literature’s development. Meanwhile, it scoped literature’s feelings, and made Confucianist utilitarianism root in the hearts. Its influence is immeasurable in literati’s self-cultivation, creation and readers’ appreciation.
