走出嵇康乐论研究的误区——也谈嵇康“声无哀乐”的思想意蕴

On the Metaphysical Implication of Ji Kang's Musical Ideas

嵇康虽然主张"声无哀乐",但并没有割断与情感的联系,并且正是以这一联系为基础,他才对儒家的乐教思想作了重新定位。礼乐相须是儒家教化的基本理念之一,而嵇康的"越名教而任自然"从根本上讲也就是对儒家礼教观念的反对,因此对嵇康乐论的研究最好能引入时人以及嵇康对礼的态度作综合分析。只有将它放在魏晋玄学的背景下,把它与时人特别是嵇康对礼的态度综合起来研究,才有可能真正把握它的玄学意蕴。

Ji Kang insistes that music has no feelings,but he does not sever their relations.with these relations as the base ,he refutes the traditional division of music. Because music and ceremonies have close connections,and the slogan of ＂surpassing the Confucian ethical code and behaving natureally＂ advocated by Ji Kang is aiming at rites. If we discuss Ji Kang＇s musical thought, only regarding it as a musical problem,we can not understand its deep meaning in any event. Only placing it under the background of the Wei and the Jin metaphysics, and combining it with the attitude of Ji Kang and Wei-Jin celebrities to the ritual, then can we have the possibility to really grasp its metaphysical implication.
