论《乐记》的创美主体修养思想

On the Thoughts of Aesthetic Subject Cultivation in Record of Music

本文从关于创美主体的身份确认、创美主体的前理解、创美主体的情感和欲望等角度,对《乐记》的创美主体修养思想予以解读。由于"圣人作乐以应天",故创美主体应有君子和圣人的修养,要"明于天地"、"穷本知变"以及具备相应的心理结构;由于人的"好恶无节",故应"慎所以感"、"以道制欲",要对自己的情感和欲望进行必要的审美调控,以促使社会向着人性化、文明化的方向提升。

This text,from the perspectives of identification,pre-understanding,the emotion and desire of the aesthetic subject,tries to interpret the thoughts of aesthetic subject cultivation in Record of Music.Because the sages compose music to echo the heaven,the aesthetic subject should have the accomplishments of a sage and a true gentleman.He should be 'open and above-board between the heaven and the earth',and able to 'carry investigations thoroughly and perceive the changes',without lacking the corresponding mind structure.Because people are not moderate in their likes and dislikes,they should 'guard against temptations' and 'control their desires with principles',in other words,people should conduct an aesthetic regulation to their emotions and desires,so as to promote the society towards a humane and civilized direction.
