从《诗经》宴饮诗探周人的治国之道

A Discussion on the Western Zhou Dynasty’s Rules of Government: from the Perspective of the Feast Poems in the Book of Poetry

西周社会是宗法封建制社会,周天子按照父权家长制的班辈来分田制禄、设官分职。为了维护宗法社会的稳定,周人改革夏礼、殷礼,形成了严密完备的周礼。《诗经》中的宴饮诗原是燕礼、乡饮酒礼等典礼上的演唱用诗,是应周礼的需要而产生的,出自西周贵族之手。因此,它既反映出西周贵族的思想意识,也揭示出周人的治国之道。

The Western Zhou Dynasty is a feudal patriarchal society. The officers and posts are arranged according to the seniority of a patriarchal social system. The land and the official＇s salary are distributed in the same way. In order to maintain social stability, the etiquette of Xia Dynasty and Shang Dynasty is reformed into the etiquette of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is rigid and complete. The feudal nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty create the feast poems in the Book of Poetry, which used to be songs on the Yan etiquette and feast ceremonies. The feast poems are reflections of the ideology of the nobles and the rules of government.
