戏禁与乐教:以明前中期广东礼乐教化为考察中心

Ban of Theatre and Education through Music

儒家文化维护礼乐制度、贬斥民间音乐的思想,与封建王朝统治或者教化的需要相应合,产生了戏禁和乐教并行的现象。明代广东的音乐研究、礼乐教化,是中原传统文化传播和地方性建构以及本土文化兴起过程中的一个片断。它是崇雅黜俗的乐政的延伸,也反映了儒家学者的政治理想、文化追求。

Confucianism tended to maintain the system of rites and court music while discouraging pop music.Working in synergy with ruling class＇ need to educate their subjects this led to coexistence of banning theatre on the one hand and advocating the educating role of music on the other.Musical studies and education by rites and court music in Guangdong during the mid Ming Dynasty makes a cross-section in the process of dissemination and localization of the Central Plain culture.It was the extension of rule by music that advocates the highbrow and discourages the popular and hence a reflection of Confucian political ideal and cultural pursuit.
