论《诗经》大小雅中的君子文化

On the Gentleman Culture in Xiaoya and Taiga of The Book of Songs

《诗经》小雅大雅反映了西周贵族生活与贵族文化,这一文化形态的内容包括礼乐、祭祀、宴饮等方面,是儒家君子文化的源头。君子文化以"礼"为中心,"礼"规范了君子行为,昭示着人文精神的觉醒。作为君子文化的重要形态,西周祭祀的意义发生了新变,宗教权威坠落,人文精神彰显。此外,在宴饮活动中君子文化也得到了充分表达,产生了自觉的人文精神。君子文化要求君子以"令德"、"令仪"树立典范,替社会担当责任。

Poems in Xiaoya and Taiga, which belong to The Book of Songs, reflect the noble life and noble cul- ture of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The cultural patterns, including ritual, worship, feasts and other aspects, are the sources of the Confucian gentleman culture. ＂Propriety＂ is the center of gentleman culture, which standardized gentlemen＇ s behavior, showing the awakening of the human spirit. Moreover, as one of the im- portant forms of gentleman culture, the significance of the ritual in Western Zhou Dynasty had changed, which gave the performance of the fall for the religious authority, and highlighted the humanistic spirit. In addition, the feast activities also fully expressed the culture of gentlemen, resulting in the humanistic spirit. Gentleman culture requires gentlemen to set examples to people and to assume responsibilities for the society.
