先秦“以乐育情”思想的人文教化意蕴

The Pre-Qin Confucian Concept of Music as a Means of Affective Education:Its Humanistic Educative Implication

先秦思想家对乐教与情感关系进行了全面、深入的思考,形成了我国古代独特的乐教育情的人文教化思想:乐是人道与天道的合一,体现了自然、社会的和谐规律;乐通人情伦理、通政教;乐教在使人"成人"、确立个体的道德主体地位方面有独到的作用。因而,它是提升个体德性人格、促进社会和谐稳定的重要手段;以自然情感为基础,以德性情感为导向,以愉悦的潜移默化为主要影响方式,与礼教相互为用是乐教的基本特点。

The Pre-Qin Confucians made a comprehensive and intensive reflection on the relation between music education and emotions,and developed the humanistic educative concept of music as a means of affective education which is unique to ancient China.It means the unity of humanity and natural law and it represents the harmony between nature and society;it is connected with human ethical relations and the penalty and civilized intercourse;it has a unique effect in establishing the individual's moral subjectivity.Therefore it is an important means of enhancing an individual's morality and promoting social harmony and stability.Its fundamental characteristics are that it is based on natural emotions,guided by moral emotions;it functions through pleasant unconscious influence and reinforces each other with the ethical code.
