两周“学乐辨风”的运行机制与学理阐释

Mechanism and Interpretation of “Reading People through Music” during Zhou Dynasties

周王室在对世子、国子进行教育时,注重学乐辨风,意在使得未来王、国君以及王室成员能够通过音乐、歌诗所体现的音乐性特征,来观察诸侯的德义,并对其治乱进行评判。在此基础上所形成的观乐论,强化了周乐的德义蕴含,体现了早期中国对乐教、乐德的基本认知。

During Zhou Dynasties, royal families attached great importance to teaching princes and sons of high dignitaries to read people through music with the intention of enabling future kings, monarchs and royal members to observe the moral qualities of the feudal lords and judge their governance capacity through the features reflected in music and poems. The music theory based on this education intensifies De （virtue） and Yi （righteousness） contained in music of Zhou Dynasties, and reflects the basic understanding of music education and music ethics in early China.
