《安世房中歌》与汉初政治文化

An Shi Fang Songs and the Political Culture in the Early Han Dynasty

《安世房中歌》是汉初的宗庙祭乐,也是汉代贵族乐府的代表作之一。其诗句既赞颂汉高祖刘邦的功德,又向后世统治者宣示汉家治天下之道。汉帝国建立初始,在政治文化构建方面遇到了诸多困难,《安世房中歌》对此作了回应,以宗庙祭乐之形式唱出了解决汉初困局的方法。而对儒家思想的推崇,又使其成为汉代儒学昌盛之先声。

The An Shi Fang songs are the sacrificial music in the early Han Dynasty and also one of the masterpieces of noble Yuefu in the Han dynasty. The verses not only praise the achievements and virtues of Liu Bang,the first emperor in Han Dynasty,but also manifest the later rulers the methods of ruling the world. At the beginning of the Han Empire,there were many difficulties in the construction of political culture,to which An Shi Fang Songs have made a response in the form of sacrificial music to give the solutions to the predicament. Later on,the promotion of Confucianism made it the herald of prosperous Confucianism in the Han Dynasty.
