孔“乐”之我见

My Views on Yue of Confucius

孔子对于"乐"的论述是中国一个美学思想的源流,乐是音乐,乐是由艺术而产生的快感。孔子提出礼乐并举的思想,将"乐"之作用提升到教化人心、调节社会次序的高度。其希望通过乐教来恢复礼治,从而沟通审美和道德之路,形成伦理规范,从而恢复到周礼制度。因此,"乐"不仅仅是一种娱乐或审美活动,而是其伦理道德的载体或实现方式。

Confucius’discussion on Yue is the source of Chinese aesthetic thought,while Yue is music,and Le is the pleasure that comes from art.Confucius puts forward the idea of Li and Yue,which promoted the function of Yue to the level of civilizing people and regulating social order.He hopes to restore the rule of propriety through music education,so as to communicate the aesthetic and moral path and form the ethic norm,so as to restore the system of ritual of Zhou Dynasty.Therefore,Yue is not only a kind of entertainment or aesthetic activity,but a carrier or way of realizing its ethics and morality.
