论周敦颐之“乐”

Statement of the“Music”of Zhou Dunyi

周敦颐之"乐"有声音特征,胸怀家国天下,以"乐"为本体,以圆满无缺的"诚"为根本,以成圣为旨归,以圣人所作之"乐"实现圣人之本——"诚"。而"礼乐"中的"乐"不以"乐"为本体,且无声音,其核心是礼。故,"礼乐"之"乐"不是音乐,而是用来表明对于"礼"的遵守。

Zhou Dunyi’s"Yue"has sound characteristics,his mind has the country and the world.The"Yue"takes"music"as the Noumenon,the perfect"sincerity"as the root,with the aim of becoming a saint.The"music"made by the sage realizes and implements the root of the sage:"sincerity".However,"Yue"in"Li-Yue"is not based on"music",and has no sound.The core of"Yue"is"Li".Therefore,the"Yue"of"Li-Yue"is not music,but used to show the observance and implementation of"Li".
