孔子的礼乐人生模式

Confucius’s Life Model of Rites and Music

《诗经》在先秦时期差不多可比拟今日之“教材”,子曰“不学诗,无以言”;在古代社会,礼设定了各阶层成员的行为规范,子曰“不学礼,无以立”;从“十有五”志学于“诗”“礼”,到学“乐”以“成和”,达到“礼乐人和”的天命境界,进而走向“诚”“明”,最终“从心所欲,不逾矩”,实现礼乐的“中庸”,这便是孔子的礼乐人生模式。这一“范式”渊源有自,并非遥不可及,每个人都可以通过“敏以求之”的“志学”路径达到。

The Book of Poetry in the pre-Qin period may be comparable to today’s textbook,and Confucius said that if you do not study The Book of Poetry,you won’t be able to talk properly with others;In ancient society,Li(rites)sets the behavior norms of members of all classes,and as Confucius said that If you do not learn rites,you won’t be a complete man.From fifteen,Confucius learned The Book of Poetry and rites,and then yue(music)to achieve harmony,to reach the realm of unity of the rites,music and people,and then to Sincerity and Discernment,and finally do what he intends freely without breaking the rules,to achieve the Zhongyong(Golden Mean),this is Confucius’s life model of rites and music.This paradigm has its origins,and is not out of reach,everyone can achieve it through fixing the mind on learning by earnestly seeking it.
