周代礼乐表演与乐教教化的融通

The Integration of Ritual Music Performance and Music Education in the Zhou Dynasty

礼乐表演是周代乐教的重要教化方式。一方面,礼乐表演造型容纳了体态仪容、言辞声音、服色、数量等,实现了行为举止、精神传达、意识抒发的统一,对道德的外在表现进行生动传达。另一方面,礼乐表演环节、表演文本常与仪式主题、主体行为、主体身份相对应,显示出较强的程式性与差异性,对道德内涵进行集中诠释。礼乐表演之所以能成为周代乐教的教化方式,是因为礼乐表演具有化抽象观念为具象形式、融情于礼的张力,且周代礼乐仪式参与者、表演者、接受者往往互为一体,能更好地促进伦理道德的传播。

This allowed for the vivid external manifestation ofmoral values.

As a result, they showcased a notablecombination of formality and diversity, providing a concentrated depiction of moral implications.
