《尚书·酒诰》与《诗经》中的酒德

“Collection of Ancient Texts·Alcohol Admonition” vs Drinking Ethics Reflected in “The Book of Songs”

《尚书·酒诰》与《诗经》中写酒的诗篇所反映的精神实质是一致的 ,都与周初崇尚节俭的政治思想有关 ,是那个时代的产物。在《诗经》产生的时代 ,已经形成了十分严格的用酒制度 ,各种礼仪都离不开酒。《诗经》中写酒的诗篇体现出了两种精神 :一为饮酒观德 ,二为戒溺酒。周人既重礼又重德 ,饮酒之是非得失 ,看其社会效果如何 ,是否合乎礼仪 ,有否酒德。

The article aims to analyze the attitudes towards drinking in “Collection of Ancient Texts·Alcohol Admonition”and some poems in “The Book of Songs” and help us to have a better understanding of the rites and social morals in the Zhou Dynasty.
