The Imperial Culture of Huaxia Empire

From "Ethnic Origin" to "Chaos in China" Justice says: Summer is great. China has a big gift, so it is called summer; The beauty of service seal is called China. Hua, Xia Yi also. Lai is a foreigner and his land is far away. "People don't seek summer", saying that summer is near and lai Yuan is far away; "Yi doesn't mess with China", saying that Lai is Yi and Lu is China. The purpose of the two sentences is the same, and the order is right for the ear. The etiquette culture in Zuo Zhuan Ding Gong Ten Years is an important part of China ancient civilization. As early as the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, ancient sages formed a fairly perfect system of rites and music through the system of rites and music, and promoted it to the moral and ethical education of maintaining the harmonious social order of mankind. Rites and music civilization has had a great and far-reaching impact on the development history of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, and it still has its strong vitality. Rites and music culture originated from primitive worship in ancient China. "The Book of Rites" said: "At the beginning of a husband's ceremony, he began to eat and drink, but he was so anxious that the dolphin was dirty and respected, and he was clumsy and drum. If you can still make him worship ghosts and gods. " Its contribution to gifts, drumming for fun, is the earliest ritual music ceremony. In the Xia Dynasty, because "the world is home, each family is close to each other", the etiquette system was gradually established, "adults think of etiquette" and "etiquette thinks of discipline". In the Zhou Dynasty, the ritual system was the epitome of the previous generation, and gradually became complete and mature.

2. Ritual and the essence of music culture

"Rite" has several meanings in ritual and music civilization. First, "courtesy" is the foundation of human nature. "Book of Rites Quli" says: "Parrots can talk and stay with birds; Orangutans can talk and stay with animals. People nowadays are very rude. Although they can talk, are they not as good as an animal's heart? ..... is a saint, in order to educate people, make people polite, and know themselves from animals. Secondly, the important role of "ceremony" lies in regulating people's position and relationship in society. Third, "courtesy" is also a moral norm, which guides people to be kind and self-disciplined. Confucius said: "If politics is the way, it will be punished in unison, and the people will avoid it, and they are shameless; Tao is virtue, courtesy, shame and dignity. "(The Analects of Confucius Governing Politics) Therefore, the etiquette and music civilization emphasizes internalizing social rules into people's inner standards through ethics. Fourth, knowing and keeping the ceremony can achieve the realm of social harmony. "The Analects of Confucius": "Confucius said: the use of ceremony, and harmony is more expensive. Wang Zhidao comes first, and Sri Lanka is beautiful. It doesn't work to see the big things in a small way. You should know how to be harmonious and don't be polite. " It not only emphasizes the desire of "harmony is precious", but also points out that "harmony" cannot be achieved simply for the sake of harmony, nor can it be unprincipled. This principle is propriety. It is the most beautiful state to achieve harmony while observing social order.

The essence of "music" in the ritual and music civilization also has several endings. First, the social function of "music" focuses on the spirit of harmony. The Book of Rites says: "Therefore, a musician can judge a thing with harmony, compare things with ornaments, and combine rhythm with writing, so he can be close to his father, son, monarch and minister, and attach himself to the relatives of all the people." This is the first way to make fun of Wang Li. " "Therefore, the musician, the fate of heaven and earth, the rule of neutralization, human feelings can not be avoided." It is pointed out that "music" is a discipline that coordinates everything in the world, and its function is to make people live in harmony. Second, "music" pays attention to order and coordination. Yue Ji says: "Palace is king, business is minister, horn is people, feather is things. If there is no chaos, there will be no embarrassment. " It uses five-tone metaphor to describe all kinds of characters, indicating that in order to play harmonious music, it is necessary to be orderly and coordinated. Third, "music" also has the function of cultivating sentiment and changing customs. Yue Ji said, "If you treat your mind with joy, you will feel the need for forgiveness." . Yi Naoko is happy to forgive, happy to be happy, and peaceful for a long time. "The Book of Filial Piety also said:" Changing customs is not good at fun. "In other words, music education can cultivate the mind, make people happy and peaceful, and prolong life. So Confucius asked people to listen to elegant music and stay away from obscene voices. " Music, the sum of heaven and earth. Rites, the order of heaven and earth. "("Book of Rites and Music ") Order and harmony are the main melody melody melody of ritual and music civilization.
