In ancient Chinese society and its political operating mechanism,Education plays an important role。The principles and methods adopted for education are diverse,In addition to Han Feizi’s thoughts of “taking the law as teaching”,Confucianism based on ritual and music is the mainstream,Long time、Influenced ancient Chinese society on a large scale。Qin and Han Dynasties,Confucian documents focusing on the education of ritual and music,Involving specific etiquette and laws、There are more regulations on etiquette,The Book of Rites focuses on recording specific rituals、Classic documents such as "Zhou Li" and "Yi Li" are quite different in purpose。The "Book of Rites" says "or record the meaning of the old rites",Maybe the reason for the ceremony,Or also remember the physical performance,Or miscellaneous gains and losses,Therefore compiled,For the purpose of remembering,Focus on elucidating the "ethical meaning" behind etiquette items,Thus it can more directly discuss the implementation of ritual and music education and the thinking of the ritual and music education itself。Through the interpretation of classic documents such as "Book of Rites",Ritual and music education has become a comprehensive system,And actually play a role in social and political life。Contents about education in "Book of Rites",With the word "bet365 sign up offer and Earth" as the core line,Concentrated in "Yue Ling", "Li Yun", "Yue Ji" and other chapters。

 The image of "bet365 sign up offer and Earth" seen in "Book of Rites",Not a personal god with his own personality,More and Natural Order、Similar natural phenomena,Thus, the image of bet365 sign up offer and earth is used to refer to its form,That is, "Natural bet365 sign up offer" in Feng Youlan's "Five Meanings of bet365 sign up offer"。Education as a human thing obviously does not belong to the phenomenon of bet365 sign up offer and earth,The "Book of Rites" never confers the two together。Therefore,The Book of Rites distinguishes the phenomena of bet365 sign up offer and earth from things in the human world in an ontological sense,It is the logical starting point for establishing the relationship between "bet365 sign up offer and earth" and education。The phenomena of bet365 sign up offer and earth are mainly represented as objective natural phenomena in "Book of Rites"。These natural phenomena are ordered by the four seasons,Rich and diverse,Such as "bet365 sign up offer and earth are in harmony,The distinctive feature of natural phenomena such as vegetation sprouting, bet365 sign up offer and earth beginning to become quiet, and earth energy suppressed is that they do not have consciousness,Not related to the value of human affairs。The opposite of human affairs,It’s more complicated,Based on the principle of whether it is directly related to the phenomena of bet365 sign up offer and earth,Can be divided into two categories。The directly related category is "all stings lead to death",The people are bound to get sick” and “the cold and heat will cause diseases from time to time”,Without wind and rain, there will be hunger”,There is some connection between human production and life and natural phenomena。The other type better reflects the difference between things in the world and phenomena in bet365 sign up offer and earth,This category is "ordering hundreds of officials, high or low, to do their homework" and "can be dismissed from office for nothing",Remove the useless ones""Tuquetingmenlu,Building jails and other social life affairs。After discussing the difference between the phenomena of bet365 sign up offer and earth and the affairs of the world,The "Book of Rites" demonstrates how people understand the relationship between themselves and bet365 sign up offer and earth: "Old friends,The virtue of bet365 sign up offer and earth,The intersection of Yin and Yang,Gathering of Ghosts and Gods,The beauty of the five elements is also... an old friend,The heart of bet365 sign up offer and earth,The end of the Five Elements,Those who are born without food and taste。”Explanation of “the virtue of bet365 sign up offer and earth” as the key element of becoming a human being,Confucius said: "Old friends,He who is virtuous in bet365 sign up offer and earth,The overturning of bet365 sign up offer is virtue,The virtue of the land is to carry it out,Born with human feelings,This is the virtue of bet365 sign up offer and earth。”Human beings are born between bet365 sign up offer and earth by sensing bet365 sign up offer and earth,Thus established the relationship with bet365 sign up offer and earth,And further use this as a way to understand bet365 sign up offer and earth。Since people can actively respond to bet365 sign up offer and earth,The principle that man should obey bet365 sign up offer and earth must have two options: obeying bet365 sign up offer and going against bet365 sign up offer。The "Book of Rites" points out that this principle is contained in the phenomena of bet365 sign up offer and earth,Propose the ethical principle of "taking compliance as the basis"。

In many of the above discussions,The principle of "shun" is looming,We can only roughly feel this meaning,But there is no direct conclusion to support it。The Book of Rites introduces an unusual concept in another place,Resolved this problem: "Sacrifice of bet365 sign up offer and Earth,The matter of the ancestral temple,The way of father and son,The righteousness of monarch and minister,Lun Ye。”About the word “Lun”,"Lun in "Shuowen Jiezi",The explanation of "generation" is widely known,"Book of Rites" introduces four categories of things,Think it contains ethics。Kong Shu explained that "this matter is all a matter for the lower class",Taking compliance as the foundation,So Yun Lun Ye"。Man corresponds to bet365 sign up offer and earth,It is "the following things"。Therefore,bet365 sign up offer and earth endow "Lun" with the quality of "shun" by its own nature。To this point,The relationship between the phenomena of bet365 sign up offer and earth and things on earth is established in an ingenious way,And the principles for handling this relationship are also clarified,This lays a solid theoretical foundation for education。

Although the system from bet365 sign up offer and earth to man has been established,However the clarified premise points us,bet365 sign up offer and earth themselves have no subjectivity,Not consciously punishing things in the world。actually,To deal with the relationship between people and the relationship between people and bet365 sign up offer and earth in the way of bet365 sign up offer and earth,Still human beings。But after "Jedi Tiantong",Only specific people have this ability or authority。"Book of Rites" calls such people "sages",Using "saints" as the medium to communicate between bet365 sign up offer and earth and ordinary people,Proved that the existence of education is natural and education itself is reasonable, these two issues determine the legitimacy of education itself。Confucius pointed out: "The five dwelling places,Everyone must follow his or her own temperament, talent, and art,Make it worthy of its place,So Lu Zhiyun,Those who can be cold will live in cold,Those who can heat up will live in heat,That’s what it means。”This is an expression of the principle of “taking compliance as the basis”,The meaning is far more than just talking about "shun",The more important thing is to take "shun" as the premise,Introducing the concept of "making"。People regard "shun" as the principle that echoes the bet365 sign up offer and earth,This is a very clear conclusion,But the establishment of the principle in theory,It does not mean that the ideal of "Sunchon" will definitely become a reality。In fact,The obstacles that prevent people from "obeying" nature do not change due to people's subjective will,This results in the fact that although people have the ambition to "submit" bet365 sign up offer,The dilemma of having a "successful" journey。So,Confucius introduced the concept of "envoy",Using saints as the external driving force to "make" people obey bet365 sign up offer,Guide and help those who cannot follow their own destiny to achieve the goal of obeying the destiny。The "Book of Rites" talks about: "To Zhonghe,Where is the place of bet365 sign up offer,All things are nurtured” “Only the most sincere in the world,To be able to do your best;Be able to do your best,Then you can fulfill your nature;Able to fulfill human nature,Then the nature of things can be fully realized;Be able to fulfill the nature of things,You can praise the transformation and education of bet365 sign up offer and earth;You can praise the transformation of bet365 sign up offer and earth,You can join the world”,That is, it is clearly stated that enlightenment comes “accordingly” to bet365 sign up offer and earth。Confucius’ explanation of “zhizhonghe” is “the person can be as neutral as possible,Make Yin and Yang good,Then the bet365 sign up offer and the earth will be in their rightful place。Generation is reasonable,So all things must be nourished”,That is to say, the reason why saints teach is to make everything get its proper place。The interpretation of "exerting one's nature" is "to unite with bet365 sign up offer and earth,So you can do your best”,This discussion only talks about the natural nature of the existence of education,The expression of the source of enlightenment is still insufficient,He further explained: “The reason for sincerity comes from a miraculous source,The Way of Gute Yuntian,Cultivation of living things according to this”,Elucidates the origin of enlightenment itself。Therefore,Based on the nature of bet365 sign up offer and earth itself,The naturalness produced by education is proved;At the same time,Based on the principle that man should be in harmony with bet365 sign up offer and earth and "shun" is the basis,The legitimacy of education itself is proved。

Since education is created to solve specific social life problems,It must have a specific extension。To this,"Book of Rites" puts forward the concept of "righteousness and trust,He and Ren,The Overlord’s Weapon。Have the intention to govern the people but don’t have the tools,It won’t work” view。Ancient people’s understanding of “vessel”,With the tools we are talking about today、Similar means,Confucius explained it as "a device that is used by people to do things"。Education is not just an empty theory that only “means to govern the people”,But it has its own "tool"、From theory to method、Practical strategies。The specific principle of education is "ritual and music"。The word "bet365 sign up offer and Earth" is the collective name of bet365 sign up offer and earth,The "Book of Rites" often refers to bet365 sign up offer and earth as collectively referred to as humans,While demonstrating ritual and music as a method of education,"bet365 sign up offer and Earth" are divided into two concepts: "bet365 sign up offer" and "Earth",corresponds to music and etiquette respectively,That is, "Happiness is created by bet365 sign up offer",Rites are governed by the land”。The "Book of Rites" is very logical from the point of view that rituals and music are in harmony with bet365 sign up offer and earth in nature、Rituals and music originate from bet365 sign up offer and earth、The implementation of rituals and music matches the bet365 sign up offer and earth, and all things have their proper place. The rituals and music as specific principles of education are explained in three aspects。

First,"Great happiness and harmony between bet365 sign up offer and earth,Great gift and bet365 sign up offer and earth share the same festival,No matter what happens, nothing is lost,Sacrifice to bet365 sign up offer and earth"。bet365 sign up offer and earth have the function of producing and nourishing all things and the form of Confucius saying that "everyone has its own height and size, which are limited by its limitations",Thus it has both the characteristics of "harmony" and "section"。“乐” harmonizes the five tones,Different rhymes "harmony" in one place,It becomes a harmonious and harmonious piece of music,The "Happiness" expresses the "harmony" characteristics of bet365 sign up offer and earth。Etiquette differentiates between high and low,Make everything have its own destiny,Exhibits the characteristics of the "festival" of bet365 sign up offer and earth。Ritual music and the harmony of bet365 sign up offer and earth,Also expressed in the matter of "respect and love together"。Confucius believed: “In this way, there will be unity in respect and love within the four seas,If a saint can do this and perform rituals, he will be happy,To rule the world,Therefore, everyone in the world agrees with their love and respect。Get something by doing courtesy,Therefore, the four seas gather together to respect each other;Get what you want,Therefore, everyone in the world shares his love。”What is said here is “so”,Obviously refers to the ritual and music teachings carried out by the Holy King that are in harmony with bet365 sign up offer and earth。Respect for "he" and love for "sameness",All stem from the harmony between ritual and music and bet365 sign up offer and earth。

Secondly,“Happy One,The harmony of bet365 sign up offer and earth;Ceremony,The order of bet365 sign up offer and earth。Hegu, all things are transformed;Preface so all things are different”。can see,Same as the construction of education by bet365 sign up offer and earth,bet365 sign up offer and earth not only construct rituals and music,And established the principle of performing rituals and music。The discussion of this principle in "Book of Rites" is divided into two categories,One is to correctly understand bet365 sign up offer and earth,Do not formulate rituals and music that are different from those of bet365 sign up offer and earth;The first category is the moderate implementation of education,Don’t excessively regulate people with rituals and music。To this,"Book of Rites" demonstrates with counterexamples,List the negative consequences of failing to act in accordance with this principle: "Let nature make things happen",Rites based on local rules。Too much control will lead to chaos,Excessive behavior leads to violence”,It also pointed out the positive approach to avoid such consequences: "Knowledge in bet365 sign up offer and earth,Then you can enjoy rituals and music。”If you don’t grasp the degree of etiquette and music education well,There is no way to control it,It is difficult to be effective。

Finally,“This section affirms that rituals and music are in harmony with bet365 sign up offer and earth,If the rituals and music are equipped,Then everything in bet365 sign up offer and earth will be in its proper place”。bet365 sign up offer and earth possess the characteristics of “harmony” and “harmony”,If people use ritual and music as matchmakers,In harmony with bet365 sign up offer and earth,You will enter the ideal state of "bet365 sign up offer and Earth are officials"。One of the reasons why ritual and music education has always been controversial,The essence of "ritual" is to determine the superiority and inferiority、Taking festival as the principle。Compared to taking "harmony" as the principle,Advocating diversity and integration,Trying to realize that “all things thrive together without harming each other,The "joy" of "the ways run parallel without conflicting",“Li” is questioned more。But Confucius’ explanation of “the officials of bet365 sign up offer and earth”,There seems to be some defense for this。Confucius said: "The rituals and music are clearly prepared,Those who are officials of bet365 sign up offer and earth,官,It’s still a matter of fact。It is said that saints can make rituals and music manifest and equipped,Things about bet365 sign up offer and earth,Everyone will benefit。”Only when the etiquette and music are complete and clearly prepared,Only when everything in bet365 sign up offer and earth is in its proper place,This cannot be achieved with just one gift。And,"Everyone gets his own benefit" means,All things that are ordered according to rituals,Everyone can get their own benefits。Viewed from this,In the principle of ritual and music, music that embodies "harmony" is the main focus,Supplemented by etiquette that embodies "festival",The value of each in his own right is better than the value of each in his own order,This is the expression of ritual and music matching bet365 sign up offer and earth。Whether it is "high in the sky or on the earth",All things are different”,Still "bet365 sign up offer is superior and earth is inferior,The king and his ministers are settled”,All show the sublimity of bet365 sign up offer relative to earth。Happiness comes from bet365 sign up offer,The ceremonial person comes from the ground,The distinction between ritual and music itself is also determined by bet365 sign up offer and earth。
