两千多年来,我们对礼乐的意义和作用的认识,其实都是根据荀子的解释。荀子认为礼乐就是圣王制定出来,自上而下,来移风易俗、矫治人心的;礼乐是统治者用来给群众做规矩的桎梏。但还复《论语》本意,由孔子的论述来看,礼乐本是群众自发的文化需求,先在民间自然形成,执政者可以利用这种文化形式,来引导人民,聚合人心,和谐共处。这真可以说是截然相反的两条礼教路线。
For more than two thousand years, our understanding of the significance and role of ritual music is actually based on the interpretation of Xunzi. Xunzi believes that ritual music is formulated by the holy king, from top to bottom, to shift popular customs, corrects the hearts of the people; ritual and rituals are used by rulers to rule the masses. However, according to Confucius’s discourse, the ritual music is the spontaneous cultural demand of the masses. First, it is formed naturally in the folk and the ruling party can use this kind of cultural form to guide people, gather people’s hearts and live together in harmony. This can really be said to be the opposite of two rituals.
