China's traditional aesthetics is the representative of China's traditional aesthetics.

China's traditional culture is profound and has a long history, and it is an important part in the history of human culture. Traditional culture advocates individuality, and nature is the unity of life. Man and nature are inseparable, and the aesthetic way pursues spiritual experience and emphasizes understanding. Influenced by traditional cultural thoughts, China's traditional music permeated with aesthetic thoughts and further developed into a unique aesthetic theory, which had a far-reaching impact on later generations. Let's briefly analyze the music and aesthetics represented by Confucianism, Taoism and Mohism. 1: Confucian music theory system;

Confucian music theory fully affirmed the role of music in social life. Xunzi believes that in turbulent times, music can inspire the soldiers in front to be brave and good at fighting, and in a peaceful environment, music can make people do it by courtesy.

In terms of music content and artistic form, Confucian music theory puts the goodness and harmony of content in the first place and the beauty of artistic form in the second place. China's traditional music aesthetics takes harmony as its core, which has a far-reaching influence on the development of China musicians. Confucian music theory also regards musicians' art as a way to know the truth.

2. Representative works:

Yue Ji and Yue Ji are representative works of Confucian musicians' aesthetic thoughts.

"Yue Ji" discusses the origin of music: from the mortal world, from the human heart; From the use of things, it is also influenced by things, so it is shaped by sound. Music is composed of space, and its root is that people's thoughts and feelings are stimulated by external things, and their mentality towards things is dynamic, which is the view of the original materialism reflection theory.

The Music Record puts forward many problems related to music art, such as the causes and characteristics of music, the relationship between music and national politics, the relationship between music and real life, the aesthetic function of music, the educational function of music, the social function of music and so on.

"Yue Ji" put forward his own musical aesthetic thought, such as writing in the book: Therefore, virtue is the top, art is the bottom, and the line is the first, and the afterwards is the success. -(Love Story). In other words, the ideological content of the work is primary, the skill is secondary, the cultivation of moral character is primary, and the completion of things is secondary. This gives us an inspiration: in contemporary music teaching, professional music talents are needed, but it is more important to cultivate and expand music quality through music education and have certain artistic accomplishment.

3. Representative:

(1) stands for Confucius (565438 BC+065438 BC+0-479 BC)

Confucius was a great thinker, politician and educator in the Spring and Autumn Period. As the founder of Confucianism, Confucius is one of the important representatives in the history of China music culture. His musical thoughts are mainly concentrated in The Analects of Confucius.

Politically, Confucius advocated ruling by political virtue, ruling by courtesy, emphasizing the political role of etiquette and music, and emphasizing that music can influence people morally. He once said: it is not good to be happy and change customs, and it is not good to treat the people with courtesy. Confucius believes that the ideological and artistic quality of music is goodness and beauty. In line with the so-called benevolent is good, and those who show peace and moderation are beautiful, which has formed one of the earliest musical aesthetic standards in human history. Shao, which praises Shun De, is praised as a perfect art, while Dawu, which expresses conquest, is rated as an imperfect art.. Confucius believes that musicians should be restrained when reflecting people's pain and joy, and should not go beyond the moral principle of the golden mean. It is necessary to emphasize the unity of form and content, advocate elegant music that is music without lewdness and decay without injury, and dislike the passionate or rebellious voice of folk pop music like Kevin·Z and the disorderly elegance with the political prejudice of the feudal ruling class like Zheng Sheng.

(2) Representative Xunzi (about 365438 BC+03-238 AD)

Xunzi advocated the theory of evil nature in philosophy, believing that the bad habits of human nature can only be improved through education, because it is the inevitable need of human beings to emphasize the importance of etiquette and music education. He advocates that music should proceed from reality and develop and change with the progress of the times, but there is still a tendency to respect elegance and despise vulgarity in music thought. 1: Tao Te Ching, a masterpiece.

Laozi's Tao Te Ching is a famous argument of China's ancient music theory. He believes that the most beautiful music should make people feel harmonious and calm, and this kind of calm can make people get self-cultivation and sublimation unconsciously.

2. Representative figures

(1) Lao Tzu (about 57 BC1-47 BC1):

Laozi is an ancient philosopher. He believes that the contradictory changes of things are governed by a natural law called Tao. Laozi's attitude towards life is positive. In music thought, he thinks that beauty and ugliness exist in contrast, and their voices complement each other. Everyone in the sky knows that beauty is beautiful and evil is evil: everyone knows that good is good and evil is not good-the husband is obedient: so he can't go.

(2) Zhuangzi (about 369 BC-286 BC)

Based on the idea of sublime nature, Zhuangzi thinks that the essence of musical beauty is human's natural emotion. The principle of musical beauty is natural and unpretentious, with simple aesthetic feeling. Music gets rid of the bondage of ceremony, which conforms to nature and humanity. Zhuangzi thinks that there are three kinds of sounds: human voice (artificial music), earth voice (wind and grass voice) and natural voice (completely natural voice). This kind of music does not have the shape of Feng, it is full of heaven and earth, and it is wrapped in six poles. 1: stands for

(1) Mozi (about 468 BC-376 BC)

Mohism is a school of music opposite to Confucianism. Born in Shandong, Mozi was a great thinker, scholar and political activist. Musically, he strongly opposed the Confucian idea of ruling the world by rites and music, and his attitude towards life was too negative, only seeking to meet the minimum living requirements. The social function of music has not been fully understood. Mozi believes that since music art can't benefit the world, it will not only harm the world, but also make all the people rich and only increase the burden on workers. Music can not only rule the world, but also the widowed if it is more enjoyable.
