The Moral Values Of "Musical Education" In Pre-Qin Confucian And Its Contemporary Enlightenment

At present,our society is in the midst of value conflicts and dilemmas caused by social changes.Despite the rapid development of moral education in China,there are still many horny problems.On the one hand,moral education is seriously dominated by rational discourse and lacks the perspective of poetic aesthetic development,which makes the internal construction contradictions deepen.On the other hand,aesthetic education with profound humanistic connotations(such as “musical education”)is not only difficult to exert the value of moral education,but also to dispel the effect of moral education.Therefore,the current situation of moral education urgently requires us to profoundly reflect and boldly innovate.As a state of ceremonies with a history of 5,000 years,China is rich in moral education resources.As is known to all,“ ritual and musical education” has been an important way for Chinese traditional society to carry out moral cultivation and personality shaping since ancient times.Among them,“musical education” as an important aesthetic education activity of Confucianism,has played an incomparable advantage and role in moral education.Connecting with the current practical problems of moral education in China,this paper intends to select the Pre-Qin Confucian “musical education” as the main research object,and tries to explore the moral education value it contains in order to provide useful enlightenment for improving the current moral education.This article is mainly carried out from the following four aspects:The first part mainly expounds the connotation of “musical education” in Pre-Qin Confucian and its relevance to traditional moral education.Firstly,the connotation of “music” and “musical education” in the Pre-Qin Confucian is briefly explained.Secondly,the significance of Confucian musical education and moral education in the Pre-Qin period is analyzed.Finally,on the basis of grasping the relationship between musical education and moral education of Confucianism in Pre-Qin Dynasty,this paper explores the theoretical basis of moral education by musical education.The second part analyses and evaluates the moral value of Confucian music education in the Pre-Qin period.Firstly,the value of music education in moral education is elaborated from the four aspects of “thinking”,“feeling”,“realm” and “action”: deepening moral cognition with the thought of “image and metaphor”;blending moral emotion with the feeling of “aesthetics”;creating a good moral situation and atmosphere with the “realm” of “vulgarization”;using “ritual” as the code of conduct and promoting the transformation of morality to daily behavior through ritual and music rituals.Secondly,based on the role of Confucian musical education in moral education and the specific era background in the Pre-Qin period,the advantages and disadvantages of Confucian musical Education in the Pre-Qin period are discussed.The third part finds the main problems and the practical significance faced by contemporary Chinese musical education in exerting the value of moral education in China.Among them,the main problems of contemporary musical education in the role of moral education are the alienation of the aesthetic education of "musical education" and the loss of moral education function.But the contemporary "musical education" is not only conducive to getting rid of the real dilemma faced by contemporary Chinese moral education,but also conducive to enriching people’s spiritual realm and realizing the all-round development of people.Therefore,recognizing the relationship between contemporary musical education and moral education and arousing the moral education function of contemporary musical education has become an inevitable requirement for improving the current status of moral education.The fourth part is based on the analysis and evaluation of the moral education value of musical education in the Pre-Qin Confucian,which provides enlightenment for the moral education value of contemporary musical education.Taking history as a mirror,we should correctly understand the relationship between musical education and moral education;Pushing out the old and bringing forth the new,grasping the principle of giving full play to the moral value of contemporary musical education;To make the past serve the present,this paper puts forward a practical conception of giving full play to the value of moral education in music education.
