| The idea of "music education" is an important part of Chinese traditional culture."Music education" not only refers to the thought of music education,but also the happy education.The “happy education” is the main research object in this study.In Chinese traditional culture,the idea of "happy" can be found everywhere.This paper mainly discusses the representative Confucian “happy education” thought in pre-Qin period,criticizes and summarizes it,and then explains it the new era.Confucius’ "happy" penetrated into the thought of being a man,and expanded in many aspects and dimensions.As a pioneer of Confuci anism,Confucius had a profound impact on later Confucians.Mencius regarded "good nature" as the starting point,and advocated "sharing happiness with people" policy thought.However,Mencius’ "theory of good nature" was based on the idea of "harmony between man and nature",it gave logical guidance to the future generations,especially to the neo-Confucianism.Xunzi started at "evil nature" theory and proposed that only the implementation of the rule of law was “happy”.His thoughts of "to have no desire" and "the amount of desire" have exerted a profound influence on later ages.During the song and Ming Dynasties,Confucianism was influenced by Buddh ism and Taoism and presented new tendencies,such as religion,ideology,and metaphysics.During this period,Confucianism had a setback relative to the pre Qin period.Modern scholars also learn from the Confucius thought,combined with the background of the times to describe the "happy".These ideas either lay particular stress on social ethics,or cater to the needs of the rulers,or subject to the restrictions of class ethics,and can’t achieve the all-around and interactive happy of the ordinary people.We argue that "happy" is an emotional experience.This experience is not an exaction which come from windy heaven law,but the ordinary people’s emotional experience which can be accumulated in the wide and open interaction of the real life.It stands fo r practical reason instead of metaphysical concept of natural law in theory of human nature,equal interaction instead of feudal hierarchy in ethics,the realm of life of ordinary people which will never divorced from the practice,the masses,the times,t he reality of human nature,and interaction instead of feudal saints realm.Therefore,the realization of the realm of the ordinary people "happy" is to achieve the positive interaction between people,society and nature.The pursuit of "happy" in the realm of ordinary people itself contains a wealth of educational ideas,which is of great importance to the ideological and political education of contemporary college students. |
