A Study On The Contents Of Sacrifice Activities And The Value Of Moral Education In Jiangxi Academy During The Ming And Qing Dynasties

After the development of Tang,Song and Yuan dynasties,the academy has basically completed its teaching,collecting books,carving books,offering sacrifices and other systems.The number of academies in the whole country has reached a new peak in history.The total amount of academies in Jiangxi Province during the Ming and Qing Dynasties still occupies the leading position in the whole country.It is a true province of academies.In Ming and Qing Dynasties,the sacrifice of Jiangxi Academy,as one of the most important plays in the regulation of academy,was carried out as scheduled at this stage and became a characteristic part of academy culture.The objects of sacrifice in Jiangxi Academy have distinct regional and school characteristics.For example,Anfu County,where Yangming disciples gather,mainly sacrifices Wang Yangming School and its disciples;Ji'an,the birthplace of Luling Culture,mainly sacrifices Luling officials such as Luotao,Huquan,Zhou Bida,Yanduanming and Wentianxiang Five Gentlemen;Wuyuan County,mostly sacrifices Zhu Zi and his disciples,and so on.Local sacrificial objects are different.The ritual contents of Jiangxi Academy sacrifice include preparation before sacrifice,display of sacrificial utensils,sacrificial rites,drinking and receiving gifts,etc.,which are generally consistent with official sacrifices.The sacrificial buildings are usually built differently because of the different identities of the sacrificial objects,and generally engraved with the famous words of the ancestors to stimulate the later generations.The participants in the sacrifices included not only the teachers and students of the academy,but also the local officials and the surrounding people.Sacrifice is a special form of moral education in academies.In the process of expressing reverence to the sages and ancestors in an intuitive,serious and respectful way,it not only flaunts the academic tradition of academies to the public,but also sets an example for all students,enriches students' ideal of life,stimulates students' inner moral sense and sense of mission with sages' deeds,and guides them to establish correct educational inspiration and human physiology.Think moral education to academicians through ritual and interactive sacrificial rituals is different from the moral education mode which only relies on classroom teaching in Colleges and universities at present.The moral education methods and effects of College sacrifices are worthy of reference and reference for moral training in Colleges and universities.
