The Historical Evolution and System Construction of Ancient Opera's Concept of Moral Education
The concept of"moral education through rites and music"is the core idea of traditional culture,which di-rectly permeates and influences the generation and development of the concept of opera moral education.During the Song and Yuan Dynasties,with the involvement of literati in opera activities,the concept of"poetic education"was consciously transplanted into opera.Gao Zecheng proposed the cornerstone of the"Fengjiao Guan"(cultivation)con-cept by stating"It matters not whether it conforms to the standards of etiquette;even if it pleases,it is in vain",lay-ing the foundation for the emergence of the culture education trend in mid-Ming dynasty.As moral education dramas became stagnant,the late Ming drama circle,influenced by Wang Yangming's Xinxue(Heart-mind Theory),intro-duced a new concept represented by Tang Xianzu advocating"using emotions as principles".During the Qing Dynas-ty,with the strengthening of imperial power,there emerged a trend in opera where"emotion"and"principle"were harmonized.The integration of the two aesthetic moral education concepts,"using emotions as principles"and"using emotions to elucidate principles"constitutes two important dimensions of the"opera education"ideology.
