Abstract

The Confucian thought of Ya music education originated from the sacrificial ceremonies in the primitive society. In the sacrificial ceremonies, people tried to please gods with music and dance, with a strong utilitarian purpose. With the "philosophical breakthrough" in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius was the forerunner of private schools and founded the Confucian school of thought. In the process of removing the witch, Confucius emphasized the educational function of Ya music on the people, taking Ya music as an effective tool to train political talents, to improve the personal moral personality and to enhance the aesthetic realm, etc. The effort made by Confucius was inherited by the generations of later Confucians, which formed the tradition of the Confucian Ya music education.
