治世之音安以乐
儒家的礼乐观和乐教思想，核心是音乐源于人心，人心也能被音乐触动。国家政治稳不稳，根基在人心是否安宁平和。社会太平、世道安稳，人的情绪自然安详快乐，这种情感投射到音乐上，风格也就安宁欢快。反过来，安宁欢快的音乐，又能让人情绪稳定、情感融洽，帮着调节社会氛围。所以说，音乐和政治相通，能维护社会稳定、移风易俗。
Music in an Era of Order Expresses Peace and Delight
According to the Confucian views on rites, music and music education, music arises from the human mind and moves the people. A country enjoying peace and order makes people feel peaceful and harmonious. In an era of peace and stability, people will naturally be in a peaceful mood, which finds expression in the idyllic and merry styles of music created by them. The idyll and merriness of music helps foster a fine social atmosphere by creating serenity and mental harmony among the public. In this sense, music has a political function, as it helps maintain order and cultivate morals and mores.
引例
试使知乐者，由今之器，寄古之声，去惉懘靡曼而归之中和雅正，则感人心、导和气，不曰治世之音乎？（《宋史·乐志十七·教坊》）（让一个懂音乐的人，用现在的乐器演奏古代乐曲，去掉那些滞涩不谐和、纤弱柔美的音，回到适中、平和、高雅、纯正的风格，这样就能感动人心、引导和谐风气——这难道不是太平盛世的音乐吗？）
Suppose a person well-versed in music plays ancient music with a musical instrument of today. Free from disorder, stagnation, weakness, and softness, his musical notes feature moderation, harmony, elegance, and purity. Such music touches people and creates a harmonious atmosphere. Surely this is the music of an era of peace and order. (The History of the Song Dynasty)
