治世之音安以乐
儒家对礼乐和乐教的看法是，音乐源于人心，而人心又能被音乐打动。国家政治稳定的根基，在于人们内心的安宁与和谐。要是社会太平、世道安稳，百姓的情绪自然会趋于平和快乐，这种情绪投射到音乐里，风格也就变得安宁欢快了。反过来讲，安宁欢快的音乐，也能让人情绪稳定、关系协调，起到调节社会氛围的作用。所以，音乐跟政治是相通的，它能维护社会稳定，还能移风易俗。
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》）（假如让一位通晓音乐的人，拿现在的乐器去演奏古代的音乐，剔除其中滞涩不谐和、纤弱柔美的部分，回归适中、平和、高雅、纯正的风格，从而感动人心、引导和谐风气，这难道不就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)
