中國「禮樂」文明的內涵凸顯了與天地、制度、身心相合的連續性傾向。 因此, 探討禮樂文明的發展與意義, 對於彰明中國文明的價值, 實為重要之事。 而新出土文獻<性自命出>的研究, 在敘明中國禮樂文明的發展意義, 有其重要性。 因為, <性自命出>中對於「禮樂」的討論, 既觸及了古代儒學思想發展的軌跡, 也關乎中國禮樂文化的理論架構之意義, 尤其在「內在化」的方向上, <性自命出>對於「性」「情」的討論, 更是具有階段轉變的意義, 可以釐清儒學發展史的一些問題。 職是之故, 本文首先將從「禮樂」所涉及的幾個層次切入, 簡要說明禮樂在中國文化發展中的重要性。 其次, 則從<性自命出>的討論著眼, 處理此一文獻所涉及的禮樂問題。 最後, 說明<性自命出>在儒學史上的意義。


Investigations of Chinese ritualistic-musical culture demonstrate an unbroken tradition of harmony among heaven and earth, systems and regulations, and body and mind. It is therefore important to discuss the development and meaning of ritualistic-musical culture, in order to understand the contributions of Chinese culture. Research on the newly excavated document “Nature Derives from Mandates (Xing Zi Ming Chu)” (“Document”) is important for the understanding of development and meaning of ritualistic-musical culture. The Document not only deepens our understanding of the trajectory of the development of classical Confucianism, but also concerns the theoretical framework of the Chinese ritualistic-musical culture. The discussions of “nature” and “emotion” in the Document hold special significance in the transformation from one stage to another in terms of “internalization,” and shed light on some questions regarding the historical development of Confucianism. Therefore, this article first discusses the multiple dimensions of “Rituals and Music” and their importance in Chinese cultural development. Then, the article explores the implication of “Rituals and Music” discussions in the Document. Lastly, this article examines the significance of the Document in the history of Confucianism.
