Why Confucius attached great importance to music education?
Hehe, there is indeed "Yue" in the six textbooks compiled by Confucius for students, but it is not exactly the music we understand now, but the ritual and music of slavery countries. Confucius' thought has obvious brand of the times, and he advocates maintaining the old system of Zhou, so the six arts of Zhou people-the number of imperial shots of rites and music books is very important in his educational thought. Confucius advocated that "rites and music should be conquered from the Emperor of Zhou" and that the ritual system of the Emperor of Zhou was actually the maintenance of slavery. The music here is still a little different from the music of the working people that we admire.
