论李世民音乐政治观对儒家礼乐思想的继承和转化 = A study on Li Shimin music-politics: inheritance and transformation of Confucian ritual and music thought by 许惠佳 Koh, Hwee Kay

“…To a certain extent, he had inherited Yueji, Confucian ritual and Music thought - which extensively covers the social influence and educational function of music to society – while at the same time, his Music-politics thought bears much resemblance to those of Ji Kang. This article hopes to explore in detail Li Shimin’s Music-politics thought, and by using Yueji as a comparison, analyses how his inheritance and transformation of Confucian Ritual and Music thought played an important role in shaping the Tang Culture.…”
