29 樂記:
土敝則草木不長,水煩則魚鱉不大,氣衰則生物不遂,世亂則禮慝而樂淫。是故其聲哀而不莊,樂而不安,慢易以犯節,流湎以忘本。廣則容奸,狹則思欲,感條暢之氣而滅平和之德。是以君子賤之也。
Yue Ji:
When the soil is worn out, the grass and trees on it do. not grow well. When water is often troubled, the fish and tortoises in it do not become large. When the energy (of nature) is decayed, its production of things does not proceed freely. In an age of disorder, ceremonies are forgotten and neglected, and music becomes licentious. In such a case the notes are melancholy but without gravity, or joyous without repose. There is remissness (in ceremonies) and the violation of them is easy. One falls into such a state of dissoluteness that he forgets the virtue properly belonging to his nature. In great matters he is capable of treachery and villainy; in small matters he becomes greedy and covetous. There is a diminution in him of the enduring, genial forces of nature, and an extinction of the virtue of satisfaction and harmony. On this account the Superior man despises such (a style of music and ceremonies).

樂者,聖人之所樂也,而可以善民心,其感人深,其移風易俗,故先王著其教焉。夫民有血氣心知之性,而無哀樂喜怒之常,應感起物而動,然後心術形焉。是故感激憔悴之音作,而民思憂;嘽奔慢易繁文簡節之音作,而民康樂;粗屬猛奮廣賁之音作,而民剛毅;廉直勁正莊誠之音作,而民肅敬;寬裕肉好順成和動之音作,而民慈愛。流僻邪散狄成滌濫之音作,而民淫亂。是故先王本之情性,稽之度數,制之禮義;含生氣之和,道五常之行,使陽而不散,陰而不密,剛氣不怒,柔氣不懾;四暢交於中,而發作於外,皆安其位,不相奪也。然後立之學等,廣其節奏,省其文彩;以繩德厚,律小大之稱,比終始之序,以象事行,使親疏貴賤,長幼男女之理,皆形見於樂,故曰樂觀其深矣。土弊則草木不長,水煩則魚鱉不大,氣衰則生物不遂,世亂則禮慝而樂淫;是故其聲哀而不莊,樂而不安,慢易以犯節,流漫以忘本,廣則容姦,狹則思慾;感滌蕩之氣,滅平和之德,是以君子賤之也。凡姦聲感人而逆氣應之,逆氣成象而淫樂興焉;正聲感人而順氣應之,順氣成象而和樂興焉。唱和有應,回邪曲直,各歸其分,而萬物之理,以類相動也。是故君子反情以和其志,比類以成其行,姦聲亂色,不習於聽,淫樂慝禮,不接心術,惰慢邪辟之氣,不設於身體;使耳目鼻口心智百體,皆由順正以行其義,然後發以聲音,文以琴瑟,動以干戚,飾以羽旄,從以簫管;奮至德之光,動四氣之和,以著萬物之理。是故清明象天,廣大象地,終始象四時,周旋象風雨;五色成文而不亂,八風從律而不姦,百度得數而有常。小大相成,終始相生,唱和清濁,代相為經,故樂行而倫清,耳目聰明,血氣和平,移風易俗,天下皆寧,故曰樂者樂也。君子樂得其道,小人樂得其欲,以道制欲,則樂而不亂;以欲忘道,則惑而不樂,是故君子反情以和其意,廣樂以成其教,故樂行而民向方,可以觀德矣。德者性之端也,樂者德之華也,金石絲竹,樂之器也。詩言其志,歌詠其聲,舞動其容,三者本於心,然後樂器從之;是故情深而文明,氣盛而化神,和順積中而英華發外,惟樂不可以為偽。樂者,心之動也,聲者,樂之象也,文采節奏,聲之飾也。君子之動本,樂其象也,後治其飾,是故先鼓以警戒,三步以見方,再始以著往,復亂以飭歸;奮疾而不拔,極幽而不隱,獨樂其志,不厭其道,備舉其道,不私其欲。是故情見而義立,樂終而德尊,君子以好善,小人以飭過,故曰生民之道,樂為大焉。

5 音初:
凡音者,產乎人心者也。感於心則蕩乎音,音成於外而化乎內,是故聞其聲而知其風,察其風而知其志,觀其志而知其德。盛衰、賢不肖、君子小人皆形於樂,不可隱匿,故曰樂之為觀也深矣。土弊則草木不長,水煩則魚鱉不大,世濁則禮煩而樂淫。鄭衛之聲,桑間之音,此亂國之所好,衰德之所說。流辟誂越慆濫之音出,則滔蕩之氣、邪慢之心感矣;感則百姦眾辟從此產矣。故君子反道以修德,正德以出樂,和樂以成順。樂和而民鄉方矣。

土敝則草木不長,水煩則魚鱉不大,氣衰則生物不育,世亂則禮廢而樂淫。是故其聲哀而不莊,樂而不安,慢易以犯節,流湎以忘本。廣則容姦。狹則思欲,感滌蕩之氣而滅平和之德,是以君子賤之也。

土弊則草木不長,水煩則魚鱉不大,氣衰則生物不遂,世亂則禮慝而樂淫,是故其聲哀而不莊,樂而不安,慢易以犯節,流湎以忘本,感條暢之氣而滅平和之德,是以君子賤之也。遂猶成也。慝,穢也。感,動也。動人條暢之善氣使失其所也。凡姦聲感人而逆氣應之,逆氣成象而淫樂興焉。正聲感人而順氣應之,順氣成象而和樂興焉。唱和有應,回邪曲直,各歸其分,而萬物之理,各以類相動,成象謂人樂習焉。是故君子反情以和其志,比類以成其行,姦聲亂色,不留聰明,淫樂慝禮,不接心術,惰慢邪僻之氣,不設於身體,使耳目鼻口心智百體皆由順正以行其義。反猶本也。術猶道也。
