Poetry, ceremony and music are the basis of educating people, so we must do well. If the people have mastered poetry, ceremony and music, let them play freely. If the people can't play with these things, we must educate them and let them know and understand them. These three sentences briefly describe Confucius' cultural ideals, social policies and educational procedures. The social culture and education in ancient China were based on poetry, calligraphy, ceremony and music, and the main tools, ways and methods of education were art and literature. The function of art is to cultivate people's character and morality imperceptibly, profoundly and universally with touching feelings. Poetry and music, in particular, can directly touch people's hearts and cultivate their spiritual personality. However, in the harmony and rhythm of group life, "Li" has developed the characteristics of gentle movements, neat steps and concentrated will. From the movement of heaven and earth, the rhythm of the four seasons, the coming and going of day and night, and the constant growth of sickness and death, China people think that the universe is alive and organized. This "born with organization" is the avenue where heaven and earth run. This kind of grasping life at the highest level and experiencing the spiritual realm of life at the deepest level is reflected in social real life, which makes life dignified and beautiful, and achieves a culture of poetry, calligraphy, ceremony and music.
