孔子认为教育是“兴于诗”“立于礼”“成于乐”,其中就包含着对美育的重视。今天,我们用“中国梦”来激励人心,一定意义上说就是全民族的“兴于诗”;加强制度建设、强调制度自信,一定意义上说也就是新时代的“立于礼”;“成于乐”的“乐”不仅是音乐之“乐”,快乐之“乐”,而且是在道德的普遍高尚,活力的竞相迸发,精神的昂扬向上,人民对美好生活的追求中不断实现的“天下尽欢颜”之“乐”。从古至今,先贤们对于美育的思考从未止步,这些思想结晶在今天仍具有现实意义,社会主义文化大发展大繁荣来自民间、来自大变革的时代,我们正在大踏步迈向现代化,尤其需要加强美育。
嗟夫!予尝求古仁人之心,或异二者之为,何哉?不以物喜,不以己悲,居庙堂之高则忧其民,处江湖之远则忧其君。是进亦忧,退亦忧。然则何时而乐耶?其必曰“先天下之忧而忧,后天下之乐而乐”乎!噫!微斯人,吾谁与归?
世有伯乐,然后有千里马。千里马常有,而伯乐不常有。故虽有名马,祗辱于奴隶人之手,骈死于槽枥之间,不以千里称也。马之千里者,一食或尽粟一石。食马者不知其能千里而食也。是马也,虽有千里之能,食不饱,力不足,才美不外见,且欲与常马等不可得,安求其能千里也?策之不以其道,食之不能尽其材,鸣之而不能通其意,执策而临之,曰:“天下无马!”呜呼!其真无马邪?其真不知马也!
