Confucius regarded the nurturing of culture through music as a means to edify people's minds through the ceremonial music produced by ancient saints. The ancient saints employed ceremonial music in a process of moralizing to people, in order to balance people's emotions with rationality and to transform social traditions with the aim of establishing a foundation based on ethics, morality and politics. Harmony serves as the basic essence of ceremonial music and it is also the key concept in the thoughts of Confucius concerning the nurturing of culture through music. However, from a survey on the evolution of Confucian history, Dun-Yi Zhou proposed ”light & harmony” as the significance of the nurturing of culture through music in Song Dynasty. How did he take ”light & harmony” as the key Confucian concept on the nurturing of culture through music? The research aims to discuss the profound knowledge and penetrating insights on ”light & harmony” in regard to the nurturing of culture through music of the Confucian scholar Dun-Yi Zhou. The author will also refer to subsequent perspectives, including those by Xi Zhu, Yong Jiang and Xuan Wang on the viewpoints of the Confucian scholar Dun-Yi Zhou, especially Xuan Wang's. How did he follow the idea of Dun-Yi Zhou to compose and compile the Chinese Guqin lyrics and tunes? Finally, following an in-depth examination of this issue, the author will further delineate the influence and meanings of ”light & harmony” in relation to the nurturing of culture through music of the Confucian scholar Dun-Yi Zhou in the later period.
