治世之音安以乐
儒家对礼乐和乐教的看法是，音乐源于人心，反过来又能打动人心。国家政治要想稳固，根基就在于人心安宁平和。世道太平、社会安稳的时候，人的情绪自然就会平静快乐，这种情绪情感体现在音乐上，风格也就偏向安宁欢快。反过来讲，安宁欢快的音乐，也能让人的情绪稳定、情感谐和，起到调节社会氛围的作用。所以，音乐和政治是相通的，它有帮助维护社会稳定、改变风俗习惯的功能。
Music in an Era of Order Expresses Peace and Delight
According to the Confucian views on rites, music and music education, music arises from the human mind and moves the people. A country enjoying peace and order makes people feel peaceful and harmonious. In an era of peace and stability, people will naturally be in a peaceful mood, which finds expression in the idyllic and merry styles of music created by them. The idyll and merriness of music helps foster a fine social atmosphere by creating serenity and mental harmony among the public. In this sense, music has a political function, as it helps maintain order and cultivate morals and mores.
引例
试使知乐者，由今之器，寄古之声，去惉懘靡曼而归之中和雅正，则感人心、导和气，不曰治世之音乎？（《宋史·乐志十七·教坊》）（如果让一个通晓音乐的人，用现在的乐器演奏古代的音乐，除去其中滞涩不谐和纤弱柔美之音，回归适中、平和、高雅、纯正的风格，从而感动人心、引导和谐风气，这不就是太平盛世的音乐吗？）
Suppose a person well-versed in music plays ancient music with a musical instrument of today. Free from disorder, stagnation, weakness, and softness, his musical notes feature moderation, harmony, elegance, and purity. Such music touches people and creates a harmonious atmosphere. Surely this is the music of an era of peace and order. (The History of the Song Dynasty)
