The Three-Charactor Scripture

Fav

诗既亡，春秋作。

礼乐诗教的时代衰落了，于是产生了记录历史的《春秋》。

这句话描述了从《诗经》到《春秋》这两部儒家经典在历史背景和功能上的承接关系。它指出，《诗经》所承载的西周时期那种通过诗歌来表达心声、进行讽谏、体现社会和谐与礼乐教化的时代氛围和社会功能逐渐消失了。

寓褒贬，别善恶。

《春秋》通过含蓄的写法来表扬或批评，从而分清好坏。

《春秋》并非只是客观地记录历史事件，而是作者（孔子）在其中巧妙地融入了自己的价值判断。孔子通过选择特定的词语、省略某些细节、改变记述的顺序等看似微小的笔法（即所谓的“微言大义”），来对历史人物和事件进行褒扬或贬斥。这种“寓褒贬”的方式，目的是为了“别善恶”，也就是明确地区分是非善恶，树立道德典范，批评丑恶行为，以此来引导社会风气，维护社会秩序和伦理道德。
