In his monumental work A Short History of Chinese Philosophy, Feng Youlan argues that Confucians take art and morality as an educational tool while Taoists regard natural idealization as the theme of artistic creation. Based on rich historical data,the present paper aims to analyze,discuss and expound Feng's views embodied in A Short History of Chinese Philosophy by focusing on the major music genres prevalent before and during the Qin and Han dynasties. It is believed that the above arguments and the complementation of Confucianism and Taoism are the integration of rites and music and nature,which precisely reflects the musical outlook of Feng Youlan embodied in A Short History of Chinese Philosophy.%"儒家以艺术道德为教育工具,道家以自然理想化为艺术题材",是冯友兰《中国哲学简史》中的两句话.笔者以上古先秦两汉的主要音乐为切入点,以丰富的史料为据,从中剖析、论证、揭示了《简史》所描绘的这些观点.认为这两句话及儒道互补礼乐与自然一体,恰恰就是《简史》所体现的音乐观念.
