The content of the education of Chinese studies in the Western Zhou Dynasty is centered on rites and music, supplemented by shooting, imperial examination, writing and calculation. Ethics is the knowledge education about politics, patriarchal clan system, ethics and etiquette. Rites are the yardstick for the founding of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the contents involved are also very extensive. The Book of Rites says "Rites are in the country of the son of heaven", just like weighing, keeping the ink straight and keeping the rules square, so the education of rites occupies a core position in the education of Six Arts in the Western Zhou Dynasty. In addition to standardizing religious concepts and rituals such as offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, The Rites of the Western Zhou Dynasty also aims to instill the concept of hierarchy and patriarchal clan system, so as to strengthen the political status of the Western Zhou Dynasty kingship. The rituals of the Western Zhou Dynasty's Chinese studies include five aspects: good or ill luck, military service, hospitality and etiquette. The rural studies recorded in the literature include "six rituals" such as crown, marriage, funeral, sacrifice, banquet and meeting. The ethics of Chinese studies is dominated by historians, while the ethics of rural studies is dominated by Da Situ.

Music teachers should learn about religious sacrificial music and dance, including music, dance, poetry, budding drama, composition and so on. In a word, it is the education of music morality, music language and music and dance. Music education is one of the main courses of Chinese studies, and senior musicians are fully responsible for it. The educational content of "Lede" includes six aspects: loyalty and filial piety. It is also a comprehensive education of politics, religion and ethics. Its core is to promote the concept of hierarchy and birthright. The so-called voice is associated with politics. All kinds of important national activities in the Western Zhou Dynasty, such as tasting big sacrifices, attending ancestral temples and drinking in rural areas, are accompanied by music, and the real world's birthright is expressed through different music and dances. Therefore, Sacrifice Music pays attention to "optimism" and thinks that "the principles of closeness, dignity, old and young, men and women are all embodied in music". Calling virtue the joy of the Western Zhou Dynasty also has a wide range of social significance. "Poetry, Zhou Song, Qing Palace Affairs" eulogizes the virtues of Wen Wangde, including Wen Wangde's presence in heaven, which is a model for many scholars; "Levin" praised Wang Weizheng, the princes helped sacrifice, reviewed the criminal code, and diligently solved Wang De; "Tianzuo" praised Wang Wen for promoting civilized politics in Bang Qi and abolishing the old customs of emperor righteousness; "Shi Mai" said that the prince of Wu "carried an arrow with his arms" and conquered the world, but he could do whatever he wanted. "Official Works" reflects the Western Zhou Dynasty governors' pilgrimage to the emperor and their participation in the ancestral temple sacrifice. Zuo Zhuan's twenty-nine years as Xiang Gong, as Lu, is called joy, "thinking without two, complaining without speaking", reflecting "the decline of Zhou De"; "Elegance" is "broad, cheerful, curved and straight", which embodies the virtue of the king of letters; It's called Shao Jian's Dance. "Virtue is great, as great as heaven and earth." . Obviously, the profound philosophy expressed by music not only goes deep into people's inner world, but also reflects various concepts of social, political and cultural life, thus becoming an indispensable content of school education in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, later scholars believe that "there is nothing to learn except pleasure". However, the subtlety of "The Theory of Yue De in the Western Zhou Dynasty" must be taught by universities and learned by scholars. Therefore, the learning pleasure of scholars is also a useful tool for the world. Music education in the Western Zhou Dynasty includes six aspects: enlightenment, guidance, irony, recitation, speech and language. Music and dance education is divided into big dance and small dance, among which big dance is called "six kinds of music", namely "Cloud Gate", "Big Fairy", "Big Summer" and "Big Dance". Through music and dance education, students can understand the national entrepreneurial process and social vicissitudes, increase patriotic feelings, and through dance movements and rhythms, students can move their blood, cultivate their temperament, and improve their artistic appreciation and creative ability.

Ethics and music education complement each other: "Music is the reason to nurture the inside", "Rites are the reason to nurture the outside" and "governing the people's safety without being good at etiquette; Change customs, not good at music. " The combination of ritual and music education can adjust the contradictions within the ruling class, reconcile the conflicts of honor and inferiority, and help consolidate the royal rule of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is also the fundamental reason why the Western Zhou Dynasty attached importance to ritual and music education.
