出于對詩歌的道德危險的憂慮,中西詩教傳統都對詩的道德品格有嚴格的要求。盧梭與朱熹跨越中西文化的分界,在讀者的道德心理學視角下具有同樣的默契,通過對"讀者"的塑造,轉變了讀者與作者之間的被動關系,使讀者成為詩歌教育的主體,通過讀者心靈的積極參與,以不同的方式達到了詩歌教育"思無邪"的教育效果。

A common concern about the danger of moral corruption in education through poetry can be found in both Chinese and Western traditions.Rousseau and Zhu Xi agree with each other in examining this classical quarrel between philosophy and poetry through their construction of“the reader．”According to their moral psychological analysis of poetry readers,readers play an active role in forming an innocent disposition in their souls.
