纵观现有资料,我们知道礼教伴随着私有制在夏商之际产生。到西周,生产力得到迅速发展,礼教在社会上得到普及但尚未占统治地位,这就为当时人们的社会活动提供了一个较为宽松自由的社会环境。古人认为,人是承“天地之德、阴阳之交、鬼神之会、五行之秀”[1]而产生的,是“天地之心”、“万物之君”。而礼的作用就在于“取天之道”,“治人之情”,他具体体现表现为“人义”。何为“人义”?即“父慈、子孝、兄良、弟悌,夫义、妇听、长惠,幼顺,君仁、臣忠”[2]《左传•昭公二十六年》对礼的解释为“君令臣共,父慈子孝,兄爱弟敬,夫和妻柔,姑慈妇听。”从字里行间我们不难看出“人义”所包含的具体要求。其中也涉及到了对夫妇的要求,要求夫妇分别做到“义”、“和”与“听”、“柔”,这其实也是当时人一些择偶标准,本文就是要以《诗经•国风》为研究对象探寻其中表现出的那个时代的人们的择偶标准以及有此择偶标准的原因何在。
