What is the view of music in Yue Ji?

Yue Ji is the representative work of Confucian music theory.

When the heart moves, everything does its best. Feeling things and moving, taking sound as the shape. "That is to say," music "means that people's hearts are influenced by external things, and they have certain thoughts and feelings when they are excited, and then they are vividly expressed through sounds and dances organized according to certain laws.
