Analysis on the Essential Provisions and Basic Compliance of Aesthetic Education

Abstract

The attention to aesthetic education and the realization of the aesthetic education function are the internal requirements of comprehensive improvement of the education quality. The essence of aesthetic education is to promote people’s all-round development and students’ social essence, cultural essence and spiritual essence. People’s cognition of beauty is the logical starting point of aesthetic education. There is a brilliant speech in The Reply to The Old Professors of Chinese Central Academy of Fine Arts: We must adhere to the principles of moral education, take root in the life of the times, follow the characteristics of aesthetic education and promote the spirit of Chinese aesthetic education, so as to provide a healthy environment for the young generations to grow up in both body and mind, which are inherent conditions of aesthetic education. The adherence to the idea of morality establishment and people’s cultivation, the inheritance of Chinese aesthetic education spirit, the theoretical consciousness of the Chinese aesthetic education spirit, the academic high ground, the control of discourse power, the development of aesthetic education curriculum and the general pattern of aesthetic education are the requirements of history and the times as well as the only way for the sustained, healthy and prosperous development of aesthetic education practice.
