What is "aesthetic education"?
Aesthetic education, also known as aesthetic education or aesthetic education, is the inevitable result of the development of human civilization and an important aspect of human self-construction. Aesthetic education should be carried out through various arts and beautiful things in natural and social life. Like moral education and intellectual education, it mainly involves people's spiritual life. People in different times have had many discussions about aesthetic education. 18th century, during the German Enlightenment, aestheticians pointed out in the Letters on Aesthetic Education. Cai Yuanpei, who initiated aesthetic education in the history of modern education in China, explained aesthetic education in this way: "Everyone has feelings, but not everyone has great and noble behaviors, which is due to the weak driving force of feelings. It is necessary to cultivate the weak into the strong and the thin into the thick. The tools cultivated by Tao are the objects of beauty; Tao Yang's role is called aesthetic education. " Suhomlinski, a famous contemporary educator in the Soviet Union, put it more clearly: "Beauty is a powerful source of moral purity, spiritual richness and physical fitness. The most important task of aesthetic education is to teach children to see the nobleness, kindness and sincerity of the spirit through the beauty of the surrounding world and the beauty of interpersonal relationships, and to establish their own beautiful qualities on this basis.
