① Connection: Aesthetic education, moral education, intellectual education and physical education are all indispensable and important contents of educational activities. They are independent of each other and penetrate each other, which is a dialectical relationship of mutual promotion.

② Difference: The purpose of intellectual education is to impart scientific and cultural knowledge and cultivate people's truth-seeking ability; Aesthetic education directly infects people's inner feelings, mobilizes people's various psychological abilities and makes them move harmoniously, thus subtly shaping people and constantly improving their spiritual realm.
