What is the significance of art education?
The well-known "six arts" education in the Western Zhou Dynasty: what is the number of books shot by rites and music; When Confucius taught the Six Classics, he paid the most attention to poetry, ceremony and music, saying that "it is based on poetry, ceremony and music"; Later, Xunzi paid more attention to music education, and also distinguished between "positive tone" and "traitor tone"; The Confucian classic "Book of Rites" includes "Music"-all these historical facts can be seen that from the beginning of China education, art education was promoted to a height similar to moral education because of the unique sacrificial function of music and the saying that "musicians are virtuous". If you think that these things are not officially recognized and are not really taught by official schools, then in the Eastern Han Dynasty, China had the world's earliest specialized literary school-Hongdu School. Although it was the result of the political struggle in the Eastern Han Dynasty in school education, as a central official school, it taught specialized arts such as Ci Fu, calligraphy and painting instead of classics, which undoubtedly had a far-reaching impact on China's education.
