I. On the Origin of Art The origin of art is as old as the origin of human culture. Since then, art, as a unique part of culture, has always participated in and promoted the historical development process of human culture, reflecting and reflecting various historical development stages of human culture. As a unique part of culture, art is restricted by the cultural system. As a subsystem of the cultural system, it is only an organic part and a unique social and cultural category. The integrity of the cultural system determines the subsystem it belongs to, and it must be subordinate to and attached to the cultural system. 1, objective spiritualism: that art is the embodiment of "concept" or objective "cosmic spirit". Plato, an ancient Greek philosopher, was an early scholar who explored the essence of art from a philosophical point of view. Plato thinks that the rational world is primary, the perceptual world is secondary and the artistic world is only tertiary. 2. Subjective spiritualism: Art is considered as "the expression of self-consciousness" and "the impulse of life ontology". Kant, the originator of German classical aesthetics, believes that art is purely the genius creation of writers and artists, and this "free art" has nothing to do with any interests and does not involve any purpose. He emphasized that in artistic creation, the imagination and originality of genius make art reach the realm of beauty. Kant's theory of freedom of will became one of the ideological sources of voluntarism later. 3. "Representative Theory" or "Representation Theory": Art is regarded as "imitation" of reality and "representation of social life". Aristotle, an ancient Greek, was the first to clarify the aesthetic concept in an independent system in the history of human thought and became a master of Greek aesthetic thought. He believes that art is an imitation of reality, and this imitation function of art makes art more real than the real world it imitates.
