The History and Significance of Aesthetic Education in China
1, aesthetic education practice and aesthetic education consciousness have existed since ancient times. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius, the founder of the Confucian school, separated education from the political life of the country, established an ancient education system, and taught his disciples the "six arts" of ceremony, music, shooting, imperial defense, calligraphy and mathematics, among which music is actually an aesthetic education class in the modern sense.
2. Maybe many friends always think that beauty is higher than rice, oil and salt, and stay away from fireworks. But in fact, China's aesthetics can be summarized in eight words: learning from nature and learning from heart. The so-called heart source means that "heart" is the source of illuminating the world. Because, in essence, beauty is like the sound of wooden fish, which warms the hearts of late sleepers in the heavy Yamashita. It is the afterheat left after living with your heart, which can make you and I feel the earthly life better.
3. As Zhuangzi, a representative of Taoism, said: Beauty means that there is great beauty in heaven and earth without saying anything; Lin Bu, a famous recluse poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, said: Beauty is that the shadow is thin and shallow, and the fragrance floats at dusk; Li Bai, a poet, thinks that "beauty" should be that a fairy gets drunk and crushes white clouds.
4. Therefore, aesthetic education is not only to let you and I understand melody, be good at singing and dancing, but also to summon our noble sentiments. Really open your mind's eyes to discover beauty, know how to cherish life, cherish beauty, help others, be grateful to your parents, love the mountains and rivers of the motherland, love everything in the world, and be different from yourself.
