First, establish a correct aesthetic view. Aesthetics is the concentrated expression of aesthetic consciousness, which has the characteristics of the times and nationality. Because people's life situation, practical experience, world outlook and cultural literacy are different, aesthetic standards vary from person to person and have personalized characteristics. Why is the same thing or phenomenon beautiful to some people? The ugliness in the eyes of others lies in the difference in aesthetics. Aesthetics is a basic evaluation orientation of things from the aesthetic point of view: right and wrong, noble and lowly, advanced and backward, beautiful and ugly. Only by establishing a correct aesthetic view can people establish scientific and objective aesthetic standards, develop healthy aesthetic tastes, establish lofty aesthetic ideals, and consciously transform the subjective world and the objective world according to the "law of beauty." Otherwise, there is no distinction between beauty and ugliness, and even ugliness is beauty. The correct aesthetic view is not formed naturally, but obtained by receiving aesthetic education and learning aesthetic theoretical knowledge. The second is to cultivate healthy aesthetic taste. Healthy aesthetic taste is a positive subjective aesthetic emotion and interest gradually formed with the need for beauty as the motivation. Although aesthetic taste is expressed in the form of personal subjective preference, it is not a purely isolated phenomenon, but a certain era. The reflection of national aesthetic requirements, trends and ideals has social and historical content, which not only shows individual differences, particularities and diversity, but also shows social identity, universality and consistency, often with similarities and differences, differences and similarities. In order to flaunt nobility, progressive intellectuals in feudal China often pinned their feelings on pine, bamboo, plum and chrysanthemum. Show the same or similar aesthetic taste. However, Tao Yuanming only loves blooming chrysanthemums, Lu You prefers plum blossoms in jade bone with ice muscles, and Wang Anshi prefers tall and unyielding pine trees, especially elegant bamboo. Personal aesthetic tastes are not exactly the same. Healthy aesthetic taste is not inherent in the aesthetic subject, but needs to be cultivated. Modern researchers attach great importance to aesthetic education to "cultivate feelings" [2] and "develop everyone's emotions to realize their functions" [3]. Liang Qichao said: "The purpose of emotional education is to give full play to the goodness and beauty of emotions and gradually suppress the ugly aspects. If this kind of work is done, it will be a progress of mankind. " [4] people's aesthetic taste is greatly influenced by the surrounding environment, either to develop noble taste or to increase low-level taste. It is also important to create an aesthetic education environment. Thirdly, we should have a certain aesthetic culture. The reconstruction of aesthetic consciousness also includes that the aesthetic subject has certain aesthetic culture. "If you want to enjoy art, you must be an artistic person. "[5] To improve our aesthetic cultivation, we must master basic aesthetic theory knowledge. Fourth, we should form a noble attitude towards life. Arousing people's aesthetic life is the embodiment of the social function of aesthetic education. On the one hand, it explores the inherent in social life. On the other hand, it improves people's artistic life ability in its own unique way, thus improving people's quality of life.
Cultivation of Aesthetic Ability
First, the cultivation of aesthetic ability. Aesthetic ability refers to the ability of aesthetic subject to feel beauty mainly in form and obtain aesthetic feeling by virtue of their own sensory organs. It is the starting point for people to carry out all aesthetic activities, the most initial and basic ability in the whole aesthetic ability, and the premise and foundation for the emergence and development of aesthetic appreciation ability, aesthetic expression ability and creativity. Aesthetic ability is not innate. It is formed and developed by human beings in long-term social practice. Without a keen sense of beauty, it is impossible to get rich and colorful aesthetic feelings. Imagine: reading poetry can't feel the beauty of syllable rhythm, listening to music can't feel the beauty of melody rhythm, and enjoying natural scenery can't feel the beauty of shape, sound, color, light and shadow. Isn't this "not knowing beauty in beauty" and the cultivation of aesthetic ability? The ability to appreciate beauty is the basis of feeling. The ability to distinguish, understand and evaluate beauty. Discrimination is the key to aesthetics. Regardless of beauty and ugliness, it will go to the opposite side of aesthetic education. It is difficult to distinguish, because things in the world are complicated, and beauty and ugliness are often mixed and difficult to distinguish, which needs training and accumulation in practice. Understanding is the core of aesthetics, and it is understanding that people want to truly gain aesthetic feeling. The reason why Zhong Ziqi in ancient China was "Bo Ya's bosom friend" was that he understood its profound meaning through the sound of the piano. Evaluation ability is the comprehensive level of the above ability and the further sublimation of aesthetics. We need to grasp beauty as a whole and know the reasons for it. Third, the cultivation of aesthetic imagination and creativity. The purpose of understanding the world is to actively transform the world. Similarly, people feel and appreciate beauty in order to imagine and create beauty. The creative ability of beauty refers to the ability of people to create artistic beauty and realistic beauty in practice according to the laws of beauty (the laws of diversity and unity, empathy, aesthetic psychological distance and freedom, etc.). Creating beauty is the highest achievement of aesthetic activities and the ultimate goal of aesthetic education. To cultivate the ability to create beauty, we should pay attention to three aspects: first, to cultivate aesthetic ideals, because aesthetic ideals are in the activities of creating beauty. Secondly, we should improve the psychological quality of creating beauty, which requires perception, rationality, emotion and imagination; Third, we should give full play to individual characteristics and innovate ideas. Everyone can give full play to their own characteristics and pursue beauty freely, then the created world will be comprehensive and harmonious. Real life is to create a beautiful world and create its own beauty and perfection at the same time.
All aspects of aesthetic education tasks are closely related. Cultivating the ability to feel beauty is the foundation of aesthetic education, cultivating the ability to appreciate beauty is the development of aesthetic education, and cultivating the ability to imagine beauty and create beauty is the improvement of aesthetic education The ultimate goal of aesthetic education is to rebuild aesthetic consciousness, establish a correct aesthetic view and cultivate healthy aesthetic taste, so as to realize individual aesthetic development and further promote people's all-round development.
