Aesthetic ideology

The core of Confucius' aesthetic thought is the unity of "beauty" and "goodness", and the unity of form and content. Confucius advocated "poetry teaching", that is, combining literature and art with political morality, and taking literature and art as a means to change social politics and an important way to cultivate sentiment. Confucius believes that a perfect person should cultivate his self-cultivation in three aspects: poetry, ceremony and music. Confucius' aesthetic thought has a great influence on later literary theories.

Confucius clearly put forward famous aesthetic propositions such as "beauty lies in it" and "theory of difference" in the Book of Changes. The boy asked Yi published by People's Publishing House put forward the beauty of Yi school-the beauty of masculinity and the beauty of femininity; The beauty of life; The beauty of freedom; The beauty of neutralization. It is believed that "the beauty of yin and yang, the beauty of life, the beauty of freedom and the beauty of neutralization can be described as schools of aesthetics".
