Practice of Contemporary Dance Education under the Visual Threshold of Modern Chinese Aesthetic Education—Starting from “Aesthetic Education Brochure”

Abstract

Schiller’s aesthetic thought has always been a link and important presence in the development of German classical aesthetics. He not only critically inherited Kant’s aesthetic thought to discuss beauty with subjective and rational empiricism, but also inspired Schelling, Hegel and other western aesthetic masters to understand beauty; In addition, his thought of “aesthetic education” was founded for the first time when Western aesthetics was in the ascendant. As Chinese esthetician Zhou Xian states in his introduction, “The pursuit of this complete humanity is the most powerful appeal of the Book.” Mr. Schiller uses literary forms and aesthetic thoughts to silently fight against the tyranny and exploitation of feudalism and capitalist society. This strong anti-authoritarian aesthetic criticism of modernity is more interpreted and expected in his 27 letters to the Prince of Denmark. With the idea of “art instead of religion”, he tried to establish a new form of communication based on communication rationality that could be realized in the future aesthetic country, and gradually constructed Schiller’s aesthetic “utopia”. Based on this, it is particularly important to sort out the generation of aesthetic education thought in modern China and peek into the practice of contemporary dance education.
