Aesthetic Perspective of Forest Experience in the Age of Forest Boom

The purpose of this paper is to explore the issues underlying the forest boom, and to provide insights into the forest understanding based on ecological perspective and corresponding practical activities by providing a aesthetic perspective on forest experience. The core of the research content is as follows. Forest experience is an aesthetic experience in which the forest experiencer feels the unique atmosphere of the forest and at the same time senses his or her own being with the body. It can be summarized in three aspects as follows. First, the experience is a multi-sensory experience in which all five senses are simultaneously exerted, which cannot be imitated by any other aesthetic experience. Second, forest experience involves falling into a unique ecstasy, namely a calm ecstasy. Finally, forest experience is an aesthetic experience in which one's “being” is much more keenly felt in front of the silent cry calling for a departure from the anthropocentric view of nature than in the aesthetic experience of other natural phenomena.
