The Idea of “Aesthetic Education Replacing Religion” on Religious Views Administered among College Students in Contemporary Education by Cai Yuanpei

越来越多的大学生受到宗教文化热潮的影响,对宗教呈现出强烈的好奇心,又缺乏宗教教育的正面引导,没有真正领悟到宗教所包含的超越性和奉献精神,在宗教信仰上理性不足,仅当成是心理需要时的一剂安慰剂。蔡元培先生所提出的"以美育代宗教"是对审美、信仰价值追求和文化内涵的建构,以美育代替宗教对大学生开展理想境界教育,培养健康的情感意识,为他们寻求终极关怀,并获求实体观念,以此帮助他们建构一种有效的信仰机制和意义架构。

Under the influence of religious culture, a growing number of college students present a strong curiosity. But being lack of positive guidance of religious education, they didn＇ t really understand the religious transcendence and dedication spirit and were lack of rationality on the religious beliefs, only taking it as a placebo for psychological need. Mr. Cai Yuanpei put forward the ＂aesthetic education for religion＂ in pursuit of the belief in aesthetic value and cultural connotation construction, replaced the religion with aesthetic education for college students to carry out the ideal education, cultivate healthy emotional awareness, as they seek ultimate care, and strive for the entity concept, to help them to establish an effective belief mechanism and sianificance construction.
