20世纪早期中国美育观念的发生与建构

Emergence and Construction of Chinese Aesthetic Education Conception in the Early 20th Century

在20世纪初至30年代间的中国学术语境下,传统与现代的冲突与磨合为美育观念的言说提供了丰富的知识资源,同时先进知识分子渴望救亡图存的迫切愿景则为美育观念的发生与建构带来了现实的功能指向。从总体上看,这一时期的中国美育观念研究主要呈现出以情育为本质、以德育为目的、以艺术教育为手段的“三位一体”结构模式。“三位一体”结构模式的确立推动了美育观念研究的结构化和体系化,并以鲜明的实践品格对整个20世纪乃至当下的美育观念产生了深远影响。回顾20世纪早期中国美育观念的发生与建构,就是探寻这一时期中华传统美育观念的现代转化路径,从而在历史与当代的学理审视中为现实和未来的美育发展提供经验和启示。

In the Chinese academic context in the early 20th century(from the beginning of the 20th century to the 1930s),the cultural conflict and compromise between traditional and modern times provided rich knowledge resources for the Chinese expression of aesthetic education conception.Moreover,the urgent vision of advanced intellectuals longing for national salvation has brought a realistic functional direction for the emergence and construction of aesthetic education conception.On the whole,the conception of Chinese aesthetic education in this period is mainly represented by the structural model of“trinity”,i.e.,taking sentimental education as the essence,moral education as the purpose and art education as the means.This“trinity”model promotes systematization of the conception of aesthetic education,which has a far-reaching impact on the conception of aesthetic education in the whole 20th century and even at present with its distinctive practical character.This paper reviews the conception of Chinese aesthetic education in the early 20th century and explores the modern transformation of Chinese traditional aesthetic knowledge resources,which provides experience and enlightenment for the current and future development of aesthetic education.
