Chinese Teaching from the Aesthetic Perspective: Issues, Pathways, and Prospects

Abstract

As a source of aesthetic education in the new era, the Chinese language subject is profoundly related to art education, personality cultivation and emotional cultivation, and is of great significance to the realisation of the goal of cultivating morality. This study is a qualitative research that will analyse the problems of aesthetic education existing in Chinese language teaching in the new era from the connotation of aesthetic education in the new era. A representative poem, a travelogue and a biography are used as case studies. Based on the disciplinary characteristics of Chinese teaching, we will try to explore the implementation path to solve the problems of aesthetic education through cross-disciplinary learning. In this study, instructors attempted to break through the boundaries between the Chinese language curriculum teaching and the arts curriculum teaching, to enhance the synthesis of subject knowledge, and to guide learners to enjoy the beauty of the pictures described in the text. Ultimately, this study is expected to provide valuable insights and potential solutions for integrating aesthetic education in the Chinese language curriculum in the new era, providing guidance for educators and policy makers.
