Features: Aesthetics is a discipline closely related to real life, and beauty is one of the most frequently used concepts in daily life. With the advancement of technology, the development of material and spiritual civilization in society, and the increasing demand for beauty, aesthetics, once regarded as a "highbrow" philosophical subject, has gradually become more practical in everyday life. Here, the author attempts to answer the question of what the use of aesthetics is. The author believes that the utility of aesthetics can be summarized as: beautifying people's lives, elevating human, and promoting harmonious development between humans and nature. After more than twenty years of engaging in aesthetic research, this book condenses the author's reflections on aesthetic issues over the past two decades. Although limited by space, some topics are explained in just a few hundred words or even fewer, while the author has previously written tens of thousands of words on them, including entire books as monographs.
