Features: The Psychology of the Audience is a "experiential argumentation-based" work that uses a vast amount of experiential insights from ancient and modern times, both within and outside China, to argue for the existence of this discipline, giving it structure, perspective, and examples. The biggest "experiment" in this book is a comprehensive survey of the records left by artists from various countries and cultures regarding audience psychology. Finding psychological foundations for artistic expression means that once these foundations are identified, artistic expression will also achieve aesthetic self-awareness. While the theoretical framework of this book can still be debated, its artistic sensibility is entirely trustworthy.
