Features: Aesthetic criticism is an important, independent, and indispensable component of aesthetics. Aesthetics is supported by aesthetic theory, the history of aesthetic development, and aesthetic criticism. Since the early 1950s, universities' Chinese departments and literature programs, as well as art departments and aesthetic programs, have taught aesthetic theory and the history of aesthetic development. However, as an important part of aesthetics, aesthetic criticism has been introduced into our literature and art programs relatively late in the curriculum. Therefore, the construction of the aesthetic criticism course should receive more attention from us. Aesthetic criticism is a highly applied and practical course, and its relationship with aesthetic theory is that of an applied course to a foundational course. Aesthetic theory relies on aesthetic criticism to exert its influence and role, while aesthetic criticism provides theoretical support and practical experience for the development of aesthetic theory. Aesthetic theory gradually forms and crystallizes through aesthetic criticism.
