Features: Aesthetics attempts to explain various aesthetic phenomena, transforming people's spontaneous pursuit of beauty into a conscious one. This is an extremely challenging task because mere understanding cannot grasp beauty. The universality and complexity of the research subject determine that aesthetics is a discipline that is not easily mastered and is somewhat mystical, especially since it is still in the process of being developed. It can be said that the fundamental purpose of aesthetics lies in guiding people into a "paradise" – pursuing the poetic realm of life and achieving harmonious and complete personality; but its internal structure is a "hell" – here the caves are deep, the paths are rugged, and the atmosphere is even dry.
