Features: Cai Yuanpei's educational philosophy aimed to make artworks accessible to everyone. In the old China, plagued by internal and external crises, this vision could not be realized. However, it inspired generations of dedicated individuals to strive tirelessly for its achievement. After the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening-up, the material and social conditions for promoting art education among the masses have been established. The importance of art education has been recognized by governments and educational institutions at all levels, which regard it as a key component of quality-oriented education. Art education plays a crucial role in developing human intelligence and potential, cultivating moral character, and enhancing overall competence, and this has become an increasingly shared understanding in society. Currently, in school education, primary and secondary schools have added more hours to their existing art classes, high schools have introduced art appreciation courses, and many universities with the necessary resources have offered elective courses in art. Beyond the campus, in recent years, with the substantial improvement in people's living standards, the demand for enriching spiritual life has grown increasingly urgent, naturally including the growing need for art among the masses. In response to the demands of the times, promoting the popularization of art education and raising people's artistic literacy is the purpose behind the compilation and publication of this book. This is a large-scale publishing project to comprehensively and systematically preserve the world's cultural heritage. The end of the 20th century marked a period in the 10,000-year history of human civilization. At the threshold of the 21st century, everyone must obtain a "visa" to enter the new era. The basic qualification is to possess high quality, and aesthetic literacy is indispensable. For the Chinese people, who constitute the largest population in the world, it is particularly unforgivable to be ignorant of their own nation's artistic heritage.
