Features: Pre-Qin aesthetic thought is the source of the main current in Chinese aesthetics. From the "holding stone knife" in the prehistoric mythological era to the fish-face patterned painted pottery pots, the colorful bronze wares, the naive yet mysterious oracle bone script, and the profound thinkers of the Pre-Qin period who benefited later generations with their deep thoughts and exceptional insights—all embody the aesthetic atmosphere of that specific Pre-Qin era, reflecting the ancient people's pursuit and contemplation of beauty. This academically brilliant monograph aims to trace the real trajectory of the brewing, accumulation, germination, convergence, flourishing, development, and peak of this aesthetic thought river. With a serious and dedicated academic attitude, the author spent several years revising the manuscript multiple times. It is a powerful work on the study of era-specific aesthetic thought, following the "Tang Dynasty Aesthetic Trends" and "Song Dynasty Aesthetic Trends."
