Features: In this issue of Marxist Aesthetics Research, we have focused on compiling a set of theoretical articles on the relationship between art (aesthetics) and ideology. The "Controversy over Aesthetic Ideology" is a crucial theoretical discussion that involves the study of various issues in Marxist aesthetics, particularly concerning the fundamental problems of Chinese Marxist aesthetics. This discussion reflects the influence and importance of Marxist aesthetic issues in contemporary society. We hope this group of articles will attract attention from the academic community, and we welcome further research and discussion. The article argues that viewing human beings from the perspective of human commonality and shared problems helps to recognize that the general function of art is aesthetics. Once the aesthetic characteristics of literature are observed and understood within the framework of social structure, they become part of social ideology.
