What is the core of aesthetic activities?

The core of aesthetic activity is aesthetic experience, and the core concept of China's traditional aesthetics is image.

1. The main function of art is aesthetics. Images and artistic conception are virtual and beautiful in nature. The primary function of artistic works with the image world as the core can only be aesthetics, and the construction of artistic images is mainly to convey human aesthetic experience.

2. The multiple functions of art must be realized indirectly through aesthetic functions. It is believed that the core of art is the image world, and all kinds of non-aesthetic factors of art cannot exist in the works alone, but can only be reflected in the image system. Without images, these factors are no longer an organic part of art, and the diversified functions of art are indirectly realized through these non-aesthetic factors in the process of art appreciation.
