What is the function of aesthetics?

Aesthetic cognition function, aesthetic education function and aesthetic pleasure function.

The aesthetic cognitive function of art is the cognition of society, history, life or nature. For example, Zhang Zheduan's "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" specifically describes the city appearance of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty and the living conditions of all social strata, so that viewers can fully understand the society and history of that era.

The aesthetic function of art is embodied in three aspects: emotional people, subtle influence and entertaining. For example, in "Spring of the Cowboy Class" directed by bharathi, a group of boarding children abandoned by their parents again is the goal of the teacher to get them back with music. It is through the appreciation of film and television art that the audience is edified and infected by the truth, goodness and beauty from the heart, and is inspired by thought and subtly educated.

The aesthetic entertainment function of art is mainly manifested in spiritual enjoyment and aesthetic pleasure. For example, Schubert's Sturgeon has a beautiful melody, full of bright and beautiful luster, full of infinite vitality of life, which makes people unforgettable, thus satisfying its aesthetic needs, gaining spiritual enjoyment and aesthetic pleasure, pleasing to the eye and refreshing the soul. ?
