Abstract
  • Aesthetic education is a crucial way to guide individuals in society to discover beauty, perceive beauty, express beauty, and create beauty. It is an integral part of China's education policy. The development of aesthetic education reflects the evolution of national policies and the rich academic research results. To gain a deeper understanding of the development trend of aesthetic and art education in China, the researchers conducted a series of studies in Laibin City, Guangxi Province. They detailedly analysed the city's aesthetic and art education, including its historical development and main content. This paper reveals the overall development and changes in aesthetic education in China and the development level in Laibin City schools through a detailed analysis of aesthetic education in Laibin City, Guangxi. The research results show the specific implementation of aesthetic education in local education and provide new research perspectives and ideas for the development history of art education in Laibin City, Guangxi.
