So human being, as its subject, will inevitably integrate into scientific creation some emotional factors such as its own characteristics and fondness, which can also play an active part in scientific creation to some degree.

During scientific creation, scientists must give a truthful and objective introduction of the characteristics of the objective things, which means scientists sometimes should control their personal feelings, consequently, affecting their imagination and creativity. Aesthetic activities, at this time, can be a great help to scientists to bring their imagination and creativity into full play, thus, make them more interested in scientific activities.Therefore, we may well conclude that aesthetic activities, influencing the view on nature and science of scientists, scientific study orientation, and scientific creation means, play an significant role as methodology and epistemology.There are totally five parts in this thesis:firstly, the author gives a brief introduction; secondly, the author respectively explains the meaning and characteristics of aesthetic activities and scientific creation; thirdly, the author illustrates aesthetic activity thinking and scientific creation value; fourthly, the author states the value of the incorporation of aesthetic activities and scientific creation during different periods from the perspective of aesthetic means; the lastly analyzes the activities of the scientific creation of aesthetic value and its limitations.
