Gadamer had developed explanation study into philosophy explanation study, and had a far-reading impact on development of philosophy. Since Gadamer introduces the principle of hermeneutics aesthetics through "Truth and Method", He showed us a comprehensive system to understand his aesthetic understanding and art truths ideal through a series of essays on hermeneutics aesthetics.This article focuses on the experience and analysis of the basic theoretical framework of Gadamer's art truth, and then interprets and Experiences of the basic concepts of Art Understanding. This article also discuss the legitimacy of "prejudice" and " effective history ". Author tries to reflect Gadamer's hermeneutic aesthetics through this aesthetic practice.STANDPOINT OF ART TRUTHS : THE CRITICISM OF AESTHETIC CONSCIOUSNESSGadamer regard to the difference of the truth between scientific understanding and the spirit of scientific understanding as a logical point of art truths. He boycott scientific methods within the scope of modern science, and try to explore the truth of the experience.He inspected the four dominant concepts of the humanist tradition, such as"Cultivation","common sense","sense"and"gout". And he believes that humanist tradition is very important to spirit of science.Aesthetic trend-setters since Kant tend to consider appreciative judgment not their knowledge of object, but private non-objective feeling. In Gadamer's opinion, such an ontology aesthetics sense, in particular, the tendency of Kant's ontology aesthetics is just recognize the legitimacy of natural sciences to understand the truth, but Excluded Humanities. Gadamer reconstructed the theory of art truth by Hermeneutics and stated the truth of art that was regarded as standpoint of art theory through criticism of aesthetic consciousness. Gadamer pointed out that the aesthetic interest by Kant and the aesthetic kingdom by Schiller and the aesthetic perception by Hamann as well as the aesthetic experience by Jauss which took aesthetic consciousness as standpoint of art theory showed limitations of aesthetics to art theory because the truth of art was neglected in them.CLARIFY THE ARGUMENTS OF ART TRUTH:ONTOLOGY OF ARTIt is the subjective aesthetics initiated by Kant that causes enormous crisis to aesthetics, and the major draw back of this theory are overemphasizing the importance of aesthetic subject and the importance of art form but dening the truth in artistic works. By criticizing the subjective aesthetics, Gadamer proposes the ontology of artistic works.Through his reinterpretation of Kant's aesthetics and criticism of aesthetic consciousness, Gadamer reached a conclusion about artistic truth. In his eyes, the truth that we experience in art is not a scientific truth but an existential truth. A truth about life and meaning, it changes our subjects of understanding and influences our view of the whole world.THE BASIC VIEWPOINTS OF ART UNDERSTANDINGGadamer declares that modern science defines the verifiability and repeatability of experience in its methodology, but it takes no account of the inner historicality of experience. According to philosophical hermeneutics, historicality comprises the basic meaning of experience. Reflection on the concept of experience is to be aware of the relationship between experience and history, and to affirm that effective historical consciousness definitely has the structure of experience. By mean of analyzing the features of the finiteness of experience, Gadamer presents the possibility of realizing historical truth in the understanding of history."Fusion of Horizons"was a central concept of Has-Georg Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics. Though it was created late, it had very rich background of the history of thoughts. Systematic tracing back was an effective channel for our further understanding of it. The concept meant the nature of course of understanding in Gadamer's philosophy, and was unlimited process of fusions, between history and now, subject and object, others and ego. The fundmental openness of significant horizons and speciality of pre-understanding endowed"Fusion of Horizons"with fundmental superiority, openness and individuality, which should be viewed as a response of ego-superiority, individuality and pluralism of modernity. So we tried to carry out some elementary inspection on the significance of modernity of the concept in the studying-field of modernity.The framework of Gadamer's Hermeneutic Aesthetics Theory updated that the way of language and thinking of the Contemporary Literary Theory. It constitutes a generalized character in the theory of literature and art, and infiltrate into Cultural fields the broad horizon since the 20th Century. Based on the foregoing reasons, the framework of Gadamer's Hermeneutic Aesthetics Theory is of great value and significance. In the one place, Gadamer's Hermeneutic Aesthetics Idea turns the research of contemporary art into a deeper level of study, such as the art of "indicative analysis", the Interpretation of work "to explain significance", the experiential understanding of the world and ontology of the world. In the other place, the wake up of sense of human in the aesthetic understanding, people not Request the recognition of public, but rather a pluralistic values and the impulse to seek a new significance. People break the attachment of certainty, and pursuit uncertainty or the significance of diversity.
