In the context of the 20th century cultural globalization, it has new characteristics, compared to the traditional academic study, to the study of Chinese Aesthetics, which is not only because the aesthetics derived from the western's discipline construction and academic system, but also because of the implantations of the aesthetics'new dimensions and concepts. Therefore, it becomes especially important to digest and benefit from theories of both China and the West and better explore the Chinese Classical Civilization. Recalling to the restructure and development of Chinese Aesthetics, the Western always think that the Ancient China does survive beauty but not study, that is to say, consists Aesthetic Thought but doesn't have Aesthetics System, and lack of the Theoretical Construction; The Aesthetics study of Chinese Contemporary, at the beginning of WangGuowei digesting the western theories to propose the aesthetical concepts, until the later exploration of ZhuGuanQian,ZongBaiHua,LiZeHou etc, can be generally said"Western Aesthetics in China", which applies the Western traditional theory to explain the Chinese Artistic Spirit, or the way of thinking problems just like the western mode of thinking, or whose mainstream is no doubt at least. The aesthetics, as an independent discipline, raised the earliest in the western,then transmitted into china in the context of the times"Western Culture in China", which makes the construction of Chinese Aesthetics cannot get rid of the fence of the Western traditional mode of thinking from the beginning,drawn from discussion about"The essence of beauty"to the Marxism"Practical Aesthetics"and to the presently various factions who tend to make the concept of Chinese Aesthetic definition, system analysis, logic construction in accordance with the theoretical framework of the West. All these are permeated by Western traditional way of thinking - as a starting point to establish the concept of logical inference system. Therefore, in order to establish a "China Forms" Aesthetics, we should change the past study ideas and explore new ways - the final analysis, China's building aesthetics should return to their own way of thinking and expression mechanism, in the specific practice and exploration, may be able to learn from China classical way of thinking, turn the "metaphysical" theory building to the emotional expression of "Poetic, concentric, wisdom, language", grasp the true meaning of the beauty from the sentiment of life and seek the real significant beauty in the harmony between man and nature.The Aesthetic Concept of Each nation have produced, formed and developed with the impact of a certain cultural background, the way of thinking and living, philosophy and perception of the way, and so on various factors, constraints. Chinese Classical Aesthetics rooted in ancient Chinese culture rich and unique soil, and the Chinese traditional culture, from the development of performance that it is a unique cultural system, with its inherent uniqueness of the root causes, thus, the Classical Chinese Cesthetics thinking which blooms from it, also has its unique character, and embodies the Chinese people to understand the unique life, appreciate, understand and expose. First of all, from a sense that the Chinese nation is a "Shang-qing" nation and the Chinese Classical Aesthetics is a "Shang-qing" aesthetics. As early as several years ago, the traditional Chinese philosophy and aesthetics has been produced in a clear, "Shang-qing" consciousness. "Qing" has not only become an important philosophy category, and an important aesthetic areas, a principle of artistic creation and appreciation of the principles and basic Head become a way of life, but also has an extensive and profound impact on all aspects of the lives of ancient China. Secondly, with the guidance of "harmony on the overall awareness", the ancient Chinese percept the external of all things in the way of"wu". "wu", as a savvy beyond sentimental activities, expresses the Chinese people's unique way of life and the existence of the world, and explore the aesthetic sentiment beyond the realm of the inner life, to freedom with the outside world, a harmonious unity. Finally, the concern and exploration of people in ancient China is the value of the existence of life, the pursuit of an ideal perfect realm of life. The ancient Chinese Aesthetic directly bred from the ancient Chinese people in the study, just like the ancient Chinese Aesthetic, make human beings and its value and the realm of life as a central topic. In the Chinese Classical Aesthetics idea, the existence of such poetry of the crystallization of thought is to "you" at the core, which together the scope of such an aesthetic embodiment of the aesthetic meaning and spiritual essence. It can be said,"You" in this context as embodied in the aesthetic essence, represents a response to the ancient Chinese Aesthetic thought and an aesthetic answer to the fundamental life issue. "You" marks a life of the Chinese people understand the poetic, a kind of Chinese people's ideal life and aesthetic realm of survival. It shows that Chinese Aesthetic spirit of the core substance, emphasis that life needs to be art, which is not just a man's spiritual needs met, even more important, more fundamental is that it is a survival mode, a life, and an ideal realm of life, the arts of life is valuable and meaningful life.In a long a period of time, the development of the China's traditional culture and history walks a different path from the Western civilization, which form a unique nature - the evolution of continuity, that is, people and nature, with the days, and culture and the same for the community, which manifested in the process of cultural approach has also affected the overall academic development, and therefore the content of Classical Chinese Aesthetics prominently embodies the East way of thinking, on the wisdom of life, in harmony and respect, advocacy overall in the same, such as the freedom of Shenyou. China in the performance of classical aesthetics from this way of thinking and expression of traditional aesthetics is very different from grand theory, a tight logic constructed by the Western mechanism, and therefore china is rejected by Western academics that "the ancient Chinese has beauty but not study". However, the development of Chinese Aesthetics will have to rely on their own efforts, to explore classical Chinese way of thinking and expression mechanism of the modern sense, and has a great significance to the building of the future development of Chinese Aesthetics.
