Form one of the core concept of the aesthetics of Western art, and discussion on the problems of form for thousands of years never stopped, until the important aspects of aesthetic research, This paper deals with the theory of artistic form of Susanne. K. Langer who was specialized in symbol aesthetics.Langer’s aesthetic thought in her symbol on the philosophical basis of the philosophy new solutions "to the symbol in the name of questioning art, drawn from the generalsense of art is also a symbol, a symbol of human emotion conclusion, and in the"emotional more systematic and form,"a book" Art is the symbolic form of human emotion to create "aesthetic proposition, and on this basis, the theory of emotional expression, art, fantasy, life forms, etc. to enrich themselves aesthetic theory. In addition, Lange also based on the various fields of modern art creative practice, the integration of modern aesthetics and art theory thinking, given the modern art to create a solid philosophical, aesthetic basis.Lange theory of art forms from the perspective of the development is progressive layers layers of depth, first established the art form of the symbolic form of the argument, the view that symbol aesthetics and development background, symbolic aesthetics to Casey Seoul in the1920s semiotics applied to research in the field of human culture as the start of human nature to make a new definition:"Man is a symbol of animal, in philosophy, Lange does not agree with Cassirer the human world, the whole view of the world as a symbol, but this does not preclude Lange these symbols of aesthetics as the basis of the starting point of their theory and epistemology; In addition, Lange logical form of the introduction of the arts, that the art form and the human emotional form of logically similar, which affirmed the value of art. The division of the symbols, Lange will be the concept of judgment, reasoning, language symbol system organized in accordance with the rules of logical syntax as "inferential form, performance symbol to be seen as a non-inferential symbolic form, non-discursive symbols as the philosophy of semiotics and aesthetics is an important advance. Art symbol is evolved in the non-discursive symbols on the basis of artistic symbols with performance characteristics, is a human emotion shown for appreciation in the form of a visual and audible symbol means, and the unity and integrity, art meant to be rendered directly in the complete form, rather than part of a simple sum.The art form created by Lange First toss out the "Expression" and "form" view, anchored symbolic characteristics of performance art, abstract art in art fantasy to unify the emotions and the shape of the polar opposites. Lange will be divided into the human form of emotional subjective feelings and objective emotional two categories, the actual people’s daily drew a distinction between emotion and performance in the creation of aesthetic emotion, the artist is manifested in the creation of the emotional experience feelings in everyday life, refined and processed, which is a creative process, with imagination to create a "significant form", he is actually an art of abstraction, emotional, in which projection, into pure perceptual appearance, art fantasy, thus becoming the performance of human emotion in symbolic form, the investigation of the plastic arts, music, dance, literature, theater and other art forms, and further demonstrated that the manifestations of the art of illusion, that the basic fantasy art mode of existence.Finally, Lange life forms of thought which runs through the forms of life refers to the basic structure of the model organism, is to abstract out the activities of life, one common trait, which is close to the concept of human emotions, life forms and art forms isomorphism, which solved the art form how to become the key issues of emotional performance, revealing the profound foundation of art forms, but also effectively support the definition of art:All art is created by the performance of human emotions perception of form.
