There is an obvious phenomenon in Chu Kuang-tsien's aesthetic process: before liberation he mainly based on the epistemology,gradually turned into practical aesthetics after the founding of the PRC.Before liberation,he was influenced by western modern aesthetics and introduced western psychological aesthetics to form espistemological tendency.After the founding of the PRC,especially in the 1950 s aesthetics discussion,he gradually turned to Marxist aesthetics,and formed the aesthetic of spiritual practice.The Marxist view of practice is the key to his turn to practical aesthetics,pursuit of science and truth is the main reason for his aesthetics turn.Chu Kuang-tsien's aesthetics turned was mainly embodied in the essence of beauty,aesthetic feeling theory and art theory and so on.From the perspective of the essence of beauty,he thought beauty was in "heart and the relationship between things",and later thought beauty was "subjective and objective unity".Recognizing that beauty was the product of practice,the nature of beauty is social,he turned from the epistemology of Marxism aesthetics to practical aesthetics,jumped out of the original framework of epistemology.From the perspective of aesthetic feeling theory,he thought aesthetic feeling was the "image of the intuition",the late he thought it was the fun from "Objectification of Human Intrinsic Strength" process.This was a breakthrough on the subjective and objective binary opposition situation,he realized that aesthetic feeling was produced in productive labor.And from the perspective of art theory,he thought art is "imaginative emotion",after he thought it was "the object of productive labor".With the dissolution of subjective understanding in his views,artistic creation returned to the process of practice.In general,the success of Chu Kuang-tsien's aesthetics turn was to promote the development of Chinese contemporary aesthetics,especially the practical aesthetics,but there were certain theoretical limitations.
