On the Unique Value and Theoretical Dilemma of Ye Lang's Image Aesthetics
Since its establishment,aesthetics has experienced a process of turning from epistemology to ontology in the West.As a product of the eastward spread of Western learning,aesthetics in China has also experienced a similar turning process,which is em-bodied in the academic contention between post-practical aesthetics and practical aesthetics for more than ten years after the 1990s.Many aesthetic schools existing in contemporary China are the products of this academic contention.Among many aesthetic schools,Ye Lang's image aesthetics is particularly prominent in the aspect of cultural consciousness.This theory is based on Chi-nese aesthetics,while absorbing western modern and contemporary aesthetic thoughts,and constructs a global"modern aesthetic system",which basically realizes the successful evolution from"aesthetics in China"to"Chinese aesthetics".However,due to the contradiction in Ye Lang's understanding of"image",the two core concepts of"image"and"Ganxing"in the theory were mislocat-ed,and the theoretical foundation was shaken.
