THE AESTHETICS OF THE SYMBOL AS THE BASIC UNIT OF MODERN CHINESE EDUCATION

Abstract

The modern world, rapidly integrating and expanding the boundaries of the information and communication space, poses the challenge of understanding the cultural traditions of various nations that have preserved their cultural code. In this context, the study of China’s aesthetic culture, with its rich symbolic heritage and unique perception of the world, becomes particularly relevant within the framework of the pedagogical intellectual tradition. The need for effective intercultural dialogue within China’s educational processes highlights the significance of symbols and the deep understanding of the values and beliefs that underlie the Chinese worldview. This article explores the aesthetic cultural tradition of China, the philosophical basis of symbolic thinking. The article examines the conceptual impact of the aesthetic ideas of Confucianism and Taoism, the special place of symbol, intuition, and the harmony of man and nature in the modern Chinese educational model. The purpose of the study is to examine the nature of symbol as a phenomenon that defines the uniqueness of the Chinese aesthetic tradition, and to show its place in the context of modern Chinese education. The results of the study have shown that leadership in many fields of science and culture is possible through an educational model whose basic units are rooted in traditional culture.
