Abstract
Living aesthetics was understood by most Chinese scholars as a way to bridge the living world and aesthetic activity today. This article discusses contemporary Chinese art from the perspective of the new thinking of living aesthetics. We shall diachronically describe the historical relationship between aesthetics and art and also try to synchronically examine the theory connecting living aesthetics and contemporary Chinese art with each other.
Keywords:
contemporary Chinese art history; daily-living aesthetics; elite living aesthetics; living aesthetics; neo-Chineseness art; political living aesthetics
