The Function of Aesthetic Education in Children’s Acquisition of Chinese Characters

Traditional aesthetic education for children neglects the aesthetic function in the acquisition of mother tongue.The structure of Chinese characters has artistic and poetic features,which dovetails with the "law of aesthetics" proposed by Karl Marx(1818-1883).Chinese characters possess quite a few traditional Chinese aesthetic categories,such as simplicity,naturalness,miraculousness,vitality and vigor,which can inspire children’s aesthetic consciousness.Chinese characters also convey moral concepts,which can cultivate children’s moral feelings and inspire their ethical awareness.The writing of Chinese characters is good for cultivation of children’s creative thinking,and the images of Chinese characters can inspire children’s imaginative power.
