Abstract
The modern occurrence and development of Chinese traditional aesthetics are limited by the modern transition of the traditional social structure of China,the modernity embarrassment of itself and also the effect of Western aesthetics especially Marxist aesthetics.So,it's very difficult to found a kind of Chinese Aesthetics which adapt to the society and culture of modern China.At the beginning of twentieth century,Wang Guo Wei and Lu Xun laid a foundation of aesthetic subjectivity of Chinese traditional aesthetics and had a great impact to the development of Chinese aesthetics of the neset 100 years later.Their intricate critical attitude to traditional aesthetics was unfastened with the canonizing of Western aesthetics and Marxist aesthetics.However,it was intensified when the tide of anti-modern and anti-tradition of post-modern aesthetics invaded Chinese culture.Based on this,the development of current aesthetics is not simply anti-tradition or returning to tradition but should take into account many interrelated factors.
