A Multi-dimensional Analysis of Classical Chinese Culture as the Finest Form of Aesthetic Expression Among Youth

In recent years, classic Chinese culture has become the finest form of aesthetic expression among youth, one of the mainstream aesthetic forms featuring wide circulation, high recognition and strong guiding influence within youth groups. This cultural phenomenon has taken shape in the contemporary context where the “Two Combinations” provide theoretical guidance, cultural confidence offers solid support, and the building of a culturally strong nation provides strategic backing. It is also driven by internal motivations: the recognition of cultural values awakens young people’s aesthetic awareness of Chinese classical style, the spirit of traditional culture consoles young people and relieves their psychological anxiety, and symbols of social circles help them construct their identity. Based on relevant research on youth aesthetics, this paper puts forward practical implications including actively promoting the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage, continuously strengthening the building of international communication capacity, and further deepening exchanges and mutual learning among world civilizations. It aims to guide young people to safeguard the root and soul of the Chinese nation, cultivate them to become a new force for mainstream aesthetics, and join hands with them to build a garden where all beauties thrive together. In this way, tradition and modernity are integrated, and Chinese culture shines more brilliantly.
