Abstract
This article presents the genealogical continuation of the connotation of the “aesthetic of literature and art”, which began with the aesthetic of literature and art, and then expanded to include cultural aesthetics, natural/ecological aesthetics and finally became art aesthetics. It describes the historical manifestations of each node, highlighting the internal mechanisms of each point. The external forces propelling the continuation of the aesthetic of literature and art lineage are analyzed from various aspects such as the call of the spirit of the times, the enhancement of the education system, the needs of professional teaching and talent cultivation, the inspiration from the mutual exchange of Chinese and Western cultures, and the pursuit of localization. The intrinsic factors sustaining the continuation of the aesthetic of literature and art lineage are revealed through arguments on its origins, the forms of transformation, historical carriers, core forces, and internal essence. Finally, positive expectations are expressed for the broad prospects of the continuation of the aesthetic of literature and art lineage.
