lower level to the higher level,from the simple to the complex,and from the unilateral to the complete.In other words,people’s thinking always conform to the logic process of “Why+What+How”.Thus,this

explains “why” the author has chosen to study this subject from four aspects.First,it explains the research background and meaning of this study;second,it offers a literature review on the relevant studies both at home and abroad;third,it gives an introduction of the research ideas and methods in this thesis;fourth,it makes a summary of the key and difficult points,and the innovation of this study.Second,analyzing the foundation of this study.Chapter One mainly expounds on the two key terms in this thesis,namely “aesthetic education” and “ideological and political education”,and explains how the former promotes the latter to realize its value.In other words,by examining the connotations of the two key terms,analyzing their interrelations and exploring their value,Chapter One mainly

influence the development of the educated,and so on.Then,the chapter examines the problems from four aspects,namely the teachers,contents,teaching methods,and environment of ideological and political education.Finally,Chapter Two makes a pertinent analysis of the causes of those problems.Fourth,putting forward the countermeasures.Chapter Three focuses on the problem of “how”,that is,how to use aesthetic education to promote the achievement of the purpose of ideological and political education in colleges and universities,and examines this problem mainly from the aspects of basic focus and main approaches.As to basic focus,the thesis discusses how aesthetic education can find the most fundamental and effective methods and evidence in college students’ ideological and political education,then puts forward and analyzes four principles in the sequence of their importance.Next,Chapter Three combines the problems and causes discussed in Chapter Two and summarizes the major approaches to using aesthetic education to promote the achievement of the purpose of ideological and political education in colleges and universities.
