Cultural Landscape of Industrial Heritage: Aesthetic Literacy Education of the Spatial Production Thought

De Lan, Peera Phanlukthao

Abstract


As China’s economy and culture become increasingly globalized and open to exchange, students’ aesthetic views have revealed potential danger signals during the evolution of civilization, sometimes manifesting as deliberate neglect and challenge to righteous culture. This study focuses on the issues faced by contemporary aesthetic education for students, particularly the oversight by teachers during lesson preparation in identifying learning materials that are both engaging for students and have experiential educational value. Based on the immersive learning characteristics of intuitive experiential education, the study employs an exploratory case study method, utilizing the industrial heritage cultural landscape of Fanshan Town in Anhui, China, as a tool and resource for students’ aesthetic education. It constructs a knowledge system of alum culture landscape aesthetic literacy, grounded in the thought of “Harmony between Man and Nature”, centered on the elements of contemporary students’ aesthetic literacy. The findings indicate that the cultural landscape of the alum industrial heritage situates the construction of the aesthetic literacy knowledge system within a broader and more credible temporal and spatial context. This provides high-quality learning materials for the experiential teaching process, helping students draw lessons from historical reflection and enrich their aesthetic cultural literacy.
