This book is a wonderful summary of Professor Yi Zhongtian's many years of aesthetic research and writing. In this work, Yi Zhongtian quoted a large number of anthropological materials and elaborated on a basic point of view: Art was created by humans specifically to achieve human confirmation. In art, through the experience and transmission of emotions, people's self-verification and mutual verification between people are realized. This is the "confirmation theory of the essence of art".
This book starts from the perspective of human beings stepping out of nature, and examines a large number of primitive art forms such as crafts, architecture, sculpture, human body decoration, dance, drama, painting, music, poetry, etc. It is not only an important work for understanding the origin and essence of human art, but also a vivid illustration of primitive art.
