Type: article
Abstract: As a national intangible cultural heritage, Zigong colored lanterns play a significant role in cultural inheritance and local economic development due to their long historical context. The integration of Zigong lantern culture into children’s aesthetic education can enrich the content and form of aesthetic education, promote local culture, and build cultural self-confidence; it can also cultivate aesthetic taste and promote children’s personality development. Through the research, it is found that the teachers’ inner motivation and the depth of cultural integration are insufficient in the process of the integration of Zigong lantern culture into children’s aesthetic education. The external capacity of the garden society is not enough, and the real predicament of aesthetic education resources needs to be explored. In order to improve these conditions, the education process of understanding beauty to enlighten children’s cognition, experiencing beauty to enhance children’s experience and sensibility, appreciating beauty to cultivate children’s appreciation, and creating beauty to activate children’s creativity is proposed to promote the development of children’s aesthetic education.
