Abstract: This article re-examines the intellectual connotations of Liang Shuming's aesthetic discourse from the three aspects of emotion， art， and ritual-music， and by referencing to German thought from Romanticism to philosophy of life. Ontologically， emotion and artovercome the inherent deficiencies of modern Western philosophy of rationalism， and grasp the reality of the cosmos as “life” in the unity of subject and object. Aesthetic discourse points to a moral-emotional approach to the meaning of and foundations for human life. It is historically represented as the practice of ritual-onscious sincerity， establishes the sincerity as the political subject that is autonomous， self-conscious and linked to the others， and leading to community solidarity in a nation of disunity. Second， it provides political subjects with abundant energy for action. Third， it implies an ideal of ritual-music that can reconstruct the society on the basis of the concept of ethic and aesthetic human nature， so that the split of the subject and object underlying the modern world crisis may be overcome and a new civilization toward the future may be reconstructed. Liang's theory on and practice of rural reconstruction include an aesthetic dimension， which is structured into his exploration for the liberation of the Chinese nation and the future of the world.
