Art is not only a special way for people to play entertainment games in their daily lives, but also an important means for people to communicate emotionally, belonging to the category of entertainment game culture. The essential feature of artistic culture is to create virtual human real life with language. The foundation of art is human language, and effective artistic creation must rely entirely on language. What kind of language form human beings have, there will be what kind of art form. The so-called artistic creation without language can only be regarded as ordinary game creation. On the level of entertainment function, art and ordinary entertainment games have the same important existence value and development value. But after all, there are essential differences between art and ordinary games in cultural form, and there are also obvious differences in social functions of culture, which need serious attention in theory and practice.
What is art and what is the essential difference between art and other human cultures? At present, it seems that no one can give a clear answer. This paper attempts to answer this question from the functional category of human subjective behavior and its cultural composition.
The essence of art is expressed through specific symbolic media, such as painting, poetry, music, dance, novel, drama and so on. Reflect and describe the movement and change process of the relationship between things and their values, and exchange, summarize, influence and train people's feelings, knowledge and will.
Art is a cultural phenomenon created by people in order to better meet their subjective needs and emotional comfort, and the need for imperfect behavior of organs. Art is a special way for people to play entertainment games in their daily lives, and it is also an important means for people to communicate emotionally, belonging to the category of fun games and culture. The essential feature of art and culture is to use language to create virtual human beings in real life. Place is the artistic basis of human language, and the effective means of artistic creation must be sufficient language. What kind of language form human beings have, there will be what kind of art form.
Without language, the so-called artistic creation can only be regarded as a normal creative game. On the level of entertainment function, the entertainment value of art and ordinary games has the same importance and development value. However, after all, there are substantial differences between art and ordinary culture in game form, and there are also obvious differences in the social function of culture, which is necessary to be seriously concerned both in theory and practice.
What is art? What is the difference between art and human nature of other cultures? It seems that no one can give a clear answer. This paper tries to answer this question from the functional field of subjective behavior and the cultural composition created.
However, for all human entertainment and game activities, which can be clearly called art and which can be clearly called non-art? At present, it seems that no one can give a clear answer. However, the problem goes far beyond this. For example, people generally think that painting, an entertainment game, can be called art. However, can all painting activities be called art? There seems to be no doubt that the paintings of old painters can be called art because they are all paintings. It seems that many people don't agree that a random child's graffiti can be called art. Only when the child's "freehand graffiti" reaches a certain level can someone call it art. Then, what level of child's "graffiti" can be called art? This is another difficult question to answer. It is said that a chimpanzee in America can "draw". People give it paper and pens, and it can make many "interesting" "paintings" with interest. If chimpanzee's "painting" is also called art, it seems that many people don't even agree. So, how should we distinguish art from non-art in theory? Or, in theory, what is art and what is the essence of art?
However, for all human entertainment activities and games, which one is called art, and which one is not explicitly called art? No one seems to be able to answer clearly. However, the problem goes far beyond this. For example, painting is an interesting game activity, which people generally think can be called art. However, not all painting activities can be called art? There seems to be no doubt that a painter's paintings can be called art if they are all on the same painting. Can a child's graffiti be called art? It seems that many people disagree.
Only when children's "graffiti" reaches "a certain level" will people call it art. Then, to what extent can a child's "graffiti" level be called art? This is another difficult question to answer. It is said that a chimpanzee in the United States can "draw", and when people give it paper and pens, it can make many "interesting" "paintings" with great interest. If chimpanzee's "painting" is also called art, it seems that many people disapprove. So, how should we distinguish between art and non-art in theory? Or, in theory, what is art and what is the essence of art?
