邱紫华同志的《东方美学史》,是一部写作难度极大而又填补了学术空白之作。所谓难度极大,其因有三:一、在我国的学术发展史上,东方美学的研究,还是一片未开垦的处女地。大家知道,由于历史的原因,一个多世纪以来,我们的目光一直注视着西方,力图通过尽快学习西方,以逐步缩小我国? Comrade Qiu Zihua’s “History of Oriental Aesthetics” is a great writing difficulty that has filled the academic gap. The so-called extremely difficult because of three reasons: First, in the history of academic development in our country, the study of Oriental aesthetics, or a virgin land uncultivated. We all know that for historical reasons, our eyes have been watching the West for more than a century and we are trying to gradually narrow our country by learning from the west as soon as possible.
