方法是科学研究的灵魂，而自觉的美学方法论意识一方面来自对前代美学家的经验检讨，另一方面则产生于学科的独特对象和性质。故毛泽东说：“科学研究的区分，就是根据科学对象所具有的特殊的矛盾性。因此，对于某现象的领域所特有的某一种矛盾的研究，就构成某一学科的对象。 The method is the soul of scientific research, and the consciousness of conscious aesthetic methodology comes from the experience review of the previous generation of estheticians on the one hand, and the unique object and nature of the discipline on the other hand. Therefore, Mao Zedong said: "The distinction between scientific research is based on the specific contradictions that scientific subjects have, and therefore a certain kind of contradictory research that is specific to the field of a phenomenon constitutes the subject of a subject.
