Marxist aesthetics begins to show practical orientations in 1920s-40s in China, when Zhou Yang and Mao Zedong discuss the practical values of Marxist aesthetics. Zhou Yang claims in his We Need New Aesthetics that objective art works and subjective aesthetic ability result from social practices. Marxist practical value comes into the sight of Chinese researchers for the first time. Mao Zedong explicates in his On Practice that practice is the start point of logic. He further addresses the specific features of the literature and art from the perspective of Marxist practice, sin his Talks at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art.
