Abstract：Jiang Kongyang’s New Theory of Aesthetics puts forward the proposition that “Beauty is Cumulative Emergence”. This proposition is of pioneering and innovative significance to the development of contemporary Chinese aesthetics， and still has guiding significance. Jiang Kongyang’s “Beauty is Cumulative Emergence” advocates the theory of beauty generation， opposes the theory of beauty preformation， puts beauty in the aesthetic relationship in practice， and subverts the static theory of aesthetics. Jiang Kongyang’s “Beauty is Cumulative Eemergence” advocates the multi-layered theory of beauty， opposes the single composition of beauty， and deconstructs the invariance of aesthetics. Jiang Kongyang’s “Beauty is Cumulative Emergence” advocates the quantitative change of beauty to qualitative change， opposes the theory of biological evolution of beauty， and disassembles the theory of natural life of aesthetics. This proposition adheres to， enriches and develops the dialectical materialism of aesthetics， and still has practical significance. We should inherit and carry forward Jiang Kongyang’s proposition of “Beauty is Cumulative Emergence”，and in the academic discussion， we should adhere to materialist dialectics， oppose metaphysics， and promote the prosperity and development of contemporary Chinese aesthetics.
