Abstract
There is no clear system of music psychological aesthetics in ancient China, but a large amount of psychological aesthetics related content is contained in the music aesthetic imagination, music dissemination function, music ideals and other concepts of the pre Qin philosophers. The study focuses on the Confucianism and Taoism in China, analyzing the educational and natural aesthetic tendencies of ancient Chinese music aesthetic psychology. Moreover, based on two aesthetic psychological tendencies, the social dissemination role of ancient Chinese music is analyzed. The study conducted empirical research based on questionnaire surveys to explore the impact of ancient music aesthetic activities on the mental health of college students. The experimental results showed that students' horror psychology (p<0.01), anxiety psychology (p<0.01), and interpersonal sensitivity (p<0.001) were affected by the aesthetic activities of ancient music. At the same time, ancient music aesthetic activities strengthened students' psychological practical literacy (p<0.05) and emotional characteristic literacy (p<0.05). Therefore, the aesthetic of ancient Chinese music has a positive impact on mental health. Wisdom research divides the social dissemination of ancient music into three levels: self dissemination, political dissemination, and human divine dissemination, and sequentially analyzes the functions of music as a medium and as the essence of art.
