With promotion of aesthetic education in the new era, university aesthetic education ushers in a new historical mission and opportunity of development. Community aesthetic education in universities is a way of aesthetic education that relies on aesthetic and cultural activities connecting the university and community. It is an important form of extended school aesthetic education and an important means of synergy supporting of community governance. Based on the dynamic changes in the social context of university aesthetic education in the new era, we analyze the four value orientations of university-community cooperation: disciplinary integration, emotional balance, intellectual empowerment and artistic immersion. We also explain the development path of aesthetic education in terms of resource consolidation, top-level scheme and game design, providing main directions and intellectual support for doctrinal evolution and conceptual change of aesthetic education in universities.
