This study explores the importance of integrating environmental policies with aesthetic education. It delves deeply into the ecological wisdom embedded in traditional culture to identify its relevance to modern environmental protection. First, it presents the crucial role those environmental policies play in contemporary society and explains the significance of aesthetic education. From a historical perspective, it then examines traditional views of nature and ecological conservation awareness, proposing ways to apply these insights to current environmental practices. Subsequently, the study develops an aesthetic education system grounded in environmental policies, detailing the principles for curriculum design as well as the development and utilization of teaching resources. Finally, it establishes an evaluation and feedback system to ensure educational effectiveness and suggests continuous improvement strategies. Overall, this research provides new perspectives and practical approaches for integrating environmental protection with aesthetic education.
