Since the protagonist of psychological aesthetics is the audience, it is necessary to put the audience on an academic level.

In this regard, it is first necessary to overcome the widespread misconception that people have about "audience".

Many people think that they may not understand many things in the world, but they understand the psychology of the audience best. I am an audience, and there are many viewers around, how can I not understand?

Therefore, they will then think that the psychology of the audience is in themselves, the aesthetics of reception is in themselves, and the aesthetics of psychology is in themselves.

This misunderstanding is like believing that any miner understands geophysics and any fisherman understands ocean chemistry.

Since you can't read the "audience" from yourself and your friends, how about expanding the scope and doing audience research?

Audience surveys are obviously very helpful to the study of audience psychology and aesthetics, but the survey itself cannot replace the research conclusions.

Since the late 20th century, many scholars and critics have focused on audience surveys, trying to "retell" the principle with data. However, this kind of "retelling" is very dangerous, because the survey data only tells the box office of the place at that time, and this data is constantly changing, and it is difficult to get a direct understanding of the aesthetics. Even if the scope and technology of the survey are scientifically designed, the results have only sociological and not aesthetic significance.

This is like how the people of Chu State sympathize with Qu Yuan, and they can't judge his literary rank. Therefore, for thousands of years, the majority of people have been rowing dragon boats and eating zongzi around the topic of Qu Yuan, which is mainly a social event, not an aesthetic event.

The more eloquent fact is that no real master in the history of Chinese and foreign theater was as well as pop entertainers and vaudeville in terms of the acceptance of the local audience at that time.

Therefore, the concept of "audience" in audience psychology is not entirely based on the accumulation of quantity. It is a proposition that has to do with quantity, but does not judge by quantity.

Theoretically, the audience is a "normal whole with all kinds of particularities removed" at the first level of research, and this "normal whole" can be divided into the second and third levels of research level.

This brings us to a key question: what is a "normal whole"? What is a "normal audience"?
