Abstract
This paper explores the significant benefits and challenges associated with integrating aesthetic and cultural education into university curricula within Zhejiang Province, emphasizing its crucial role in developing well-rounded graduates equipped for the complexities of a globalized world. Through a systematic literature review using core databases such as Web of Science (WoS) and ProQuest, a sample of representative studies was analyzed to identify current practices and gaps in aesthetic and cultural education at leading universities. Aesthetic education, which involves engagement with various art forms such as visual arts, music, drama, and literature, enhances creativity and critical thinking skills. Meanwhile, cultural education broadens students' understanding of diverse global traditions and values, fostering empathy and cultural awareness. The paper highlights the often sporadic inclusion of these disciplines within higher education curricula and proposes a novel conceptual framework for their systematic integration. This framework aims to cultivate essential traits such as creativity, empathy, and cultural fluency, which are indispensable in today’s diverse professional environments. By advancing a comprehensive model that aligns educational objectives with the demands of contemporary society, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on educational reform, advocating for a more inclusive, responsive, and holistic approach to university education.
