Initially, it analyzes the significance and connotations of integrating Chinese excellent traditional culture into aesthetic education courses in preschool education. Subsequently, it interprets the current practical dilemmas faced in this integration. Finally, it proposes practical strategies such as constructing a three-dimensional integration framework, optimizing progressive teaching pathways, improving quality monitoring systems, and strengthening industry-education integration support. Research indicates that adopting a three-dimensional integration logic and a triple progressive mechanism can overcome the current practical dilemmas of integrating Chinese excellent traditional culture into aesthetic education courses in preschool education, facilitating a gradual transition from formal infiltration to value internalization. This, in turn, promotes the enhancement of aesthetic education quality in preschool education and lays a solid foundation for the comprehensive development of young children.
