Today is the 3007th day of intensive reading jun to accompany you throughout your lifelong growth
Admiring the artwork, many people will think that it is a tasteful performance. Those who usually go to art exhibitions to see paintings and participate in literary and artistic activities are some people who are interested in literature and art. Their lives are generally fun.
There are also some people who don't understand art, and when they look at nude paintings of Western art, they can't help but have desire.
These people do not understand art, have not studied art. They are completely immersed in the real world, too close to matter. This creates a conditioned reflex, that is, when you see something, you will think of something useful.
Everyone certainly has their own opinions and choices about how to live the topic, as long as they think it's right and in line with their values, that's right. However, if you are completely immersed in the world of ignorance, it will greatly reduce the fun of the world that you can feel.
The book introduced today is "If the heart is calm, the first life is good", the author Zhu Guangqian, is a famous aesthetician. It mainly introduces four contents, namely, inner solitude, silent charm, compassion, and regret is consummation.
01
Inner solitude
A person cannot be without the spiritual world, otherwise he will feel empty.
People who have different views on the same thing, who scold at the first word, who pretend to be serious about studying with empty heads, are pathetic.
Mr. Zhu Guangqian likes to visit Houmen Street and is reluctant to visit Beihai. Because the two types of people encountered in these two places are completely different.
Houmen Avenue is more remote, full of wandering skeletons, not too much attention to personal image people, while the customers of beihai, mostly upper-class people, they dress well, look oily and slippery.
The former, more or less of the spiritual world, while the latter is the opposite, so they need some gorgeous clothing to support their façade, at least it looks like a connotation.
When it comes to the spiritual world, we have to mention literary works.
Many people feel that those literary works that will make people cry are good works.
But in fact, making people cry has nothing to do with whether the work itself is good or bad.
Most of the time, this simply shows that the storyline has touched itself and does not reflect the quality of the work itself.
Real writers should create more works that make the audience cry about the work itself, and such works are good works that really touch the reader's heart.
Reading such a good work is a kind of high-quality solitude.
02
Silent charm
Appreciating a work is a process of appreciation and creation.
When you look at it, you will associate it in your head and create the mirror image you think it is. The process of forming a mirror image is the process of creation, and the result of creation is the result of appreciation.
Appreciation of beauty is like falling in love, and when we fall in love with someone, we usually think that the person is perfect and fantasize about an ideal object in our minds.
If life had been fun, life could have been a work of art. In life, look for interesting things to do, play with interesting people, discover those interesting moments, and life will become colorful.
An article is also a work of art. The article is complete, serious, and true, so it is alive.
What can be said can be beautiful, and what cannot be expressed is the beauty of speechlessness.
A painting makes people have a lot of imagination space, plus blank space, there is more imagination space.
Why do people need to imagine? People can't be satisfied in the real world, so people have to paint and express the surreal. What cannot be done in the real world can be satisfied by imagination.
Does it have to be imaginative to appreciate a work? Appreciation doesn't necessarily have associations.
As far as the work is concerned, it does not matter whether the work itself looks good or not, what is important is the line, color, etc.
03
Peace of mind and gratitude
Human nature is to go in the direction of great resistance. One of the differences between humans and animals is that people can change themselves, they can try to get to where they want to go, and do what they want to do.
If a person's willpower is strong, then his resistance is strong. To test human nature is also to look at resistance. In youth, it is the vitality of young people to go in the direction of the greatest resistance.
Some people say that studying art only makes people more emotional and less and less calm.
However, those artists often take several years to carve a work of art.
Mr. Zhu Guangqian said that his calmness was actually tempered in literary works. From this perspective, literature can also make people calm, although it is often considered to be studied in the discipline of reason.
Regarding reading, Sir talked about his views:
For the book you want to read, read it twice. Read it quickly for the first time, quickly understand the gist of the book, and know what the book mainly says.
Read it a second time, write down your point of view, and draw wonderful sentences.
Regarding what books to read, you can seek advice from professionals.
In the end, it depends on what kind of taste you have.
Don't be greedy for reading, just like eating, eating a lot of things at once, easy to indigestion.

All regrets are fulfillment
Humility is self-esteem and ego. Humility is not arrogance, nor is it seeing oneself as the whole world. In the face of injustice, it is something that protects itself. And in the face of the world, it is something that gives you the courage to keep moving forward.
Therefore, modesty is in between, not biased toward either side.
People have two attitudes, one is to be in it, and the other is to stay out of it.
To live life as it is, to feel it, is to be in it. To stay out of the matter is to look at people's behavior and people's language from another perspective.
It is not possible to say which one is good, but people's choices are different. Mr. Zhu Guangqian's attitude tends to stay out of the matter, look at all kinds of people, and see different manifestations of human nature is an interesting thing.
The meaning of poetry is infinite, and translation is a way of expressing poetry. However, translation is also limited. In addition to itself, sometimes there is an extended meaning. This is the charm of poetry, and it is also the reason why poetry can become a classic.
Because of this, people can gain in the process of reading each time, and feel the literary interest from the context of the poem.
Literature in the East and the West often ends differently. In the West, tragedies are often the mainstay, and the final result is generally fragmented. The works of the East often end in a happy ending, where everyone can be reunited.
However, many great works of art are actually tragedies. Tragedy is the focus on the troubles of the present and the reality.
To appreciate the tragedy in a distant place and to create a distance from life is an attitude of staying out of the matter.
Looking at the tragedy from this point of view, you will find that all regrets are complete.
The calm and calm in the heart is the most beautiful scenery of life.
Pay more attention to your spiritual world, you can feel the charm of art and experience the joy of life.
In this way, life is more meaningful.
