I believe that many people, like Uncle Oxygen, dare to say with confidence after watching "The Wandering Earth 2": "This is indeed the pinnacle of domestic science fiction aesthetics at this stage." ”
The Wandering Earth 2 2023
It is estimated that many people will not forget the first part of a domestic sci-fi blockbuster that briefly opened in 19 years
At that time, the "Wandering Earth" project, which was propelled by tens of thousands of propulsion engines, allowed us to see the very grand sci-fi aesthetic composed with Chinese aesthetics.

This kind of magnificent and breathy beauty is like "Qinyuan Spring. Snow" depicts something like this:
"The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow.
Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only the recklessness, up and down the great river, suddenly lost. ”

Including the "Avatar" series, which opens the door to global 3D movies, it also tells a grand, "non-my race" species aesthetic story.
Avatar: The Way of Water 2022
This kind of aesthetic presentation beyond the scope of human aesthetic cognition relies on an epic complete aesthetic system, so that we can cross the aesthetic barriers of species that are difficult to accept "heterogeneous aesthetics", and then identify + resonate with completely different aesthetics.

Including "The Way of Water", which was hit at the end of 22, it focuses on showing the difference between sea warriors and land warriors, and it is a logical and bizarre beauty.
Tiffany Blue + Sapphire Blue co-wrote this magnificent aesthetic story.

In fact, as early as the Han and Tang Dynasties, our ancestors had already realized the importance of cultural aesthetic portraits with "big" as "beauty".
Northern Song Dynasty "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"
Today, let's talk about aesthetics from a grand perspective.
This angle can help us weaken and ignore many dispensable troubles, and pursue the overall beauty of flaws without concealment.
While the beauty of details is also important, it is only meaningful based on the beauty of details in the grand theme. Ordinary people to shape beauty, pay attention to the overall harmony of priority + benefits will be higher.

Traditional aesthetics: Hong Fang and majestic
The essence of Qin, Han and Tang aesthetics lies in the concept of "how much Hong Fang" + "True Majesty", which simply translates as grand and extravagant + majestic and broad.
There are two manifestations of "big" here.
(1) Extremely important inner greatness
And the big-mindedness, vision, confidence, and courage derived from it are also the cornerstones of everyone's spirit and the spirit of a great country.
"The Legend of the Demon Cat" 2017
Lu Xun wrote in the essay collection "Grave" Looking in the Mirror:
"Imagine how much the Han people bloomed, and the new animals and plants, that is, unrestrained, came to fill the decorative patterns. ... Whoever takes something foreign, as if he had taken him captive, is free to drive and never mind. ”
With the vision of the ancient people, if they saw the Avatar Na Mei, they might only think about how to paint them into the mural.

They can be called the beauty of national colors, and their texture is often the atmospheric beauty born from the heart.
It was a cold light of wisdom that no matter how bright a smile could not hide, the eyes shining, firm and calm. It is completely understandable why this kind of sister beauty representative can defeat the white thin and young aesthetic and become a public lover who represents the peak of the aesthetic of the national man.

(2) The magnitude of the foreign object manifested outside
This refers to those that are large in space, volume, intuitiveness, and appearance.
This clarity, sensory grandeur, stems from many realistic aesthetic images. For example, the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.

Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and the Terracotta Army
Or the Han Dynasty music and dance with a "big" aesthetic.
The dance aims to create a majestic and quaint, naïve and wild world of imagery.
With grand momentum and inner tension, the heavy shape is balanced with the simple gentle beauty, and achieves an aesthetic height that contains great beauty, antiquity and new ingenuity.

and the magnificent scene of the coming dynasties of all nations during the High Tang Dynasty.

This is just like the meteorology of Sheng Tang aesthetics, which is a synthesis of grand momentum + strong emotions + multiple aesthetics.
In this way, it is the beauty of a great country that is true and can affect the year before in the next life.

Another point is that in the era of lack of entertainment, people have more time to think about life, the meaning and value of life.
Therefore, the ancients' exploration of the star universe is also the embodiment of the grand aesthetic yearning from the heart.
Human beings look up at the stars, which is a drop in the ocean, and they try their best to spy on the sea.

"Today's people do not see the moon of ancient times, but this moon once looked like the ancients."
Here also extends the logical core of the story line of "The Wandering Earth 2".
Different from the Western philosophical and aesthetic ideas that yearn for freedom, individual independence, and the attention of individual heroes, the Chinese aesthetic concept is the "big self" tone of gathering firewood and uniting as a city, and the reincarnation inheritance of fools moving mountains must also complete a major event.

It is also the core pillar of "The Wandering Earth 2" to successfully write brilliant with Chinese aesthetics + modern technology.

Individual beauty under a grand view
Appreciating great beauty is key to shaping an individual's complete aesthetic.
After all, the landing point of "great beauty" in the grand view of aesthetics is reflected in the different individual beauty of each person.
The Hong Kong women who are infinitely missed by us, even if they have the blessing of the time filter, they cannot deny that they were in a relatively more inclusive and grandiose period of aesthetics, and everyone had a sense of "I am the style".
The aesthetics of faces + the aesthetics of dressing are very diverse
Hollywood in the same period is the same, even if it is as beautiful as Adjani, it is only one of the beauty symbols of a track + a style.
Wide face, narrow face, thick and light face, that is, each has its own characteristics, each has its own charm.
Instead of desperately trying to lock everyone up in one framework at the moment, gratuitous rolls will only trigger excess comparisons and kill more possibilities.
Therefore, the importance of prioritizing the establishment of aesthetic grandeur is that it can help us put aside anxiety and prioritize our own beauty + aesthetics with limited resources.
Catch the big and let go of the small instead of a blind eye, stick to a little stumbling to the end, and the result is not enough.
If Man Shen had been blindly immersed in the troubles of his "ordinary appearance" at that time, there would not have been a bright and radiant woman in the later stage.
In the later stage, the aura is so strong that it can be simple and can be sealed, and walking the red carpet is also calm and leisurely, as if you are visiting your own back garden.
In this way, the priority of shaping individual beauty is the overall texture atmosphere > all the small bugs that are not so satisfactory.
High-grained details such as slightly enlarged cheekbones, convex mouths, long atriums, thick ankles, etc., can be optimized by style. Otherwise, there would be no such beautiful hardware as Kim Min-hee and Kim Ji-ni, but they can profit from beauty more than many real beauties.
Among the priorities for shaping the overall atmosphere: body shape> overall color perception> actual height> facial details.
This also explains why Kim Min-hee can become the thorn in the hearts of South Korea's top male gods, with no fatal shortcomings in all aspects and a full atmosphere.
(1) Body shape
It contains the comprehensive beauty of body proportion + demeanor, and most of the dynamic beauty + instant static beauty constitutes the overall sense of atmosphere.
Kim Min-hee | A slim and light beauty atmosphere
Or in other words, let others engrave the impression of a beauty who smokes and smokes lungs.
The static moment that makes people glance at 10,000 years is actually the capture of dynamic beauty. This moment often has a story, it is a combination of scene + color + demeanor, and beauty is not the key to victory here.
"Miss" 2016
The simplest beautiful moment is the action.
For example, Jennifer Connery in "Once Upon a Time in America" has made countless men and women realize that the feeling of first love is the same as Ze.
Many memories of heartbeat in the later period may be related to this kind of pure beauty image dynamics.
A straight and upright demeanor is the key to breaking the height constraint and creating a beautiful atmosphere based on the overall proportions. And this beautiful moment that hits the soul is also the prototype of style.

(2) Overall color perception
The comprehensive presentation of skin tone, hair color + wearing color is also the key to creating a sense of atmosphere + shaping the priority of beauty.
For most East Asians, a more youthful state is the impact of natural dark glowing hair + healthy skin type.
Needless to say, Yin Tao's romantic long curly hair back at that time did not have a strong concave girlish feeling, but it reflected girlishness everywhere, sharing a set of beauty structures with Yuen Yongyi in the Hong Kong sister period.
At that time, it was all natural light, non-concave cold, and white skin was beautiful
The creation of color sense also lies in applying the makeup style that suits you to the appropriate scene in a moisturizing and silent way to achieve a 1+1>2 effect.
To give an example of life, when we go on vacation, we can use the beauty of nature to show the pure and natural temperament. The style can be a simple and simple Mori female line, showing a soft and dreamy femininity; It can also be a casual and heroic minimalist, releasing the magnificent atmosphere that comes from the heart.

What is more worthy of following than popular colors is the color that suits your temperament style.

(3) Actual height
The big condition of height is very important and not so important at the same time.
After all, the proportion + dress will save the actual height, and there are also many big beauties whose face + aura does not match their height.
Liu Yuling 157cm
Perhaps it can be said that when personal style + other hardware is not too strong, height is indeed a necessary condition to help stand out + create a sense of atmosphere.
And once you have a strong aura, confidence, and personal style, height becomes the icing on the cake.

(4) Facial details
Facial details are put last because in contrast, when the rest of the whole part is online, the weight of variables such as facial features, scale, morphological detail, etc. is pulled very low.
For example, Jun Ji-hyun, who is beautiful and smooth, basically without makeup, her facial features are probably the most "not worth mentioning" part of her beauty.
Very few people can still run so online
And different facial styles have different priorities when it comes to detail.
The juvenile face can relax the demand for fine lines, the atmospheric face does not have to worry about the high cheekbone mandibular angle, and the feminine face does not have to worry about the long atrium, etc.

Don't use the shortcomings that you can ignore to compare with the long boards that others already stand out, so you will only lose your own style in anxiety.
For most people, knowing the beauty of flaws is already at the forefront of aesthetics.
This is also Uncle Oxygen's emotion after watching the New Year film. Human beings are really small, and those insignificant things will disappear with the wind. Spend the rest of your life trying to feel all the good, and don't let small stumbling blocks get in the way of your bright path to the top.
