Jiang Xun said: Zhu Guangqian is an aesthetician I admire.
Zhu Ziqing said: He spread hope in every heart, making you believe that you can do more than you think you can do.
Yu Guangzhong said: The current younger generation may not go to Zhu Guangqian's books to read, and I suggest that they read them.
First, what is beauty, the connection between beauty and art is inseparable, art comes from life, but it is also higher than our ordinary life.
Yu Ah Shan asked me to recommend her a book: to have a foundation ~ to be about beauty ~ to be able to quickly achieve ~ aesthetics books. I knew that she was a standard science student, and she had never been too interested in liberal arts books, and according to her words, my time was not enough to raise mice. Recently, however, she seems to have suddenly changed the direction of the experiment.
It turned out that the overall literary quality of her future in-laws was not generally high (a family of three, all of them were high-achieving students of the Chinese department, and the situation was made up by themselves), and the idle family sat on the opposite side, simply saying that the text was discussed, and she did not say that she interjected or understood that there was a little difficulty. As a result, she has always refused to accept defeat in her studies, and she has the tenacity to vow to make up for the lack of this aspect.
Although I thought it was funny, I always had only one part to look up to for the idea of xueba. Therefore, without hesitation, he recommended Zhu Guangqian's "Quiet Appreciation" to her.
Not to mention, Zhu Guangqian's various in-depth and simple studies and interpretations of beauty, the 67 Chinese and foreign famous paintings included in the book "Quiet Appreciation" alone, are very pleasing enough. If you have the heart to Baidu the ancient and modern context of the past and present lives of famous paintings, then the idea of opening up art creation and art appreciation is certain, after all, the concept of art and culture has always been the same.
I have to say that the ancient paintings of "Quiet Appreciation" are antique and full of charm, and the quality and arrangement are even more exquisite. Many times, the text is the background of the painting, the painting is the visual manifestation of the text, and the medium of Zhu Guangqian's writing allows the ancient and modern masters to cross the hearts of time and space, communicate and integrate in a classic painting, complementing each other.
Zhu Guangqian's writing, fresh and fluent, the experience of studying abroad, so that his vision and vision, is not limited to the times and a corner of the World and China, but across the mountains and rivers and oceans, across the 2000 years of aesthetic life inheritance, the combination of artistic beauty and life beauty: the aesthetic attitude falls into all aspects of life, enhance aesthetics and life, so as to perfect the attitude of life.
Second, "beauty is" has a soul, when appreciating "beauty", it is like communicating with a living body, can feel the artistic charm that transcends the times, races, and languages, and makes people immersed, and the viewer will like everything around them, including themselves, because of this "beauty".
In "Quiet Appreciation", Zhu Guangqian uses the casual and comfortable context of chatting with friends to tell how to appreciate beauty? "Wind on the water, natural patterns" This is the ultimate beauty, and its aesthetics of the ultra-distant era shine with magnificent sparks of thought in the simplicity embellished by The Grace.
"The beauty of harmony and I am the passion of life and the warmth of life, it is everywhere, but no one pays attention, and I have inadvertently discovered something." The problem of beauty is that it is subjective value on the one hand, and objective facts on the other hand. ”
Zhu Guangli's article "Our Attitude towards an Ancient Pine---- Practical, Scientific, and Aesthetic", believes that there are aesthetic eyes to see "beauty", and pure beauty comes from "intuition", aesthetic experience is the intuition of the image, and beauty is the characteristic of things when presenting images and intuitions.
Truth, goodness and beauty are all values set by people, not the inherent characteristics of things. Apart from man's point of view, things are indistinguishable, and good and evil, truth and falsehood, beauty and ugliness are meaningless. Truth, goodness and beauty all contain a number of subjective components. Truth, goodness and beauty, all three can be regarded as a complete person. Therefore, what makes it easy for people to have other animals is that there are more noble aspirations than eating men and women, and beauty is one of them.
The French painter Dracova said: "Nature is only a dictionary and not a book." "Although everyone has a dictionary at hand, the use of the words in this dictionary to make poetry is based on each person's taste and talent.
I especially like his "Authority Fan, Bystander Qing- The Distance Between Art and Time and Life": novel places are more beautiful than familiar places. People are often dissatisfied with their own situation and envy the situation of others. Therefore, as the saying goes, "home flowers are no more fragrant than wild flowers", people's attitudes towards the present and the past have the same difference, which was originally a very sour and bitter encounter, and later often became a very sweet memory. There is a distance between beauty and actual life, and to see the beauty of things themselves, we need to put them at an appropriate distance to see.
We read Li Changji's "Changqing Huaimao Mausoleum, Green Grass Hanging Stone Well." Play the piano to see Wenjun, and the spring wind blows sideburns. A few poems, I think it is a beautiful painting, but in the eyes of people at that time, Zhuo Wenjun's loss of discipline was a dirty and ugly deed. ...... The behavior of these characters cannot be drawn from the trap of extremely complex social beliefs and concepts of interest, and appreciated as beautiful imagery. After the passage of time, we are not bound by the actual problems of the time, so we can talk about them as interesting stories. It was too close to the actual life at that time, and now it is far away from the actual life, just like the old wine after some years, losing its original spiciness, leaving only a pure taste.
On the one hand, art must be able to liberate people from the shackles of actual life, on the other hand, it must also enable people to understand and appreciate, "distance" is not enough, it is easy to make people return to the practical world, the distance is too far, and it is easy for people to understand and appreciate art
However, if art truly achieves the realm of miaoxiao life and nature, it will inevitably lead the viewer back to the actual life, so that his attention will shift to various unrelated aesthetic problems, and he will not be able to concentrate on appreciating the beauty of the image itself
"Quiet Appreciation" Zhu Guangqian uses words to construct aesthetics, rarely write his own subjective feelings, he seems to stand on a high place and look down on the surrounding endless time and space, and then, quietly with wonderful and refined wisdom words, using documentary style, objectively describe the various "beautiful" scenes of the objective world in his eyes.
The rest is left to the reader to experience and understand for himself.
Watching "Quiet Appreciation", you can't ask for speed, but you need to slow down, and your heart and eyes are silent at the same time, in order to truly appreciate the breadth and depth of the words behind the words.
"The long past was just a dark sky, so we can still recognize this dark sky, thanks to the stars scattered by thinkers and artists. Friends, let us cherish these few points of starlight! Let us also try to radiate a few stars to illuminate the future that is as dark as before. ”
Beauty is everywhere. Understanding is more important than love.
