This is an era of only racing against the clock, and everyone is busy on the trajectory of their own lives. Everyone is busy with life, busy with work, busy with feelings, only to forget to slow down and appreciate the beauty under the veil of busyness.
But there is such a person, he "loves beauty as fate", even at the expense of a lifetime of energy to study and disseminate aesthetics, he is the familiar Mr. Zhu Guangqian.
Zhu Guangqian, a famous chinese aesthetician, literary and art theorist, educator, translator, one of the pioneers and founders of modern aesthetics, he likes the study of literature, psychology and even philosophy, and is better at spreading all affairs about beauty. His books such as "Twelve Letters to Young People", "On Beauty", "On Beauty", "On the History of Western Aesthetics" and other books were published, and they also attracted wide acclaim in the market.
"Quiet Appreciation" is a masterpiece of Mr. Zhu Guangqian's discussion of aesthetics with the majority of readers in the tone of an old friend. In the book, through the fresh and simple words, we can deeply feel the author's beauty of "wind on the water, natural writing". So-called: "A life that does not know how to appreciate cannot be called a real life." "Only those who learn to appreciate beauty can pursue perfection and harmony in the journey of life, and enjoy the warmth of love and being loved."
People appear in this world and survive in this world, all of which are once in a lifetime, and the most important thing is not to live in a mansion, drive a luxury car, and make a lot of money, but to experience the "beauty" of this world.
What is beauty? Mr. Zhu Guangqian believes that beauty is neither a simple material beauty nor an empty mental beauty, but a beauty that complements each other in the relationship between matter and heart; but this relationship is not simply stimulated by things, but is the lyrical beauty of borrowed objects that are felt with the heart and appreciated with love.
This appreciation is not a superficial acquiescence, but a heartfelt recognition. It is a manifestation of personal ability and aesthetic level, a manifestation of personal good qualities and qualities, and a harmonious beauty.
As Mr. Zhu Guangqian said: "The beauty and ugliness of art are not the beauty and ugliness of nature, what are they?" "Maybe some people like the surging atmosphere of the mountain flowing water, but some people may appreciate the tranquility of the small bridge and the flowing water; maybe some people love the bustle of the bustling metropolis, but there are also people who like the human fireworks in the city lane... Therefore, for beauty, everyone has their own different cognitions and ideas, and there is no absolute distinction between ugliness and beauty. Only when we learn to calm down and empathize with others can we empathize with what others think, and then it is possible to exchange others for appreciation of ourselves.
But this is not to let people "flatter" without a bottom line, people often say: "The happiest person in the world is not only the most active person, but also the most appreciative person, the so-called appreciation, that is, to find fun in life." The meaning of this sentence is to say: Man, movement is a symbol of spirit, that is full of vitality; but at the same time, people must also learn to produce beauty in distance, rather than desperately going forward. After all, some things are still "only viewable from a distance, not closely". For example, in the fog in the mountains, we stand at the bottom of the mountain and look out, maybe it seems to be smokey, it is very beautiful, but if we walk into the mountains, we will have a kind of "do not know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because we are in this mountain" confusion.
Any form of beauty should be based on the ontology of things, with just the right distance, so as to produce a real sense of beauty inside and outside. The aesthetic cognition in everyone's heart is a reflection of personal interests, which is inseparable from people's personality and the environment at that time, which is why we say: the scene blends, the true feeling. Neither of these two can reflect the mark of beauty.
In short, aesthetics seems very mysterious and traceless, but it is really around us. Only when we learn to calm down and use our hearts to appreciate and feel the people and things in front of us can we make our eyes glow, our hearts are sunny, and we will always maintain a beautiful state of mind for everything in the world.
Beauty is a unique emotional house that can meet people's spiritual needs; beauty is a bond of affection that can link you and me who also love beauty. Mr. Zhu Guangqian used his life's experience to tell the world: if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and sometimes, if you go too fast, you will miss a lot of beautiful scenery. In life, the beauty of happiness can be quietly appreciated in addition to striving for it.
Finally, may we all accompany Mr. Zhu Guangqian's footprints to recognize beauty, cultivate our own sense of beauty in the reading of beautiful texts, and forge our own eyes that find beauty.
"Walk slowly and enjoy quietly!" Beautiful.
