When we say "artistic beauty", the word "beauty" has only one meaning, that is, a feature of the appearance of things in intuition.
If things are to be represented by intuition, their appearance and substance must melt into one breath, and their posture must resonate with people's sexual feelings. This kind of "beauty" is created, not born to be free to look at, it is all "lyrical performance".
When we say "natural beauty," the word "beauty" has two meanings.
The first sense of "beauty" is the norm mentioned above, for example, the back is usually straight, and the straight back is better than the hunchback.
The second sense of "beauty" is actually artistic beauty. When we admire a landscape and feel its beauty, we have already shot our emotions into the landscape, in order to humanize and artistic nature. So some people say: "A natural landscape is a state of mind." ”
The mistake of ordinary people is to know only the natural beauty of the first meaning, and to think that the beauty of art and the natural beauty of the second meaning are nothing more than that
The French painter Delacroix said it best: "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 personal taste and talent.
People who do a good job of poetry cannot be said to be imitating dictionaries, and saying that nature is inherently beautiful is like saying that there are original works such as "Tao Yuanming Collection" and "Dream of the Red Chamber" in the dictionary. This is obviously ridiculous.
