Wu Guanzhong said: "Today, there are not many illiterates in China, but there is a lot of beauty blindness." Every time I come home to see relatives and friends of those big red and green furniture, I have a headache, no wonder there are always those parents do not let parents to decorate the joke. Now many people are poor, poor is not material, nor culture, but aesthetic. Most of China's aesthetics is far from keeping pace with the development of economic. The Chinese people like pragmatism, and they like to ask, "what's the use of this thing", "what's the use of learning this?" there's no proper aesthetic. Life reveals the most pragmatic and vulgar side, more and more pursuit of pragmatism behind, life is more boring, more and more withered. Wood heart said: "without aesthetic power is a terminal disease, knowledge can not be saved." Illiteracy is not terrible, but beauty blindness is terrible.
A few days ago, the 27th China Golden Chicken hundred Flower Film poster and Golden Horse Award poster a contrast picture was topped by a hot search.
There is no harm without comparison.
Then take a look at the background board of the award scene, the damage may be greater.
Are you sure the above one is not the scene of the township entrepreneur recognition conference?
It is reported that the 2018 Golden Horse Award poster by the designer Fang preface, in order to face the film, everyone is the angle of supporting actors, the four faces from Lee, Hou Xiaoxian, Gong Li, Ono, composed of the mountain peaks of light and shadow.
Before that, the 53rd Golden Horse Award main visual poster was created by Huang Hai, a famous poster designer.
Selected the idea of "Guling Street Youth incident", which won the best film of Golden Horse Award, poster central is the figure of 14-year-old hero Zhang Zhen taking a flashlight into the dark.
Wood heart said: "without aesthetic power is a terminal disease, knowledge can not be saved."
The same two pots of cat food, the cat only eat the good-looking bowl of food.
Pragmatism is ruining the Chinese aesthetic
A while ago, an article, after reading the newly renovated house, wanted to run away from home, became popular in Time line.
Internet friends complain that their parents decorate the aesthetic of house, can only use four words to describe "can't bear to look directly at".
For our fathers, who had lived in less developed material civilizations, pragmatism was more important.
They think that food is used to eat, the purpose of the plate is to pack dishes, practical, do not miss or sprinkle. A few yuan plates in the supermarket are the best value for money.
House can live, had better get a big mahogany sofa, summer is not hot, winter put a mat can sit.
The excessive pursuit of pragmatism is the case, straight to the goal, all the process of decoration and aesthetic significance to them.
Jiang Xun, an aesthetician, once said, "the basic rule of aesthetics-the useless is beauty."
As early as 10,000 years ago, at the end of the Stone Age, the stone axe was made into a jade axe, commemorating the civilization of the past with a better texture and finer workmanship. "Art" is separated from "practical", and "Beauty" comes into being.
In a modern era of unprecedented material abundance and no lack of anything, possession of matter is difficult to stimulate our senses and give us long-term satisfaction.
And aesthetic power has gradually developed into the needs of the new era of the ability. We need to live in beautiful homes, wear beautiful clothes, eat beautiful food, and infiltrate beauty into the details of life.
Aesthetic power is the core competence of a person.
Weibo has a group of images, from Dunhuang Academy Yulin Grottoes commentator Xu Xin.
The main content of the picture is a comparison of the Buddha statues of the grottoes in Anyue County, Sichuan Province, before and after the restoration.
Before the restoration of Buddha, the expression of compassion and serenity, the overall shape of the Tang Dynasty and the beautiful Song Dynasty. The statues of Buddha are solemn and solemn, imitating the human body and the supernatural beauty of the five senses grown from the stone.
After being mended the Buddha statue, the color is very strange, has lost the engraving line flow, the huge stone material thick and the hard texture, the supernatural aesthetic feeling vanishes.
There was also a very high artistic value of the Southern Song Dynasty, a very high-value portrait of a smile, also did not escape:
The patched look lost all the value of the cultural relic. Compassion in religious art, the beauty of modesty from Buddha statues has been destroyed.
Authorities say believers spontaneously raised money to repair Buddha statues in 1994 and 2015. Those who believe in patching Buddha statues also want to preserve cultural relics in the first place. They are not intended to destroy them.
They have the money, the will, the enthusiasm to repair cultural relics, but only the lack of aesthetic art.
Too many people's aesthetic, still stay in "red, green, how happy", "golden is good."
Mr. Wu Guanzhong said: "Today, there are not many illiterates in China, but there is a lot of beauty blindness."
In his essay, Mr. Ji Xianlin once pointed out at once that:
"our nation is a practical nation."
Because pay attention to the reality, the art teacher of primary school, music teacher is most often "be replaced by class";
Because pay attention to the reality, too many parents think: the girl who likes to dress up must have poor grades, love painting is not doing business;
Because pay attention to the reality, spend money to take the child to the museum, art exhibition, it is better to buy two catties of meat for the child.
Due to the emphasis on practicality and lack of aesthetic education, we are quietly turning our next generation into a completely "aesthetic blind".
Professor Jilin University also delivered such a speech at the 2018 graduation ceremony:
"look at our campus, many male students in a pair of shorts, hairy legs, a pair of slippers, dressed in solemn graduation dress around the campus. Do you think it's beautiful?
Today, walking anywhere in the world, judging whether a person is Chinese or not, is basically clothing and behavior.
Compared with other Asians, Chinese clothing matches such as pants, shoes and hats, shoes and socks are basically not in line with each other, and you can see from a distance that they are Chinese. "
Our traditional Chinese culture has profound heritage and foundation, and it is worth learning and inheriting.
Chinese aesthetics reached its peak in the Song Dynasty, known as the Renaissance in Chinese history.
Zhang Yanyuan in the famous "famous paintings of the past," said "trees and plants perfunctory, do not wait for Dan green and pick." Cloud snow flutters, does not wait for lead powder and white, mountain does not wait empty green and emerald wind does not wait for five colors and quintessence. The color art of painting in a single ink color has been over a thousand years ago in Europe.
Song porcelain is closer to the philosophical aesthetic temperament, called the peak of porcelain art, the world is still imitating Song porcelain.
Fan Kuan is known as the first person in the millennium. The snowscape is magnificent. It leaves the sky in the upper and the ground in the ground. It is obvious from the hidden, the virtual and the real, and the artistic conception is far-reaching.
But now, the numbness to beauty, the pursuit of practicality, the lack of aesthetic education make us lose the aesthetic ability gradually.
Now many people are poor, often poor is not material, but spirit.
Without aesthetic power, life reveals the most pragmatic and vulgar side, more and more pursuit of pragmatism behind, is more and more mediocre, more and more withered.
Aesthetics is a kind of historical accumulation, the premise is the continuity of a country's history and culture. To the individual, aesthetic is a kind of quality and accomplishment.
The aesthetician Chiang Hoon once said:
"A person's aesthetic level determines his level of competitiveness. Because aesthetics not only represents the overall thinking, but also represents the detailed thinking. The best gift for a child is to cultivate his aesthetic power. "
Aesthetic power, in fact, is a person's core competitiveness.
Beauty can awaken our respect for life
I believe everyone has heard the story of beggars and roses:
A little girl who sells flowers gave a rose to the beggar. When the beggar got home, he found a bottle to fill the water and put the rose in.
He suddenly felt that such beautiful flowers could not be inserted in such a dirty bottle at will, so he decided to wash the bottle so that it would be worthy of such a beautiful rose!
After all this work, he sat beside him admiring the beautiful roses, and suddenly he felt so beautiful how could he put them in such a cluttered room?
So he made a decision to clean the whole room, put all the things in order, and clear all the garbage out of the room.
All of a sudden, the whole room was warmed up by the reflection of the rose.
Then he seemed to forget where he was, and when he was intoxicated, he suddenly found a shaggy, untrimmed, ragged young man reflected in the mirror, and he had no idea that he was like this. What kind of person has the right to stay in such a room with roses?
So he immediately went to wash the only thing he had done in a few years, the first time he took a bath, and after that he found a few clothes that seemed a little old, but a little clean, and after shaving, he tidied himself from head to head, and then looked in the mirror. Suddenly found a young and handsome face never seen in the mirror!
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was also very good, why to be a beggar?
This is the first time since he was a beggar to ask himself, his soul in a moment awakened, in fact, I am also very good, and look at everything in the room, and look at this beautiful rose, he immediately made a life of the most important decision!
After looking for a job, he worked hard and became an entrepreneur.
A simple story reflects a simple philosophy:
"Beauty can cleanse the mind, the spirit of the change. It wakes up our respect for our hearts and therefore our lives. "
Because beauty makes me taste the sweetest part of my life.
Aesthetics developed from the philosophical system in Germany in the 18th century. The word Ast, in Latin means sensationology, meaning that our vision, hearing, smell, taste, tactile, and touch have very delicate sensitivities.
So the richness of life and the depth of memory come from aesthetic feelings.
Especially in Europe, the Renaissance has not only brought about rapid progress in art and culture in these countries. Aesthetics is permeated into the daily life every bit.
Eating, people suspected to eat art, the dining environment to the extreme.
Home gardening, levels and colors, inadvertently thought into the fairy tale world.
Go to any gift shop, buy anything, get you a nice paper bag and have a good look.
Then bring the beautiful handbag, the paper products are basically like this.
A country with cancer of the face has really done its utmost to pay attention to this matter.
All this is not faked, but naturally infiltrated into people's lives.
You can make breakfast like this.
The balcony became this way.
This is how soft-fitting is changed.
After love, see beauty, people can more clearly see the essence of life, with beauty against worldly roughness.
Food and clothing, beautiful environment can make people radiate their enthusiasm for life, a person focused on the aesthetic process, is to please themselves, nourish the physical and mental process.
Zhang Shiying, an aesthetician, said: "there are four realms of life: seeking realm, seeking knowledge realm, moral realm, aesthetic realm." Aesthetics is the highest realm. "
The so-called aesthetic realm, is to live aesthetic life, is to live beautiful.
Let us live in the present, and regain the aesthetic of life.
Dress well, eat finely, listen to music often;
Every Monday, replace the empty bottle of your desk with a bouquet of flowers;
Every weekend, enjoy the beautiful afternoon tea in the warm sun;
……
Perhaps life is not satisfactory, always full of pressure and pain.
However, we can see beauty in life, create beauty, nourish ordinary time with small happiness, enjoy life, live a beautiful and poetic life.
