Where does beauty come from?
How to create beauty in life?
First, understand the "beauty" in Chinese characters
The first half of "Beauty" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is a bit like a sheep, but it is not like a sheep. It is an ornament on people's heads. The second half is "big", which means that "people" spread their hands, but it means high spirits. By comparing the rock paintings in Cangyuan, Yunnan, we can find a picture that is consistent with this glyph. Primitive people thought that the dance performance of tribal leaders or wizards during sacrifice and witchcraft was the most beautiful thing in the world.
Some primitive tribes in the world still retain the custom of this headdress (refer to African tribal decoration). ?
? From the seal script, we can clearly see that the upper part of the word "beauty" has evolved into "sheep" and the lower part is "big", while Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Jie Zi is "beauty: sweetness". From sheep, from big. "Sheep are auspicious, so beauty follows the sheep. The "sheep" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions are fed by six owners. The ancients believed that sheep were auspicious things, and they were mainly sacrificed with sheep. Therefore, sheep are auspicious in ancient books. For example, Oracle Bone Inscriptions and the bronze inscription "Auspicious" are both "auspicious sheep", so beauty follows the sheep. Training sheep with auspicious words is not only vocal training, but also deduction. Sheep look good when they are big, so they are big.
"Beauty" and "goodness" conform to the main definition of beauty;
1 means good taste, color, sound and taste. Such as: beautiful, delicious and beautiful.
2. Excellent quality (refers to talent or good quality). Like virtue.
3. Good deeds: good deeds.
4. Praise: Calling for beauty.
5, like: satisfied.
6. America and America.
7. Aesthetic categories and central issues.
8. I feel beautiful.
9. Beautiful appearance.
10, inner beauty.
1 1, beautiful and artistic.
12, fine and high quality.
Second, what is beauty?
Beauty refers to an essential attribute that objective things can cause people's sense of beauty. Beauty includes two main forms: beauty of life and beauty of art.
The beauty of life is divided into natural beauty and social beauty.
Natural beauty (realistic beauty, artificial beauty of natural things) (beauty of rising sun and sunset, beauty of bright moon and stars, beauty of flowers, trees, birds, birds, fish and insects, etc.). ) is the beauty of natural phenomena and things that have not been artificially created. )
Social beauty (artificial beauty of social things). For example, the beauty of human behavior, gender and social environment. )
Natural beauty is closely related to social beauty, not independent. For example, people's physical beauty is natural beauty, while behavioral beauty and aesthetic beauty belong to social beauty.
02 aesthetic feeling
Aesthetic feeling is the feeling or experience of beauty. Subjective reflection, feeling, appreciation and evaluation of beauty in aesthetic activities. Everyone has different degrees of aesthetic ability, some of which are congenital factors, depending on the individual's perception ability. Others are acquired factors, which are produced and developed in social practice.
03 aesthetics
1 and 1750, German idealist philosopher Baumgarden published Aesthetics, which was the first time that aesthetics became an independent discipline. He pointed out that aesthetics not only refers to "the theory of beautiful art", but also refers to "the art of thinking in a beautiful way".
2. Hegel pointed out that the proper name of aesthetics is "philosophy of art", specifically "philosophy of beauty".
3. Marx believes that human beings create beautiful things according to aesthetic laws. When discussing the essence of art, Marxist aesthetics first emphasizes the dependence of art as a superstructure on the economic base: "People must have food, shelter, drinking and clothing to engage in politics, science, art, religion and so on."
Third, where does beauty come from? Beauty does not come from itself, but from people.
First, beauty is not innate, beauty can not be separated from the viewer, and any viewing is creative.
Second, beauty is different for anyone. The same foreign object shows different scenes in front of different people and produces different meanings. Wang Shouren, an idealist thinker in the Ming Dynasty, believed that "there are unintentional things in the world" and everything, including beautiful things, exists in people's subjective "hearts". Once he and his friends went out to see the blooming flowers among the rocks. The friend asked, "There are unintentional things in the world. What does this flower tree have to do with my heart?" Wang Shouren replied, "When you didn't see this flower, it died with your heart. When you look at this flower, you will understand it for a period of time and know that it is not outside your heart. " In other words, if people don't see flowers, there is no such flower in their hearts and flowers don't exist; People can only understand by looking at flowers, so they don't exist outside the heart. This is a public propaganda of the view that "beauty lies in the heart".
Third, beauty is historic. In different historical times, different nationalities and different classes, beauty has similarities on the one hand and differences on the other.
Fourth, the beauty of art in life is everywhere: arts and crafts, architecture, music, dance, sculpture, painting literature, drama, movies, photography, calligraphy, folk art, acrobatics and other artistic styles are numerous, and they are pretending to be ordinary every day.
The beauty of Chinese traditional colors. China's color concept, painting color, clothing color, dyeing and weaving color, architectural painting, drama color, pigment technology and color application have far-reaching influence all over the world. In ancient China, colors were divided into yin and yang, seasons and directions. The relationship between yin and yang is the most important in color configuration, and who is yin and yang depends on the specific language environment and cultural background. Color matching pays attention to the season, orientation and taste, as well as the origin, grams, control and culture between colors. The ancients used color matching, and liked the juxtaposition effect with strong contrast, with special emphasis on the configuration of five colors. The ancients advocated bright colors, taking monochrome as the basis, multicolor as the value, hue opposition as the hobby, and five colors as the ultimate color.
With the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the court art became popular. Since the Republic of China, the five colors have spread to the people and become more and more fierce. The color of the whole nation has become vulgar. In ancient times, the technology of color purification was very poor. The color extracted directly from ore is particularly soft, magnetic and attractive, but now the color is often too bright, making it look vulgar. -Refer to Professor Peng De's The Configuration of China Colors. Art beautifies the world. People have two kinds of mental abilities, one is rationality and the other is sensibility. The representative of rationality is science, and the representative of sensibility is art. Science conquered the world and art beautified the world. They are like two wheels of a car, and the wings of birds can't be ignored. Aesthetics can communicate humanities and science. Suzhou Museum: I.M. Pei's works The design of Suzhou Museum combines the traditional Suzhou architectural style, placing the museum between courtyards to make the building in harmony with the surrounding environment. The main courtyard of the museum is an extension of the architectural style of the Humble Administrator's Garden in the north and a modern interpretation. Landscape gardening and innovative gardening are interdependent. I.M. Pei designed a main courtyard and several small inner courtyards with exquisite layout. Visitors can get a glimpse of the waterscape in the south of the Yangtze River through the lobby glass, and the courtyard is directly connected with the affiliated garden of Humble Administrator's Garden through the north wall, so that the old and new gardens are integrated. The Beauty of Artistic Works Excellent literary works not only pay attention to the beauty of modeling and color matching, but also advocate truth, goodness and beauty in artistic conception, which can arouse endless association of viewers and bring aesthetic enlightenment. Learn to identify and reject low-level, ugly and vulgar literary and artistic works. Enhance their aesthetic consciousness and cultivate their sentiments in beautiful works of art.
Aesthetic education accompanies one's life.
PART 0 1 Babies can perceive everything in the outside world during the fetal period, so "prenatal education" is very popular in modern times. "It seems difficult to determine the role of' prenatal education'. However, during pregnancy, mothers often listen to beautiful music and do something that makes them happy, which should really have a good influence on the fetus. After the child is born, the mother's aesthetic education will accompany her life. Especially in the preschool stage, the mother's graceful posture, graceful manners, neat and beautiful family environment, etc. are all very important for children.
PART 02 In adolescence, the aesthetic education children receive is mainly school education. In school education, attention is paid to the education of children's character, thought, behavior and language, and there are also music, art, calligraphy and other related courses in school curriculum. During the nine-year compulsory education and even college, students are greatly influenced by school and social related courses. Parents should pay attention to giving their children moderate study space, neither imposing their own wishes on them, nor interfering with their normal hobbies, so that children can grow freely and naturally. There is more than one road to success. Children's success often benefits from relaxed and enlightened families and parents and relatives who support them. (Refer to Fu Lei's letter, it is a truly successful education to let children develop in an all-round way. ) Starting from 2020, music and art subjects in many parts of the country will be included in the senior high school entrance examination. Music and art subjects are included in the quality inspection discipline of compulsory education.
PART 03 Adult stage The adult stage is the stage of human struggle and the most utilitarian period in one's life. The pressure of life often makes people forget distance and poetry. Therefore, in the busy life and work, it is very necessary to adjust your mood properly, create a comfortable and elegant environment for yourself as much as possible, and cultivate one or two hobbies that can relax your body and mind in your spare time. Art is the best way to relax. Calligraphy can meditate, music can delight feelings, painting can express emotions, and poetry can make the mind gallop freely. ................................................................................................................................................... "Before, art could not be eaten. If you don't study art in the future, you may have no food! " -Ma Yunpart
Art is an education about life aesthetics, but in China, art is more of a survival education. Children study art mainly to get into college and find a job. On the contrary, in universities for the aged, art education has returned to its essence. After Ma Yun's middle age, with the weakening of people's social responsibility, retired groups began to return to humanities education and began to let go of themselves. A large number of middle-aged and elderly people join the square dance and choir, and calligraphy, painting, dance and other courses in senior universities have become the first choice for middle-aged and elderly people. On the one hand, it is to realize their dreams of hobbies as children or even as children. On the other hand, although "everyone is an artist" is strictly a false proposition, everyone's demand for artistic expression is real. Happiness is the ultimate pursuit of human culture at all times and in all countries.
Everyone can take part in art. A perfect person wants to be happy all his life, not only has the quality of obtaining happy conditions, but also has the quality of experiencing the feeling of a happy life. -Zhou Haihong Art is in our life. Learning to sing a popular song, learning to express the beauty we see with painting, expressing our thoughts with poetry and beautifying our home environment with flowers are all ways to improve our perceptual quality. Marx said: If you want to enjoy art, you must be an artistic person. Art has never been art itself, but the whole outlook on life.
Only when man is completely human can he play; Only those who play are complete people. Only in art is talent a game; Only in the game can people be free. ? Schiller (Germany) Art Everything is possible.
