First, write. We can all write, but words are different from words. Generally speaking, writing is to express meaning and make others understand. Therefore, as long as the words are neatly written and easy to identify, it is enough; Another word is calligraphy. Although it is also a word, it is not only an expression, but also an art, which contains "beauty", which is artistic beauty.
Second, eat. We have to eat every day. Eating is to understand hunger, not to live, as long as you are full. Eating smoothly is of course better; However, if we go to a nursing home or eat a nutritious diet to treat a certain disease, we don't have to eat well, and we don't have to eat smoothly. This kind of rice is also rice, but it is also a "medicine" for eating health.
As can be seen from the above two examples, things are hierarchical: one is "character" and the other is "calligraphy"; One is "rice" and the other is "nutritious meal". On the surface, it seems to be the same thing, but in fact it is quite different.
People who don't know calligraphy can't tell good from bad, and they can't find the beauty contained in calligraphy, so they don't understand its artistic value.
People who don't understand dietary nutrition can only judge the price of this meal according to their own tastes, so they don't understand its nutritional value and specific treatment and health care functions.
The key to all this is that you must understand.
The same is true of mahogany.
What I don't understand is all wood and furniture. If you choose, you can only rely on practicality and your own intuitive preferences. It is a mystery why there is such a big difference in prices for things that look the same.
So what is "understanding"? If you are in the mahogany industry, you open a factory, do sales, or engage in a certain type of work, even if you have worked for several years, more than ten years, decades, do you dare to say that you understand? Not necessarily!
It can be said that many mahogany factories, including workers, now paint cats according to cats-imitating old furniture or working according to pictures. As for why that "look" is like this, they often don't understand and won't go too far. This is like the second example listed above. The person who does things is not a nutrition caterer, but a vegetable cutter or a chef in the kitchen. For a mahogany factory, whether the workers below are "vegetable cutters" or "cooks" is not a big problem; And if the boss is just a "vegetable cutter" or a "cook", it will be very terrible. And such a mahogany boss is not uncommon.
-mahogany aesthetics can solve this problem.
Making furniture is the same as writing. The furniture you make is a word. If people can recognize it, you can sell it. The furniture you make is not only a recognizable word, but also a calligraphy, and you can sell it at the price of "calligraphy".
The core problem is that many pieces of furniture are not well done or poorly sold in the market, which leads to the deviation of "aesthetics".
Mahogany furniture is different from ordinary furniture. It not only has strong artistic features, but also has profound cultural connotations. The core of art is beauty, and so is the core of cultural connotation. Mahogany aesthetics is to reveal the mysteries and laws of beauty to us.
Beauty can influence people and impress them. Only when a piece of furniture can impress people can it conquer users. And this kind of beauty is created by producers and spread by publishers. If producers and sellers don't understand and master beauty, how can they create and spread beauty? In other words, let this beauty conquer itself first, and then conquer customers.
So, I don't understand mahogany aesthetics, but I only know how to draw a cat according to a cat, just like a semi-illiterate who just came out of a literacy class and wrote a few crooked words; Only by relying on experience and intuition and following the footsteps of our predecessors can we write skillfully. These people are like boats that have lost power. They can only be pushed by the waves and drift with the tide in the commercial sea, and they are in danger of being swallowed up by the wind and waves at any time. In this case, they are all self-sufficient, let alone creative and innovative. Only by truly mastering mahogany aesthetics can we be a dynamic sailing boat, master the course freely, have a clear goal and sail to the other side of victory with confidence.
History is like this and it will always be like this. "Knowledge changes fate" is an eternal truth.
There is a passage in Marx's Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts: "Worried poor people have no feeling for the most beautiful scenery; Businessmen who manage minerals only see the commercial value of minerals, but can't see the beauty and uniqueness of minerals; He has no idea about mineralogy. Therefore, ... "I omitted the following words because it is too philosophical. But I can tell you that I understand Marx's meaning, that is, when you are still running around all day for food and clothing, you often have no time to take care of the beauty around you, and you lose the feeling of that kind of beauty. If you only see the commercial value of mahogany and only recognize money, but you don't know its connotation, culture and aesthetic characteristics, and you don't know the aesthetics of mahogany, it won't do. So we must get this feeling and understanding of beauty back, "humanize people's feelings." "On the other hand, let your feelings communicate with others, society and nature, and you will have the same language as calligraphers, you will have the same language as nutritionists, and you will know and recognize them and the value of what they do. By the same token, when you stand on the same aesthetic level as them, your own value will also increase simultaneously, and at this time they will also agree with you and your works. In fact, your value, the value of your work, is naturally promoted in this change of thinking and understanding. Among them, aesthetics is the link between you and calligraphers and nutritionists.
The future market is really like this, it must be!
Therefore, Marx went on to say that this learning process is a process of "creating human feelings that are compatible with human nature and all the richness of nature". Conclusion: It is very necessary to have this process!
Therefore, we should study the aesthetics of mahogany.
