This kind of wordless praise was originally for education. However, to understand the wordless will, we must study it from the artistic point of view.
"Words are so vivid, but the meaning is by no means completely expressible. Because words are fixed and marked; The meaning is ever-changing, elusive, and the words are scattered and mixed; Words are limited and their meanings are infinite. Expressing meaning in words seems to be an intermittent dotted line, which can only be approximated. "
The so-called literature is the art of expressing meaning with words. In literary works, the image before language and the language attached to emotional intention must be perfect in order to arouse aesthetic feeling.
Photos are realistic, but people who know art know that pictures are better than photos. Similarly, literary works need to be expressed, but the more valuable the better. Like "the deceased is like a husband, not giving up day and night." The lines are full of meaning. For example, "where did those lost times go before me?" Behind me, where are the future generations? I miss heaven and earth, there is no limit, there is no end, and I cry naturally. " Although it shows the poet's feelings, how simple and profound it is.
In music, when singing and playing music, the tone changes from grand to deep or even silent, and we have a quiet, solemn, peaceful and happy scene mentally. "Check its cold touch, the string seems to be broken, and the setting has never passed a breakthrough. The depth of sadness and the hiding of sadness are more told in silence than in voice. " This is the meaning of describing the beauty of silence in music. Keats, an English poet, wrote in Song of the Greek Vase, "The audible tone is beautiful, but the inaudible tone is especially beautiful." This is also the case. People who like music have probably tasted it.
The author also mentioned statues and plays. Many works often come to a very important point in the lively field, and suddenly everything is silent. There is a silent and mysterious scene.
Silence is not necessarily silence, but concealment. There is a proverb in China, "King Kong is not as dazzling as a bodhisattva." King Kong's glaring is dew, and the so-called low eyebrow is hidden.
"Take art to express thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to reveal, it is better to be a little more subtle. Instead of throwing up and telling everything, it is better to leave a large number of people to appreciate and understand. Because in the eyes of the viewer, impression and aesthetic feeling are implicit, more revealing and more profound. In other words, the less you say, the more you don't say, the greater the beauty, the deeper and the more real it is. "
The author thinks that the artist's life is surreal, and the works of life art are to help us transcend reality and seek comfort from our ideal sister. In other words, we have artistic requirements because the real world is too harsh on us. Refused to let our will be carried out unimpeded, so our will ran to the ideal world to comfort our feelings.
The value of a work of art depends on its transcendence of reality and whether the ideal world it creates is broad or narrow. Accurately speaking, the value of a work of art depends on whether it can be lent. A very small amount of help from the real world has created a very large number of ideal realms.
Works of art, like literary works, have a lot to say. Only when a large part of it is not expressed can the imagination of the viewer be brought into play. The beauty of a work lies not only in what has been shown, but also in what has not been shown and is infinitely implicit. This is the beauty of silence.
Excellent literary works are never tired of reading. Poetry, in particular, contains more wordless beauty. If you are at arm's length, you can be charming. When it comes to love, "Qi Xin shares the same wish, meaning will not be delayed" and "nothing to say" are sweeter than "gentle drizzle" and "pity me".
"There is a lot of spiritual understanding in people's hearts that words can't convey. As soon as the words are revealed, they are as boring as bagasse. "
There is a passage in the poem "The Mystery of Love" by British poet Blake:
Never say your love,
Love can never be told,
Because she's like a breeze,
Blowing silently.
I have said my love over and over again,
I told my lover everything,
Chill, shrugged his hair and told a way:
However, she finally ignored me!
She left me,
Soon, a passer-by came,
With a silent sigh,
I took her there.
