The source of the word "beauty" is "sheep are great beauties". Shuowen's evaluation of beauty is "doing". From the beginning of the sheep, the sheep is among the six livestock, and the staple food is also "not delicious, delicious". Confucius's "the beauty of a gentleman's adult" confuses beauty with goodness and beauty with satisfaction. He took hearing Shao Le and not knowing the taste of March meat as examples. Zhuangzi, a great philosopher, grasped beauty dialectically and saw the relativity of beauty. He said, "Mao Tong and Li Ji are all beautiful. Fish can see deeply, birds can see high, and elk can see accurately. Are the four familiar with the positive color of the world? " Mencius believes that "wealth is beauty" has touched some connotations. In addition, the Book of Rites regards beauty as a subjective thing, and there are many opinions scattered in poetry. For example, beauty lies in appropriateness and symmetry, that is, the beauty of the daughter in "East Neighbor" described by Song Yu in "The Lotito" is too long, the restoration is too short, the powder is too white, and the painting is too red. As for Li Bai's "clear water gives birth to hibiscus, natural carving"; Su Dongpo's poem "To compare with the West Lake, light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate" shows that beauty lies in nature. The proverb "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" tells us that beauty lies in the relationship. Regarding whether beauty is the unity of subjective and objective, Su Dongpo's "The Sound of the Qin" made such a reflection: If there is a sound on the Qin, why not put it in the box? If the piano sounds from your hands, why can't you hear the sound? "
All of the above, although there are flaws, also shows that "beauty is difficult." As the aesthetician Zhu Guangqian said, "Americans often call beauty' I don't know what it is'."
In fact, beautiful images arouse people's sensory pleasure, and then arouse their admiration and even sense of possession. There are many factors such as history, culture, folk customs, morality, times, material desire and so on. Including sports, calligraphy, painting, literary works, etc. It makes us feel beautiful. To sum up, firstly, a concrete image (not an abstract concept) acts on our senses. Secondly, the senses act on the accepted image, which arouses our admiration and joy and gives us enjoyment and intoxication. Third, images that can arouse our aesthetic feelings can only exist in human society, and they are only meaningful to people and human society. In this sense, it can be said that beauty is an objective social phenomenon-beauty is not a natural phenomenon (the beauty of flowers is different from that of flowers), nor is it a private phenomenon (beauty can be shared and beauty has recognized standards). For example, a girl can sing about her lost love, but a miser can't sing about her lost money (because the latter's singing can't communicate with others, so it won't be touching). Fourthly, all kinds of images in nature, social life and works of art are not beautiful, that is, besides the characteristics of vividness, appeal and sociality, beauty must also have a most fundamental feature-objectification of human's essential strength, that is, beautiful images should reflect human's essential strength as a human being, that is, people consciously, purposefully and actively transform the world and pursue truth, goodness and beauty, so as to gain freedom in the objective world. For example, a skilled person solves the superb skills of cattle, a doctor skillfully uses a scalpel, the society develops in an orderly and harmonious way, and shenzhou spaceship freely enters and exits space ... Beauty is one of the signs that people are different from animals, so there is a childlike innocence and beauty is pure; The beauty of a girl's heart is flawless; Beauty is unintentional in the heart of benevolence; The inner beauty of a strong man lies in his fearless reputation.

Staring at life (Author: Pingjiang)
God gave us a pair of eyes to stare at life. But some people stare at it all their lives and don't know what life is like. In fact, the appearance of life is gazing, which is the most vivid, rich and authentic scenery in the world.
Gazing at life is an aesthetic. Marx said: If you want to enjoy art, you must first become an artistic person. The endless sea, endless mountains and rivers, snow-white walls and lifelike statues attract people's attention because they combine the art of life. The concern between friends and the affection between lovers are the sublimation of the art of life; When we meet again after a long separation or make up, a affectionate glance is a classic of the art of life.
Staring at life is a gallery. With the pen of rational vicissitudes, along the main line of life, give life a new interpretation and vivid assumptions, and integrate people into the purity of human nature in a complicated world. Young eyes are full of curiosity and longing; The young gaze is gentle and full of honey; Middle-aged gaze is calm and full of reason; The gaze of old age is a sigh, full of memories.
Staring at life is a cavity. Take the wings of desire as a hook and tie a line of floats, so that expectation is highly charged in imagination and time is given a brand-new definition. When Qu Zi stared at the Miluo River, it was a time of frustration; Li Bai stares at the moonlight, which is the time for homesickness; Zhu Ziqing stared at the lotus pond, which was a lonely time. Li Shangyin stared at the dusk of Leyuan Scenic Area; Freud stared at the wall. It was a lonely time. This is an extraordinary silence, a prelude to greatness and success.
Gazing at life is a morning song. After experiencing every ups and downs of fate, a rest began the next round of free combination; But the rest is not the end, but the starting point; The next movement will be mature, steady, passionate and stirring.
Look at life, let your thoughts and past events have an open exchange, sum up experience, learn lessons, accumulate courage, persevere and look forward to another Long March. But the change of life, only staring is not enough, staring is just a springboard, is the foreshadowing of thought; The gazer is not without tears or sadness, because there should be no regrets in a heroic life. Instead of tears at the top, he held hands with ideals and success in his gaze, copying the past, present and future into textbooks and chronicles to commemorate the golden years and comfort the restless soul. In this way, even in the face of an ever-changing world, we will always have an answer.
Stare at life, and life will stare at you. All competitors renegotiate in an equal atmosphere, all lives are reshuffled in different fates, and everything starts again in the blue sky and white clouds.
Listen to the rain.
Gaokao candidates
Summer rain is coming. At the beginning of the exam, Sun's face was still red. Half an hour later, the rain splashed on the ground, and the wind with rain blew in from the door, which made me feel a little cold.
Why does this relentless rain ravage the earth and destroy trees, so that we students can't calm down and answer questions quietly?
"The joys and sorrows are always ruthless, and the first step is until dawn." Ruthless rain, you let Jie Jiang leave a sigh that "teenagers don't know the taste of sorrow"; "Sunrise in the east and rain in the west, but sunny on the road." You asked Liu Yuxi to write the poem "Willow Green, Jiang Shuiping Green"; Rain hates clouds, and Jiangnan is still called Kerry. You let Wang Yucheng miss the beauty of "water town fishing market, a wisp of solitary smoke" ...
Rain, listen, the voice is much lower. You are tired. Do you want to have a rest? Do you know that there has been a severe drought in the old course of the Yellow River? The seedlings need your gift, your care and your running water. All right, stop it. They are still weak. They can't stand your madness or listen to your anger. I know that the torrent shows your majesty, but just a little rain can show the beauty of silence. "There are seven or eight stars in the sky, and it rains two or three times in front of the mountain". How many surprises and hopes are contained in countless raindrops! "The curtain falls, and it's drizzling in Shuang Yan". How much poetry and painting is conveyed by the drizzle!
In the rain, I heard the expectation of the earth. In the rain, I heard the cries of heroes of ancient and modern times. In the rain, I couldn't help thinking of the eternal songs of those literati and poets.
"Sleeping at night listening to the wind and rain, iron horse glacier dream." Lu you once dreamed of the lost land of his hometown in the rain; "There are many rains during the Qingming period, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." Du Mu got lost in the rain, and his heart was broken ... It is a kind of fun to hit a banana in the rain; Rain makes people sad, which is a kind of melancholy. When it rains, I can't bear to see that "a pool of broken ping"; Walking in the rain, I came across a good situation and felt sorry for "it rained at home in Huangmei season, and frogs were everywhere in the grass pond"
"Good rain knows the season, when spring comes." The subtle rain reminds people of the beauty of spring. You see, the spring grass is green after the rain, and the bright green makes people witness the true colors of nature, make people daydream about the kindness of the creator, and make people listen to the sounds of nature.
The rain has stopped, the whistle has sounded, and there are 15 minutes left. The rain is going to stop, but my thoughts are still expanding. I seem to have become a drop of rain, and together with many raindrops, I slowly gather into a stream, flow into a small river, and rush to the vast ocean.
"Wind and rain send spring home, flying snow welcomes spring." There may be many bumps along the way, but I have to hand in my papers in two minutes. What's the next sentence? You can't lose points in this fill-in-the-blank question! The window lit up and the weather cleared up. "It's already sunny, and the birds are still singing!" "
