After carefully reading a book, what do you think? Why not calm down and write your thoughts after reading it? But what are the requirements for reading the review? The following is my review of the famous books on aesthetic walking that I have compiled for you. It is for reference only. You are welcome to read it. After reading the famous book "Aesthetic Walking" 1
When I borrowed "Aesthetic Walking" from the library, I found that its content was not what I imagined at all: it was an academic work full of professional terms and poorly written texts. , but an aesthetic wonder with beautiful words and full of artistic spirituality and poetry.
Reading this book is indeed a pleasure. Mr. Zong Baihua uses his lyrical writing style and thorough understanding to lead readers to appreciate the essence of Chinese and Western art. When we return from our "walk", we will be pleasantly surprised to find My mind and soul have been well purified and sublimated. Mr. Zong Baihua feels everything in the world with his heart and soul, and expresses it in his writing with words as smooth and beautiful as flowing water. In Mr. Zong's view, walking is free, but it does not necessarily mean it is absolutely illogical. Aristotle established systematic thinking in "walking", and Zhuangzi realized the mystery of the universe in "walking". · Vinci captured the true meaning of beauty while walking. Among various aesthetic phenomena and art categories, "walking" is a way to sort out aesthetics and artistic thoughts and get close to the spirit of art; between Chinese and Western aesthetics, "walking" is a way to highlight the individual spirit of traditional Chinese aesthetics.
While reading this book, I searched for some information about Mr. Zong Baihua on the Internet. It turns out that Mr. Zong Baihua, together with Zhu Guangqian, Cai Yi, Gao Ertai, and Li Zehou, are known as the five major contemporary figures in China. An esthetician, Mr. Zong Baihua’s academic characteristic is that he does not build a system, but focuses on the direct perception of art. Just as Liu Xiaofeng commented on Mr. Zong Baihua: "As an esthetician, Mr. Zong Baihua's basic position is to explore life and create it like a work of art. For Mr. Zong Baihua, art issues are first of all life issues. Art is a view of life, and artistic life makes for a valuable and meaningful life. "Mr. Zong Baihua's aesthetic thoughts were generated and developed during the special historical period when China was facing military and academic crises. The ancient motherland was facing both. Political and military pressures also face academic crises. In the overwhelming trend of "Westernization", he did not follow the trend, but insisted on taking traditional Chinese aesthetics as the foundation and the results of Western speculation as a reference, highlighting the combing and elucidation of Chinese classical aesthetics.
He is using his own opinions to guide us to appreciate Chinese poetry, painting, and music. He once sat in front of "Mona Lisa Smile" and admired it silently for an hour. I couldn't help but feel ashamed for Mr. Zong's almost crazy attitude towards art and beauty. In this bustling society with bright lights and bright lights, there are few people who can have such a Appreciate art with a calm mind. I not only want to absorb Mr. Zong Baihua’s aesthetic knowledge, but also learn Mr. Zong Baihua’s attitude towards art. In this book, what impressed me most was in the article "Preliminary Exploration of Important Issues in the History of Chinese Aesthetics", which mentioned: "The beauty of all art, and even the beauty of personality, all tend to the beauty of jade: there is brilliance inside. , but the brilliance is subtle, but this kind of brilliance is extremely gorgeous and extremely dull." It can be seen that Mr. Zong Baihua prefers the beauty of hibiscus water and the beauty of gold. If I had to choose between these two beauties, I would choose the former because the beauty of hibiscus water is real and natural. Just like Chinese ink painting compared with Western oil painting, I prefer the elegance and simplicity of Chinese ink painting. In fact, poetry and painting are similar. Sometimes it is not good if it is too full. You must know how to leave appropriate white space to be a master.
When Mr. Zong Baihua discovered beauty, his attitude was both detached and worldly. He showed us readers a very beautiful life and universe, full of intimacy and home, the universe. Greatness is nothing more than the coexistence of reality and reality, and beauty is everywhere. Mr. Zong Baihua discovered from the hills and valleys that "the universe is endless life and rich dynamics." It is also found to be "smooth order, perfect harmony". The British poet Blake's "One flower, one world, one leaf, one paradise" is an accurate depiction of this scenery.
The traditional Western painting style since Egypt and Greece is to depict sculpture-like objects in a painting that represents a three-dimensional space, with special emphasis on perspective, anatomy, and the blending of light and shadow. Chinese painting methods do not focus on the depiction of specific objects, but on artistic conception. The perspective method of Western painting is the object that the painter stands on the ground and looks straight at it; the perspective method of Chinese painting is a spatial perspective that is refreshing and bird's-eye view from the outside world. The spatial structure of Chinese paintings does not rely on the contrast of light and shadow, nor does it transfer the geometric perspective of statues and buildings, but shows a sense of space similar to that caused by music or dance.
Goethe said: Architecture is frozen music. There is a sense of music—the so-called rhyme—lurked in Chinese architecture, gardens, and sculptures. Chinese garden architecture likes to use vibrant animal images, and the beauty of flying is an important feature of ancient Chinese architectural art. In comparison, Greek architectural sculptures mostly used plant leaves to form patterns. Chinese plant patterns did not gradually flourish until after the Tang Dynasty. Chinese gardens are used to deal with the beauty of spaces, such as patios and yards. In addition to "looking" in "touring", the design in the garden can also "borrow scenery". Landscape is the medium for poets and painters to write their emotions. The artistic realm is not a single-layer natural representation, but a creation with deep realms. The Chinese like to set up an empty pavilion in the mountains and rivers as the focus of the turbulent spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers and a place for spiritual gathering. Silent care and leaping life constitute the two elements of art, and they also constitute the spiritual state of "Zen".
