Artificial sophistication is better than natural. The description of the technique is very clever.
Ingenuity means that the craftsmanship is very ingenious, and the artificial ingenuity surpasses the creation of nature. The original source of this idiom is a sentence in "Giving Fireworks to Those Who Set Off Fireworks" written by Yuan Dynasty poet Zhao Mengfu: "The ingenuity of the world is amazing, and the refining of medicine and lighting of lamps can be done at the same time during the day." Maybe this poet and this poem were not widely circulated, but people summed up the word "ingenuity" from this poem, and it has been circulated to this day. There is also a saying that the word originally originated from the sentence "Subtlety lies in wisdom, which can be traced to the analogy, the mysterious is connected to the yin, and cleverly seizes the fortune" in the work "The Book of Burial" written by Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty. However, since this sentence does not directly contain this word, it is generally believed that its original source is the Yuan Dynasty poem "Giving Fireworks to the One" mentioned above. Although the original origin was to describe fireworks, the meaning of ingenuity is now often used to describe larger artificial products such as buildings. Modern author Wu Yuzhang also wrote such a sentence in "Celebrating the Opening of the Yangtze River Bridge to Traffic": It is possible to fly across the natural chasm with human power~. The word "seize" in this word means to exceed. Zhang Dai of the Qing Dynasty wrote in "Tao An Meng Yi Pu Zhong Qian Sculpture": "Nanjing Pu Zhong Qian has an ancient appearance and an ancient heart. He may be incompetent in making porridge, but his skills are outstanding." Modern writer Guo Xiaochuan said in his work "In the Climax of Socialism" I also wrote a sentence like "Sixty million pairs of hands create your own happiness." It can be seen that this idiom is still relatively grand in today's literature. A word similar to the meaning of ingenuity is "supernatural workmanship". The two seem to have the same meaning, the words are written similarly, and the meanings are both clever and grand. But there is a fundamental difference between the two. "Incredible workmanship" describes the products of nature, such as caves and Guilin landscapes, rather than the products of manpower.
