Looking for spring all day, but I can't find it.
Mango shoes travel all over the leading cloud.
Come back and smile and smell the plum blossom.
Spring has been in the branches for ten minutes.
Zong Baihua, the master of aesthetics, understands that what the author wants to express is that poetry and spring are the embodiment of beauty. The former is artistic beauty and the latter is natural beauty.
The master said, "Man is not far from Tao". If there is beauty in their hearts, the world will be happy. Beauty is everywhere, a porridge and a meal are the beauty of the four seasons, the sunset is the beauty of welcoming guests, and even ants are trying to move.
As a representative of modern neo-Taoism in China, Mr Zong Baihua is also a philosopher and poet. His book Where to Find Beauty shared with readers the beauty of humanity, art, calligraphy and painting, and music architecture. Beauty is all around you, under your eyes. Life is an aesthetic road.
First, the beauty of human nature, great beauty
Tagore, an Indian poet, once touched the beautiful spirit of China culture. He said, "China culture makes people love the real world". The author interprets Tagore's praise of China culture as "China people instinctively discovered the secret of things' melody".
Ancient philosophers explored the universe. Western philosophers use the logic of physics and mathematics to evolve the evolution of the universe, while China philosophers use the attitude of "silence is better than sound" to refer to the rhythm of the universe.
The ancients in China used jade and porcelain to symbolize the beauty of personality. Even after the invention of gunpowder and compass, it was used to create romance and pray for directions for fireworks.
Our ancients had awe and gratitude for everything in the world.
The author shared the beautiful story of Jin people in the book. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, wars continued and people's lives were exhausted. But at that time, people's spiritual freedom and enthusiasm for life were the strongest.
In Jin Dynasty, there was Wang Xizhi's word, which was vigorous and free and easy. There are Gu Kaizhi's paintings, and I know how to think in seconds; And Ji Kang's piano, sincere and warm.
It is because of them that we understand the beauty of freedom and madness, and that what the spirit advocates is great beauty.
Second, the beauty of art, appreciate beauty
The author thinks that the function of art is to affect people.
Art can integrate people's deepest experience of the spiritual realm of life into life and achieve the culture of poetry, books, rituals and music.
Simply put, art includes: "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting", and Qin stands for music. The author said: "The ideal personality should be the soul of a piece of music".
Music can carry forward and inspire the spirit of unity.
The ancients thought that life and the universe were rhythmic festivals. The rhythm of music can just reflect this harmony.
The author said: "Art is a technology." He expresses his life and reveals his emotional personality and individuality. The realm of life is broad and far-reaching, and art, like life, has the same profound and rich expression.
Art is a moment of forgetting myself in life, and art is a "still photo" in the heart.
It is precisely because art has the above characteristics that when we appreciate music, we will be unified in mind and appreciate the beauty of life rhythm.
Life is unpredictable and art is endless.
In different times, a number of different works of art will emerge, which highlight the dream of an era and make people realize the distant life and the long river of the future.
Come and go, and you will be happy now. Art is the beauty of appreciation.
Third, the beauty of calligraphy and painting, the beauty of thought
The author discusses Wang Xizhi's words in the book, from which we can see people's joys and sorrows. For example, Zhang Xu's ci can not only express his feelings, but also show the changing image of nature.
The "gratifying" font form is that a writer combines feelings with images and scenes. Many of the origins of our characters are expressed in the form of flowers.
Ancient calligraphy and painting can become works of art because "form and sound complement each other."
Calligraphy and painting of the ancients focused on calligraphy and painting. The author analyzes that "there are aesthetic thoughts in calligraphy and painting". Those painters express the author's yearning for emotion and artistic conception through the layout of the painting, the density of the structure, the weight of the painting and the urgency of using the pen.
Writing is picturesque, flowing when happy, vigorous and powerful when sad. Different times have different styles of painting and calligraphy. The simplicity of the Great Song Dynasty and the prosperity of the prosperous Tang Dynasty can be seen in the paintings and calligraphy that have been circulated for thousands of years.
China's calligraphy doesn't stay in the symbolic stage like other nationalities' writing. We are tools to express emotion and beauty, works of art with thoughts, and beauty of thought and spirit.
Third, the beauty of architecture and mobility.
In Suzhou, everyone who has been to Suzhou Museum knows that it is the work of the world-famous architect Mr. I.M. Pei. From the entrance of the museum, on the right hand side, the rocks of Taihu Lake stand upright, with the background against the wall, and the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan presents a scene.
The corridors and patios in the museum are very ink-colored, and opposite the round window is a pine tree, which is naturally set off as a painting. The four seasons flow, and the colors and charm of each season are different.
The beauty of architecture is the beauty of mobility. Move with the changes of the sun, moon and stars.
In the book, the author shared the flying beauty of architecture. There are birds and beasts in countless palaces, which are integrated with culture and geomantic omen. Inside and outside every palace, there are stories, architectural stories and historical stories.
Many buildings in China have their own characteristics due to different dynasties.
The architecture of different dynasties never relaxed the pursuit of spatial beauty. There is an inexplicable interaction between the famous builders and the original buildings.
An aesthetic building must have some connection with the "founder", and sometimes it indicates some future.
"Where is the beauty?" As long as you have it in your heart, life is full of beautiful scenery. A person with great love must be bright no matter where he looks.
Beauty is a feeling and a beautiful emotion. Beauty is culture, and beauty is also people's love and affection for the world.
Born as a human being, life is precious, cherish time, keep learning and surpass yourself. This is the great beauty of human beings.
