Life Aesthetics Prose 1 After waking up, I had nothing to do, so I remembered that I had not left my boudoir for more than a month and went out briskly on the evening breeze.
It is early autumn, and the wind caresses the hair on the skin, which is soft, like a girl caressing her child as a mother for the first time, a little excited and mixed with a little cuteness. I walked aimlessly on the avenue of the community. The layout of the community is concentric, the outer ring is a European-style wall, and the center is located with a house with red walls and green tiles. But interestingly, when I walked in from the doorman, the first thing I saw was the towering trees. When you carefully discovered how the little white dog became a spotted dog, you looked up and the sky was covered with a large group of leaves in the shape of a five-pointed star. Leaves didn't cover the sky in ancient Chinese, but they left a lovely gap so that little people who prayed for happiness could take a look at the sky. I don't know why, when I saw this scene, I had a sense of stardom, but white clouds and blue sky were my stars, and gratifying green was my black night sky. Slowly, the evening breeze chased me, the five-pointed star danced gracefully and lightly, and sometimes the girl here showed her sleeves, while the girl over there.
I bid farewell to those young people who are full of vigor and vitality, and I went on. Go to four or three parts of the inner ring, go inside. This is a fitness place. I want to be lazy and feel lazy. Look at my greasy grease. Fortunately, I am a white fat man. I first went to a simple walking machine and played Xue Jing on the machine. A little tired, I moved to a stone chair by the lake to enjoy the scenery. From a distance, I saw that my position was occupied by a group of brats. They run and jump, and there are many the Monkey King and monkeys dancing around Guo Huashan. There are several old people sitting under the pavilion, mostly women. Seeing them chatting happily, discussing new recipes, or recalling the time when they were together as plain as jade, I feel that the changes of the times make people unable to keep up. Looking back, I looked at several fountains in a small lake nearby. The slender water column spouted from the lake and sank to the bottom of the lake in a perfect parabola. I saw a drop of water sent to the highest place to reflect the beautiful sunset glow, with the momentum of carp yue longmen, but I was helpless, because the air resistance rushed into the water surface, causing many ripples. My eyes stayed on the water drop that kept trying to rush to the sky but ended up with other water drops. I can't help but admire, admire and envy. I looked away again to observe a pink bud in the middle of a small lotus flower in the lake. I saw her hugging each other tightly, as if I knew it would hurt when I grew up. I stubbornly hated the one who raised her: "I don't want to open it, I don't want to be folded." I can't help but think of this sentence: life is a thousand petals of red lotus. If my heart refuses to open, then it also refuses to wither and wither. Weeping willows, pine trees and hazel trees are planted by the lake, and the wind blows, making tourists intoxicated. I'm like a A Jin person who strayed into the Peach Blossom Garden. However, this is really the world and my peach blossom garden ~
At night, it was raining. I came to the window and watched quietly. My bamboo forest has been washed greener in the rain.
The aesthetics of life lies in living, watching, thinking and being happy.
Life Aesthetics Prose 2 has been particularly impetuous recently, and it is difficult to meditate, so I thought of reading some aesthetic books to calm my flashy mind and feel the vitality of nature with pure music.
Baum Si Tong, the father of modern aesthetics, said that great music must be pure notes, and all the lyrics are superfluous. Only pure music can give people unlimited imagination, and the lyrics limit the listener's thinking. Feel the beautiful world in music and know aesthetics in taste notes.
What is aesthetics?
This is a difficult topic, and no one seems to be able to elaborate on it. Aestheticists often say that "beauty is difficult", and so is aesthetics. It is difficult to define this unpredictable, irregular discipline and purely perceptual knowledge world. Generally speaking, aesthetics is a theory about the understanding and discussion of all beauty.
Aesthetics is far away from us, but it is everywhere. "This girl is punctual", which is a discussion about beauty; "This movie is not good at all", which is also an aesthetic category.
In life, aesthetics is closely related to us and affects our work and life all the time. Cool hairstyle, beautiful clothes, exquisite gifts, tall iphone, comfortable and clean office environment, and beautiful things are always pleasing to the eye and like.
What's the use of aesthetics
Although aesthetics is all around us, if you ask "what's the use of aesthetics", you really can't answer it. This kind of perceptual thing, in a society dominated by scientific rationality and paying attention to pragmatism and utilitarianism, aesthetics is undoubtedly a useless thing.
Aesthetics is not like science, mathematics and other natural sciences, nor can it compare with psychology. The practical color is very light and verbose, but it can't give a clear answer, and there is no standard and logic. In the face of rationalism, aesthetic rhetoric is basically nonsense. This is the aesthetic embarrassment.
Aesthetics pursues perceptual knowledge and reason is her enemy. Aesthetics is like a young girl in her prime. She is pure and sensitive, and exudes an aesthetic atmosphere. In front of mature and rational people, she is a "silly and sweet" image.
However, is aesthetics really useless?
Obviously not.
Jobs created the Apple mobile phone series because he discovered the potential needs of human nature. People are crazy about Apple phones, changing the rhythm of one phone a year. Their mobile phones are still new, but they are eager to buy the new model just released by Apple. This irrational behavior is incredible to rational people, but this is its loveliness. Because of perceptual knowledge (owning Apple's new mobile phone is the taste of being tall), it has created Apple's gorgeous development.
The present craft aesthetics, from the perspective of craft design, makes aesthetics more practical. However, this is still a manifestation of pragmatism and utilitarianism. It is not the essence of aesthetics to make aesthetics a standardized way through technical standards.
The greatest use of aesthetics is humanistic care. The pursuit of goodness and beauty. From the humanistic point of view, look at the whole world with beautiful experiences. Pursue things that conform to the beauty of nature and human nature, and hate hypocrisy, greed and evil.
Re-recognize sensibility
When the whole earth is talking about the greatness of science and pursuing rationality, sensibility is very lost and aesthetics is inferior. Some time ago, the company training also said "don't have emotional troubles", and sensibility seems to have no place.
While we enjoy the convenience brought by science and technology, our humanity is rapidly deteriorating and our sensibility is shrinking. The popularity of mobile phones, the popularity of the Internet and the wide application of WeChat have brought us closer to our friends, but we are even more unfamiliar. How many of us are friends living in WeChat circle of friends? Wechat chat is in full swing, but we can't meet each other in real life. Are we speechless when we meet?
We need to re-understand sensibility and its function. Leisure and entertainment, accompanying family and friends, and doing seemingly meaningless things are not necessarily inferior to those high-ranking jobs. If there is no sensibility in life except rationality and work, what is the difference between people and machine tools?
Everything that can stay and be sung forever must be emotional, not rational. Passion, impulse that can't be ignored, dedication and determination at all costs, persistence, and choice and persistence for only one belief are all actions that we are proud of, regardless of success or failure.
Only with reason, life will be dull, and life will have nothing to say. Respecting sensibility is the true nature of flesh and blood, and only then can we move ourselves, infect others and become beautiful.
We often say that Edison's "genius is 1% talent +99% sweat". People value the rational sweat behind them, and usually publicize 99% sweat, but ignore the importance of 1% perceptual talent. But there is another sentence behind Edison: "Without 1% talent, no amount of sweat can be a genius." It can be seen that the importance of talent, this kind of sensibility that can be met but not sought, is the key to determining whether you can become a genius. People who work hard and sweat a lot can become talents (technicians), but they will never become geniuses, because not everyone has perceptual talent.
Aesthetics and art
Aesthetics is a perceptual subject, which is most closely related to perceptual art, or aesthetics is a subject that studies art, and literature, poetry, music, painting and architecture in art are closely related to aesthetics.
In poetry, perceptual poetry is always higher than rationality. A purely emotional poem must be more popular than a rational one. This is why poets should have romantic feelings, find beauty and poetry in the most ordinary life. We all know the poems of Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, but many poets wrote poems in Song Dynasty, but they seldom mentioned them. They are all talking about Song poetry. Because Tang poetry is romantic, Song poetry is reasonable, and the achievement of poet Li Bai is far greater than that of poet Du Fu. The first article in The Book of Songs is Guan Ju, which is sentimental, while more than 300 articles in The Book of Songs are romantic.
If you want to write a good poem, you must have a certain perceptual knowledge. The more rational, the less poetic (emotional) it is.
Others, such as music and painting, have higher requirements for sensibility. Without a trace of sensibility, Beethoven, Mozart and other music masters have been created; Emotional troubles have made great artists such as Van Gogh and Picasso. "Genius belongs only to art", which Kant said is the most reasonable.
Aesthetics and us
In our daily life, it is always good to learn some aesthetics, which can improve our aesthetic ability and appreciation ability. In popular parlance, it is called "forcing the grid to be high" and "pretending to force the standard". In other words, our taste in life should be more noble and the level of enjoyment should be higher.
The level of life taste and enjoyment mentioned here refers to the spiritual field and imagination, which can not be achieved by material and money alone. It is called standard taste to spend a dollar to play with everyone's admiration; Spend1100,000 to have fun, giving people the feeling that it is caused by the behavior, vulgarity and poor taste of the nouveau riche. This is called spending money to do bad things. The aesthetics of the existing society and the pursuit of elegance and aristocratic temperament require us to know some aesthetics.
Aesthetics regulates some of our social behaviors, and sensibility makes our life more colorful.
Psychologically speaking, people are emotional 85% of the time, and only 15% of the time is rational. Perception is so important that knowing it can help me do many things well. For example, when lobbying people, we often say that if we want to "reason with emotion", we must first move people with emotion, so that reason can go on and lobbying can succeed. Otherwise, no matter how good the argument is, it will be useless, and even bear the reputation of being eloquent and arrogant.
Let aesthetics fill our life and be a happy and interesting person.
