This tells us that beauty is a person's image, beauty itself is deeply rooted in people's words and actions, and the solution of beauty problems is based on the solution of people's problems. Du Fu, an aesthete, thinks that beauty lies in relationship, and beauty is relationship. The more complicated the relationship, the better things are. In other words: beauty is transferred by relationship, and changes with the emergence, growth and development of relationship. Because this change can cause people's spiritual pleasure, such spiritual pleasure is aesthetic feeling, and the object that can cause people's spiritual pleasure is beauty.

Aesthetic principles exist in the form of harmony, symmetry, balance, order and proper proportion among all parts of the form of things, which can be expressed by strict quantity. The beauty of the body lies in "the symmetry of the proportion of each part".

The connection between man and beauty is gradually formed and developed in the long-term social practice, especially in the long-term labor practice. Engels has a passage that properly explains the process of the relationship between man and beauty: only because of labor, adaptation to ever-changing movements, and the special development of muscles, ligaments and bones caused by it, and the application of these inherited dexterity to new and more complicated movements, can human hands achieve such a high degree of perfection. Engels' words tell us: "The hand is not only the organ of labor, but also the product of labor." That is, sports and labor create human beauty.
