The function of beauty experience lies in understanding beauty, discovering beauty and creating beauty.
. The aesthetic subject realizes the experience of beauty through the intervention of aesthetic perception, emotion, understanding and behavior factors, as well as the depth, singing and creativity of aesthetics. It is objective for aesthetic experience to intervene in beauty, which is not transferred by the subjective will of the appreciator. People's feeling of beauty comes from the beautiful things that exist objectively. The synthesis of all activities of this aesthetic feeling is aesthetic experience. Aesthetic experience plays a decisive role in the process of understanding and creating beauty. It is very different from other general experiences and has its own characteristics and requirements. First, the significance of aesthetic experience As the perceptual expression of human essential strength, beauty can never be separated from a certain material form, but it is incorrect to regard beauty as a natural phenomenon that can exist without society. It should be the organic unity of the content and form of beauty. If our understanding of beauty stays in the perceptual stage of beautiful things, we can only be in the position of distant bystanders, it is difficult to grasp the content of the object, and we can only get some perceptual knowledge of beauty in form. Mao Zedong said: "No matter what anyone wants to know, it can't be solved except contact with that thing, that is, living in the environment of that thing."
Then, if you want to get a deep sense of beauty, you need to enter the object or its environment to experience and understand the meaning of the beauty of the object. Therefore, the experience of beauty plays an important role in understanding beauty. Beauty comes from human social practice. Only with the development of human practical activities and the enrichment of human essential strength in the object world can beauty be continuously enriched and developed. Take nature as an example. In the wild era of human beings, they are completely opposite to people, completely unfamiliar, and there is no distinction between beauty and ugliness. Only when social practice develops further and nature becomes an integral part of human life can people obtain the beauty of nature.
And with the deepening of people's understanding and practice, more and more beauty will be found. Our understanding of beauty can't just stay in the perceptual knowledge of experience, but we can really enjoy beauty through practice and personal experience. At the same time, practice itself has many possibilities and development, which makes it possible for people to know the past experience and theory of beauty, re-recognize beauty and play a positive role in promoting the creation and development of beauty. Only through practical experience can we truly understand and create beauty. Without this, the understanding of beauty will easily stay in the position of experience, not to mention the creation of beauty. The deeper the experience of beauty, the deeper the understanding of beauty. The famous painter Xu Beihong's horse paintings are very beautiful. He himself said: "I love painting animals, and I have made in-depth observations on physical objects. In other words, with the horse theory, there are no fewer than a thousand manuscripts, and I have learned the anatomy of the horse, familiar with the bones, muscles and tissues of the horse, and then carefully examine its dynamics and expressions, so I can gain something. " It is the painter's repeated experience of the beauty of the painting object that makes him have a deep understanding of the beauty of this image, thus creating unforgettable beauty. Therefore, it can be said that the experience of beauty is the key to understanding and creating beauty. — 8 3—
We emphasize the importance of aesthetic experience, not to obliterate the pure philosophical theory of beauty, on the contrary,
The experience of beauty should be the combination of beauty theory and beauty practice. Testing and forming the theoretical understanding of beauty in the practice of beauty, in turn, promotes and guides the effective practice of beauty, and so on, each cycle is another improvement of the understanding of beauty. Second, the intervening characteristics of aesthetic experience. At first, human experience of beauty was combined with productive labor and daily life, but it must not be confused with the practical significance of productive labor and daily life, which is only the origin of aesthetic feeling. In this way, the experience of beauty certainly includes the general experience of daily life, but it has a deeper and more unique connotation. Some people simply equate the experience of beauty with the general experience of life and try their best to render it in artistic creation.
The result can only be synonymous with naturalism, which is quite different from the understanding and creation of beauty. The experience of beauty is based on the objective existence of beauty.
Without the objective existence of beauty, no matter how you experience it, you can't feel it. But what makes beauty interesting is not what the aesthetic subject-man passively accepts, but what he actively discovers and supplements. Empathy and personal experience are the correct way to know beauty, which is the "intervention" in the experience of beauty. This kind of "intervention" is to devote oneself wholeheartedly to the experience of beauty. It includes aesthetic perception factor, aesthetic emotion factor, aesthetic comprehension factor and aesthetic behavior factor. Through the intervention of these factors, we can achieve a beautiful experience. Aesthetic feeling includes aesthetic feeling and perception. People must first have a relationship with the world around them through feeling and perception, which is the same feature in the whole process of human cognition. Marx once said: "The most beautiful music is meaningless to ears without musical sense." . ③ Emphasize the importance of aesthetic feeling. The characteristic of aesthetic feeling is to pay attention to the understanding of the formal sense of the beautiful object and the overall grasp of the appearance of things. Because it contains people's existing aesthetic experience, aesthetic knowledge, aesthetic taste and aesthetic attitude, the content of perception is attached with specific concepts and emotional meanings in the form of perception itself. Therefore, this perception is conscious, not passive, and it must have a sound socialized aesthetic organ. When we look at the barren Gobi, we will feel the sigh of "once the sea"; When we hear the violin Butterfly Lovers, we can't help but revel in it. With the ups and downs of melody, we feel the joys and sorrows of a pair of lovers. Aesthetic emotional factors also play an important role in the experience of beauty. On the one hand, it widely permeates the whole aesthetic process, on the other hand, it is an inducement to trigger other factors and plays a dynamic role. Bai Juyi said in "Ce Lin" sixty-nine: "When great mortals feel useless, they will be moved, and then they will sigh and chant", which fully affirmed the important role of emotion.
Aesthetic emotion often contains richer and deeper social content than daily emotion. It transcends narrow personal utility,
It has the characteristics of emotional re-experience combined with cold and heat. This "heat" is the "passion" for the experience of beauty, and this "cold" is the "rationality" for the experience of beauty. Pure passion can only be played as a sharp-edged emotional impulse, which affects the normal progress of a beautiful experience. Therefore, only rational passion can truly become the driving force of a beautiful experience. When we stood in front of Luo Zhongli's oil painting Father, we were moved to tears. This is because from this old farmer with a full face of Cang Sang, we can see the great personality strength of our parents who put up with hardships and silently contributed. When listening to Beethoven's symphony of destiny, we can't help feeling ups and downs. The passionate movement shows us the sadness and optimism of life. The significance of cognitive factors in the experience of beauty lies in directly transforming the "beauty" of concrete appearance into a rational understanding of "beauty" with the help of factors such as perception, emotion and imagination, without going through an intermediate stage. Yan Yu's exposition of "Wu Miao" in Cang Shi Lang Hua is actually aesthetic comprehension's best interpretation, that is, he directly understands and grasps the object through understanding and practice without interrupting his own feelings. It has the characteristics of "understandable but difficult to express" and is the result of the accumulation of human perceptual experience. Understanding can be an image beyond appearance or a "hidden voice". Shall we watch Xin Qiji's Fishing? "More Can Eliminate" first reflects the protagonist's sentimental mentality of cherishing spring and complaining about spring. "A thousand dollars to buy each other is like buying a gift. Who complains about this situation?" Stop dancing, can't you see that Yuhuan Yanfei is full of dust! Leisure is the most bitter, don't lean on the dangerous fence, on the setting sun, the willow is bright. "After reading this article, our feeling is-9 3-
The voice of a patriot with great ambition, talent and ambition. This is because we have got this understanding by integrating Xin Qiji's life, artistic creation characteristics and unique images of his works. The hero's longing and resentment for spring,
It shows Xin Qiji's ambivalence of loving and hating the Southern Song Dynasty, while Sunset and Willow satirize the bad king dynasty. The whole word shows injustice through its love for children. From this, we have a deep understanding of this word. In the experience of beauty, we sometimes feel that the experience process itself has a kind of beauty. This feeling seems to be not only in perception, emotion and cognition, but also a flowing state of emotion, reason, will and muscle movement, which is called aesthetic behavior factor here. Du Fu wrote in the poem "Looking at Yue": "When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can see that other mountains are short under the sky." It is a "behavioral" experience of beauty. Du Fu praised Mount Tai as "the creator has endowed all the mysterious nature here with grace", which made him feel "colorful clouds falling". Free and easy in my chest "made him feel better about climbing Mount Tai and the small world. All his feelings were born from Climbing Mount Tai.
. Some people are keen on football, not just
Just scoring a few goals is to show people's essential strength and realize a beautiful experience in this kind of hard work. In learning from Lei Feng, we experienced a profound beauty of helping others and being willing to contribute. In the construction of socialist cause, many people actively participate in the construction tide and regard it as the pursuit and practice of beauty. It can be seen that the experience of beauty is not only the activities of psychological functions such as perception, understanding and emotion, but also the whole-hearted behavior process including psychological activities. Third, other factors affecting aesthetic experience Other factors affecting aesthetic experience are the depth of aesthetic experience, * * * and creativity. The depth of aesthetic experience means that different subjects and different times often have different experiences of the same kind of beauty, sometimes deep and sometimes superficial, and the reason for this inconsistency is closely related to the different depth of experience. This deep experience of beauty is called "depth" for short. Mao Dun loudly praised the poplars on the roadside. Liu imagined it from watching the sunrise, which may seem unremarkable to some people. Yan Zeng, a famous painter in Tang Dynasty, saw the works of Zhang Sengyou, a painter of Liang Dynasty, in Jingzhou. At first glance, he still can't understand the benefits of Zhang's painting and thinks that Zhang is "in name only". But when he went to see it again the next day, he found some benefits of the painting and said, "Such a painter should be considered a good hand in modern times!" " On the third day, the more I read it, the better I felt. I can't help saying, "What a great painter!" Finally, he simply didn't want to leave, so he lived under the painting and concentrated on it for more than ten days. Yan's different attitudes are caused by the depth of experience. Specifically, it affects the depth of aesthetic experience.
These factors include personal aesthetic sensory factors, personal aesthetic literacy factors, different emotional input and the influence of behavior process. There is a great difference in aesthetic experience between a person with healthy sensory organs and a person with impaired sensory organs. However, people's aesthetics, knowledge reserves and life experiences are different, and their aesthetic cultivation is also different.
. What Lu Xun said
: "Jiao Da of Jiafu doesn't love Sister Lin's either"; ④ It is about the difference of personal aesthetic quality. Aesthetic emotion also lies in aesthetic state of mind. It is difficult for people who are indifferent to everything to appreciate beauty. In order to improve the depth of aesthetic experience, aesthetic cultivation is improved through aesthetic education. In this way, we can gradually reach a profound understanding of beauty through the experience of beauty, at the same time consciously accept the education of beauty, gain an understanding of beauty and a certain theoretical level, and consciously integrate them into the experience of beauty, so as to gain a deeper understanding of beauty. The aesthetic is that beauty is social. Aesthetic feelings are shared, which in itself requires universal social recognition. Although people's feeling of beauty is first manifested as personal intuition, it contains universal social content, so it can produce a wide range of * * * sounds. Lu Xun created the artistic image of Ah Q in The True Story of Ah Q, which is highly typical and general. In Ah Q, through the blind arrogance, self-contempt, self-deception and self-indulgence in the illusory spiritual victory law, we see a national weakness that is common at all levels of the Chinese nation during the democratic revolution. As a typical example, Ah Q is a mirror for everyone in China, in which you can reflect your own or someone's image, which has a profound critical role. It transcends the work itself and has universal aesthetic significance. At the same time, I feel the author's real intention of strongly attacking feudal thought and feudal system, which has aroused widespread concern. When the majestic national anthem is played and the bright five-star red flag Ran Ran is raised, we are also in a wonderful experience. The five-star red flag is the symbol of China people.
The national flag of China exchanged by thousands of martyrs with their blood and lives symbolizes freedom and liberation, and symbolizes the dignity of our country and the unity of our nation. It is precisely because of these rich and touching contents, because we love our motherland, we have experienced a magnificent and proud beauty together. Some people take ugliness as beauty and indulge in it, but they go to the opposite side of beauty because they can't get universal recognition from society; Some old customs and habits in history were called beauty at that time, but they did not conform to the essence of beauty and tended to disappear with the improvement of people's understanding. On the contrary, the discovery of Venus with a broken arm made people see their own beauty and became the embodiment of "beauty" recognized by the world. Beauty comes from people's free and conscious practical activities and is the perceptual manifestation of people's essential strength. Because people's free and conscious activities are always creative and people's essential strength is positive, beauty is bound to be linked with people's social progress, which is fluid, dynamic and novel. Accordingly,
The process of aesthetic experience itself is constantly changing and developing.
It constantly puts forward new requirements and problems, and provides experience materials for solving new problems. This new requirement, new problems and new materials urge people to carry out new exploration and research.
. The experience of beauty promotes the re-understanding and re-creation of beauty, so it is creative. People often say that "there are a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets", which vividly illustrates the creativity of aesthetic experience. When Guo Moruo was in Japan, he was deeply moved by Whitman's Leaves of Grass.
He began to write unrestrained free poems, which laid a solid foundation for the publication of Goddess. Su Shi once passed by Chibi, when he was politically frustrated and inevitably had negative thoughts. However, when he was in the ancient battlefield of Chibi, his magnificent style greatly inspired his creative passion, and he wrote his masterpiece "Nostalgia for Chibi". To sum up, the study of beauty has existed since ancient times, but as a science, it is still very young and many problems have not been completely solved. Aesthetic experience is undoubtedly the key to solve these problems. Therefore, understanding the importance and characteristics of aesthetic experience is of great significance for us to understand, grasp and create beauty more deeply and comprehensively, and further make the understanding and practice of beauty play a great role in the construction of socialist spiritual civilization.
