I. Recognizing Beauty in Chinese Characters
The upper part of the character for "beauty" in the oracle script is a bit like a sheep, but not like a sheep, which is an ornament on the top of a person's head; the lower part of the character is a "big", which is a "man" putting his hands on the top of his head. The lower part of the character is "大", which means "man" spreads his hands, but it indicates that he is elated. Against the rock paintings of Cangyuan in Yunnan Province, you can find pictures that match this glyph, and primitive people believe that the dance performance of tribal chiefs or sorcerers during rituals and witchcraft is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Some primitive tribes in the world still retain this headdress custom (refer to African tribal decoration).

Second, what is beauty?
Beauty, is a **** the same essential attributes of objective things that can cause people's sense of beauty. Beauty includes the beauty of life and the beauty of art two of the most important forms.
The beauty of life is divided into natural beauty and social beauty.
Natural beauty (the beauty of reality, the beauty of non-man-made purely naturally occurring things) (the beauty of the rising sun and evening sun, the moon and stars, flowers, plants, trees, birds, fish and insects, etc., is the beauty of natural phenomena and things that are not man-made.)
Social beauty (the beauty of man-made social things. (Such as the beauty of human behavior, the beauty of character and the beauty of the environment of society.)
Natural beauty and social beauty are closely related, not independent. Such as human physical beauty is natural beauty, behavioral beauty, character beauty belongs to the social beauty.
02 sense of beauty
The sense of beauty is the feeling or experience of beauty. In aesthetic activities, the subjective reflection, feeling, appreciation and evaluation of beauty. People have different degrees of aesthetic ability, some are innate factors, depending on the individual's ability to perceive. Some are acquired factors, which are generated and developed in social practice.
03 Aesthetics
1, 1750 German idealist philosopher Baumgarten published "Aesthetics", for the first time, aesthetics is an independent discipline, he pointed out that aesthetics not only refers to "the theory of the art of beauty", but also "to think in a beautiful way of art". Art".
2. Hegel pointed out that the proper name of aesthetics is "philosophy of art", precisely "philosophy of the art of beauty".
3, Marx believes that: human beings are in accordance with the laws of aesthetics to create beautiful things. Marxist aesthetics in the discussion of the nature of art, first emphasized the art as a superstructure for the economic base of the dependence: "people must first eat, live, drink, wear and then to engage in politics, science, art, religion and so on."
Third, the beauty from where the beauty from the beauty of the people and manifested
First, the beauty is not born from the beauty can not be separated from the viewer, and any viewing with creativity.
Second, beauty is not the same for anyone, the same external objects in front of different people show different scenes, generate different meanings. Ming Dynasty idealist thinker Wang Shouren that "there is nothing outside the heart", all things, including the beauty of things exist in the human subjective "heart", once he went out with a friend to see the flowers blossom among the rocks, friends asked: The friend asked: "There is nothing outside the heart, so the flowers and trees, in the mountains, bloom and fall, what is the relevance of my heart?" Wang Shouren replied, "When you do not see this flower, this flower and your heart are the same as silence; when you come to see this flower, then this flower is understood for a moment, and you will know that this flower is not outside your heart." This means that if one does not see the flower, the flower does not exist in one's mind; it is only when one looks at the flower that the flower becomes intelligible, and so it does not exist outside of one's mind. This is an open declaration of the view that "beauty lies in the heart".
Thirdly, beauty is historical. In different historical times, in different nations, in different classes, beauty is ****similar on the one hand and different on the other.
Fourth, the beauty of art in life, the beauty of life is everywhere: arts and crafts, architecture, music, dance, sculpture, painting, literature, theater, film, photography, calligraphy, opera, acrobatics and other art styles are many, dress up the beauty of ordinary every day.
The beauty of traditional Chinese colors. China's concept of color, painting color, clothing color, dyeing and weaving color, architectural painting, theatrical color, pigment technology and color application have a deep influence in the world. Ancient Chinese colors are divided into yin and yang, seasonal and orientation. The relationship between yin and yang is the most important aspect of color configuration, and who is yin and who is yang depends on the specific language environment and specific cultural background. The color scheme is based on seasons, directions and grades, as well as the birth, restraint, control and transformation between colors. Ancient color matching, love the contrasting juxtaposition effect, with special emphasis on the five positive colors, five colors between the configuration. Ancient people with color advocate distinct, with a single color for the cheap, to more color for the expensive, to color opposites for hobbies, to five colors ready for the color of the ultimate.
Court art with the destruction of the Qing Dynasty also popularized, from the Republic of China began to popularize the five colors to the folk, more and more intense. Make the whole nation's use of color has become vulgar, in ancient times the color of the purification of the technology is very poor, from the ore inside the direct extraction of color, color is particularly soft, magnetic, durable, but now the color is often overly bright, then with the appearance of vulgar. --Refer to Professor Pang De's "Chinese Color Configuration" Art beautifies the world Man has two major mental faculties, one is rationality and the other is sensibility. The representative of rationality is science, the representative of sensibility is art, science conquers the world, art beautifies the world. The two are like the two wheels of a car and the two wings of a bird. Aesthetics can communicate humanities and science. Suzhou Museum: Works of I.M. PeiThe design of Suzhou Museum combines the traditional Suzhou architectural style, placing the museum between courtyards and harmonizing the building with its surroundings. The main courtyard of the museum is tantamount to an extension and modern interpretation of the architectural style of the Humble Administrator's Garden to the north. The architecture of the Borrowed Landscape and Gardening Pavilion and innovative gardening are interdependent, and I.M. Pei designed a main courtyard and a number of smaller inner courtyards in an elaborate layout. Visitors can catch a glimpse of the water features of Jiangnan through the glass of the lobby, and the courtyard is directly connected to the supplementary garden of the Humble Administrator's Garden through the north wall, so that the old and the new gardens are integrated. The beauty of works of art outstanding works of literature and art not only pay attention to the beauty of shape, color, and in the intention also advocate the truth, goodness and beauty, can cause the viewer endless associations, bring the enlightenment of the United States. Learn to screen and reject low-grade, ugly and vulgarized works of literature and art. Enhance their own aesthetic sense, in the beauty of art works to cultivate sentiment.
Aesthetic education accompanies a person's life
PART 01 Infant and young children in the fetus, can perceive the outside world, so "fetal education" in the modern era is very prevalent." It is difficult to say how much the "fetal education" works, but it is true that the mother's ability to listen to beautiful music and to do things that keep her in a happy mood during the gestation period can have a good effect on the fetus. After the child is born, the mother's aesthetic education will be with her for the rest of her life. Especially in the pre-school stage, the mother's beauty of grooming, behavior, home environment, such as neat and beautiful influence on the child is crucial.
PART 02 Teenage period in adolescence, children receive the beauty of school education. School education focuses on children's character, thought, behavior, language and other aspects of education, in the school curriculum is also provided with music, art, calligraphy and other related courses. During the nine years of compulsory education and even during the university years, students are greatly influenced by the relevant programs in school and society. Parents should be careful to give their children the right amount of space for learning, neither imposing their own will on their children nor interfering with their normal hobbies, but letting their children grow freely in a natural way. There is more than one way to success. A child's success is often due to a relaxed and enlightened family and supportive parents and relatives. (Referring to the Fu Lei Family Book, allowing children to develop holistically is a truly successful education.) Beginning in 2020, music and art subjects will be included in secondary school examinations in many parts of the country. Music and art subjects are included in the compulsory education quality testing subjects.
PART 03 Adult StageThe adult stage is the stage of human struggle and the most utilitarian period of one's life. The pressure of life often prevents people from caring about faraway places and poetry. Therefore, in the exhausting life and work, it is very necessary to properly adjust the mood, create as comfortable and elegant environment as possible, and cultivate one or two hobbies that can relax the body and mind in your spare time. Art is the best way to relax. Calligraphy can meditate, music can be pleasant, painting can express emotions, poetry can let the heart free gallop ------ These can let us in the breathless busy life in the search for peace of mind, better recognize the direction of progress, the search for joy and happiness. "In the past, art could not be a meal, in the future, if you don't learn art, you may not have a meal!" --Ma Yun PART
04 middle-aged and old people "Art is an education about the aesthetics of life, but in China, art is more of an education for survival. Children study art mainly to get into a good university and find a good job. On the contrary, in senior universities, art education has returned to its essence." -- Ma Yun After middle age, as one's social duties fade, the retired group begins to return to humanistic education and begins to self-release. A large number of middle-aged and elderly people join square dances and choirs, and the calligraphy, painting and dance courses in senior universities become the preferred entertainment programs for middle-aged and elderly people. On the one hand, this is to fulfill the dream of their hobbies when they were young or even when they were children, and on the other hand, although "everyone is an artist" is strictly a pseudo-proposition, the need for everyone to express themselves artistically is real. Happiness is the ultimate pursuit of human culture, both ancient and modern.
Fifth, everyone can participate in the art of a perfect person to obtain a lifetime of happiness, not only to have the quality of obtaining the conditions of happiness, but also to have the quality of experiencing the feeling of a happy life. -- Zhou Haihong art in our lives, learn to sing a popular song, learn to use painting to express the beauty of what they see, with poetry to express what they think, with flowers to dress up their home environment ------ These are all the way to improve our perceptual qualities. Marx said: If you want to get the enjoyment of art, then you must be a person with artistic qualities. Art is never the art itself, it is the whole outlook of life.
Only when man is fully human does he play; only when man plays is he fully human. Only in art does man play; only in play is man free. ? -- Schiller (Germany) Art - everything is possible
