But I have never understood what the artistic conception conveyed by these two words is.
What kind of people or things or ideas are avant-garde?
What kind of clothes are fashionable?
In short, when I think about it, my mind is empty and blank.
What does avant-garde mean? Always with such confusion.
Later, I read an article about Li Yinhe and suddenly understood the meaning of avantgarde. It turns out that avant-garde is an advanced concept, concept and proposition, and it is a prediction of the future.
For example, Li Yinhe, a few decades ago, began to pay attention to homosexuality and began to speak for them, thinking that this group should be respected like heterosexuals. They are no different from ordinary people. Little did they know that people at that time regarded homosexuality as a disease; In addition, Li Yinhe also made remarks about women's freedom, autonomy and self, and now this thought has gradually become the mainstream of society.
Her avant-garde thought was out of tune with the mainstream thought of people at that time, so she was always criticized.
But it doesn't prevent her from being independent and sticking to her own ideas.
In retrospect, decades later, I looked at Li Yinhe again and found that she was such an avant-garde person.
For people like me, I know the avant-garde nature of a person, an event and an idea through backtracking.
Then those who have the avant-garde concept from the beginning, those who have insight into the future, and those who have special styles and tastes can identify such an avant-garde person, thing and thing from the beginning and follow it.
The premise of understanding avant-garde is: you must know what the general concept is, so that you can know the characteristics of different general concepts, and with the passage of time, this avant-garde concept will become the pioneer of people's advanced concepts, which represents a future.
Let's talk about fashion again
Fashion is also a concept that I will never understand. When people evaluate a person's clothes, they will say, Wow, this person is really fashionable. Especially some fashion bloggers and mainstream magazines often make such comments on someone's clothes.
But I still don't understand, what's the difference between A's dress and B's dress? How can I say that this person is fashionable? I still don't understand how to define this.
It was not until I saw an analysis of Kong Xiaozhen's clothes that I knew what fashion meant, such a concept, and suddenly understood the artistic conception of this fashion.
In the analysis of Kong Xiaozhen's articles, it is said that the clothes she wears always lead the trend, such as the clothes she wears in every play. When most people knew nothing about the future trend, Kong Xiaozhen had an insight into the future trend, such as wearing underwear outside producers and choker. And a lot of clothes will be all over the street in a year. But a year ago, it was still unknown and unknown. Of course, they are complementary. For example, because a person has insight into the trend, she always shows it to everyone. Conversely, when she becomes the embodiment of the trend, she will become the trend itself and lead the trend. Wearing clothes that others have not worn, combined with their own temperament and style, is dazzling in the crowd, which is fashion.
The premise of understanding fashion: we must understand what the general clothing is like, and fashion is also a kind of existence that contrasts with the ordinary present through insight into the future.
When I gradually understood these two concepts, I suddenly found that the combination of epiphany and time is a wonderful existence.
With this understanding of "time+insight", I suddenly feel more transparent when I look at people, things and things around me in turn.
The combination of these two phrases can bring infinite reverie, such as reading an article and asking questions:
If I have a chance to see the scene ten years later, even for a minute, then now I know what to do.
Einstein's general theory of relativity mentioned: "When the mass of matter is too large, it will cause the surrounding space-time to bend." So when a place has enough resources, will it cause time distortion? Judging from this sentence, "the future is here, but it is unevenly distributed." Now that the future is here, where is it?
What can you do if you want to stay ahead of time and gain insight into the future trend? What can be done immediately is:
Find those who have advanced insight, pay attention to their words, and help you see the farther future with their shoulders before you become an insightful person.
Find a city with more resources and more advanced consciousness, where you can live, work and grow, at least you can feel the rhythm and breath of the times faster.
Of course, relying on others is just the beginning. After all, you should make yourself such a visionary, forward-looking and insightful person.
