Aesthetics as an independent discipline itself began to take charge of the gateway, with its own research objects and disciplinary issues.

It is early fall, the wind caresses the hair on the skin, softly, like a young girl caressing her child, a little excited, mixed with a little bit of lovely. I walked aimlessly in the district of the boulevard, the layout of the district is concentric circles, the outer circle is a European-style fence, the center is located in the red wall green tile built into the residence, but the great interest is, from the guards walked in, the first into the eyes of the sky of the trees, when you carefully found that slipped the little white dog how to turn into a plaque of dogs, raise your head, like the shape of a pentagram of large leaves grouped together next to Covered a piece of the sky, but the aesthetics of life is here, the leaves did not cover the sky in the ancient text, they stayed in the lovely gap, so that small prayers for happiness people can look at the sky, I do not know why, I see this scene, there is a kind of stars in the sky full of instant feeling, only the white clouds and the blue sky is my stars, and delightful green is my black night sky, the Xu Xu evening wind chased, the pentagrams dance Elegant dance, they lightly dance body, sometimes this side of the girl show sleeves, that side of the boy can not resist the response mood ~

Farewell to the group of energetic teenagers, I step forward again. Walked to the inner circle of the four points to three, towards the inside, that is a fitness place, think of their own lazy and do not realize, look at the body fat grease, fortunately, is a white fat, the first to go to a simple walking machine, the vitality of the essence of the blood of the machine to play on a one. There are some tired, move to the lake on a stone chair, enjoy the scenery, far from the original place where I stayed by a group of breastfeeding children to occupy, they ran, jumping, quite the Monkey King and all the monkeys in the Huaguo Mountain group of demons. Under the pavilion sat a few old people, mostly women, look at them talk happily look, is discussing new recipes, or, together with their memories, plain as jade era, lamenting the change of the times so that people can not keep up with the footsteps. Retracted his eyes, look near the small lake in a few fountains, long and thin column of water from the lake spray, with a perfect parabola into the bottom of the lake, I saw was sent up to the highest drop of water refracted with the beautiful evening sun, with the momentum of the Dragon Gate Carp Leap, but helpless because of the air resistance into the water surface, stirring up a few ripples, the eyes stayed in the one that constantly want to rush up to the sky but ultimately and other drops of the same home droplets, I can not help but Some praise, some admiration, some envy. I moved away again, to observe a pink bud in the lake in the middle of the small lotus, look at her tightly held together, as if she knew that growth will hurt, stubbornly pouting to the side of the world that nurtured her: "I do not want to open, I do not want to be folded." Can't help but think of this sentence: life is a thousand-petaled red lotus, if my heart refuses to open, then, at the same time, also refused to wither and wither. The lake is surrounded by weeping willows, pine trees and hazelnut trees, the wind rises, the tourists drunk, I am like a misplaced in the peach blossom garden of the Jin people, however, this is indeed the earth is also indeed my peach blossom garden ~

The night to, the rain is coming, I came to the window, and quietly watched, the family room of the clumps of bamboo in the rain washed out the color of more green.

The aesthetics of life lies in living, watching, thinking, and enjoying.

The aesthetics of life prose 2

Recently, especially restless, difficult to meditate, and then thought of reading some aesthetic books to calm the mind of the flashy, with pure music to feel the vitality of nature.

Baumstone, the father of modern aesthetics, said that great music is necessarily pure notes, and all lyrics are superfluous. Only pure music can give people unlimited space for imagination, and lyrics limit the listener's thinking. Feel the world of beauty in music, and recognize aesthetics in the taste of notes.

What is aesthetics

This is a very difficult topic, no one seems to be able to specifically say. Just as aestheticians often say, "Beauty is difficult," so is aesthetics, this elusive, lawless discipline, the world of purely perceptual understanding, it is difficult to define it. Generally speaking, aesthetics is the doctrine of all the knowledge of beauty and the exploration of beauty.

Aesthetics and we are far away, but everywhere. "This girl is very good-looking", this is about the exploration of beauty; "this movie is not good at all", this is also the scope of aesthetics.

In life, aesthetics is closely related to us and affects our work and life all the time. Cool hairstyle, beautiful clothes, exquisite gifts, high iphones, comfortable and clean office environment, beautiful things, always pleasing to the eye, people like.

What's the use of aesthetics

Although aesthetics is all around us, if you ask "what's the use of aesthetics", you can't really answer. This kind of sensibility, in the scientific and rational society, pragmatism and utilitarianism, aesthetics is undoubtedly a useless thing.

Aesthetics is not like science, mathematics and other natural sciences, but also compared to psychology, practical color is very light, a lot of verbosity, but can not give a clear answer, there is no standard, no logic. In the face of rationalism, the rhetoric of aesthetics is basically nonsense. This is the 'embarrassment' of aesthetics.

Aesthetics pursues perceptual awareness, and rationality is her arch-enemy. Aesthetics is like a young girl in her teenage years, pure and pure sensibility, exuding aestheticism, and in front of mature and rational people, it is a "silly white sweet" image.

However, is aesthetics really useless?

Obviously not.

Steve Jobs created the Apple line of cell phones by recognizing an underlying human need. The public like crazy after the Apple phone, the rhythm of changing one every year, the hands of the phone is still new, but then go to rush to buy Apple just out of the new models. This kind of irrational behavior is unbelievable in the eyes of rational people, and that is what makes it so lovely. Because of the emotional realization (that owning a new Apple phone is high class taste), it creates the splendor of Apple's dramatic growth.

Now craft aesthetics, from a craft design perspective, gives aesthetics a more realistic meaning. However, this is still a manifestation of pragmatism and utilitarianism, trying to make aesthetics a standardized way through craft standards, if not yet the essence of aesthetics.

The greatest use of aesthetics is humanistic care. The pursuit of goodness and beauty. From a humanistic point of view, the whole world with the experience of beauty. The pursuit of beauty in line with nature and human nature, and detest hypocrisy, greed and evil.

Re-conceptualizing Sensibility

When the whole earth is talking about the greatness of science, the pursuit of rational psychology, sensibility is very lost, aesthetics is inferior. Some time ago, the company training also said, "do not have the worry of sensibility", sensibility seems to have no place.

When we enjoy the convenience of science and technology, our humanities are dramatically degraded, and sensibility is shrinking. The popularity of cell phones and the Internet, and the widespread use of WeChat have made us closer to our friends, yet stranger. How many of us are friends who live in the WeChat circle of friends? Chatting on WeChat, but in real life can not meet face to face, meet also speechless situation?

We need to reacquaint ourselves with sensibility and recognize the role of sensibility. Recreation, family and friends, do something seemingly meaningless, may not be inferior to those high profile jobs. If life is nothing but rationality, nothing but work, and nothing but sensibility, what's the difference between a human being and a machine tool?

All the things that can stay, and sung permanently, must be emotional, not rational decisions. Passion, dare not ignore the impulse to pay at all costs and determination, perseverance, only for a belief in the choice and persistence, are all proud of our behavior, regardless of success or failure.

Only rational, that life is bound to be tasteless, life is no place to say. Respect for sensibility, is the flesh and blood of the true nature, can also move themselves, infected others, to become the beauty of the place.

We often recite Edison's "genius is 1% talent + 99% sweat". People value the back of the rational sweat, the usual publicity is 99% of the sweat, and ignore the importance of the emotional 1% of the talent. But Edison behind there is a sentence "without the 1% of talent, more sweat can not become a genius". It can be seen that the importance of talent, this kind of unattainable sensibility, is the key to determine whether to become a genius. People who work hard and sweat a lot can become talents (skilled laborers), but they can never become geniuses, because the talent of sensibility is not available to everyone.

Aesthetics and Art

Aesthetics is the discipline of sensibility, and sensual art is the closest connection, or rather, aesthetics is the study of art. Literature, poetry, music, painting, architecture, etc., in the arts are closely connected with aesthetics.

In poetry, the sensual is always higher than the rational. The popularity of a purely sensual poem must be greater than that of rational poems that make sense. That's why poets have to be romantic, to find beauty and poetry in the most ordinary life. We know Tang poems and Song lyrics, but there are many other poets who wrote poems during the Song Dynasty, but they are seldom mentioned, talking about Song lyrics. The reason is that Tang poetry speaks of love, Song poetry speaks of reason, and the achievement of Li Bai, the Poetry Immortal, is much greater than that of Du Fu, the Poetry Sage.

To write a good poem, it is necessary to have a certain emotional awareness. The more rationality there is, the less poetic (sensibility) there is bound to be.

Others, such as music, painting, etc., require more sensibility. The untraceable sensibility has created masters of music such as Beethoven and Mozart; the troubles of sensibility have created masters of art such as Van Gogh and Picasso. "Genius belongs only to art", Kant this is the supreme truth.

Aesthetics and us

In our daily life, it is always good to learn some aesthetics, which can improve our aesthetic ability and appreciation, according to the current popular saying, called "high style", "pretend to pretend to be There is a standard. This means that our taste in life should be more noble, and the level of enjoyment should be higher.

The taste for life and the level of enjoyment here refers to the spiritual realm and imagination, not just material and money can do. Spend a dollar to play everyone envy praise, which is called a level of taste; spend a million to play to give the feeling of the landlord tycoon behavior, that is called vulgar, is not high taste due to the so-called spend money to do a bad thing. Existing social aesthetics, the pursuit of elegant, aristocratic temperament taste, requires us to know some aesthetics.

Aesthetics regulates some of our social behavior, sensibility makes our life more colorful.

Psychology says that people are emotional 85% of the time, only 15% of the time is rational. Sensibility is so important, and recognizing it can help me do a lot of things well. Such as in lobbying people, we often say, to "move with emotion and reason", first of all, you have to impress people on the emotion, reason to say down, lobbying can be successful. Otherwise, even the best reasoning, said, are not very useful, and even to bear the strong words of sophistry, the reputation of being unforgiving.

Let aesthetics overflow our lives, be a happy and interesting people.
