Looking for famous quotes, ancient Chinese prose, and poems related to beauty

1 , "The five colors make people blind":

Laozi said, "The five colors make people blind" and "the five tones make people deaf", mainly based on his simple dialectical theory. Generally speaking, If the discussion of the "five colors" and "five tones" as the objects of appreciation of artistic beauty turns into excessive sensory enjoyment and unbridled satisfaction, the original intention of appreciating artistic beauty will be lost, and even its aesthetic value will be lost, and it will become a counterproductive thing. , mental burdens and aesthetic "disasters" that harm the body and mind.

In Lao Tzu's view, true beauty does not lie in external things such as sex, wealth, and honor, but can only be found in nature itself, which can be reflected through the approach of "seeing simplicity, embracing simplicity, and being less selfish and reticent" (Chapter 19). This kind of beauty is expressed as "big sounds sound, but elephants are invisible" (Forty-one Chapter). That is to say, the most perfect music is heard from a place without sound, and the most beautiful image appears from a place without image; once there are specific sounds and images, it destroys the perfection of nature. This is the beauty that conforms to the "Tao". These insights of Laozi come into contact with the issue of aesthetic realm, reveal an aesthetic experience in aesthetic activities that goes beyond the simple perception of art, and open up the ancient Chinese aesthetics pursuit of "nature", "true beauty", "meaning beyond words" and "full sound". The forerunner of theories such as "the beauty of beauty" also laid the foundation for Taoist aesthetics, which confronts the twin peaks of Confucian aesthetics.
