1． Beauty is an integral part of specific things, and beauty cannot exist alone without specific things.

Beauty exists in individual specific environments, phenomena, things, behaviors, and objects. Beautiful scenery, beautiful wine, beautiful jade, beautiful things, and a beautiful life are all concrete things that contain beauty.

Zhuangzi pointed out: The great beauty of heaven and earth is not mentioned, the clear laws of the four seasons are not discussed, and the principles of all things are not explained. Great beauty, clear Dharma, and sound principles exist in heaven, earth, four seasons, and all things, and are an integral part of heaven, earth, four seasons, and all things.

There is great beauty in heaven and earth

Plato believes that beauty is not a specific thing of beauty. Beauty is an idea and the reason why beautiful specific things are beautiful.

Plato’s so-called ideas refer to the regulations, properties and components of specific things. They refer to the things that people distinguish, define, demonstrate and abstract from individual specific things through cognitive and practical activities. It includes two aspects: An abstract thing with one or more opposing components and names. Beauty is not the concrete thing of beauty, but the abstract thing contained in the concrete thing of beauty.

Beauty is the universal performance, universal essence and components of various beautiful specific things. Beauty is not all of the specific things that are beautiful, it is only a component of the specific things that are beautiful.

2. Beauty is the utilitarian performance, positive meaning and value of specific things that promote society and human survival and development.

Philosophical definition of value: Value is a component of specific things. It is the interactive and interrelated nature and ability of specific things. It is discovered from all specific things that people have experienced through cognitive and practical activities. It is an abstract thing and meta-ontology that is defined, manifested and abstracted, has certain boundaries, restrictions, regulations and naming, and contains two or more opposing components that cannot be felt but can be known.

Concrete things generally have the nature and ability to interact with each other. Natural things, environments, and phenomena have the nature and ability to affect human survival and development; humans have the nature and ability to transform the natural environment and change objective things; various chemical substances have the nature and ability to chemically react with each other and fuse to generate new substances.

People conventionally refer to the universal interaction, interrelated nature and ability of individual specific things as value. For example: use value, exchange value, labor value, chemical value, cultural value, religious value, etc. are all names and definitions of the nature and ability of interaction and interrelation that people have for individual specific things in their daily lives.

Elemental ontology is a component of natural things. It is a universal stipulation of all things experienced by human beings. It is discovered, defined, manifested and extracted from all experienced things by human beings through cognitive and practical activities. , has certain boundaries, restrictions, regulations and naming, contains two or more components of the unity of opposites, exists as both concrete things and abstract things, and is an ontological natural thing that cannot be felt but can be known.

Value is a meta-ontological thing that belongs to the same category as time, space, movement, matter, and spirit, and does not have the highest level of universality.

Value is a unity of opposites composed of positive value and negative value.

Everyone knows that some specific environments, phenomena, behaviors, things and objects are conducive to human survival and development, and have positive significance and value to human survival and development. Some specific environments, phenomena, behaviors, and things are harmful to society and human survival and development, and have negative significance and negative value to human survival and development. The significance and value of social and natural environments, phenomena, things, and behaviors to society and human survival and development is a unity composed of positive and negative meanings, positive and negative values.

Truth, goodness, and beauty are the special properties and abilities of specific things that are beneficial to society and human survival and development, and are the positive significance and positive value of specific things to human survival and development; falsehood, evil, and ugliness are The special properties and abilities of specific things that are harmful to society and human survival and development are the negative meaning and negative value of specific things to human survival and development.

Beauty is the positive value contained in specific things.

Beauty is a component of individual concrete things, one of the concrete existence and manifestations of value, a positive value that opposes negative values, and a relatively abstract thing or meta-entity that opposes ugliness.

The beauty of the environment, the beauty of behavior, the beauty of language, and the beauty of soul refer to the specific environment, specific behavior, specific language, and specific mind, which contain special properties and abilities that are beneficial to society and people's survival and development. Language and concrete soul have positive significance and value to society and the survival and development of the vast majority of people.

3． Beauty is a relatively abstract thing or meta-entity that exists in individual concrete things and is different from ugliness.

Beauty is a component or element of a concrete thing. It is an abstract thing containing two or more opposite parts that people extract from the concrete thing of beauty through cognitive and practical activities. Compared with the specific things of beauty, beauty contains less content and is more abstract. Beauty is a relatively abstract thing compared to the concrete things of beauty.

Philosophical definition of meta-entity: Meta-entity is a component of individual natural things, a universal stipulation of species or genus of individual natural things, and is discovered and discovered from natural things by human beings through cognitive and practical activities. Substantial natural things that are defined, manifested, and extracted, have certain boundaries, restrictions, regulations, and naming, and exist both as concrete things and as abstract things.

The cognitive objects expressed by ordinary nouns, verbs, adjectives, and quantifiers are all meta-entities.

The object of cognition expressed by the descriptive noun "beauty" is the same as the object of cognition expressed by the common nouns "people", "vegetables" and "fruit". They are the universal species or genus of specific things. Sexual regulations are physical natural things that people discover, know, distinguish, define, and abstract from individual concrete things. They exist as both concrete things and abstract things.

4. The sense of beauty is a special feeling produced by the human brain. It is a prerequisite for people to discover beauty in individual concrete things and to decompose and abstract beauty from individual concrete things.

Before the emergence of human beings in nature, the regulations, laws, properties and essence of individual specific things were like mineral deposits stored underground. They existed quietly in specific things and did not exist in a complete sense. There is no so-called value for abstract things, and there is no concrete existence and expression of values ??such as beauty and ugliness, good and bad, good and evil.

Artistic Beauty

After human beings appeared in nature, the various regulations, laws, properties and essences of specific things, and the truth, falsehood, beauty, ugliness and goodness of specific things , evil and other components have been gradually decomposed and abstracted from individual concrete things. The formation and emergence of value, beauty, ugliness, good, evil and other abstract things are closely related to individual concrete things, people's survival and development needs, and the thinking decomposition and abstract activities of the human brain.

When stimulated by information signals about specific external things from the sensory organs, the human brain will undergo some biochemical changes to form and produce a specific chemical substance or electrical signal, thereby affecting the body's functions. Changes occur in the organization concerned. This change will become a new source of information to stimulate the brain, causing the brain to pay attention and reflect. This is the physiological mechanism of the formation and production of the sense of beauty, which means that after people enjoy the sense of beauty, they reflect on the specific things that cause the sense of beauty, compare the specific things that cause the sense of beauty with related things they have experienced, and decompose and abstract from the specific things that cause the sense of beauty. Out of the beautiful special properties and prescribed principles.
