God has given you a beautiful appearance, but not a broad mind; God has given you profound wisdom, but not a healthy body. The moon waxes and wanes, and the water overflows; honor and disgrace. Dependent on each other, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. As the saying goes, "No gold is pure, and no one is perfect." Nothing is perfect.
But this does not prevent us from creating beauty and appreciating beauty, because imperfections It is also a kind of beauty.
When it comes to incomplete beauty, people will immediately think of Venus de Milo.
In 1820 AD, on the Greek island of Milos, love and beauty The goddess Venus returned to the world with a shocking mutilation. Although the broken arm of Venus brings people some shortcomings because of her broken arm, it is more full of boundless imagination and "contains endless dreams." The defects of high aesthetic value are left to people, which arouses some people's excitement and respect for this incomplete beauty to an unstoppable state.
There is no doubt that people are fond of Venus with a broken arm. Although it contains a deep exploration of beauty and rational thinking, it is more of a reflection of people's social psychology. People often do not know how to cherish what they have already obtained, and only when it is lost do they suddenly discover its value. Therefore, in the final analysis, incomplete beauty is a kind of blank beauty, a kind of vague beauty.
Incompleteness is not beauty. Incompleteness is an objective existence, a natural misfortune, and a failure. For example, a A stained calligraphy work, a painting with half of it torn off, or a handicraft with a corner cut off.
But incompleteness is the counterpart of perfection. What incompleteness brings to a work is not elegance. Display, but a strong contrast with beauty. The "white cloth" in calligraphy and the "remnant edge" in seal cutting are both typical incomplete creations. Wang Guowei, a man of the Qing Dynasty, pointed out when talking about Jingjing: "With creation, There is the realm of writing, which is why the two schools of ideal and realism are divided. However, it is quite difficult to distinguish between the two. This is because the realm created by the great poet must be in line with nature, and the realm he writes must be adjacent to the ideal."
Incompleteness is not beauty, but incompleteness can bring beauty. Venus de Milo is recognized by the world as the beauty of incompleteness, but the beauty is not the deformity, but the helpless sigh of the deformity. Venus de Milo brings People's imagination is about beauty, and it is people's pursuit of perfection.
Incompleteness is not beauty, but imperfection can gain beauty. "The moon waxes and wanes," and the incompleteness of the moon shows a kind of process beauty. The moon After experiencing the process from incompleteness to perfection, people will have the enjoyment of pursuing perfection.
Incompleteness is not beauty. But imperfection can create beauty. "Thousand-Hand Guanyin" performed by deaf-mute people aroused great enthusiasm interest, but what it brings to people is the extraordinary expressiveness and hardships behind the scenes shown by disabled people, and more importantly, people’s admiration for the actors and their acting skills.
There is no broad With your thoughts, you can show your beautiful face to your heart's content; without a healthy body, you can fully display your profound wisdom. When the moon is full, remember the moon's waning, and when the water is full, you are afraid of overflowing; glory always remembers shame; when blessings come, you should guard against disaster.< /p>
Incompleteness is not terrible. All we have to do is learn to appreciate beauty in imperfection, taste beauty, and create beauty.
