A poem that reflects the beauty of imperfection

God gave you a beautiful appearance, but not a broad mind; God gave you profound wisdom, but not a healthy body. The moon waxes and wanes, and the water overflows when it is full; honor and disgrace depend on each other, and blessing and misfortune depend on each other. As the saying goes, "No gold is pure, no man is perfect." Nothing is perfect. But this does not prevent us from creating and appreciating beauty, because imperfection is also a kind of beauty. When people talk about the beauty of mutilation, they will immediately think of Venus de Milo. In 1820 AD, on the Greek island of Milos, Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, returned to the world with shocking incompleteness. The Venus with Broken Arms, while its broken arm brings some shortcomings to people, more of it leaves people with flaws that are full of boundless imagination and "containing endless dreams" and have high aesthetic value, which has attracted some people's disapproval. The excitement and respect for this incomplete beauty even reached an unstoppable state. Undoubtedly, people's love for the broken-arm Venus certainly contains a deep exploration of beauty and rational thinking, but it is more of a reflection of people's social psychology. People often don't know how to cherish what they have already obtained, and only when it is lost do they suddenly discover its value. Therefore, incomplete beauty is ultimately a kind of blank beauty, a kind of vague beauty. Incompleteness is an objective existence, a natural misfortune, and a failure. For example, 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 to perfection. What incompleteness brings to the work is not a graceful 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 native of the Qing Dynasty, pointed out when talking about the natural state: "There is a created state and there is a written state. This is why the two schools of ideal and realism are divided. However, it is quite difficult to distinguish between the two. Because the state created by the great poet must be consistent. In nature, the scene written must be close to the ideal. "Incompleteness can bring beauty. The Venus de Milo is recognized by the world as the beauty of incompleteness, but the beauty is not the incompleteness, but the helpless sigh of the incompleteness. The Venus de Milo brings people the beauty of imagination and their pursuit of perfection. Beauty can be found in imperfection. "The moon waxes and wanes." The incompleteness of the moon shows a kind of process beauty. The moon has gone through the process from imperfection to perfection, and people have enjoyed the pursuit of perfection. Incompleteness can create beauty. "Thousand-Hand Guanyin" performed by deaf-mute people aroused great interest, but what it brought to people was the extraordinary expressiveness and hardships behind the scenes shown by the disabled people, and more importantly, people's amazement and admiration for the actors. Praise for his acting skills; Zidane's last game in the World Cup in Italy, that last move - topping Matlage, isn't it a kind of incomplete beauty? And what the world calls wonderful love - "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "Romeo and Juliet", "Titanic", it is precisely because of its incomplete ending that people can appreciate and daydream... The full moon is certainly pleasing to the eye, but why isn’t the crescent moon beautiful? The sun is bright, but how can the stars not be beautiful? The big trees are tall and tall, but how can the grass not be beautiful? Incompleteness is also a kind of beauty. It makes the souls of the suffering people sublime; it makes the lonely people hold up the moon of their souls; it makes the contradictory people realize the truth. Coffee without sugar is a defect, but such a defect makes it easier for people to taste sweetness; being unable to hear or speak is a defect, but such a defect makes life more beautiful; failure is a defect, But such incompleteness makes people cherish the short-term beauty of success even more!
