Beauty should be a kind of calmness in life, beauty should be a kind of leisure in life, and beauty should be a kind of open-mindedness in life. If you are in a state of anxiety and insecurity, it may be difficult for beauty to exist.
We must not forget that there is one word in Chinese characters that we should reflect on very much, which is the word "busy". If you are too busy, your mind will surely die.
I don’t know if you will feel that the mood of being close to water is indeed very different from that of being close to mountains. Water is softer, gentler, more submissive, and more calm and reflective. Mountains are relatively stable, majestic and majestic things. These two things bring out two different aesthetic experiences. Especially after the Southern Song Dynasty, because the capital was in Hangzhou, the so-called "Lin'an", its water experience was more obvious.
When human nature is as clear as water, you will see the most beautiful things, but when a person has a scheming mind, everything will disappear. This "mystery" is actually lost. Sometimes when I think back on my life, I feel that the so-called loss is due to persistence. Once you deliberately want something, you will never get it back.
He knows that he is as pure as water, so he doesn't care about the rumors that are circulating in the world. There are small flaws in human nature, and there are also small desires in human nature. They are fulfilling themselves and being genuine at the same time.
He wants to be a simple and true self. Sometimes I feel that I need to learn more from these young beings, because in the process of growing up and in the secular world, we have experienced too many power struggles between people, and we will gradually lose the most important thing about people. A simple belief in goodness and beauty.
Probably around the temple, it has become a center of life; I believe it is because there is tradition, history, and the center of faith. I always feel that when you have faith and a sense of history in your heart, even the taste of food will be different.
I believe that material things will never turn into truly beautiful things. Material things will become beautiful because people give a lot of emotions, that is, when you cook a dish with great care, you cook it very carefully. A shirt comes out of the wash, the love you put in makes the material beautiful.
Your eyes, your ears, your vision, your hearing, you can hear beautiful things, you can see beautiful things, you can even taste beautiful things when you cook a dish, this is life aesthetics. I will re-examine the role of "beauty" in real life from this starting point.
So I have always hoped that in the aesthetics of life, the beauty we want to emphasize is not just rushing to catch art opportunities, but being able to give yourself a space to calm down and reflect on your own feelings.
Rumors about "famous brands" are spread among people, and people rush to buy them. In the end, the true core value of the "famous brands" is often covered up.
Xu Bing's subversion of Chinese characters is reflected in his work "Analysis of the World" (also known as "Book of Heaven") in the 1980s.
Xu Bing carved more than 4,000 understandable Chinese characters in one day, printed the new characters he created on large sheets of continuous rice paper, and hung them all over the ceiling and four walls.
There is also a set of four traditional thread-bound books, printed in the Song Dynasty printing style, filled with these words that no one can understand.
The first exhibition of "Book from Heaven" was at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing in 1989. In 1994, Xu Bing created "square English calligraphy". He transformed 26 English letters into radicals similar to Chinese characters, then combined English single characters into square characters similar to Chinese characters, and wrote them in regular script with a brush.
Contrary to the "Heavenly Book" which appears to be readable but is actually unreadable, Square English characters are words that appear to be unreadable but are actually usable. For those who know English, the reading of Square English , writing are all very playful.
Things that exist in the universe often do not exist because we cannot see them; but things that seem not to exist will become existence if you care.
Life is a very long experience. Those who can feel the blooming of spring flowers must probably see the sadness of flowers withering at some point.
The ancients said: a flash in the pan. The reason why people admire the epiphyllum sincerely is probably because of its rapid withering. All beautiful things, because they cannot stay for a long time, make people linger and cannot bear to leave. No matter how much you feel regretful and attached to it, it will not hesitate and just wither away.
