Looking for ancient texts, classical Chinese texts and famous aphorisms related to beauty.

1. "The five colors are blinding":

Laozi said, "The five colors are blinding" and "the five tones are deafening", mainly based on his simple dialectical theory. Generally speaking, If the discussion about the "five colors" and "five tones" as objects of artistic beauty appreciation 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 kind of Mental burdens and aesthetic "disasters" that backfire, harm the body and mind.

Laozi’s aesthetics is directly related to the doctrine of “Tao” in his philosophical outlook and the thought of “inaction” in his political outlook. He believes that any kind of beauty that "serves literary talent and carries a sharp sword" (Chapter 53), like all promising things, can only be harmful to people. The so-called "five colors make people blind, five sounds make people deaf, and five flavors make people deaf". The population is happy, and hunting in the fields makes people crazy" (Chapter 12), which all means that the beauty of "doing something" will inevitably damage human nature. In Lao Tzu's view, true beauty does not lie in external things such as sex, wealth, or 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 the place where there is no sound, and the most beautiful image appears from the place where there is no 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.

2. "Music comes from the heart":

"Music" has a penetrating discussion on the nature of music, affirming that music is an art that expresses emotions. It believes that:

“Every sound comes from the human heart, and the movement of the human heart is caused by things.”

“Every sound comes from the human heart, and emotions are moved in it, so Shape comes from sound: sound is written down, which is called sound."

Every one of the above can be seen as a system. Here are some sentences:

1. Seeing the dance "Da Wu", he said: 'How beautiful! The prosperity of Zhou Dynasty is like this! ’” "Historical Records·Wu Taibo Family" "

2. Beautiful and sweet. ——"Shuowen"

3. Plum blossoms are beautiful when they are curved, but they are beautyless when they are straight. ——Gong Zizhen's "Bing Mei Guan Ji"

4. "Zi said of Shao: 'It is perfectly beautiful, but it is also perfect.' He said of Wu: 'It is perfectly beautiful, but it is not perfect.' " "The Analects of Confucius·Bayi"

5. Zhong Rong's "Shipin" also systematically discusses beauty from the perspective of poetry. He opposed artificial rhythm, advocated natural rhythm, and maintained the natural beauty of poetry. Its "natural British meaning" refers to natural exquisiteness, that is, true beauty.
