Chapter 376 Beauty and Wine
“The Pythagorean school’s theory of cosmic aesthetics, based on the study of mathematics, music and astronomy, believes that ‘beauty is the harmony of numbers’.”
"Descartes put forward the famous proposition 'I think, therefore I am' in Meditations on First Philosophy, believing that 'beauty and pleasure are nothing but a relationship between our judgment and the object'."
< br>"Hume believes that the decisive thing for beauty lies in the 'original structure of human nature', customs or accidental moods."
"Kant's "Critique of Judgment" believes that aesthetic judgment is 'relying on completely disinterested ideas' Pleasure and displeasure, a judgment of a certain object or its method of expression', is 'the only unique kind of free pleasure that does not care about interests'."
"Hegel pointed out in "Aesthetics": 'Beauty is the perceptual manifestation of the idea', and 'it is the coordination of the concept with itself in its objective existence that forms the essence of beauty'."
"Santayena mentioned in "The Sense of Beauty": Beauty is a positive, inherent, objective value."
"Chernyshevsky in "The Aesthetic Relationship between Art and Reality" He proposed that 'Beauty is life', which is free labor, and insisted that beauty and art are both It comes from real life, emphasizes the beauty of reality over the beauty of art, and opposes the theory of pure art. "
"Plekhanov pointed out in "Rediscussing the Art of Primitive Peoples": People in society initially look at things and phenomena. It was from a utilitarian point of view and later moved to an aesthetic point of view.”
“He believes that the things that humans consider beautiful are useful to them and have meaning in the struggle for survival against nature and other societies. Something.”
At the end, Manager Fei held up his wine glass and recited: "Utility is understood by reason, and beauty is understood by intuition. When people enjoy beauty, although they hardly think of function, function can be understood by science. However, if there is no function underlying the joy of beauty, then it will be discovered through reflection. Things are no longer beautiful. Beauty does not exist for people, but beauty exists for people."
Zhou Zhi also raised his cup, and everyone drank the wine for the third time: "From me. Based on my creative experience, I don’t agree with many of the opinions here. Let’s take the Pythagorean school’s “Beauty is Numbers” Taking the view of "harmony" as an example, it is obvious that this school is suspected of cheating. "
"The so-called harmony of numbers is itself an abstraction over concreteness. What is 'harmony'?"
< br>“Our problem is not that the ‘golden section’ can produce a ‘sense of harmony’, we Our question is, 'Why can the golden section give us a sense of harmony?'"
"I personally think that human beings' psychology of beauty is actually a kind of practice, which is to use 'experience' to explain and deal with 'strangeness'. A sense of satisfaction that comes from success. ”
"Human curiosity and exploration of the unknown is an instinct. When this instinct is satisfied, satisfaction and pleasure can occur."
"And any sense of 'beauty' is actually a transition from strangeness to A familiar, pleasurable process of cognition. ”
“Why is there such a big difference between reading poetry and speaking in daily life? It lies in its structure, expression, and creation. The way is different from daily speaking, which is the sense of strangeness.”
“And this sense of strangeness is cleverly based on ‘experience’, that is, its foundation is nothing more than words. And grammar, and words and grammar are just things that we are very familiar with."
"This gives us the 'methods and tools' that we can explore."
"Poetry is the sustenance and communication of emotions. When people read poetry, they are actually using their own existing experience, 'methods and tools' to complete the process of communicating with 'strangeness'."
"Once this problem is solved, the poet understands how to create If you feel his emotional expression, this exploration will be successful, and the reader will think that this poem is beautiful. "Why are Bai Juyi's poems popular in the island country?" It was the easiest to understand at the time, and for Chinese people Generally speaking, Bai Juyi's poetry level is still not as good as Li Du's, but for the Japanese, this sense of strangeness is just right."
"Use this concept to apply to the philosophy of the past. I found that almost all the explanations of "beauty" can be applied It has to go in, so in my heart, the essence of beauty may be this.”
“So in all creations about ‘beauty’, this kind of ‘strangeness’ that is familiar to the public can be created. It’s almost half done.”
"Eh? That makes sense." Manager Fei thought for a while: "I can write a paper on literary aesthetics again."
"I guess there should be such a paper, right?" It’s just that I am ignorant and don’t know.” Zhou Zhi smiled.
“That is self-reflection and self-reflection, which complement each other.”
“How can it be so easy.” Zhou Zhi smiled and said: “The ancient Greek philosophers Socrates and Plato have many discussions on beauty. Plato In "Hippias the Great", it is recorded that Socrates first raised the question of what beauty is, and said The essence of beauty was systematically discussed, and finally it was admitted that the problem of beauty could not be finally solved, ending with "Beauty is difficult" "So the matter of beauty cannot be explained clearly yet." The manager also smiled and said: "In my opinion, Xiaolu's taste is very good."
"I think the exhibition should be decorated according to the blue and gray tones of Xiaolu's office, and it should be very elegant with a black and white photography exhibition."
"Well, in fact, it can also be paired with some black and white art decorations to make it more elegant. The entire exhibition space echoes the photography on the wall. "Zhou Zhi is also making suggestions.
Xiao Liujie imagined the scene of the exhibition in her mind, and poured wine for everyone with a smile: "So I still need to chat more with the experts. I did it based on my feeling, just you, Teacher Fei I have never heard of the article that I just discussed with Zhu Dazhang."
Zhu Dazhang realized that the two of them were actually giving advice to his own film festival. Picking up the wine glass: "This is too high-end. In the words of the news, this is called... it has reached a theoretical level? Hahaha, this makes us more confident. Come on, Teacher Fei, thank you very much!" "
"Thank you very much, buy me some bottles of old sunflower." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "If they are all of the quality in this cup, the price is easy to say."
"Now the ex-factory price of this thing is 80, and the market price is 128. The elbow you want is a bit more expensive, especially the Qiba sunflower and Bayi yellow sauce. A bottle is more than 200."
“Just tell me the quantity.”
“Two boxes of Qiba sunflowers, one box of Bayi yellow sauce, and three boxes of Eighty-three and Five Stars.”
Manager Fei was stunned by the quantity. He shook his head: "This is more than fifteen thousand, I can't bear it. I still want it this year."
"It's still a little less. Give me the rest with Wuliangye and Laojiao." "Zhou Zhi said: "It's still the same routine. We need to preserve old wines with a content of more than 90%. Of course, if the quality is good enough, old brands from several counties are also acceptable."
"Why do you keep so much wine?" Xiaoliujie was a little curious.
