“The Pythagoreans’ 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 and believed that ‘beauty and pleasure are nothing but a relationship between our judgment and the object’.”

"Hume believes that the decisive factor in beauty lies in the 'original structure of human nature', customs or accidental moods."

"Kant's "Critique of Judgment" believes that aesthetic judgment is 'a judgment of a certain object or its method of expression based on the pleasure and displeasure of completely disinterested ideas', and is 'the only unique kind of judgment that does not care about interests.

The thrill of freedom'."

"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, objectified value."

"In "The Aesthetic Relationship between Art and Reality", Chernyshevsky proposed that 'beauty is life' and is free labor. He insisted that beauty and art come from real life, emphasized that the beauty of reality is higher than the beauty of art, and opposed pure beauty.

Art Theory.”

"Plekhanov pointed out in "Rediscussing the Art of Primitive Peoples" that people in society initially look at things and phenomena from a utilitarian point of view, and only later moved to an aesthetic point of view."

"He believes that the things that human beings find beautiful are those that are useful to him and are meaningful in the struggle for survival against nature and other social life."

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.

It is discovered through reflection. However, if there is no function underlying the pleasure of beauty, then things will not necessarily be beautiful. Beauty does not exist for people, but beauty exists for people."

Zhou Zhi also raised his glass, and everyone drank the wine for the third time: "Based on my personal creative experience, I don't agree with many of the opinions here. Let's use the Pythagorean school's 'Beauty is the harmony of numbers'

Taking this view as an example, it is obvious that this school of thought is suspected of cheating."

"The so-called harmony of numbers is itself an abstraction over concreteness. What is 'harmony'?"

“Our question is not that the ‘golden section’ can produce a ‘sense of harmony’, our question is ‘why can the golden section produce a sense of harmony’?”

"I personally believe that human beings' psychology of beauty is actually a kind of practice, a kind of satisfaction that comes from successfully using 'experience' to explain and deal with 'strangeness'."

"Human curiosity and exploration of the unknown is an instinct. When this instinct is satisfied, it can produce satisfaction and pleasure."

"And any sense of 'beauty' is actually a process of pleasant recognition from unfamiliarity to familiarity."

"Why is there such a big difference between when we read poetry and when we speak in daily life? It's because its structure, expression, and construction methods are different from daily speech. This is the feeling of strangeness."

"And this sense of strangeness is cleverly based on 'experience', that is, its basis is nothing more than words and grammar, and words and grammar are precisely things that we are very familiar with."

"This gives us 'methods and tools' to explore."

“Poetry is the sustenance and communication of emotions. When people read poetry, they are actually using their own existing experiences, ‘methods and tools’ to complete the process of communicating with ‘strangeness’.”

"Once you solve this problem, understand the artistic conception created by the poet, and feel his emotional expression, the exploration will be successful, the joy and satisfaction of the soul will arise, and the reader will think that this poem is beautiful."

"Why are Bai Juyi's poems popular in island countries? Because Bai Juyi's poems were the easiest to understand at the time. For Chinese people, Bai Juyi's poetry level is still not close to that of Li Du, but for the Japanese, such unfamiliarity

The feeling is just right.”

"Using this concept to apply this concept to the explanations of 'beauty' by philosophers throughout the ages, I found that it can be applied to almost all of them. Therefore, in my mind, the essence of beauty may be this."

YY

"Therefore, in all creations about 'beauty', being able to create this kind of 'strangeness' that is familiar to the public is almost half of the success."

"Eh? That makes sense." Manager Fei thought about it for a moment: "I can write another paper on literary aesthetics."

"There should be such a paper, right? It's just that I am ignorant and don't know." Zhou Zhi smiled.

"That is also self-respecting and complacent, and they 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 recorded in "Hipios the Great" that Socrates first proposed what beauty is.

It systematically discusses the nature of beauty, and finally admits that it has not been able to finally solve the problem of beauty, ending with 'Beauty is difficult'."

"So the matter of beauty cannot be explained clearly so far." Manager Fei also smiled and said: "In my opinion, Xiaolu's taste is very good."

"I think the exhibition is decorated according to the blue and gray tones of Xiaolu's office, and it should be very elegant with an exhibition of black and white photography."

"Well, in fact, you can also match it with some black and white art decorations to make the entire exhibition space echo the photography works on the wall." Zhou Zhi is also making suggestions.

Xiaoliujie imagined the scene of the exhibition in her mind, and poured wine for everyone with a smile: "So I still need to talk more with the experts. I did it based on my feeling, just what you and Jiuzi just discussed, Mr. Fei

A lot of it, I’ve never heard of it.”

Only then did Zhu Dazhang realize that the two of them were actually giving advice to his film festival. He picked up his wine glass: "This is too high-level. In the words of the news, this is called... reaching a theoretical level? Hahaha, in this way we can also

I feel more confident, come on, Teacher Fei, elbow, thank you very much!"

"Thank you very much. Get me some bottles of old sunflower." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "If they are all of the quality in this cup, the price will be 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 say the quantity."

"Two boxes of Qiba Sunflowers, one box of Bayi Yellow Sauce, and three boxes of Eight Three Five Stars."

Manager Fei shook his head when he heard this amount: "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 to mix Wuliangye and Laojiao." Zhou Zhi said: "It's still the same routine, to preserve the old wine with a content of more than 90%. Of course, if the quality is good enough, old brands from several counties

it is also fine."

"Why did you save so much wine?" Xiaoliujie was a little curious.
