It is natural for a woman to sit in front of a mirror and wipe her face. However, if a gay man sits in front of the mirror and wipes his face every day, someone may laugh and make a comment in two words: "pervert".

All men and women are equal. How can a man love beauty and incur criticism?

In fact, there is nothing wrong with a man's whole face, and the ancients have long been involved in related missionary work. The most famous is Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong. He said, "With copper as a mirror, you can dress your clothes." Although his main purpose is to express the latter sentence, "take history as a mirror and you can know its rise and fall." But we can see from his previous words that men in the Tang Dynasty often look in the mirror, and the purpose of looking in the mirror is to dress appropriately and look beautiful.

In that case, I think a man's face should be aboveboard.

Sit down in front of the mirror when you have time, pat your face with water, wipe your face with oil, and press your temples to remove rough skin, so that your aging face looks youthful and radiant. What's wrong with it?

Imagine, when we walk in the street, are all the handsome men and beautiful women, a street, a city and a country full of light and vitality? Is the spirit of the whole society full of vigor and vitality?

Isn't it closer to the essence of civilization that human beings begin to transform and beautify their lives?

Beauty is a civilization. Beauty in architecture, music, painting and calligraphy. Are signs of civilization. The love of beauty is a spiritual movement to these symbols of civilization, and this spiritual movement is a process of building civilization. If you love it, you care about it and you cherish it. If you don't love it, you ignore it and you give up.

Men's plastic surgery, like women's, is the pursuit and care of beauty, and their own construction and beautification have reached the essence of civilization.

It's important to trim your face, but you need to trim your heart more. Because the face is only a representation after all. If the mind is not fixed and the face is seen through, it is not just a "pervert" but a "painted skin".

Come back, elf (love in China)

Qi Yujiang, People's Daily

I don't know when I began to like birds, foxes, weasels and other elves. This feeling has been getting stronger and stronger recently. Because I have lived in the city for a long time and can't see them, I often subconsciously run to the countryside. Somehow, I always feel that pigeons, crows, magpies and pheasants are far less. Magpies seem to be less and less, but wild animals such as foxes, weasels, badgers and wolves are hard to find.

I remember when I was a child in the country, these elves were everywhere. At that time, I loved them very much! It should be said that the swallow was the first bird to announce spring, flapping its wings and hovering in front of people; Sometimes they jump into the air gently, and sometimes they almost crawl on the ground, passing through the house like arrows. In a few days, two swallows took turns to go back and forth, with mud balls in their mouths and velvet grass in their mouths, and built a nest under the eaves and even in the cave where their owners lived. Unconsciously, the swallow's "comfort zone" has been built and a new life has been born. That exquisite figure, black feathers and bright mouth.

Then the geese. Wild goose is a typical omnivorous aquatic migratory bird, which feeds on non-toxic and tasteless grains, wild vegetables, grass and snails, and its habitat changes with the seasons. In spring and summer, they generally live in Siberia and other northern areas, and are also distributed in Ningxia, Inner Mongolia and Hetao areas in China. In autumn and winter, the wild geese fly south and settle in Jiangnan. The area north of Yan Hui Peak, the first peak of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, is the destination for geese to move south. Geese fly very fast, no matter from south to north or from north to south, they never rest on the way.

Then the cuckoo. Its exquisite, smart, gorgeous and beautiful posture often makes people stop to watch. "Goo goo", flying from one tree to another and from one mountain to another, constantly urges people to sow grain. At this time, the magpie is unwilling to be lonely, flying around the house, chirping and screaming, with a white belly and a black back, a long nose and a long tail. In a few days, they began to build shacks on high branches. In order to avoid too much northwest wind and northwest thunderstorm, they deliberately turned their nests to the south. "Husband and wife" cooperate tacitly, and they get firewood, mud balls and fluff, which embodies their hard work and sweat! Nest after nest moves infinitely. Magpie is a kind of beneficial bird, which never competes for crops, does no harm to human beings, but often brings good news to people. When I was a child, whenever magpies kept chirping in the tree in front of my house, my mother would laugh and say that there was a happy event or a distinguished guest came at home. I didn't believe it at first, but it often came true. The most mysterious and touching thing is that adults often say that every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Take Tianhe Bridge for example, the annual meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Only when the overpass was demolished on July 15 can they return to the world. It is also said that when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet and separate, they will both be in Lacrimosa. Whenever this season comes, I will observe it carefully. Strange to say, it's really hard to see magpies these days. Even if I see a few occasionally, I will be depressed and sick. It really rained.

But now, some of these lovely elves are hard to see, while others will never be seen again. First, due to ecological imbalance, their living environment was seriously damaged, and the original biological chain was torn and unable to survive, so they had to say goodbye with tears and move away; Others are difficult to carry on the family line and naturally disappear! Second, the idle scum seems to have a natural problem with these lovely elves. They carry shotguns, condoms and poison all day, go up and down the mountain, go door to door, stare at the elves, shoot black guns, set traps and poison them, and how many elves are killed by these people!

Come back, my lovely soul!

Sun Daolin's Dictionary (all of my heart Xiang)

Zhao Jiayao People's Daily (March 02, 2009 16 Edition)

No.30 Sanjiao Street, Xujiahui, Shanghai, a small recording studio of Shanghai Haiyan Film Studio more than 30 years ago.

At this moment, the red light inside and outside the shed that says "record" suddenly lights up, and the bell that needs to be recorded immediately is ringing loudly, and the heavy iron gate "bang!" When the floor is closed, all the cast members involved in recording and dubbing stop walking and make all the noises, so as to prepare the commentary for the revised large-scale art documentary "Battle Hymn of Daqing". Just when people almost held their breath, someone said that there was something wrong with one sentence in the commentary, so the dubbing work had to be interrupted. The sound engineer at the scene, the projectionist in the computer room, the sitting audience and others can't help but look at each other in surprise. Some people say that the word "rod" of drill pipe and handle held by Wang Jinxi, a pacesetter in Daqing Petroleum Battle, should be the third sound of "G m: n", but Sun Daolin, a performance artist specially invited by Zhang Junxiang, the general director of the film, read it as the first sound of "gān". Everyone disagreed for a while, even a little embarrassed and boring. According to decades of reading habits, I also think that the word "rod" of "drill pipe" should be. Including a year and a half before and after the filming in Daqing Oilfield, as a member of the film's director group, Zhang Junxiang's assistant read it like this, and most of the cast members at the scene thought so, but in order to ensure accuracy, the recording work had to be suspended. At this time, Mr. Sun Daolin is an absolute minority. In order to convince everyone, he immediately took out an old Xinhua dictionary from his artificial leather handbag and quickly turned to the word "rod" for "drill pipe". However, smaller and shorter sticks or things like sticks, such as pens and drill pipes, had to read "g m \u n" for the third time. Teacher Dorian patiently and quietly improvised a lesson, and suddenly everyone was speechless and awed by him.

I was a movie fan when I was studying, and sometimes I scrimped and saved on breakfast. I watched several movies in a row on Saturday or Sunday afternoon. When you walk out of the cinema, it is difficult to tell the east, west, north and south at night, and you can't figure out where the door is. My mind still flashes with those people, events and conversations in the movie. I grew up watching these movies, but I saw their vivid images on the screen. Now I approach him face to face, and I sincerely feel that he is so serious. That's great. From this detail, I am thinking, it is not difficult to find the reason why he can achieve such brilliant achievements. Hamlet, the character in the film Revenge of the Prince dubbed by him, is still a classic teaching material, sound and picture teaching material for language skills and lines courses in film schools, drama schools and other film and television art schools, and no one has surpassed it so far. Regarding his dictionary search, I think he will probably look up this word when reading the commentary before dubbing. Although I was very nervous about dubbing at that time, I couldn't ask. At that time, the recording studio was dark except for a working light on the recording stage. I feel like a child who has done something wrong, and my face is burning. If an actor mispronounced a word or phrase, the director is responsible. At that time, director Zhang Junxiang didn't say anything, but he was quite happy. He looked at Mr. Dowling with admiration, and his inner monologue seemed to say that dubbing Dowling was definitely the right choice.

Decades have passed, although this small recording studio no longer exists. However, since then, when I made TV series, especially TV series, feature films, commercials and so on. Xinhua dictionary should be put in my bag every day. Whenever I encounter words that I don't understand or know correctly, I will turn them out and ask the silent "tutor", which always benefits me a lot. Since then, I have never voiced in TV series or other movies. Because the actor read the wrong words, he revised or rearranged them. Whenever they look up the standard pronunciation with Xinhua Dictionary, the humble image of the debut teacher often flashes in front of them. His rigorous style of striving for perfection in artistic creation left a deep impression on me, so that during my ten years of teaching film and television art performance classes, I took Mr. Daolin as an example and strictly demanded all students not to let typos get away with it, and asked them to read every word correctly, correctly, standardly and seriously.

Enlightenment from the Success of Pleasant Goat

Jianglin People's Daily (March 6, 2009 15 edition)

Since the domestic animated film Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf was released in domestic cinemas at the beginning of the year, the domestic box office has reached 80 million yuan by February 10, creating a box office myth of domestic small-budget animated films. The popularity of movies has also brought about the hot sales of related derivatives, which has produced extraordinary industrial extension value. At the same time, major domestic media have reported and paid attention to this, making the popularity of this film a cultural phenomenon and a public topic.

The success of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf depends on several factors. Cartoon image design is successful and humorous. The creative style, long-term brand effect, creative marketing strategy and rich and varied publicity methods of Xian Yi, Xian Yi, old and young ... No matter from the upstream of the animation industry chain-artistic creation or downstream-product terminal sales, the film has carried out beneficial exploration, accumulated successful experience and created a successful model for the development of China animation industry.

First, the domestic animation industry must establish original animation brands. One of the important reasons why Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf is warmly welcomed by children is that this animation brand has already had a strong influence. Thus, domestic animation creation must carefully design cartoon shapes, so that children in China can have their favorite local cartoon brands, so that china cartoon's image can finally go to the world.

Second, domestic animation design should pay attention to story. The core value of animation is story. The success of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf benefits from its humorous story and relaxed plot, which is very close to the life of teenagers now. China animation design must pay attention to stories, conduct detailed market research and carefully select themes to meet the psychological needs of various audiences.

Third, domestic animation creation should continue to carry forward the values of truth, goodness and beauty. Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf is full of optimism, positive attitude towards life, wit and humor of lambs, and profound friendship between lambs, which can be described as entertaining. China animation should choose more themes from China's 5,000-year history and culture, and carry forward the values of truth, goodness and beauty, so as to achieve the unity of social and economic benefits.

Fourth, the domestic animation industry should have a scientific industrial marketing model. The successful mode of foreign animation industry is to publish books, cartoons and TV series, distribute OVA theatrical version in the audio-visual market, and finally launch movies, which is conducive to controlling the return on investment. However, China's animation industry started late, product marketing and many other links are still immature, and the industry scale is small. Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf actively explores the road to success suitable for China market, and its industrial chain is relatively complete. The overall operation effect is quite remarkable. According to investors, the profit of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Big Wolf mainly depends on the sale of broadcasting rights, accounting for about 40%, books and videos accounting for about 10%, derivative products licensing accounting for about 20%, and others accounting for about 30%. Its successful marketing strategy has great reference significance for the development of domestic animation industry.

Fifth, the domestic animation industry should have a broader audience vision. The success of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf lies in breaking through the bottleneck of positioning young audiences in domestic animated films in the past, and letting people see the hope of domestic animated films, young and old Xian Yi. This shows that the development of animation industry should have a broader audience vision, and tap the market consumption potential by vigorously expanding the audience.

Sixth, the domestic animation industry still needs the strong support of national policies. It is the experience of many developed countries to promote the rapid development of animation industry as a strategic industry through timely and appropriate industrial policies. The notice of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) on applying for the project of supporting domestic original TV cartoons and domestic animation creators in 2008 gave material support to TV cartoon works and related creative talents recommended by SARFT, with a total amount of nearly 9 million yuan. It is the strong support of these national policies that makes animated films such as Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf popular. In the future, we should continue to increase policy-oriented financial support for the development of domestic original animation industry in order to gain further development momentum.

Early spring news

Zhao People's Daily (March 7, 2009 14 Edition)

The two sessions in Beijing are always in early spring. Although it was warm and cold at first, the cold in winter has passed, and nature reveals the meaning of spring bit by bit, giving people a surprise. In the past two years, I have written many words that like to read ancient poems, called Jade Chips Collection, some of which are related to spring. Those ancient poems describing the meaning of spring will still be sung today.

Warm winds in Xu Lai, melting ice and snow, the meaning of spring quietly spread on the earth. Where did the meaning of spring first appear? Su Dongpo has a famous saying, "Ducks are prophets of warm rivers", and ducks swimming in the river are the first to feel the warmth of spring. This is actually the poet's imagination. Su Dongpo's poems do not specifically describe how ducks perceive the meaning of spring, but it is so ingenious that it can remind people how the meaning of spring comes quietly. Ducks are exulting in the water. Readers can imagine for themselves that the spring water stirred by cheerful feet and wings is slowly coming with the warmth of spring. Su Dongpo wrote about the scene of early spring, and there is also a good line between the lines: "No one has seen the letter from Dongfeng, and there is a little bit of meaning, and there is lace on the willow." In these poems, the east wind is the messenger of early spring, blowing willow green flowers. Ducks play in the spring water, showing an instant scene, and the east wind broadcasts it.

In my memory, there are many beautiful sentences of ancient people describing the first spring of nature. In Li Bai's Poems on Palace, there are two sentences that are vividly written: "The cold is exhausted, and the spring breeze returns to the willow." The snow and ice in winter melt in the fragrance of plum blossoms, and the wicker blooms golden green in the warm spring breeze, which is also the earliest news of spring. The same artistic conception can be found in Li Bai's poems. "The east wind returns with the spring, and bloom is my branch" in Interview with the News, Interview with Hanmei, and Sunset Remembers the Mountain. In Du Fu's La Ri, there are also two wonderful poems, which have the same effect as Li Bai's poems: "Snow invades the mausoleum, belongs to the day lily, and the wicker leaks in spring." This kind of early spring poetry, Li Qingzhao also felt: "It's warm and cold at first, and the weather is sunny, which will break the ice. From the new green of willow tips, I found that spring has quietly returned. The same artistic conception can also be seen in the Song Dynasty poet Zhang Wei's Encounter in beginning of spring: "The law returns to the late frost, and the grass on earth knows the spring." "A grass and a tree on earth know the coming of spring" and "Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet" belong to similar ideas, and "A grass and a tree know" can also arouse readers' rich associations in the spring breeze.

Han Yu's "Chun Xue" also describes the scenery in early spring, but it is different: "There is no fragrance in the New Year, and grass buds first appear in February. Snow is too late for spring, so this is the first time in spring to see grass buds in the newly thawed fields. For those who long for spring, it is really not enough.

Many years ago, I wrote a group of short poems with the theme of early spring, each with six lines. When I wrote these poems, the spring of nature stirred in front of me, and ancient poems emerged in my heart. Among them, reed buds describe my feelings when I went to the countryside to "cut in line". Every early spring, when I see the reeds sprouting by the river, I always feel joy and hope:

It was the end of winter when it was unearthed.

Although the cold wind is still whistling by the river.

Slender buds can break through frozen soil,

What a powerful spring is beating underground.

Stop bemoaning your weakness,

Look at this life that grows everywhere in the wind.

Exploring the Harmonious Spirit of China Culture

Yun People's Daily (March 4, 2009, 08 edition 14)

The six-volume General History of Aesthetic Culture in China, edited by Mr. Zhou, is the first masterpiece in modern China to comprehensively and systematically explore and carry forward the harmonious tradition of China culture.

First of all, The General History clearly points out that the idea of harmony is one of the fundamental spirits and fine traditions in China culture, with the earliest origin and long duration. Huainanzi contains "harmony is precious" and Huangdi Neijing contains "harmony without difference", which shows that "harmony" has become the social ideal and value pursuit of our ancestors in ancient times. Music has become a major policy of governing the country and safeguarding the country. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Shi Bo put forward the famous assertion that "harmony without difference is impossible", and promoted "harmony" to a philosophical category. Confucius and his disciples advocated "courtesy is the most important", advocated "benevolence and love", and extended the "golden mean" to an ethical discourse of "supreme goodness". Sun Tzu's art of war says that "the weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as human harmony", and puts "human harmony" at the top of the three rivers. Taoism of Laozi and Zhuangzi pays more attention to the harmony between man and nature, and regards the harmony between man and nature as the highest realm of life pursuit. In the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu not only developed the idea of "harmony between man and nature", but also discussed its universality. It starts in the middle and ends in the middle, and the place of heaven and earth ends in the middle, and the place of harmony is also the place of heaven and earth. " This is the first time that China and the history of human thought put forward the absolute question of harmony, which greatly promoted the creative development of the theory of harmony. In Neo-Confucianism in Song and Yuan Dynasties, especially in Zhu's works, the thought of "harmony" was further systematized and summarized from the perspective of consciousness. From politics to daily life, the spirit of "harmony" has always been carried out. Until the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Wang Fuzhi still highly praised Zhu's orthodox position on the doctrine of the mean, resolutely "arrogated Zhu's truth" and continued to show the spirit of "harmony". This probably happened when Wang Guowei advocated sublimity and tragedy in modern times, while Lu Xun advocated "Moro's poetic power" and opposed "happy reunion".

Secondly, the general history not only shows the tradition of harmony in time, but also depicts the extensiveness and universality of the spirit of harmony in a vast space, which is like a cultural gene lurking in various forms and types of China culture. It is the universality of harmony that makes "wonderful workmanship" and "flat wheels" superb and reach a free aesthetic situation; It is the universality of harmony that makes square Chinese characters become a kind of Oracle Bone Inscriptions for viewing, creating a unique calligraphy art in the world and becoming a unique contribution of the Chinese nation to world culture; It is the universality of harmony that makes Laozi's "inaction" and Zhuangzi's "freedom" become aesthetic philosophy, and makes Confucius, who knows what he can't do, reach the aesthetic realm of life. It is the universality of harmony that breeds and nurtures China's literature and art, making it another unparalleled peak in the history of human art development after Greek art. 。

Third, the general history not only shows the tradition of harmonious spirit in general, but also runs through every case study. In this interaction between macro and micro, whole and individual, on the one hand, the harmonious connotation of various cultural phenomena has been further explored, which is unprecedented; On the one hand, they demonstrate and reflect each other, which makes people feel the profoundness of harmonious culture everywhere. For example, the book's aesthetic analysis and historical textual research on the Taiji diagram strongly illustrate that it is "the first picture of China's harmonious beauty", which is obviously an unprecedented innovation. For example, in the research of Lao Zi, Zhuangzi and Confucius, Lao Zi's "two don't harm each other" and "leave the bottom" are particularly emphasized. Confucius' "benevolence", "beauty" and "harmony" are intrinsically linked, and Confucius' thought is linked with his behavior and daily life. It is also insightful and distinctive to describe it as a complete aesthetic image of "Great Confucius".

Standing at the height of the overall development of human culture, General History examines the respective characteristics of Chinese and western cultures from a comparative perspective, and points out that western culture is "philosophy and aesthetics that tend to be objective", while China culture is a culture in which subject and object are integrated. The west is a philosophical and logical aesthetics that is biased towards beauty and truth, a culture that combines objectivity and truth, science and religion, while China is an aesthetic culture that is biased towards "beauty and goodness", a culture that is biased towards subjectivity and sociality, ethics and aesthetics; The west is an antagonistic culture of struggle, while China is a neutral culture of "complementary opposites", "mutual complementarity", "seeking common ground while reserving differences", "mutual tolerance", "survival" and "glory". "Neutralization" culture is the greatest contribution of China culture to the whole human culture.
