Beauty is one of the five categories of aesthetics. It can also be called soft, beautiful and elegant beauty, which is the most common form of aesthetic experience.

Kant pointed out in Critique of Judgment that aesthetic feeling includes four principles: no utilitarian interest, no purpose, universal validity of five concepts, and universal inevitability of no concept.

The main meaning is that beauty is an irrelevant but enjoyable experience. Although this experience has no clear purpose, it does not contradict and conflict with people's purpose. Although the realization of beauty is completely perceptual, it does not violate rational thinking or logical inevitability judgment, but is consistent.

ugly

Ugliness is one of the five categories of aesthetics. The aesthetic value of ugliness is mainly manifested in the following two aspects:

1, ugliness sets off beauty; It can not only highlight beauty, make it more striking and profound, but also expose the form and content of ugliness, and make aesthetic subjects pay more attention to beauty and hate ugliness in aesthetic practice.

2. Turn ugliness into beauty; Ugliness in real life has become artistic beauty through the active creation of artists. The ugly essence of things has not changed, but as an artistic image, it already has aesthetic significance and value.

arrogant

Sublime is one of the five categories of aesthetics. Sublime means that the object, with its rough and broad perceptual form, profound material strength and spiritual strength, and majestic momentum, gives people a shock to the soul, makes people soul-stirring, and then gets strong encouragement and agitation, which makes people feel admired and admired, thus enhancing and expanding people's spiritual realm.

In his book On Sublime, Ron Girnus of ancient Rome formally put forward the category of sublime and made a systematic exposition, which had a great influence in 17 and 18 centuries and became the bible of neoclassicists. In ancient Rome, Ron Girnus made a lofty appeal to the vulgar atmosphere at that time and to save the decadent wind of the times. The article requires lofty language and style, which comes from thought and heart. A work with lofty beauty must be "the echo of a great mind".

The author thinks that there are five aspects of sublimity: solemn and great thoughts, passionate feelings, rhetorical embellishment, elegant wording and dignified structure.

The word "sublime" is clearly used and juxtaposed with beauty, making them two basic categories in aesthetics.
