Beauty, who doesn't love, who doesn't like? Especially in modern times, we pursue all kinds of beauty, such as: some brands of cosmetics, some diet pills, some plastic surgery, and strive to become beautiful. The existence of beauty, in fact, was realized long ago in ancient China. Confucius put forward the earliest thought of "beauty" in China culture, and linked beauty with goodness, which laid the foundation for the development of China culture in this field. Aesthetics, as an independent discipline, was first put forward by the German philosopher Baum Garden in his book Aesthetics in 1750. Plato's dialogue "The Great Hippocrates" is also the first article in western history that tries to define "beauty". Plato's two positions in this article, that is, there is beauty in all beautiful things, and beauty is the ultimate cause of all beautiful things, and this beauty should be defined, which has brought great influence to the later exploration of beauty by western philosophy and rational thinking, and determined the direction of exploration-what is "beauty itself". Began a long journey to define "beauty". From the 6th century to the 5th century BC, the phenomenon of beauty and the poetic world of art entered human thinking. 1735, the German philosopher Baumgarden published a paper "Philosophical Reflection on Poetry", which put forward the idea of establishing a special discipline "Aesthetics" for the first time, found a proper position for aesthetics and laid a philosophical foundation for aesthetics. Because aesthetic phenomena are closely related to feelings and senses, it helps people to understand, appreciate and create beauty. Improve people's aesthetic ability through aesthetic experience. For example, I saw a girl in the street and felt that her hair was as beautiful as a waterfall. If you look at it again, you will think that her hair is black and straight. At this time, I have entered to appreciate the beauty of her hair, which is actually pursued by many people. As an independent discipline, aesthetics provides rules for perceptual knowledge and explores "the perfection of perceptual knowledge"-beauty. His definition of "beauty" is "perfect sensibility" In fact, the determination of Baum Gardenxuan's aesthetics is not the most perfect, but after all, "aesthetics" has won a position in the whole knowledge system, and it is this position that provides a profound field for later aestheticians to display their talents. Aesthetics is actually to teach people to appreciate beauty. A song is beautiful, a flower is beautiful, and the red leaves in autumn are also beautiful. People have aesthetic activities on things, and aesthetic activities are the most basic part of human activities. Discover beauty through existing aesthetic activities, such as going on an outing with friends, in order to relax, absorb the fresh air of nature and enjoy the happiness of holidays. The original intention is not to engage in aesthetic activities, but it will be "ignored" when it comes to contact. The phenomenon of beauty is a human phenomenon, which only exists at the moment when there is an aesthetic relationship between people and things. Obviously, "beauty" is not known from books. As long as you have had a particularly unforgettable aesthetic experience at a certain time and place, you won't know about it. For example, you suddenly see a beautiful girl, a beautiful car, a beautiful hairstyle and so on. You will sincerely admire "how beautiful!" For the occurrence of specific aesthetic phenomena, there should be aesthetic activities first, and then aesthetic experience. But ... for specific experiencers, aesthetic experience in turn becomes the standard and witness of aesthetic activities. In any case, the formation process of aesthetic experience is the process of aesthetic activities, and aesthetic feeling is the result of aesthetic activities, not the other way around. In other words, on the basis of aesthetic experience, life is aestheticized. Beauty is different in everyone's psychological feelings, and the phenomenon of beauty is historic: First, the phenomenon of beauty changes with the times, and "fatness" is the best example of the phenomenon of beauty changing with the times. The changing history of any kind of art is actually the best proof that the phenomenon of beauty changes with the times. The beauty of ancient myths is completely different from that of modern novels. The aesthetic styles of ancient architecture and modern architecture are completely different. Every era has its own aesthetic fashion, and the change of clothing and decoration is the expression of this change. Second, the phenomenon of beauty varies from culture to culture. Human society has different cultures. We know that there are oriental culture, western culture, Hebrew culture, African culture, Indian culture, Egyptian culture, Arabic culture and so on. As far as eastern culture is concerned, there may be differences among Indian, China, Japanese and South Asia. Different cultures have different phenomena of beauty. For example, Westerners regard directness as beauty, while China people regard subtlety as beauty. China people like the expressive force of lines, while westerners like the beauty of modeling. Third, the phenomenon of beauty varies from person to person. Different people will have different aesthetic preferences. Some people like tragedy, others like comedy; Some people like the beauty of spring, some people like the clarity of autumn, and some people like the solemnity of winter. Similarly, reading the same dream of red mansions, different people will get different aesthetic experiences. These are the differences of beauty brought by personality. The same drama and poetry also have different aesthetic experiences. The purpose of aesthetic research is to know people's freedom from aesthetic activities, to know and improve aesthetic ability from aesthetic activities and to create a better life. An important purpose of aesthetic research is to learn aesthetic knowledge and cultivate everyone's aesthetic ability. This is an important aspect of humanistic quality. Who doesn't like beauty? We should turn our natural sensibility into conscious behavior and consciously build our beautiful day according to the scale of beauty, not only in art galleries, but also in cinemas and concert halls. In fact, everything in our daily life can be lived and felt according to the standard of beauty. By studying aesthetics, I know how to carry out aesthetic activities and feel and discover beauty with my own aesthetic experience.
