Okakura Tenjin,/kloc-a Japanese aesthetician in the 9th century, translated びび into "perfection" in the book Tea Classics, which refers to the aesthetic imperfection in appearance. But this kind of translation was obviously misunderstood by us when we translated it again.

び was created by Rixiong Morino, a famous tea man in Japan during the Warring States Period. It is the combination of spirit and the beauty pursued by tea, and it is also the so-called stage. In Japanese, the original meaning is をそそぅに and をを. Ji can also be written as an old saying, meaning "old and unfamiliar". The original meaning of this word is of course from Chinese.

It was Matsuo Bashō, a haiku poet, who gradually developed a layer of aesthetic significance under the impetus of Nengli: a kind of beauty full of years from the appearance of old things (people); Even if the appearance is mottled or faded, it can't stop (or even strengthen) a shocking beauty.

Wabi-Sabi is an idea, an aesthetics and a world view. It is not a word directly translated from Japanese into English, and the idea behind it will not take root in the hearts of people who didn't know it before.

Simply put, it refers to an intuitive way of life, emphasizing the discovery of beauty in imperfection and accepting the natural cycle of birth, illness and death. The best way to understand loneliness is to accept this concept and start to pay attention to examples of loneliness in one's daily life.

The word gigi is not always connected. In Japanese, they can be used alone. Hey, rooted in a? Wow, a? , refers to harmony and tranquility. Its meaning has experienced development and change, from describing something sad and desolate to describing a state of intentional humility and harmony with nature.

Hey, a? Literally, a person can "do more with less money" and be satisfied with a life free from material constraints. Think of Thoreau, or the recent Cadillac, who recently talked about simple happiness in the The New York Times and his years of homelessness and freedom in several districts of new york.
