Chapter 2 Is childlike innocence the most beautiful?

The first part is childlike innocence the most beautiful? (1) I believe beauty is subjective.When you say something is beautiful, you are really only stating how you feel about that thing, not the objective quality of that thing.Beauty (or ugliness) is a kind of meaning, and all meanings are given by people.An object without the participation of a subject is meaningless, and it is even impossible to ask whether it has meaning or not.If you ask the other way around, what is the meaning of a subject without objective participation? It seems reasonable to ask, but I think this is another proposition, which is a proposition about existence. Without an object, there is no existence, because there is no object Therefore, the subject is not dependent on the emptiness that cannot be realized, and the absence of subject and object will become an absolute void and never exist.But the current proposition is the proposition when existence has been determined as the premise, that is to say, the subject and the object have been faced, where does the meaning come from? Where does the beauty come from? If it is the property of the object itself, it should be like a chemical element Similarly, if we get the same admiration under any microscope, if the admiration is different or even the opposite is scolded, we cannot believe that it is a property of the object itself.It would be fine if you say that this is a mistaken observation. Beauty is just such a mistaken observation.It is the endowment of different subjects and the different requirements of different perceptions.Pretty is not beauty.Everyone can agree that A is more beautiful than B, but it may not be recognized that A is more beautiful than B.Any girl with a little bit of charm is more beautiful than Rodin's "old whore", but the meaning of which is more beautiful is not necessarily the same, and it is probably the latter.Beauty only affects people's physical senses, and it is only the partial harmony of nature, while beauty involves the perception of the meaning of life. Partial disharmony can present a deeper and wider harmony in the overall meaning.Therefore, beauty is still endowed by people, and it is determined by the sublimation of people's perception of the meaning of life.An old prostitute standing on the street soliciting customers is probably extremely unattractive, but Rodin condenses all the meanings revealed by this life course in one shape, and the beauty is presented.Of course, if anyone only understands the meaning of life as sensuality, high-ranking officials and generous salary, the beauty of the "old whore" will not be able to be presented to anyone.Beauty is subjective, it is the pride and self-appreciation of people when they are in awe of the infinity of the universe and see their own unyielding creation and sublimation.

I almost feel that the above text is nonsense, because the matter is too obvious.But when it comes to writing, the above questions seem to be less clear, at least you understand and I understand, but some people who care about us don't understand.For example: Why should someone dictate to us what to write and what not to write? Of course it would be possible if the US list came from his own brain, but no one believes that this is possible.If beauty is the only bowl of rice, he will lock this bowl of rice in his own cupboard, and on happy days, he will graciously put some in our bowl for us to taste, if this is the case, of course it has to be like this.But alas, this is not the case.Unfortunately, Mei is not such a bowl of rice.Beauty is something that every spirit has the ability to develop and has the right to create. Why should we let you tell us? Especially why should we be limited by you? Another example is to go deep into life. How can we say that we have spent half our lives here? Life is not an in-depth life, but staying in a certain place for three months is in-depth instead? The factory manager knows where there are special products and asks the buyers to contact them to purchase goods. Li Siguang knows where there is oil and takes the workers to drill wells. good effect.But beauty is neither a native product nor a mineral. There is beauty everywhere. Just like everyone can be a Buddha, beauty permeates the spirit.The more the soul longing for freedom can enjoy freedom there, the more the beauty there will be thickened, and the beauty will become thinner in the opposite place.Furthermore, the thickness or thinness of beauty depends on whether the human spirit is strong or weak, unyielding or enslaved, pure or dirty, growing and creating or drying up and shrinking, regardless of location.You are escorted to hell, you can also ignite a tragic fire, you can go to heaven by chance, or you may just be a Zhu Bajie who molested a fairy.Like the usual logic when it comes to truth, beauty is also in the process of exploration and creation. She is not owned by anyone and therefore cannot be forced by anyone. "Marshal of the Canopy" wanted to seize the beauty of good fortune, but ended up with a long mouth and big ears, which became a joke in the world.

In addition to not being afraid of power and not taking pleasure in things, the United States cannot tolerate cunning and intellectual fools.She is the world, she is the child—the reason for the beauty of primitive art is probably this. They wake up from innocent dreams, have not been contaminated by power, material desires, and scheming, and only believe in the perception of their own hearts. , praising life, fearing impermanence, praying for singing and dancing, all of which are blindly pure and fresh.And once primitive art becomes fashionable, it is played and shown off by others, really, it always reminds people of hooligans.Unless she is tremblingly held in the bosom of a true connoisseur and solemnly inherited by a true creator! Primitive art is anxiously watching what path her children and grandchildren will take.As for the children and grandchildren, they think of the childhood of human beings as if saying goodbye to their parents. Seeing the barrenness in front of them and behind them, they take over the dream of their ancestors. This dream is to open a road to freedom and happiness—it is so simple and so endless endless road.

9. Is childlike innocence the most beautiful? If people don't grow up, childlike innocence is the most beautiful and has always been the most beautiful.It's a pity that people have to grow up after all, and they have to go through various civilizations to walk from primitive simplicity, and childlike innocence is not enough.It is common for the simple and simple countryside to become restless once exposed to the civilization of the outside world; it is common for honest peasants to become cunning and cunning once they are infected by the tricks of businessmen.Childlike innocence is beautiful but delicate and unreliable.In the Chinese cultural tradition, there is a tendency not to let children grow up because they are afraid that they will lose their simplicity when they grow up. This is a very bad thing.I wrote this in another article: "Those who try to avoid pain by reducing their desires take a step back to find harmony. It is still dead, and what you find is not harmony but destruction. China's backwardness for thousands of years must be related to this, such as "the people can let them do what they want, but they can't make them know", such as closing themselves to the outside world, and for example, if love is accompanied by pain, it is better not to have it. If there are rapists in the world, they will hate why everyone in the world is not all eunuchs. Another culture in the world advocates to go further to find harmony, and go further, so it is far ahead of us, and Every time you take a step, you will find a step of harmony, and you will always be in harmony if you take a step forward." I think this is one of the biggest differences between Eastern and Western cultures.Let the children grow up, and let them walk into the alienated wasteland with ancient dreams, and they are doomed.True understanding is gained when they return to the world after having soared into the intellectual sky on the wings of ambition.They are no longer complacent about the majestic mountains and rivers after going through catastrophe. They know that suffering is boundless, that joy is an endless transcendence, that the purpose is the process, that happiness lies in the sublimation and perfection of the self, and that material things are nothing but set up for the realization of the spirit. Those who don't know are still able to compete with the infinite idealism. At that time, they have grown up and returned to the mortal world under the earth.Although they have grown up, they still have childlike innocence and frustration. They still seem to be pursuing pursuits as before, but their expressions are calm and their steps are free, and they have finally guessed the riddle of the Sphinx.They are invisible in the grand symphony of the universe, only greedily blowing their trumpets or playing the cello, high and beautiful, sad and beautiful, under the command of the God of Nature, they sweat profusely, become intoxicated until they die in it.This is no longer just the beauty of childlike innocence, but the wisdom of mature people.

The first part is childlike innocence the most beautiful? (2) At this time, when we look back at the primitive art, we will not flock to wild places to think it is fashionable, and we will not coquettishly adorn our bodies with ancient relics. At this time, they have experienced the dream of their ancestors, and then What came here is not so much a legacy but rather a starting point, and then set off on the road, wandering and creating. 10. Humanitarianism. I had several brief arguments with a friend about humanitarianism.I said humanitarianism is excellent, he said humanitarianism is not enough.For a moment I really thought I saw a ghost.After talking about it, I finally realized that the reason why he said it was not enough was because the old humanitarianism had been established to have only such connotations: saving the dying, helping the poor, caring for the orphans and widows, and so on.This is obviously not enough.The excellent humanitarianism we are talking about is this: not only caring for the human body, but also respecting and advocating the realization of human spiritual freedom.If we only revive the dying and heal the wounds of the body, but dry or freeze the fresh spirit, or lock it up and lead it through the streets, or impose all kinds of interference on it so that it cannot freely stretch It is the greatest inhumanity.The fundamental symbol of human beings is spirit, so humanitarianism should be the main aspect of this.So my friend said to me: Since you understand this way, you should not use the old concept, but give it a new name so as to distinguish it from the connotation limited by the old concept.I think he is right.But I can't think of a new name anyway.Until one day I read a book about Akira Kurosawa's film, which used the concept of "Kongkan Humanism", and then I realized that I had a clue.The so-called "empty humanism" roughly means that all goals are emptiness, and life has only one real process, and in this process, only the step-by-step sublimation of the spirit is the meaning.This is consistent with my previous thinking.Now I think that only by paying more attention to the process can people pay more attention to the realization and sublimation of the spirit, and not be painfully bound by the possessive desire (that is, the purpose) of fame, fortune, and affection.Spiritual sublimation is purely an endless process, and one does not expect to stop at any goal, so one will not complain about what the heavens do not give, and the earth does not give back, and therefore one will not let hatred and tears clog up one's life in the midst of resentment.Although the physical body is also a process, but because it cannot be distinguished from dogs and others, the human process is basically a mental process.But this "empty view" alone seems not enough.Although the goal is empty, it must be set. Otherwise, where will the process lead? How can a process that leads nowhere be a process? Without a goal that haunts our dreams, how can we pursue it with passion and passion? What does the spirit rely on for this pursuit to achieve its glorious realization? If we do not believe that the purpose is true, we will be hopeless and sluggish.If we don't understand that the purpose is empty, we will be unable to escape despair in the end, neither can we enjoy the process of struggle, nor can we face death without shock or regret.This is really a dilemma.Maybe we have to do both.This reminds me of mythology.When we listen to a myth or tell a myth, we know it is fiction, and we sink into it with all our hearts, and we are sad and happy with it, happy and angry with it, and we are all serious.Maybe this is "Buddhism is not Buddhism, but Buddhism is also".Myths are not myths, and myths are also—we wake up from the primitive dream, and the world is extremely lonely, so we start to tell a moving myth to infuse life into spirits, and thousands of little people made of mud really come alive. Go, earnestly run towards that myth, and life will gain real joy.That's it.But I don't know what to call it, mythical humanism? Aesthetic humanism? Spiritual humanism? Empty humanism? I don't know.But one thing is clear: the second worst thing in Chinese traditional culture is that it only regards human life as a biological process, and only treats people as social tools, without respecting the freedom and realization of spiritual freedom. It shouldn't be like this.

Speaking of tradition, perhaps it should not be understood as a source, but as a stream.For example, what the original words of Lao Tzu actually mean is not important, what is important is the meaning in which they have functioned in thousands of years of history.Another advantage of understanding it as a flow is that it still needs to develop and flow, and it must also play a role in an organic structure, instead of bringing out old things and rigidly patching them together in reality. The above words have nothing to do with the word "academic". I have always been in awe of those two words and dare not associate with them. At this time, a friend came and conveyed to me the teachings of a famous person: "When a person thinks, God just laughs." I think I can title this mumbling to myself as "Answering Myself", and I am very happy to publish it for God and the people to laugh at.

I suddenly remembered a commentary in a TV film: "One day, all wild animals that are domesticated in cages will be far away from humans, and they will reproduce their free life in ancient times. That day is the festival of wild animals. I think that day will also be a festival for human beings. People no longer want to rule the world, but live in harmony with all things on an equal footing. People will no longer make their own cages, and their spirit will be like the wild animals that celebrate festivals. Run as freely as animals.For example: a mole muttering in the ground, a goshawk laughing in the sky, how normal this is, the tyrant who occupies the truth no longer exists.
