Chapter 8 woman

woman Bai Shui is an honest person, but also an interesting person.When he is chatting, he can send out long speeches without end.This time, I heard from Mianzi that there was a magazine in Japan titled "Women? "The article is a record of several literati's conversations on the topic of "female".He said, "That's interesting, why don't we come too?" We said, "You come first!" He scratched his hair and said, "Okay! I'll come first; you don't want to run away." We knew him As usual, you can't stop talking.Sure enough, it took so much time to talk, so that others only had time to add, and there was no room for self-reporting.At that time, I was designated as a temporary secretary, and I wrote down what was said on the table.Now sort it out, it is the following article.Because most of them are Bai Shui's opinion, he used the first person pronoun as his self-report; I think Bai Shui probably wouldn't deny it, right?

To tell you the truth, I am a woman lover; I have always liked women from my national school days until now.Although I have never suffered any "women's troubles", I have often experienced the power of women.A woman is a magnet, and I am a piece of soft iron; for a fictitious or real woman, thinking about it for an hour or two, or even thinking about it for a week or two, is really ignorant-this kind of thing happens often of.Walking on the road, a woman came from far away, and my eyes were like bees sniffing the fragrance of flowers, and they rushed towards her.But I am very satisfied, for ordinary women, it is enough to look at it once or twice, and turn around once at most.Like a classmate of mine, when he met the opposite sex, he stood at attention—turned left or right, carefully used his two short-sighted eyes, and chased them out from under the glasses for half a day, then he couldn’t see, and then started walking —I don’t need it.There is a local saying in our place: "A good boy takes one look, but a fool sees it all night;" I'm probably always on the side of the "good boy".Wherever I go, I always look for women first with my eyes.In a train, I will go through several cars to find women; in a ship, I will go all over the ship to find women.When I couldn't find any women, I went to playgrounds, to temple fairs, and - I venture to add - to girls' schools; these are places where there are many women.So my eyes are even busier!I shuffled along with them, often until I was tired.

What is the woman I am looking for?What is the woman I have found?This is the woman of art.People of old compared woman to a flower, to a bird, to a lamb; they only said that woman is a work of art created by the hands of nature, to make men delight in admiration—just as the child of art is a creation of nature, to make men delight in admiration Same.Not only men enjoy admiration, but women also enjoy admiration; and "jealousy" is the other side of admiration, just as "love" is a side of admiration.It is not only women who receive joy and praise, but also men. "This willow is romantic and cute, just like Zhang Xu's back then," is a good example; and the phrase "Meifengyi" is especially "endless in history".But men seem to be less artistic; Jia Baoyu said it well: Men's bones are made of mud, while women's bones are made of water.Is this destiny?Or personnel?I don't know yet; it just feels so factual. ——Look, who doesn't use a woman as his model when he is learning the "study of the human body" in painting?Isn't this because women's curves are more lovely?We say that since the beginning of history, women have been more artistic than men; this sentence must be correct, right?So I say, artistic woman.The so-called artistic woman has three meanings: it is the most artistic among women, it is the artistic side of women, and it means that we see women through artistic eyes.When I say that women are more artistic than men, it is a general statement; when I say that women are the most artistic, it is an individual statement. ——And the word "art", I use its narrow sense, refers specifically to the art of the eye, which is in the same category as painting, sculpture, and dancing.An artistic woman is a woman with beautiful colors, outlines and movements, a woman whose appearance, figure, and posture make us feel "complete".Here is a natural boundary marker, and I'm only talking about virgins, young women, middle-aged women, those old ladies, corrupted by their age, on the way to withering and withering, in this one, already It's a laggard.The perfect appearance of a woman is only one of her "human appearances"; she may have great talent, great wisdom, great kindness, great courage, great chastity, etc., but nothing hinders this appearance.The various aspects can help this aspect to make it more fulfilling; this aspect can also help the various aspects to divide their perfection into them, and sometimes even cover their shortcomings.When we look at a woman, if we are attracted by her perfect appearance, we will disregard ourselves and everything about her, and just be intoxicated in it; this intoxication is momentary, indifferent, and in silence.

When we look at women, we look at them for joy rather than love.Love is total, joy is partial.Love is the integration of the whole "self" with the whole "self", so it is deep and long-lasting; joy is the fusion of fragments of "self", so it is shallow and erratic.Both of these are the taste of life and the attitude of life.But love is for people, but joy is for both people and things. ——In addition, there is "benevolence", which is the embrace of "people and things"; further, "heaven and earth live side by side with me, and all things are one with me", which is "divine love" and "great love" .This kind of love that does not belong to me is not what I want to talk about; but here I must set up a boundary marker. All great and solemn images, whether human or material, that can attract people's hearts must be for this kind of love; The scene begins at the threshold of "joy".As for love, it is based on the attraction of personality and is extremely possessive, which is different from the two. Mr. Y divides love and joy equally between people and things, thinking that "joy" only belongs to things, and "love" belongs to people; if you say "joy" to a person, you are contemptuous of his personality.Now many people also think that comparing a woman to a flower, a bird, or a lamb is an insult to a woman; praising a woman's figure is also an insult to a woman.So what?It is contempt for their personality!But I think if we can't exclude the "beauty of body" from our personality, we should slowly say this!And if beauty is a kind of value, if personality is built on the cornerstone of value, how can we reject the "beauty of body"?Therefore, I think that we only need to appreciate the artistic side of women as art, just like appreciating other beautiful natures; art and nature are "impersonal", so of course we cannot say "contempt" or not.From such a standpoint, comparing people to things, admiring them with joy, is a thousand miles away from the conventional attitude of playing tricks, and you should be able to acquit the world. ——It is contempt only when women are regarded as "playthings"; even in the so-called "love".Artistic woman, yes, artistic woman!We shall look upon her with amazed eyes, a miracle!

I have been looking at women for sixteen years now, and I have discovered one thing, that is, when appreciating women as art, you must not let her know; whether it is unfamiliar, it is more familiar.Because this will arouse her self-defensive shame or his disgust, her artistic taste will be diluted; and we are concerned about her shame or disgust, so we can't just watch and be content.So we have to appreciate in secret; art is secret, nature's creation is secret.But what kind of artistic woman do I like?You have to ask.Let me tell you: I have seen Western women, Japanese women, women from Jiangnan and Jiangbei, women from the city, and women who are famous in Zhejiang and East; but my vision is too narrow, I have only seen less than half a dozen works of art woman!And there is only one Westerner among them, not one Japanese!The Western virgin met her at the corner of a back alley in City Y, and passed by with a glimpse.The other two met on two trains, one watched for half a day and the other for two days; the other met in the countryside and watched for three months. ——I think that an artistic woman first has her gentle atmosphere; it makes people feel like listening to the melodious flute, smelling the fragrance of roses, and lying on a thick velvet blanket.She is as dense as water and as light as smoke, enveloping us; how can we not admire it with joy?This comes from her movements; every step she takes, she stretches her waist, she sweeps her temples, she blinks, she bows her head, even the slight movement of her clothes and the light dance of her skirts are like the flow of honey and the slight breeze of the wind. Yang; how can we not rejoice and praise?The most lovely thing is the soft waist; the ancients said that Linfeng's weeping willows, and Qingwen's "water snake waist", all refer to the soft waist; but the waist I like is almost the same as that of Suzhou. Like brown sugar, it makes my tongue sweet and my teeth soft.The waist is so soft, and the hands and feet seem to be elegant and extraordinary.Look how plump her shins are!From below the knee joint, it gradually bulges, like freshly steamed bread; then it gradually slows down.This shin is covered with stockings, light blue?or white?Pulled tightly, there are no creases, which makes the plump curves look fuller; and the gleaming fresh light can almost reflect the shadow of a person.Look up again, how fine her shoulders are!Like twin lambs, and like two jade peaks; it is as thin as the autumn mountains and as flat as the autumn waters.Above the shoulders is the "face" that most people sing and praise.What I can't forget the most is her pair of dove-like eyes, so bright that she seems to be talking to someone immediately.It is especially gratifying when you are sleepy and slightly tired, because you are just like a pair of sleeping brown pigeons.And the moist and reddish cheeks, shining like apples, just like the dawn and the setting sun, cleverly contrasting each other.Coupled with the thick and fluffy hair covering the forehead, like the chaotic clouds in the sky, it makes the embellishment more interesting.And her sweet smile is a lovely thing; a smile is a half-opened flower, in which poetry and picture and silent music flow.Yes, I’ve said too much; I don’t have to tell you what I saw, one person at a time, I just merge them into a Sketch① for you to see—this is the type of my surprise, that’s me The so-called artistic girl's model.But my vision is too narrow after all!After all, my vision is too narrow!

① English: Sketch. In women's gatherings, sometimes there is a gentle atmosphere; but it is only a general atmosphere, without detailed programs.Therefore, this is to be appreciated from a distance, which is different from individual views; if you look closely, the general atmosphere may disappear.Speaking of this artistic "Women's Gathering", I was thinking about what happened a few years ago.On a Sunday morning in P City, I went to worship in a large church; I heard that there were many women there, so I went to worship women.The church is separate for men and women.When I went, the women's seats were still empty, which seemed quite far away; my reverie filled every empty seat.Suddenly his eyes were dazzled, and in the thin fragrance, a group of women in white jackets, black vests, and black skirts walked in silently from a distance.I don't see God now, but these angels with wings!Another time on the lake in the evening, when the twilight merged, eight or nine girls in snow-white and white clothes were sitting in a yacht decorated with little red flowers; White.I think they are the goddesses of the lake, who temporarily show their hues in the world through the game of Samadhi!The third time, on a bridge in the middle of the lake, under the pale moon and light clouds, leaning on a dozen girls, also girls, hazy and white with the moon.In the shaking voice, I met the incarnation of Sister Yue again! —These are another type that I have discovered.

Yes, woman of art, that is a miracle! On February 15, 1925, White Horse Lake.
