Only such art can last forever.

Harmonious form

(Harmony is beauty)

Although people’s aesthetic habits, tastes and standards also vary due to differences in eras, nationalities and social forms. There are certain differences, but the essence of human body beauty - proportion and harmony, is eternal. For example: the head is 1/7 to 1/8 of the height; the widest part of the shoulders is 1/4 of the height; the front thickness of the thighs is equal to the width of the face... A person combined according to these principles will have a well-proportioned and harmonious body, exuding a pleasant atmosphere of beauty. The "Venus de Milo", known as a model of female bodybuilding, if scaled down to a woman with a height of 160 cm, would have a measurement ratio of 90:72:96 cm, forming a beautiful curve with coordinated proportions and soft lines. As for the "Discus Thrower" statue, the basic element of the composition is the "human body square" (that is, the two arms are raised sideways equal to the height). The body is strong and powerful, embodying strength and beauty, and is a complete embodiment of male beauty.

People saw in various scenic spots in Lushan that the traffic police were busy directing traffic in an orderly manner. There were no cigarette butts, mineral water bottles and other garbage in the scenic spots. The entire Lushan Mountain presented a kind of harmony between man and nature. The beauty of harmony.

American students were punished for grilling fish

(We must learn to live in harmony with nature)

On May 20, 2004, Matthew?, a third-year student at the University of California, took the exam When Chris and Cathy Loup were bored, they went to the campus pond to catch fish to relieve their boredom. As a result, they "succeeded in the first battle": they caught a 45 cm long fish using only an iron hook. This kind of fish is nicknamed "rich man's fish" and is relatively rare. Someone later reported to the school that they saw Cox and Lupe grilling and eating the fish.

On June 7, a school spokesperson said that the school was "disgusted" by the behavior of the two students. He said that students who have received three years of education at university still do not know how to protect the natural environment and do not understand that humans and animals should live in harmony, which is simply "inexcusable behavior." In order to teach these two students a lesson, the school immediately imposed financial penalties on them. Subsequently, the school board held a meeting to study and decide to expel the two students and take them to court on charges of "deliberate destruction of nature" and "cruelty and killing of innocent animals." According to reports, Cox and Loop will be sentenced to one year in prison if convicted.

Harmony in traditional Chinese philosophy

(Harmony is a kind of philosophical beauty)

Chinese people like the simple saying "Gentlemen are harmonious but not uniform", which is Because it advocates harmony, it embodies a kind of philosophical beauty, allowing people to enjoy the beauty of the fragrant world of natural harmony where "grass has different colors but the same fragrance". People are born equal, and everyone's personality is equal. The existence of various ways of thinking is the embodiment of social prosperity. The harmony of various ways of thinking is a sign that a society is full of vitality and has great hope.

A single sound combination cannot make beautiful music, a single thing cannot make a prosperous world, just like food with a single taste is boring. Traditional Chinese philosophy believes that everything in the world is composed of the five elements of earth, metal, wood, water, and fire, just like concertos can be composed and sung from various musical scales with different heights. If we blindly emphasize that thinking activity is an abstract identity in the form of philosophical thinking, it means that human thinking is exhausted. If this is the case, human beings will be hopeless, even desperate.

The concept of "harmonious society" of Taoism and Confucianism

(Harmony is the ideal pursued by the Chinese)

In the representative figure of Taoism, Laozi, the harmony he envisioned Society is like "a small country with few people, so it has a few weapons but does not use them, and it makes the people die again and never move far away." Laozi believes that the prerequisite for social harmony is to eliminate all technology, eliminate the infringement of all civilizations on human nature, and restore people created by culture to natural people without any imprint. "People will not have contact with each other until old age and death" means cutting off those social relations that cause chaos. This kind of simple picture of "enjoying food, enjoying clothes, living in peace, and enjoying customs" is certainly a type of harmonious society, but it is more like nature without human activities. In the harmonious society conceived by Zhuangzi, there are "the world of supreme virtue", "the country of building virtue", "the world of supreme governance", "the land of nothing" and so on. In this type of ideal harmonious society, the main purpose of life is to return to nature. "The people are like wild deer." People get rid of all cultural fetters, live in harmony with nature, and integrate with all things.

In the Confucian concept of a harmonious society, the ideological resources we can draw from are mainly the harmony of interpersonal relationships. Confucianism believes that the harmony of human relations means that each member of society should be in his or her own place and achieve "harmony without difference." Regarding the overall harmony of society, Confucius believed that "Those who have a country and a family do not worry about being few but about inequality, and do not worry about poverty but about insecurity. There is no poverty in everyone, there is harmony without widows, and there is no inclination." ("The Analects of Confucius? Ji Shi" ).

In terms of wealth distribution, we strive to achieve "equal". In the view of Confucianists, human harmony does not involve the enthusiasm of wealth creators, but only involves the distribution relationship of wealth possessors. Therefore, Confucius emphasized that interpersonal relationships should be based on benevolence, and the empathy of benevolence is just the harmonious agent of various social elements.

Everyone is responsible for social harmony

(Creating a harmonious society requires everyone’s joint efforts)

Building a socialist harmonious society was proposed by the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China It is an important task and a great cause for the unity of the people of the whole country. Completing such a great undertaking requires the active participation and efforts of every person, every family, and every unit. It needs to start from every thing and every word. "Don't do good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil deeds because they are small." Accumulate small wins into big wins, and harmony lies within.

Harmony is concrete and exists in people’s daily work and life. Do not litter cigarette butts with confetti, do not spit, do not damage flowers, plants and trees, which can protect the harmony of the environment; do not make loud noises in the office area, do not randomly visit to chat, walk to avoid noise that interferes with other people's work, which is conducive to the harmony of the office atmosphere; "Stop at red lights, go at green lights, and stop at zebra crossings" can create a harmonious traffic order... Everyone abides by social ethics and behavioral norms, and harmony is around us.

"Canglin is practical and knows etiquette." The rapid improvement of living standards has provided us with a good material foundation for building a harmonious society. However, when talking about a harmonious society, some people tend to only talk about major issues, such as the gap between the rich and the poor, corruption, unfair law enforcement, etc. They blame the government and others for the disharmony, but they ignore a large number of problems in daily work and life. , They keep silent about harmonious behaviors that can make a difference, thinking that the details are insignificant. As everyone knows, the principle of "details determine success or failure" in the shopping mall also applies to the construction of social order. "Eat meat with your rice bowl, put down your chopsticks and scold your mother" is a very puzzling social epidemic. Psychological factors such as selfishness, jealousy, and blind comparison have created a lot of social disharmony. If everyone has more sense of responsibility and moral values ??to maintain social harmony and contributes more to harmony, society will become increasingly harmonious and life will be better.

The incident of laying anti-seepage membrane in the Old Summer Palace

(Destroying the environment means destroying harmony)

Beginning in March 2005, a shocking scene took place in the Old Summer Palace: Dozens of excavators are frantically destroying the landscape of the Old Summer Palace. All lake bottoms have been dug up, then covered with large pieces of white plastic, and the surroundings are tightly sealed with cement. They do this to prevent the lake from leaking. Experts say this is a complete and devastating ecological disaster and damage to cultural relics.

Chinese classical gardens have irreplaceable scientific and cultural value in the world, and have very rich cultural connotations and historical heritage. The Old Summer Palace is the most outstanding garden ever built in China. "Unity of man and nature" and "imitating nature" are the basic ideas in the construction of Chinese classical gardens. "Skillful workmanship" and "like nature" are the basic characteristics of Chinese classical gardens. "Fully integrated" and "simple vicissitudes of life" are the basic characteristics of Chinese classical gardens. The artistic realm of "infinite vastness" and "various atmospheres" are the aesthetic feelings of the ecological effect of Chinese classical gardens. Obviously, the harmony between the open garden ecosystem and the surrounding natural environment is crucial. For the Old Summer Palace, sustainable development and ecological balance have been tested for hundreds of years. From an ecological perspective, material, energy, The exchange of information is indispensable. The communication between the garden water system, the external water system and the groundwater system is the most important "ecological flow".

Chinese culture is a culture with "artistic conception", especially Chinese classical gardens. A serious consequence of the large-scale laying of white plastic in the Old Summer Palace this time is that it completely destroyed the artistic conception of "harmony between man and nature". The harmonious feeling of the Old Summer Palace that is "natural", "natural and innocent", "serene and elegant" is completely gone. It has damaged the unique tourist appreciation value of the Old Summer Palace. If it is not corrected immediately, the consequences will be disastrous.

Wenzhou cares for migrant workers

(Building a harmonious society must start with action)

In April 2005, Wenzhou launched the "Hexin Action" to care for migrant workers. The city is called upon to pay more attention to the production and life of the more than 2 million migrant workers, to better protect their legitimate rights and interests, to pay more attention to their thoughts and emotions, and to truly integrate them into Wenzhou and become an important force in the construction of "Harmonious Wenzhou".

Migrant workers can enjoy housing provident fund subsidies, foreign "top 100" young people can settle in Wenzhou, and charity funds are used to support migrant workers in extreme poverty... Measures to care for migrant workers have been introduced in Wenzhou. Strengthen labor inspections, establish emergency relief funds for migrant workers, and strengthen legal aid for migrant workers... One by one, practical measures to care for migrant workers will be implemented in Wenzhou. The government, enterprises, and people are all paying more attention to the new Wenzhou people and extending more helping hands.

Student Li, a migrant worker from Henan Province, sacrificed himself to save others in Wenzhou, which moved the whole of Wenzhou. On March 24, the Wenzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government made the decision to carry out in-depth activities to learn from Li students throughout the city. The craze for learning from civilian heroes continues to surge, and an atmosphere of caring for migrant workers in the whole society is taking shape in Wenzhou. Subsequently, the "Hexin Action" was launched, which lasted for five months, to further harmonize the relationship between Wenzhou people and migrant workers, and to inject new connotation into Wenzhou's construction of a harmonious society. "Hexin Action" focuses on standardizing labor contracts, wages, etc. Solve the practical difficulties faced by migrant workers in their production and life, such as medical treatment and schooling for their children, and strengthen efforts to safeguard the rights of migrant workers such as non-signing of labor contracts and low wages.

“We are a family!” “Wenzhou is our common home!” I believe that soon, new Wenzhou residents and native Wenzhou people will say these heartfelt words. I believe that in the near future, more foreign and new Wenzhou people will integrate into this city and fall in love with this land.

The story of Judge Song Yushui

(Harmony is the highest realm pursued by law)

National model judge Song Yushui is the president of the Intellectual Property Division of Haidian District People’s Court . The court where she works is located in Zhongguancun, Beijing, which is the first national high-tech zone in the country. There are tens of thousands of high-tech enterprises within an area of ??100 square kilometers, and it has now developed into a high-tech park that attracts world attention. Song Yushui and her colleagues took advantage of the rising awareness of intellectual property protection in China and carried out exemplary work.

In 2002, a famous scholar sued a digital library for copyright infringement. Digital libraries do not belong to libraries in the traditional sense. In the past, libraries were "books on shelves", while digital libraries are "books online". Through the Internet, multiple people can borrow books at the same time. These advantages determine that establishing a digital library has great profit potential. But at that time, there were no clear legal provisions on whether digital libraries infringed upon copyright infringement, and there was no trial practice. The trial of this case not only affected the actual interests of the parties concerned, but also related to the development direction of China's digital libraries.

Song Yushui believes that this behavior infringes upon the copyright holder’s right to disseminate information online and constitutes infringement. This case was ranked among the top ten copyright infringement cases in the country that year.

Many people once didn't understand why Song Yushui put so much effort into mediation, but later more and more people understood: Song Yushui looked down from a higher perspective on each of the cases that passed her hands. She not only considers whether the legal judgment in a case is fair, but also hopes that through mediation, society will pay the minimum cost and the interests of society and both parties will be maximized; she works harder than ordinary judges to protect the overall interests of society - in Song Yushui's eyes The law not only protects society, but also lubricates the wheels of society's progress.

Song Yushui likes two words: harmony. Therefore, she is willing to use laws to make society more harmonious, just like her name, the harmonious relationship between fish and water. A client once gave her a banner: Distinguish the law and analyze the principles, and accept both victory and defeat. The judges all said that this is the highest level that every judge dreams of achieving.

Yilin Story

The Harmonious Story of Dashan Village

Located in Ketian Township in the west of Guniujiang Scenic Area, Shitai County, Anhui Province, there is a village called Dashan Village.

People in Dashan Village understand the harmony between man and nature. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the ancestors of Dashan Village people moved here. In the past 400 years, the landscape here has remained so intact. Although the people of Dashan Village also depend on the mountains for food, they never destroy forests to open up wasteland or engage in indiscriminate deforestation. Behind the village is a ridge called "Dragon Vein" by the villagers. People never use knives or axes on the mountains, so the forests in that area still maintain their original form. Even if there are big dead trees on the mountain, no one will cut them down.

Even the newly sensible children in Dashan Village have this kind of awareness of ecological protection.

What people in Dashan Village understand better is the way of harmony between people. For hundreds of years, people in the village have lived together as one family, with very few disputes between neighbors and no armed fights. The people in the village abide by the principle of filial piety. If any family in the village has a child who is unfilial, the villagers will take the unfilial child to the village ancestral hall and beat him up. The folk customs in the village are simple and simple. Villagers never lock their cars when they go out. The cattle are tied at the edge of the village and are never lost. The village girls park their bicycles on the roadside when picking tea and never lock them. Sometimes they find that their bicycles have been ridden away. They didn't care, because they knew there were no thieves here, and the car must have been taken away temporarily by a neighbor to run an emergency, and they would return it to its original owner soon.

Looking for the footprints of the survival and development of Dashan Village people, we seem to be able to appreciate the harmony that is treasured in the hearts of Dashan Village people. "Breaking rice sticks with hands, roasting chestnuts with charcoal fire on feet, gods can't come, except the emperor." This is a folk song circulated in the village. It is said that the ancestors of the people in Dashan Village came here to escape the war. Therefore, the villagers abide by the instructions of their ancestors and never leave the mountain easily. They guard the mountains and have been cultivating tea for generations. People over the age of 30 rarely go out to work. From this ballad, we may be able to understand the mentality of people in mountain villages. They yearn for peace, tranquility, and pursue inner harmony. Because they are selfless and have no desires, they can be self-sufficient and contented.

Harmony in the eyes of Xi Murong

As a Mongolian, the poet Xi Murong has a deeper understanding of her own roots because she has seen through the cultural essence behind her life. What is the real connotation of grassland culture? She thinks it is clear that it is harmony and simplicity.

“Harmony is not tame, but still wild. For example, the free-range Mongolian horses. I once asked my Mongolian friend Mr. Buch Olton, don’t you worry if I say 500 horses are kept outside? He said don't worry, strangers can't get close to the horses. Only the owner can come in. They come back twice a day to drink water. If there is enough snow in the winter, they only come back once a week. One winter, the TV station said. When people asked him what he was doing, he said that I was looking for my horses. I didn’t know where they were yet. I believe that everything has a soul. I am not alone. I want to live in this grassland, and so do the plants. To live, animals also need to live, facing the world with fear and finding ways to live in harmony with each other. This is harmony. ”

Xi Murong believes that simplicity means creating things in the simplest scope. The most practical thing is actually that we should not be greedy, we should coexist with this world, and let us try not to be an aggressor in our lives. "It's funny. Once I was talking about how we Mongolians understand and treat cattle, horses, and sheep tenderly, but someone said that the Mongolian Empire treated other people back then. I said that was two different things. It was a war, so Sorry, I'm a little too excited, I need to restrain myself."

Application and Innovation

Defects and Harmony

If there are two pieces of jade, They are both exquisite, cute and crystal clear, but one piece has flaws. Which one will you choose? Maybe you will choose the flawless piece, because most people's thinking is towards perfection. My choice is different. I will choose the one with flaws and flaws, because in my eyes, the flaws will not cover up the beautiful jade, but will bring out the true and simple beauty of the jade. Just like the black dots on the white paper just reflect the whiteness of the paper.

It is difficult to achieve perfection and perfection among playthings in the world, and fundamentally speaking, they do not exist. Beauty and flaws are a harmonious and unified whole. Xi Shi, one of the four beauties in ancient China, was as beautiful as a fish or a wild goose, but she suffered from angina pectoris. You will frown every time you feel heartache. Generally speaking, frowning is not beautiful. However, Xi Shi's frowning appearance adds to the charming effect. Otherwise, how could there be such a story as “one imitates the other”? It can be seen that Xi Shi's "flaws" and "beauty" are combined together to achieve a high degree of harmonious beauty.

There is also the 19th century French sculpture master Rodin, whose works are all admired by the world. However, Rodin's figure sculptures do not pursue beauty, completeness, and elegance, but often contain defects or deformities of one kind or another.

However, it is those incomplete and misshapen statues that display a higher level of harmony: the harmony of vitality.

Being harmonious and making money is a kind of economic harmony

In the business world, it is often said that "if you don't make a profit, you won't be able to get started early" and "turbid ponds will bring fish, but harmonious and harmonious Qi will bring you wealth". When there are discordant voices between the two parties in a transaction, the mediator often says, "Don't fight against anything, don't fight against money." These words are very timely and practical, so usually both parties give in and seal the deal. As the saying goes, "It is best to eat salt all over the world, and it is best to use money all over the world." In modern society, nothing is more important to people's lives than money. "You can have nothing, but don't be without money." An elegant person may wonder, what’s wrong with modern people? Why did he become so stinky? Of course, some common people will say, "What's the matter with you? Do you have a grudge against money?" "Gentlemen value knowing each other, why bother with money." It's a spiritual need or pursuit, which of course should be promoted, but life has always been They are all very realistic, "The poor live in the busy city and no one cares about them, the rich live in the mountains and have distant relatives." In today's wealth society, daring to withdraw money and being good at withdrawing money are the common and elegant logic for young people to enter the world and are a sign of maturity. In response to this, there is a popular economic theory in the West that is the most straightforward - human beings are economic humans. This assumption is very pragmatic.

The times have changed. As every modern Chinese, we should not have the idea of ??dependence. No matter how talented or knowledgeable we are, we must first rely on our own wisdom and hard work to support ourselves. Don't always look at your parents, country and society, as if they owed us something in a previous life. When parents raise their children to adulthood, they have done their best and will not be in debt to Heaven; the country's money is the tax money of the people. For those who have not paid the labor costs, logically, the country does not owe them any money, and there is no big debt. There are too many reasons to reach out and ask for too much; society is a group composed of "you add me, I add others". This group has no logical obligation to support the "parasitic people" who have no creative benefits.

Copper coins in ancient China are round on the outside and square on the inside, which reminds people to be tolerant, be kind to others and be friends with others in order to make money. Each friend who participates in the wealth game is required to give full play to his or her unique financial intelligence, which refers to the ability of the game subject to realize business value through the dynamic grasp of costs, benefits and risks in the wealth game. In a commercial society, people's mastery of wealth knowledge and their understanding and utilization of wealth laws directly affect the accumulation of wealth. Especially for people who have entered the era of meager profits, this ability to integrate wealth resources has become the "killer trump card" for whether people can dominate in the wealth society. The size of the dimension quotient index is directly proportional to its ability to develop resources. People with high dimension quotient generally have high ability to resist risks, and of course the economic benefits they achieve are also high. The wealth game is a game for smart people. Modern people should also have the conditions to use their own quotient to control, utilize and set wealth rules from multiple angles, directions and levels, and effectively integrate "time, information, manpower, material and financial resources" "efficacy.

Nowadays, the most fashionable word is "harmony". We might as well analyze it from this economic perspective. What kind of economic logic does "harmony" have for a wealth society? In the traditional Chinese business world, "harmony brings wealth", and "a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way." We not only need to know the superficial meaning of paying attention to the right way to make money, but we also need to understand the internal logic or principle of making money, that is, even gentlemen also like money, but gentlemen understand the secrets of making money better and have better means of making money. Otherwise, we will I can't bear the nickname "gentleman" anymore.
