What is beauty?

Beauty has been pursued by human beings since ancient times, so what is beauty? Ancient wise men, modern scholars, modern people, countless people, their lives, it is difficult to define a standard of beauty for us, it is also difficult to summarize the concept of beauty for us, so there is a genius questioning, telling us that beauty is difficult! In addition, many great aestheticians have given countless definitions of beauty, but none of them are successful and none of them are recognized by everyone.

I can't help asking myself: What is beauty? How to define it? Thinking hard, I didn't find a standard answer. I can only come to a conclusion that beauty is beautiful, not absolute, and it is manifested in all aspects. Definition of beauty: beauty is flawless and extraordinary, and both are indispensable. What I am talking about here is the beauty of science, and I quite agree with this definition.

The professor's definition of defect-free is not perfect, but there is no defect in actual function. For example, Venus with a broken arm, its beauty has not been lost because of its broken arm, and it is even more popular because of its broken arm. However, no one will say that a normal person is beautiful when he breaks his arm in pursuit of beauty, because the sculpture Venus has no practical function, it is a work for people to enjoy, and human arms have practical functions. It's ugly when it's broken and never beautiful.

Unusual means unusual in our daily life. Unusual does not mean rare, such as nebulae, which have always existed in space and are not rare at all. It is precisely because we seldom see it in our daily life that we feel beautiful. If we face it day and night, we don't necessarily feel beautiful. It is because it is extraordinary that people are full of praise for it. Another example is the solar eclipse. Maybe it's only a moment when the moon covers the sun, but people may never meet such a moment in their lives. With the yearning and pursuit of the solar eclipse, they naturally feel beautiful in their hearts.

If it is ordinary without defects, it is vulgar. For example, many beautiful women with plastic surgery, such as many mass-produced goods, are ordinary and have no defects. If it is flawed but not common, it is ugly. For example, the person who broke his arm in pursuit of beauty mentioned above is not common, but we all think that such a person's mind or brain is defective; Defects are very common, and the professor defines them as making people cry, such as goods. If the streets are full of defective products, everyone will be desperate, because no amount of money can buy good goods and no beautiful clothes can be put on. For people, if the streets are full of people with broken arms, it will be difficult to work and live normally, and it will be ugly to look at themselves and others every day.

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers. Beauty is not absolute, but different people have different views, because aesthetics is a self-centered perceptual behavior, which depends on the aesthetics and taste of the aesthetic object. Aesthetics is the ability to judge beauty, whether the value judgment is flawed, and whether the knowledge judgment is extraordinary. If people's value judgment and knowledge are limited, it is not surprising that they broke their arms in pursuit of beauty. Taste is the ability to show beauty, values determine what is perfect, and knowledge determines how to show it. It's not common. brokeback Venus is an example. Generally speaking, for the same thing/thing/person, whoever thinks there is no defect and is not ordinary will think it is beautiful; When you feel that there are no defects and are not common, you feel that you are beautiful. So there is no metaphysical beauty in this world, that is, absolute beauty, objective beauty, universal beauty and eternal beauty.

Beauty is everywhere, such as food, beautiful scenery, beautiful women, kind words and other specific things, which seem mysterious and ethereal, such as the realm of beauty and beauty. I seem to have an answer about what beauty is, but I don't seem to have an answer. I think this is also a kind of hazy beauty!
