As a humanistic quality education course in colleges and universities, aesthetics course focuses on introducing the most basic situation of human aesthetic activities and effectively cultivating college students' aesthetic taste and ability. It is a basic theoretical course of college aesthetic education and is open to all students majoring in arts and sciences. As long as you love beauty, it has something to do with you. "Mona Lisa's Smile" is a beautiful woman who went to Vietnam at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that this female chinese odyssey is known as the first beauty in China among the four beauties in ancient China. What is the ideal standard of female beauty? How should the overall and comprehensive beauty be required? Juck Zhang mentioned in "Dream of a Quiet Night": "Take flowers as posture, dimension as posture, birds as sound, moon as god, jade as bone, ice and snow as skin, autumn water as beauty and poetry as affection." This is the highest state of beauty, but too few people can do it. Who is the most beautiful woman in a big world? Everyone knows the history of Greek Helen and China. Where is the beauty of Helen? In the Iliad, it is described that Sparta and Troy fought for Helen for ten years. There are only bellicose generals in this world, not bellicose soldiers. The author must have never met Helen, but with the help of the soldiers who fought in the war, he said, "For such a beautiful woman, it is worth playing for another ten years." I volunteered for the war. I love Helen and I want her to stay in my country. " No wonder the kings of the two countries did not compromise! This shows Helen's beauty. It's so quiet. If she turns her head and smiles, there will be a hundred spells. But the legend is just a legend after all, and we haven't seen it with our own eyes. Although gold is valuable and beauty is priceless, it is only a one-sided appearance standard. Xidi simply thinks: "Beauty should have both powder and books." Clouds disperse, autumn water reflects people, lips are red and eyebrows are deep, face is charming, slim and graceful, lovely and moving, swaying like spring breeze, and external beauty is of course very important. These are also lovely, but as beautiful as flowers and jade, they also need wisdom and aura, and their hearts are poetic. Only by doing the best can we achieve the most beautiful. She should be holistic, pluralistic and unified, both inside and outside. A woman's beauty is the most complete when her appearance, figure, dress and hairstyle are in harmony with her heart, thoughts, intelligence and words, that is, "beauty is harmony". During the European Renaissance more than 400 years ago, the great master Leonardo da Vinci painstakingly painted Mona Lisa's Smile for four years, which made many people fall in love with it and people copied her. Some countries even print her on banknotes. Why does a painting fascinate the world so much? It is a miracle that a work of art is so precious. For hundreds of years, I don't know how many artists, artists and critics have explored the meaning of this smile, but so far they have not found a satisfactory answer. It is said that in order to make her happy and smile naturally, the painter invited musicians to play her favorite music. "Every voice comes from the heart." Hegel once said: "Music is the art of emotions, and it is aimed at emotions." It can be seen that music is an art that is good at expressing feelings and stirring heartstrings. "At the end of the song, there are several peaks on the river." This ethereal beauty can only be between reality and reality, between illusion and concealment. It only takes a little brushwork and wonderful outside the pen to truly reach the highest realm of ethereal stew. It can be said that it is well-meaning. It is said that the person in the painting is the painter's dream lover, otherwise the painter can't draw affection without deep love. It is said that the people in the painting also love the painter enthusiastically. Otherwise, why can the people in the painting sit opposite the painter so calmly for four years? It is said that ... it is said that there are many stories that can explain the success of Mona Lisa. In the 400 years after her birth, she has always been a living person in people's hearts, and her artistic beauty and charm are superb and eternal. The young woman in the painting, dressed in Pu Ya, looks free, handsome and dignified, and has various manners. The painter pays attention to depicting the inner nature of the characters, showing her high-spirited youthful vitality. A layer of cicada-like gauze was gently lifted on her forehead, which added to her charm. The chiseled lips give people an indescribable beauty. Gill, a Canadian art historian, published a shocking research result. She said that Mona Lisa's lips, which attracted countless audiences, were men's bare backs. No matter whether her plump hands naturally crossed on her chest are elegant, demure and carefree, or gentle and seductive, Dr. gay friends, a British doctor, thinks that the Mona Lisa is pregnant. His basis is that her face is satisfied, her skin is fresh and tender, and her hands are crossed on her abdomen. Sexologists speculate that Mona Lisa has just experienced an orgasm, so she showed a smile that fascinated the world. It's really hard to say Her fluffy curly hair, like flowing clouds, hangs freely around her bare neck and has a unique charm. In particular, the smile in the painting is holy, confusing, eternal, insatiable and intriguing. Recently, scientists have made a new interpretation by using computer technology: her smile contains many emotions such as joy, boredom and fear. The analysis of Mona Lisa's smile shows that it contains 83% joy, 9% boredom, 6% fear and 2% anger. The research results will be published in the journal New Science published in Japan. However, what is the scene that evokes Mona Lisa's four emotions at the same time? This is probably another puzzle that is difficult to explain. Livingstone, a neurobiologist at Harvard Medical School, believes that the flashing of Mona Lisa's smile is the result of our eye movements. According to Livingstone's analysis, the human eye observes the world through two different areas. One is the central area, called fovea, which allows people to see colors, identify printed symbols and distinguish details; The other is the peripheral area, which is distributed around the central fossa and is the area where people can distinguish between black and white, capture motion and distinguish shadows. People often look into each other's eyes when observing others. When appreciating the Mona Lisa, people first pay attention to the eyes of the characters. When the central area of the observer's eyes is on Mona Lisa's eyes, the line of sight of the "peripheral area" will fall on her mouth. In view of the observation characteristics of the peripheral visual area, it will soon notice the shadow of the Mona Lisa's cheekbones, and then make people realize the existence of a smile. However, when directly observing Mona Lisa's mouth, the central area of the human eye will not notice the shadow, so "people will never see a smile from her mouth." From this, Livingstone concluded that Mona Lisa's smile appeared and disappeared completely because of the effect of the observer's eyes swimming on her face. When I stare at Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting "Mona Lisa's Smile", I am often confused by that beautiful smile with three points of gentleness and seven points of confusion. Looking at it, I suddenly realized something, only felt tears surge up ... Yes, the beauty of Mona Lisa is so beautiful, so beautiful, and the beauty lies in her sweet and charming smile. Painters are great humanist fighters. Holding high the hand of emancipating the mind, he rushed out of the dark curtain of the Middle Ages and went to war against decadent theocracy and cruel asceticism. "Mona Lisa's Smile" sings loftiness and freedom, pursues happiness and happiness, and shows the painter's aesthetic ideal and the awakening and revival of oppressed and suffocated human nature in the Middle Ages. Mona Lisa's smile is ethereal, subtle, mysterious and unforgettable. Her smile is charming, persistent, thoughtful and elusive. Just like the cadenza in music, sometimes it is too high to look up, and sometimes it is as low as the abyss in the sea, which makes people feel safe. Different audiences, different feelings, diversity and unity, like a girl's innocence? A young woman's understanding Difficult and embarrassed to laugh. Is it that hard? Gentle? Elegant? Temptation? Proud? Or a hint? The expression seems to be changing all the time, so it's hard to make it clear. In a word, it is a kind of beauty from any angle. An ethereal and implicit beauty, a limited artistic image, gives people unlimited artistic imagination. Beauty is mainly appreciated, and beauty is something that lives in some appreciation-Bao Sangkui's beauty is life, beauty is harmony, beauty is a smile, and beauty is the smile of Mona Lisa.
