(A) from the natural features, to obtain a preliminary sense of beauty
Natural beauty emphasizes formal beauty, so when we appreciate nature, we should pay attention to its form, observe its shape, listen to its sound, smell its taste and see its color, so as to grasp the beauty of nature as a whole.
To appreciate natural beauty, we can start with natural modeling. The sun, the moon, mountains, rivers and lakes all have their own formal beauty. Even if they are all mountains and rivers, the mountains in the north are different from those in the south. The mountains in the north are magnificent and vigorous, and the mountains in the south are beautiful and soft. We should be good at feeling natural beauty from different forms of nature.
To appreciate natural beauty, we can start with sight, hearing and taste. Scholars in China can best integrate natural forms into their writing. Ziyi said in Question 69 that "there is a ray of green in the old bottle and a pinch of red in the static furnace", and this "green wine" and "red furnace" is a colorful beauty. Xin Qiji's "Walking along Huangsha Road in Xijiang Moonlight Night" said: "The bright moon surprises magpies, and the breeze knows in the middle of the night.
The cool evening breeze seems to have spread to cicadas in the distance. "The' Taoxiang' and' Frog' here are the beauty of sound that combines sound and taste. Li Bai pointed out in "Looking at Lushan Waterfall" that "the incense burner in Rizhao gives birth to purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of Sichuan. Flying down three dry feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days. "You not only wrote the beauty of the shape of the censer peak, but also wrote the dynamic beauty of the censer peak.
Beauty lies in form, and formal beauty is the most intuitive existence in nature. The image beauty represented by formal beauty is convenient for aesthetic subjects to capture the senses, and it is convenient for aesthetic subjects to quickly immerse themselves in the artistic conception of beauty, and receive pleasing aesthetic effects.
(2) Contact with human history and understand the cultural connotation behind nature.
Natural beauty is the perceptual expression of the essential power of human beings to transform and understand nature. It is closely related to human history and culture. In the traditional culture of China, the beauty of nature and human history coexist. Mei Zhulanju's "Four Gentlemen", which we often talk about, combines the natural state of plants with people's noble character and forms a cultural character.
In the face of graceful peony, many people will think of the folk legend of peony: Wu Zetian drinks and writes poems on a snowy night, and a hundred flowers blossom. Hundreds of flowers were awed by this fate and bloomed overnight. Only the peony refused to bloom and was exiled to Luoyang by Wu Zetian and burned with fire, but the unyielding peony bloomed more luxuriantly in the next spring. Under the influence of aesthetic emotion, the aesthetic subject will not only indulge in the graceful charm of peony, but also be deeply impressed by its unyielding charm.
Appreciating natural beauty in connection with human history requires aesthetic subjects to have corresponding cultural knowledge literacy and certain thinking and analysis ability.
(3) Pay attention to life and experience the philosophy of life contained in nature.
Liu Zongyuan said: "Beauty is not self-beauty, but because of people." People who deeply appreciate the beauty of nature often associate some characteristics of natural objects with people's sentiment, morality, temperament and philosophy of life, so as to understand the implication of nature from a deeper level.
Looking at nature from the perspective of life, nature becomes a unique aesthetic image and a unity of tacit understanding with people. The ancients in China paid most attention to natural life and sought philosophy of life from it. When Wang Wei saw the hibiscus flowers blooming alone in the deep stream, he thought of the natural life process of flowers: enjoying the integrity of life alone, not relying on the times and personnel.
Enjoy life and enjoy the present, which is the great power given to us by nature, and let us find peace of mind in the noisy and impetuous world. Appreciating nature from the perspective of life, natural beauty becomes an aesthetic image that "appears in my heart" and exists in natural objects and natural phenomena. Only by understanding with your heart can you get it.
