Perhaps, due to many differences in class, family environment, growth environment, education level, knowledge literacy, aesthetics, style and appreciation interest, the understanding obtained is naturally different. This is a matter of opinion. But it seems that most people think that taste is determined by money.
In fact, taste is intangible and internal, and it is difficult to describe and define it in words. And it is determined and embodied by this inner and spiritual nature. Accumulate in the middle and walk outside.
Generally refers to the inner world and spiritual level. It is closely related to our life and directly determines and embodies the level and style of life, especially spiritual life. At the same time, it also directly reflects and determines people's aesthetics, cultivation, temperament, life interest, appreciation interest and so on. For example, it affects people's clothes; Reading tendency; Enjoy the fun; Family style and furniture style; Even eating habits and so on. It even affects people's professional style, such as the creative style of designers, planners and artists.
And all this depends on the influence of the environment, strict family education and knowledge cultivation. In short, it is an accumulation, a habit and a nature. It is by no means deliberate, so it is by no means delicate and artificial.
From the appearance, a person's taste forged by this habit and nature is reflected in his natural demeanor; Insightful thoughts; An elegant speech; Appropriate clothes; A noble heart; Rich emotions; Profound knowledge; Extraordinary appreciation; Modest manners; Love life and nature. Modesty but not inferiority, noble self-esteem but not overbearing, frugal but not stingy, rich but not profligate, polite but not rigid and restrained, casual but not presumptuous, naturally revealing without wanton publicity.
Taste is by no means something that etiquette schools can learn. Similarly, it can't be built by the cultivation of universities alone. Because both money and school education can change people's identity; Life is a matter of life; People's occupation; People's marriage; Even the fate of people, but it is difficult to change the unique things in the bones. As the saying goes, "everything changes without departing from its ancestors."
So we can see that some people have left the countryside for many years, and their eating habits and living habits in their hometown have not changed; Even with higher education, the way of thinking has not changed much, and it is difficult to thoroughly remould oneself. I also find it difficult to integrate into the capital.
One of my colleagues was admitted to a technical secondary school fifteen years ago and worked in an accounting firm. After getting it, invite other colleagues to visit. I didn't go for some reason. According to the colleague who came back, after opening the security door, what you saw was a screen wall similar to a quadrangle, which was engraved with: Cai. Smile after listening. Needless to say.
The other is a female colleague who studies English and teaches English. Last summer, I saw her in the library, wearing sandals, putting her feet on another chair and rubbing her toes with her hands while reading.
I'm not embarrassed because I'm unfamiliar. In fact, this is just her living habit, and there is nothing wrong with it. But I can't help worrying about her, because then will she habitually put her hand in her mouth and dip in saliva to turn over the books?
Later, I chatted with her colleague and a friend of mine, and my friend scolded me for thinking highly of her. I answered him: you deal with foreign languages every day, aren't you pretentious? He just laughed and didn't answer.
It can be seen that colleges and universities cannot completely transform people. Bacon said that "learning can change temperament" did not come true.
As for the idea that money can accumulate taste, it seems reasonable, but it is absurd. Yes, on the surface, the taste of life is made by money, but this is just a foreshadowing. Because the taste of life is ultimately determined and embodied by the spirit. Nowadays, people with money and no taste are everywhere, so I don't need to go into details.
Perhaps, you will say that those people in the entertainment circle have good taste? Please listen to what Xiaogang Feng said: "Those stars and celebrities who have got rid of poverty, despite their followers and aunts, still can't find elegance in their bones." It really hit the nail on the head.
Know the manager of a sports club. . This gentleman runs a fencing club. I dare not say it is the first in China, but it can also be said to be the first. As soon as I entered the club, huge photos of fencing history and competitions were posted on the wall, some flying around and some lunging for swords. There is a strong smell of coffee in the hall; The loudspeaker echoed with Mascagni and Beligni's Cavaller Ria; The pennant on the other wall shows the club's good record: it took part in the third and fourth place in the national college student competition as an amateur.
After chatting with the manager, I learned that this gentleman used to be the English editor of the State Patent Office (now China National Intellectual Property Administration). During the ten-year catastrophe, I dabbled in a lot of European classical literature in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. After graduating from college, because of the ease of working in the patent office, my extracurricular activities and hobbies are quite rich.
He was the first amateur ballet dancer in China and Pakistan, which was reported on TV more than once in the 1990s (he later gave up because of a young knee injury). He was also the earliest amateur windsurfer. He took a professional coach as a teacher and took part in amateur competitions. Opening a fencing club also originated from Dumas' swordsman dream when he was young. I also advised him to expand the scale and earn more. He is indifferent to this, playing with his own interests and fulfilling his dreams.
And it is quite influential in Beijing, especially among foreigners. I wanted to get together with him during the Spring Festival one year, because the son of the Egyptian military attache in China wanted to fight swords and kick the pavilion, so he gave up.
This year, the Russell Red Flag Dance Company Alexander (Red Flag Dance Company of the former Soviet Red Army) made a sensation with a small creative plan and a cave head, and performed in China for 31 years. When it comes to this, this gentleman is not proud, but he arrived in one breath, which is even more admirable.
Perhaps, some people find taste unattainable. In fact, with a little pursuit and effort, it will be different.
To paraphrase the teachings of Chairman Mao, a person's economic strength varies greatly, but as long as he has this spirit, he is a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, and a person who is free from low tastes and is conducive to personal taste (imitation of "Commemorating Bethune").
