How do you define beauty? Should beauty be defined?

What is beauty Abstract: According to the Marxist theory that the essence of things can be expressed at different levels, this paper argues that the essence of beauty can be mainly expressed as: 1. From the essence theory, beauty is subjective, that is, beauty is people's social consciousness; 2. From the root theory, beauty is objective, that is, beauty comes from an objectively existing aesthetic value, which is the unity of object and subject; 3. From the perspective of mediation, beauty is the unity of objective and subjective, that is, the aesthetic value of objective objects conforms to the aesthetic concept of man as an aesthetic subject, and man, as an aesthetic subject, gives the objective object such a sincere aesthetic judgment and aesthetic evaluation.

Specifically, the essence of beauty is mainly manifested in three levels, namely, the essentialist meaning of beauty, the root-theory significance of beauty, and the mediated significance of beauty. In order to try and solve the problem of the essence of beauty, this article intends to analyze and deepen the specific analysis of beauty step by step and layer by layer from three different aspects: essentialism, root theory and mediation theory. 1. Beauty is subjective What is beauty?

This is a question of the essence of beauty. In terms of essence, I agree with the famous contemporary Chinese aesthete Lu Ying's view that beauty is subjective and that "beauty is the social consciousness of people". As the founder and important representative of contemporary Chinese materialist aesthetics, Lu Ying's incisive views on beauty and his outstanding contributions to human aesthetics are undoubtedly the most brilliant and immortal page in the history of human aesthetic thought.

Why is beauty subjective, "human social consciousness"? Lu Ying said: "Beauty, this is known to everyone, but not all people have the same view of beauty.

The same thing, some people will think it is beautiful, and some people will think it is not beautiful; Even for the same person, his perception of beauty will change in the course of life, and what he originally thought was beautiful would later be considered unbeautiful; What was thought to be unbeautiful at first will be considered beautiful later. Therefore, beauty is the reflection of things in people's subjectivity, and it is a concept. Beauty is a human idea.

And any concept of spiritual life is formed on the basis of real life, and it is a product of society, a concept of society. In fact, this means that beauty, as a social consciousness, lies in the fact that it is a kind of cognition, reflection, judgment or evaluation of the objective things that exist in society as an aesthetic subject. Of course, this objective thing includes natural beauty.

If natural beauty has nothing to do with human beings and is independent of human society, then it is "nothing" for human beings as aesthetic subjects, that is, it has no meaning, how can it bring a change to human beings as aesthetic subjects, along with the rediscovery and reaffirmation of people's view that beauty is human social consciousness, our contemporary Chinese aesthetic research and aesthetic theory will undoubtedly face a very profound reflection.

The connotation of beauty refers to a common essential attribute of objective things that can arouse people's sense of beauty, but it itself is a subjective feeling.

Beauty includes the two main forms of life beauty and artistic beauty. Living beauty is divided into natural beauty and social beauty. Artistic beauty includes several basic categories, such as beauty, sublime, tragedy, and comedy.

The definition of beauty is the most difficult problem in aesthetics. In the first systematic study of aesthetics in human history, "Hippias the Great", the author concludes that "beauty is difficult" through the mouth of Socrates. In the eighteenth century, there was a craze for "experimental aesthetics" in Europe, which intended to find the essence of beauty from concrete things of beauty, so as to give a definition of beauty.

However, the experimental aesthetics of the sweet potato mainly focused on graphics and sounds, and the conclusions obtained were not universal. As for the definitions of "beauty is life" and "beauty is the objectification of people", they make the mistake of equating the concept of intersection with the concept of intersectionality with a concept of intersectionality.

Should a girl's beauty be defined?

Because of these so-called standards and so-called definitions, girls who should live wonderful and happy lives have questioned their own beauty, which has led to a common word on our Internet now - appearance anxiety.

Some people always feel that they are imperfect, so they feel inferior, but there is never a standard for beauty, the standard of beauty is no standard, every girl has her own uniqueness, and the beauty of the sky has never been defined.

If there is a standard for beauty, it is to live the most beautiful self and live a wonderful life.

Each of us is unique and the most beautiful version of ourselves. Before the loss.

Maybe there will always be some voices around us now, including myself, who always define themselves as unsightly, have no characteristics, and even talk about their ugliness every day. Use self-deprecating self-denial to win the favor of others, or fear of hearing what others think of you.

Nowadays, with the rapid development of social platforms, a person's appearance is like being placed under the dog mirror. Most people's appearance anxiety refers to the fact that many people are not confident in their appearance in an environment that magnifies the role of appearance. In layman's terms, it is to feel that your appearance is imperfect and flawed.

So what is the beauty we pursue, what is ugly, who is beauty for, and how is it defined? And for whom is it pursued?

Sometimes we resent the injustice of the world and begin to hate our own powerlessness, "Why can't I look better" But maybe we can also use this look to be anxious and motivate ourselves to be better, instead of complaining all the time. Refuse to block the anxiety of the appearance, tear the aesthetic framework, and achieve a better version of yourself with confidence!

In fact, beauty is not only limited to the small box we know, beauty is in the bones and not in the skin. China has been up and down for 5,000 years, and beautiful souls have been floating in the long river of history. Their beauty is in the **.

The beauty lies in the heroism of Mrs. Xu Mu in defending the family and the country, and in the beauty of Li Qingzhao's misguided entry into the depths of the lotus flower; Beauty is in Shu Ting's self-improvement and loyal love; Beauty is in Dong Qing's belly, with the elegance of poetry and books. Beauty is beautiful in the skin, and more beautiful in the bones. Cultivation is engraved in the bone marrow, and through words and deeds, it exudes the charm of simplicity.

A person's cultivation is the embodiment of the heart, no matter whether the appearance is beautiful or ugly, with cultivation can there be a temperament that others admire.

Beauty is also plain and unpretentious. The spring March in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, the beauty is delicate and soft, moisturizing things silently; The midsummer sunset in northern Xinjiang is beautiful, beautiful and informal; The early autumn of August in Beiping is beautiful, and the beauty is beautiful and graceful, brilliant and colorful.

Mr. Zhu Guangqian said: Beauty does not fall from the sky, it is half in the object, half in you. In today's impetuous and noisy society, perhaps the most useless beauty is the most useful.

Everything in the world has its own beautiful rules, learn to appreciate their own unique beauty, and appreciate the beauty of others, in order to have a higher realm of Datong beauty, in order to show the "beauty and beauty" of all things harmonious symbiosis. The beauty that we can't define is actually all around us, so let's go slower and take a closer look.

may be in the eyes of many people, having a beautiful face and a graceful posture is beautiful. It is undeniable that this is also a manifestation of beauty, and there are many definitions of beauty.

I remember that Gong Lijiao, the world Olympic shot put champion, said: When I stand on the podium of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, it is the most beautiful moment in my life, which is also a beautiful performance.

Whether it is the beauty of the superficial shirt or the charm of personality, it is the light that we emit from ourselves. We must grasp the size and let it become our weapon and cut through the thorns and thorns for our life trajectory.

People's success is not encountered by chance, but we practice enough offstage, and even give everything we have to prepare for it.

Waiting for our own flower season to bloom, let everyone be our foil embellishment, and become the real protagonist ......
