The beautiful gorgeous sunshine Zhang Baotong 2018.1.27

We love beauty, but what is the meaning and value of beauty? In fact, beauty shines on our bodies and hearts like the sun, making us feel warm and relaxed. Beauty is a form that makes people feel happy. Beautiful things can give us a sense of beauty in sight, hearing and feeling, make us happy and excited, make us happy and intoxicated, so that we are immersed in the realm of infinite beauty, lingering, diligently pursuing, becoming our life's pleasure and pursuit.

Beauty shines like the sun on our whole world and life. The world is full of climates. Magically changing clouds, mist, rain and snow, cold and summer, spring and autumn, four seasons of streamers, colorful. And the sunrise over the East China Sea, the sunset over the West Mountain, the remnant snow of today and the stars of last night, which picture is not the most beautiful? People are idle and osmanthus falls, and the night is quiet and the spring mountain is empty. A remnant sun spreads in the water, half of the river is sorrowful and half of the river is red. Pity the third night of the first month of September, the dew is like a real pearl and the moon is like a bow. Famous mountains and rivers, magnificent rivers and mountains, rivers and mountains are delicate, the scenery is picturesque, this scenery, no need to carve, it is already like a dream, the most strange and beautiful.

The beautiful scenery can make our plain heart, soaked in gorgeous style, and enrich the most beautiful color in life. It guides us to walk all over the green mountains, travel all over the world, go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, go to Xishuangbanna, go to the coast of the South China Sea, go to the forest and snow fields, see the world with a bright mood, read life with gorgeous feelings, and look directly at the hustle and bustle and the world with an open-minded mind.

The beauty of the world is not only hidden in the famous mountains and rivers and magnificent rivers and mountains, it is often in front of our eyes and around us. A piece of grass, a small tree, a group of birds or a small flower that you see on weekdays can be quietly tasted beautifully. There is no shortage of beautiful scenery in life, but what is lacking is our vision to discover beauty and the willingness to appreciate beauty.

Maybe it's because we've seen too much, or maybe it's because our senses sometimes become dull and numb, dizzy, and incomprehensible, and we turn a blind eye to many things in front of us. Even if we go to the spring garden in the suburbs to see the peonies, and look at the big peonies competing for beauty, we don't feel that there is anything wonderful and fresh. Even if we travel tirelessly, trek through mountains and rivers, and come to a certain place to watch a certain scenic spot, we can't see the beauty of the scenery in front of us.

Viewing beauty and examining beauty requires certain feelings and emotions. There are women who make us lose our souls when we touch our eyes, but there are women who make us look at them sometimes and feel very cute when they look at them. Because of different times, different backgrounds, different lighting, and even different moods, they will have two different feelings about the same thing. In the second year of his accession to the throne, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Bashang to worship his ancestors, and when he returned to the palace, he went to the eldest sister Princess Pingyang's house to rest, and Princess Pingyang called more than ten well-dressed girls out to meet Emperor Wu, but Emperor Wu didn't take a fancy to any of them. Then, Princess Pingyang invited Emperor Wu to the banquet and let the singer sing in the hall. As a result, Emperor Wu immediately took a fancy to Wei Zifu. However, Wei Zifu has not been summoned for more than a year after entering the palace. It wasn't until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to send the elderly, infirm and useless people in the palace home that Wei Zifu saw Emperor Wu and cried and begged to let her go home. Emperor Wu took pity on Wei Zifu and once again blessed her. In this story, Wei Zifu was not favored when he came out to meet Emperor Wu, but he was favored when he was singing, and he was never favored again after being brought back to the palace, until he was about to leave the palace and was fortunate to be visited by Emperor Wu again. It can be seen that Emperor Wu's feelings about Wei Zifu are obviously different.

There is also an effect of visual perception of beauty, called "far fragrant and near smelly". For example, in the twilight of one evening, I suddenly saw a woman walking not far in front, her steps were light, her posture was graceful, and I couldn't help but be fascinated by my heart, and I wondered which woman was this? So, we quickened our pace and walked in front of her, and when we looked back, we turned out to be an old lady. Another example is a woman who chatters in front of you all day and upsets you, but when she leaves you, when you need her, you will feel that she is very good. So, you call her back to you, but within three days you start to get bored with her again. That's where distance comes in.

Because when she is far away from you, you can only see her strengths and loveliness, but when she stands in front of you, you will see some of her shortcomings and shortcomings, such as some freckles on her face, a black mole on her neck, a bad smell on her body, or her speech and demeanor are not so generous and decent. This is why when we meet our lover for the first time, we will feel that our eyes light up, and we fall in love at first sight, thinking that she is the person we are pursuing in our lives, but after getting married, it didn't take long to find that her beauty was slowly fading, and her problems were getting more and more, and sometimes she even regretted that she shouldn't have looked for her in the first place.

The feeling of man is so strange and wonderful, the more things there are, the less they are cherished, and the fewer things are regarded as treasures. We treat diamonds, gold and silver as treasures, but we don't think the air and sunlight are precious. Many people regard climbing Mount Everest as their lifelong dream, but they see it so dull to go home all day. Whenever we are upset and upset, we want to go to a distant place, as if there is a fairyland and beautiful scenery that we yearn for, but we often ignore many of the scenery that is close in front of us. Xi'an is the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, and many relatives and friends come to Xi'an to go here and there, but I have been in Xi'an for more than 40 years, and I have not been to many famous places. Some of the places I have been to do not feel that there is anything new and beautiful. Because these places are so close, I can't even see anything worth seeing them, and I don't want to see them.

In fact, this aesthetic effect of distant fragrance and near odor often appears in our relationships with relatives and family members. Parents and siblings have not seen each other all year round, and they are often in contact with each other, polite, affectionate, and always want to get together for the New Year. However, when you really get together, you have to be long and short, and you quarrel with me, which often makes everyone break up unhappily. And the same is true of the relationship between neighbors. In the past, when I lived in a bungalow, neighbors would often suspect and quarrel with each other about someone stealing water and electricity, and other trivial things. However, since living in the building, no one in the neighborhood has been in contact with anyone for many years, and when they meet once in a while, they feel polite and affectionate. The older generation likes to say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but in fact, I think the tighter the fence, the better.

In this regard, Lady Li, the favorite concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, can be described as extremely clever. She was born beautiful, smart and intelligent, and she could not help but be admired by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for many years after her death. Mrs. Li, who was red-faced and lifeless, could not afford to be sick and became more and more emaciated. Emperor Wu of Han went to visit Lady Li at her sickbed with a feeling of longing, and wanted to see her again, but Lady Li covered her face with a quilt and did not want to see him, but only begged Emperor Wu of Han to take care of her brother after her death. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had never seen Mrs. Li's sick face, remembered her after her death, buried her with empress etiquette, wrote several poems in a row to express her inner sorrow, and promoted her brother to the rank of marquis. Even many years after her death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty read "There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent, looking at the city and then the country." I'd rather not know the city and the country, and it's hard to get a beautiful woman again!" We can think about it, if Mrs. Li let Emperor Wu of Han see her haggard and deformed appearance, would Emperor Wu of Han still miss her and miss her endlessly?
