Chapter 55 investigates a person
In ancient Greece, the art of the human body was essentially the art of nakedness, and many statues of goddesses were naked, and many athletes, many gods of war and the like, were also naked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Why is it so naked, the scale is so large, far beyond China, but also beyond other ethnic groups.
Aphrodite was the goddess of love and beauty in Greek mythology, which later became known as Venus in Roman mythology.
Praxitelis was the most famous Greek master carver of the 4th century BC, and Fryne was his lover. The master is known for his "beautiful style", and this work is one of his outstanding masterpieces, and it is also the most famous and most copied statue of antiquity.
In order to make Aphrodite more ideal, he asked Frine to be a model.
According to Pliny's account, the master made two statues of the goddess at the same time, one clothed and one naked. As a result, the Kos accepted the noble and sedate garmented statue and rejected the nude statue.
The representation of the goddess in full nudity was unprecedented, and Praxitelis was the first person in the history of Greek sculpture.
Obviously, this form of expression did not meet the requirements of the general conservative thinking towards God at that time, so it was not approved by the people.
However, in the 4th century B.C., Greek society had already begun to change, and new aesthetic needs had broken through, as reflected in the creation of the two statues and their subsequent encounters and destinations.
The nude statue of Aphrodite was boycotted by the people of Kos, but it was welcomed by the people of Nidos. It was welcomed back and enshrined in a small temple built especially for it in the island's forest. Unexpectedly, thanks to this statue of the nude Aphrodite, the island of Nidos became famous and visited by a steady stream of visitors, making it a famous meeting place for hundreds of years. At the same time, Aphrodite of Nidos was also hailed as the most beautiful statue in the ancient world, and almost the entire Greek world came to see her. The fame is so great that all the other fine statues on the island have been forgotten.
In the ensuing imperial era, the Nidos appreciated the work and minted it on the coins used on the island...... The nude statue of the goddess was finally recognized, and a new aesthetic code emerged from the Greeks, which has been passed down to later generations.
From the statue of "Aphrodite of Nidos", it is still not difficult to see its charm of the year. She has a well-proportioned physique, beautiful curves, a delicate and firm ** and a plump and suitable buttocks. It is said that people liked women at that time with "a charming watery glow" in their eyes, and this beauty should probably be like that. She must have clearly embodied the spirit of the times in order to become the beauty that the ancient Greeks longed for, especially the Athenian citizens coveted.
This also seems to illustrate a truth, the goddess is not used to see, but to sleep.
In ancient Greece, the beauty of the human body was praised, and those women with beautiful bodies were called goddess incarnations, and those warriors, athletes, and the beauty of their bodies, were called god incarnations.
In China, the beauty of mountains and rivers, the beauty of human nature, and the beauty of virtue are praised, but the beauty of the human body is not appreciated.
In ancient Greece, those naked sculptures, portraits, etc., were called art and contained the beauty of the human body.
In ancient times, when man was a beast, an ape, a monkey, bare-assed, naked, and then he put on clothes and changed from beast to man.
And in the time of the Greeks, they took off their clothes and became wild beasts.
Ancient Greece, the so-called ****, the so-called naked competition, naked sculpture, naked ** gods, etc., are essentially the return of the wild.
Among the many wars, there are military wars, economic wars, and civilizational wars.
Military wars often last for several years or more than a decade, and the competition is for population, industry, and resources. Whoever has a large high-quality population, who occupies a large number of resources, whose industry is strong, the sea of artillery, the sea of aircraft carriers, and the sea of aircraft, who is the winner.
The so-called World War I, World War II, the Gulf War, and the Iraq War were essentially wars of this form.
Economic wars often last for decades or hundreds of years, and the so-called first industrial revolution, the second industrial revolution, and the third industrial revolution are essentially such a contest, and the competition is the national heritage and national culture.
It often lasts for 100 years, or even 200 years.
A civilization war is a war between two civilizations, or even three, or several civilizations. Ancient Egyptian civilization, ancient Babylonian civilization, ancient Indian civilization, ancient Greek civilization, ancient Chinese civilization, Central American civilization, Arab civilization, modern Western civilization, etc.
The war of civilizations, competition is the wildness of the nation.
It's often lasting, hundreds of years, or even millennia.
Civilization is developing, science and technology are advancing, and utensils are developing, which will gradually corrode human nature, turn human nature into servility, and become a slave of artifact civilization. When the artifact civilization is multiplied to the extreme, it will be conquered by barbarism or self-destruction.
The Song Dynasty, whose culture flourished to the extreme, was destroyed by the Jin State and the Mongols, which was the civilization that was savagely conquered.
And the two world wars in Europe were essentially the development of artifact civilization to the extreme, self-destruction.
In fact, we should be grateful for the self-destruction of Europe, without the self-destruction of Europe, maybe the United States is still the little brother, and China will still be a semi-colony of the great powers in the 21st century.
In the era of more and more developed materials and science and technology, human beings are eroded by materials and money step by step, and gradually become slaves of utensils, step by step to the edge of self-destruction.
In the past, it was the self-destruction of Europe, and tomorrow, it may be the self-destruction of humanity.
Technology is not omnipotent, technology makes human civilization strong, but it also destroys human civilization step by step.
Art, on the other hand, makes up for the lack of science and technology, allowing human beings to walk out of the abyss step by step without self-destruction.
Art cannot increase GDP and productivity, but it can maintain the wildness of the nation, which is conducive to maintaining the vitality of civilization and prolonging the life of civilization.
From the height of art, the lifespan of a civilization can be roughly calculated!
"It's just that it's hard to want him to be my model!" Imi shook her head, a little helpless.
If you have no desire, you are strong, and those who have no desire are the most terrible.
And Bai Qing's body is pure, his soul is very pure, he is not polluted by matter, he is pure and does not have too many desires, it is very difficult to impress him.
Money, fame, and beauty are invincible to many urban men and women, but they are useless to Bai Qing.
Turning on the phone and pressing a number, Imi made up her mind.
"Uncle Zhou, investigate a college student's ......"
"Didn't offend me, I wanted him to be a model, but he won't be killed!"
"Only by knowing oneself and knowing oneself can we hold people!"
