Chapter 634 Lee’s Inequality.
“How do we describe a good-looking face in the society constructed by our Eastern philosophy?”
Li Jinglin knocked on the blackboard.
"How do you describe a handsome man?"
"The eyes are as bright as lightning under the rock, the face is like jade, the pupils are like lacquer, the eyebrows are like swords, and the demeanor is graceful."
"The man's face is like a crown of jade, and the woman's face is like gelatin."
"Crown jade, condensed fat, it is obvious. In ancient times, our understanding of the beauty of appearance was first of all white, clean and smooth."
While talking.
Li Jinglin was still playing with the courseware.
The courseware seriously records the origin and information of the allusions mentioned.
Li Jinglin smiled.
It really aroused a lot of interest among the students.
"It's said that applying powder looks too white and applying blush looks too red. This is the best evidence of the beauty of red in white."
"Let's move on to the other facial features."
Listening more and more seriously.
Although the poem does not describe in detail what the eyebrows, eyes, and figure are.
Don't say it.
"Her lips are red and her teeth are white, and she has a pair of bright eyes that look forward to the brilliance, and her eyes sparkle as they move."
"Bright eyes are good at gazing, looking forward to shining, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, do you think they can all be radiant? They are all bright and good at gazing, and they are already almond-shaped. Could the eyes be smaller? Could they be squinted? How big is the apricot? You can compare it yourself. Bar?"
"Yang Guifei, the aesthetic benchmark of the Tang Dynasty, had muscles as solid as snow, a plump body, and graceful appearance. Even if it is restored through archeology, her eyebrows are curved like a painting, her eyes are full of eyes, the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, and her nose is small and pointed."
Li Jinglin's tone was filled with contempt for him without any hesitation.
Talk about handsome guys and beautiful women.
"Huan is fat, Yan is thin, no matter how the aesthetic mainstream of the dynasty changes, it will never be far different from the most basic aesthetic. There will be no beauty in a certain era that people today will find ugly."
Show the students poems written by poets about Yang Yuhuan's beauty.
"Hahaha!"
"Even though everyone says that fatness is beauty in the Tang Dynasty, this fatness is not fatness, but plumpness. Judging from the artistic aesthetics of the era, the Tang Dynasty is not so much fatness as beauty, but health as beauty. , prefer plump and athletic beauty.”
"And this white is not pale, but needs to be white and red. During the Warring States Period, a handsome man and a poet wrote a joking poem called "Deng Tuzi Hao Se Fu", which depicts the beauty. It means [if you apply powder, it will be too white; if you apply Zhu, it will be too red]."
This silly name was so funny that the students couldn't help but laugh.
"The Bai Yueguang literature described in Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu" also described: [red lips are bright on the outside, white teeth are fresh on the inside], red lips and white teeth are the foundation."
"Generally speaking, how were beautiful women described in ancient times?"
Aiming at the so-called Western-style, high-end aesthetics on the Internet.
However, through poetry, ancient book records, and even archaeological portraits of Yang Yuhuan's appearance in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as the depiction of female images in lady paintings in the Tang Dynasty, we can analyze the evolution of the perception of Yang Yuhuan's appearance and body.
"Don't really think it's fat in the modern sense. The meat grows where it should."
Li Jinglin's words immediately caused the students to laugh.
"Are those S-shaped ladies you meet in the gym the same as those big tank mines that shake when they take two steps?"
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
The students laughed.
Amidst the laughter, the students could not help but sigh that this aesthetic is indeed a reincarnation.
In recent years, in previous years.
China's aesthetics of female images is actually on the thin side, more skinny. But with the popularity of such aesthetic trends, coupled with the strength of the country and the abundance of food and clothing, the requirements for health are higher.
The aesthetic trend is gradually evolving towards healthy Q-bombs.
Jihisi can be used to tighten meat, but it must be smooth and tender, not chewy.
This aesthetic evolution process is actually very similar to the changes from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but it has been accelerated a lot.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the feminization of men was more serious, and the poems were also very sad and touching. During the constant war, the aesthetics of women was also quite biased towards the thin form of "I feel pity for you".
The female figures unearthed from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties are very slim in appearance.
But as time passed, we came to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Especially during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
For the middle and upper classes, material conditions are relatively abundant, culture is inclusive, and national strength is strong.
The aesthetic pursuit of "plumpness" during the Zhenguan period was actually not common.
Even in the early Tang Dynasty, thinness was still regarded as beauty.
It was not until the Kaiyuan era that it gradually shifted to plumpness.
In this case, the requirements for a sense of strength and health will naturally increase.
From the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, aesthetics changed again to regard thinness as beauty.
This is an aesthetic change that is in line with historical development trends.
And in this change.
As Li Jinglin said.
What remains unchanged is the perception of beautiful and handsome men.
[Bright eyes, big and energetic, delicate skin, white and rosy, red lips and white teeth, clean and tidy]
As for face shape.
The oval face and the awl face are both pointed faces, but they are completely different. What I like is the oval face, not the awl face. The awl face is not called an oval face, it is called a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
The same reason.
An oval face is also different from a large face. A round face does not mean that you should grow according to a compass. An oval face is round and cute, but a large face has a round face.
"The aesthetic changes in any society are related to its social and cultural development, material and spiritual conditions, but please remember that aesthetic changes are derived from our own logical background and are in line with our own development characteristics. We decide it ourselves.”
The course is coming to an end.
But Li Jinglin's voice was a little higher and more serious.
He even tapped the table lightly to attract the students' attention.
"It may be affected by the international environment, but this does not mean that our aesthetics must be defined, kidnapped, or even blocked by the West."
"We admit that there is room for free development of art or aesthetics, and it is even more reasonable."
"But this rationality refers to principles that conform to the laws of development. It refers to existence objectively. It does not mean that everything developed is a reasonable existence, let alone correct!"
On the blackboard next to it.
Li Jinglin wrote an inequality.
[Reasonable (in line with the principles of objective existence) ≠ Reasonable (in line with reason and reason)]
"I never think we should accept everything mindlessly, because there are correct and incorrect ideas for the ideas we are based on."
"For us, some Western values are deformed, and the aesthetic orientation born from these values is naturally deformed."
Li Jinglin's expression was very serious.
"Abnormal aesthetics brings anxiety, and aesthetic alienation distorts cognition and values. These are all devouring us."
