If people lose respect for the aesthetics of life, no matter how rich they live, they will be insecure about what they have.
Life aesthetics has become the general trend of global aesthetic development. In 2014, Aesthetics of Everyday Life: East and West, published by Cambridge Scholar Press in the UK, has spoken to the world: "Life aesthetics" is not only the new trend and main trend of global aesthetics since the new century, but also the original form of Oriental (especially Chinese) aesthetics.
Because in Chinese culture, people's aesthetic taste is combined with the understanding of life and daily life.
The direct expression of this combination is the ritual sense of life. Tracing back to the source, the ancient Chinese classical aesthetics is actually a kind of "living" life ceremony aesthetics, Qin, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy and rites, ancient people have long hidden the life ceremony aesthetics in every cadence for thousands of years.
Mr. Chiang Hsun, a well-known painter, poet and writer of aesthetics in Taiwan, once talked about the beauty of clothing, food, living and travel, and the so-called beauty of life is all in it. And how to be beautiful, how to slow down, how to let oneself and life shine in each breath and every move, and calmly and gracefully face everything in the world, is the value and significance of Teacher Shi Wei's ritual aesthetics course.
Achieving a great soul often requires an extreme ritual, ritual aesthetics course that we all look forward to.
Wang Xiaobo once said that it is not enough for a person to have only this life, he should also have a poetic world.
The course of ritual aesthetics is the world of poetry. The aesthetic of life is not simply a practical aesthetic. Our pursuit of beauty is not satisfied with the achievement of some specific goal, but seeks to permeate all our lives, our homes, our clothes, our morals, our transportation, our manners, our language, we all seek the form of beauty.
The teacher said:
Only slow down, you will find beauty.
Most people can't find beauty because they're too busy to slow down. Not only the physical busyness, but also the busyness of the mind. Be still and take care of yourself, why you are busy and what you want.
-- Shi Wei
At the first meeting of the ritual aesthetics course with everyone, teacher Shi Wei gave the grandest expectations to every student present.
This is a reshaping and baptism from the inside out.
The course of life aesthetics is an aesthetic that enables everyone's aesthetic perception to be completely transformed. In addition to improving the aesthetic character and attitude of our life experience, it also aims to enable every student to achieve the ideological realm of promoting good with beauty, transforming beauty into good, and taking good as beauty. It is conceivable that the course of ritual aesthetics will eventually become the course of the study of beauty.
The teacher said:
Beauty is the state that everyone eventually has to live out.
Ritual aesthetics. We're all about beauty, so is your tea pouring beautiful? What goes through your mind when you pour the tea? How do your hands go up and down? Do you know the distance between two hands? Do you know the distance between your body and the other person? On the one hand, through learning, on the other hand, through awareness, let your inner happening.
-- Shi Wei
In today's life, much beauty is lost because of our pursuit of speed. The course of ritual aesthetics allows us to see our present state, without too many words, the body is always real and undeceptive. Shuttling between work and life every day, the body is controlled by inertia, so that the true voice of the heart can not be heard.
We need a "guide" to take us to the realm of subtle and simple aesthetics.
The teacher said:
Space is the center of the spirit, and you can find faith in it.
Space should be alive, and you can feel its changes, the changes of the impact on your life. Space is fluid, and it touches every vibration of your consciousness. In the space of beauty, life and consciousness are continuous, and everything in the space should be the expression of beauty.
-- Shi Wei
The aesthetic of life ritual makes us change not only the aesthetic view, but also the view of life. On the one hand, it contains the aesthetics of everyday life, allowing us to release the ID and return to the emotional pleasure within. On the other hand, life ritual aesthetics is a new aesthetic structure as a philosophy. With the combination of the two, each person who pursues the aesthetics of life ritual can become a unique existence, so that the space in which he lives has its own beauty and vitality.
This kind of "internal and external cultivation" has been a tradition of Chinese culture since ancient times. Ancient People's Daily three introspection of their body is a kind of self-care and perception of life.
The teacher said:
The Life Ritual Aesthetics course is not so much a course as a way of life that we should wake up to.
Is everyone's inner desire to return to their own "peace of mind is home" lifestyle, not what I taught you, but you have within itself, you have that kind of beauty.
-- Shi Wei
The aesthetics of life ritual is the space for the formation of life and soul. No matter the ceremony, the space, the music, the dance, even the smell has its own unique life and beauty.
Life is first and foremost a personal choice and a personal occurrence. Different people have congenital defects in their understanding of beauty. For a long time, the weak regard beauty as a luxury, the beneficial regard beauty as a boast, and some even regard beauty as ethereal and nothingness. Teacher Shi Wei's life aesthetics ritual course is not dogmatic indoctrination, nor is it transcendental overlooking, but what is always adhered to here is awakening.
Every man is not an island.
I would like to thank the students of the first Life Ritual Aesthetics course for accompanying each other, making new changes in life, and walking together, making beauty and life present a new state. Although together hate short, respectively sometimes, but the heart is full, the future can be expected.
More grateful to Shi Wei teacher, with his own truth, kindness and beauty, in the people to wake up the beauty of low eyebrows and drowsiness, wake up the beauty of dumb, and wake up the people who are willing to pursue the truth of life in the flashy world.
