Chapter 370 Five

"I don't have that kind of leisure, and besides, I can find you? You don't even need a BP machine!" Zhu Dazhang didn't pay attention to this aspect at all: "Come and come, let's go first! Today, we mainly welcome our teacher Fei, and the second is to congratulate Elder, Ah, is this considered to be a return with honor?"

They are all gluttons, and they know the importance of tasting wine in a state where the sense of taste is not disturbed. The four of them tacitly did not eat, raised their wine glasses to clink, and then began to taste wine.

After taking the first sip, Zhou Zhi's mouth and nasal cavity are filled with the unique rich aroma of Maotai-flavored Baijiu

Moutai's unique calm, generous, elegant and delicate taste is driven by the mellow and full-bodied wine, which flows from the tip of the tongue along the sides of the tongue, making the tongue feel slightly sour, and enters the throat naturally after being saliva.

The mouth is refreshing, mellow and sweet, and the aroma of the wine sinks into the heart and spleen, and then the mouth is full of fragrance.

In addition to these, the unique ripe aroma and stale taste of an old wine are brought forward in the aftertaste.

It is a rich floral and fruity base aroma, refreshing and sweet in the mouth, which Zhou Zhi never experienced when tasting Moutai before.

"Good wine!" Zhou Zhi's eyebrows twitched, this feeling was comparable to his own when he read a good poem.

"How come there is no sweet aftertaste in the taste of flowers and fruits?" Zhu Dazhang asked.

"It's really unusual!" Manager Fei held out his cup and touched Zhu Dazhang, Miss Sixth Sister, and Zhou Zhi: "Brother Zhu is so kind, it makes my brother feel ashamed. It is said that things of a kind gather and people are divided into groups, and the elbows are arguing." The sister and brother-in-law who must come to see you and Xiao Lu, I, Fei Kuan, have made a deal."

"Uncle Fei is just being polite. We are all due landlords." Little Sixth Sister said with a smile, "I don't understand art, so I can't help Dazhang in this area. I have to trouble you tonight." , give us more enlightenment.”

"Little Deer, you are too modest." Manager Fei and Sister Xiaoliu also touched each other, and they all took another bite: "The three major characteristics of art include technicality, aesthetics and formality, and the technicality and formality of ordinary labor also have Therefore, the biggest difference between artistic creation and labor production lies in aesthetics.”

"As for what is beauty, human beings have been aware of it for tens of thousands of years, but so far they have not been able to figure out what it is."

"So exaggerated?" Zhu Dazhang couldn't help being a little surprised: "I still don't understand?"

"Beauty has been born since humans knew how to use animal skins to cover their shame, and how to press the first handprint on the rock wall as a decoration." Zhou Zhi said: "What Uncle Fei is talking about is a philosophical concept. Until now, beauty has always been A concept that can be perceived but not defined."

"It's like this glass of fine wine." Manager Fei raised his glass again: "First of all, we can define it as something that can start from the senses, bring people a pleasant experience, and finally rise to spiritual satisfaction. With these , we can think that this thing is beautiful.”

"This is the perceptibility of beauty." Zhou Zhi said: "But why this cup of Moutai can bring us a pleasant experience? This is a very complicated question."

"In Shuowen Jiezi, Xu Shen classifies the word "beautiful" as 'knowing', thinking that it is composed of two characters. The upper part is a sheep, and the lower part is a big one. The big sheep is beautiful."

"This word belongs to Ganbu, from the sheep to the big. The sheep are also provided by the six livestock owners. Therefore, Mei and Shan agree."

"Wang Yun also mentioned in "Shuowenjiezijudu": 'Sheep is the main meal.'"

"The Department of Gan said: Beauty. Sweetness is one of the five flavors. The beauty of the five flavors is called sweetness. Everything that is good by extension is called beauty."

""Zhou Li": Six animals are used for meals. The six animals that are raised at the beginning are called six animals, and the ones that will be used are called six animals, such as horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, dogs, and chickens. The words of food are good. Sheep are auspicious. Therefore, they are beautiful. from the sheep."

"So the ancient Chinese believed that beauty, kindness, and auspiciousness are actually the same thing."

"In modern times, after years of research, everyone's definition of beauty can be determined. It is a component of specific things, and it is the utilitarian and positive significance of specific environments, phenomena, things, behaviors, and objects for human survival and development. And positive value; it is the reason why individuals feel happy, satisfied and so on when they are affected, influenced and stimulated by the specific things in the process of contacting them; it is the reason that people discover, manifest, Defined and extracted relatively abstract things or meta-entities that are different from 'ugly'."

"Take this glass of Moutai as an example. Beauty depends on the existence of wine. It can be clearly perceived by people but it is different from the wine itself. It is an abstract attribute. It is the comfortable and pleasant feeling in this wine. part."

"It can make people feel smoky, floaty, make people hallucinate, feel that they communicate with nature, resonate with history, and stimulate release with inspiration. It can make people temporarily forget the troubles of the world. It has utilitarian performance, positive meaning and positive value'."

"Also take this cup of Moutai as an example. Through taste, smell, and part of vision, it has an effect, influence and stimulation on individuals, and makes people feel happy and satisfied."

"So we can draw a conclusion: we already know that Moutai has an abstract attribute, which can stimulate our senses, and then bring us a pleasant and beautiful feeling in the soul, so this is a 'beautiful' wine."

"But here comes the question, such explanations and definitions do not touch the essence - how does this glass of Moutai come about?"

"Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi" explained that Yang Daweimei is actually wrong. From the oracle bone inscriptions, the original meaning of this character is a person's head decorated with tall and curved feathers or similar headdresses."

"Adding feathers to the head can naturally give people a sense of beauty, so the characters are created in this way, and they are used to create meanings such as beauty and beauty."

"But it also didn't solve the question raised before - why does this make people feel beautiful?"

"The sense of beauty is a special feeling produced by the human brain. With this special feeling, people can discover beauty from individual concrete things, and decompose and abstract it from individual concrete things."

"However, the perception of beauty is relative. When everyone sees the same piece of art, they will have different feelings, and some may even be completely different."

"Then what stimulates this kind of pleasure in the human heart?"

"Uncle Fei said that human beings 'have not been able to figure out what it is', which is what they mean."

"Yes, so human beings have discussed and known about the essence of beauty, the feeling of beauty, the definition of beauty, aesthetic activities and other issues for thousands of years."
