People’s Daily commented on "Yan value": Don’t narrow the territory of beauty.
During this time, "live broadcast" is widely sought after among young people. Click on the live broadcast software and look at the men and women at the top of the rankings, only to find that they all look somewhat similar. No wonder netizens invented a new word to describe such deja vu — — "Net red face".
It’s not just live. Some people say that the beautiful territory is shrinking. For example, all kinds of retouching software make flawless skin a standard, but also face-lifting and long legs; For another example, thinness has become the only standard of figure, and some websites have even appeared "vomiting groups", and grotesque slimming methods have emerged one after another. Not only the appearance and face value, but also the pursuit of "small freshness" in taking pictures, and all kinds of routines are similar; Clothing is fashion-oriented, and cropped trousers are popular, so I wish everyone could swim without pulling their trousers. All these things always make people feel that they are missing a little bit of jagged polymorphism and a little less colorful.
It should be noted that beauty, to a great extent, is a social habit and cultural psychology. Under the commercial tide, the beauty of standardization is suitable for "mass production" and can bring greater input-output ratio. "The king of Chu has a thin waist, and many people starve to death in the palace." If the king of Chu is well dressed in purple, it will be difficult to see other colors in the palace. Similarly, advertisements, fashions and stars have shaped the contemporary understanding of beauty and also narrowed it down. As a result, "being fat and thin" is no longer synonymous with beauty, but has become the opposition between beauty and ugliness.
What you like is freedom for an individual. However, within the social scope, the simplification of beauty is prone to some problems. Lack of awareness of the beauty of diversity, aesthetics has become an "exclusive" activity, and it is inevitable that there will be "face value discrimination." Accompanied by it, it is "face value anxiety", which eventually leads people to go further and further on the road of misunderstanding beauty and go south in the process of obtaining beauty. What’s more, in our era, "face value" is really "value", which is linked to interests and can be realized.
Some time ago, a Chinese girl was elected as Miss Michigan in the United States, because she was neither awl-faced nor "delicate" and did not meet the "standard beauty" in the eyes of orientals, which attracted many netizens from China to vomit. But in fact, the healthy complexion, cheerful smile, confident manner and even risorius and big face all make this girl attractive. What’s more, social participation, manners and hobbies are her plus points. In fact, there is no distinction between beauty and beauty, and there is no solidification model. More healthy faces, diversified aesthetics and individual expression should remain in our aesthetic culture.
There is never a lack of diversified beauty in the world, but there is always a lack of eyes to find beauty and hearts to accept beauty. We can’t help but say what a wonderful world we will miss when our interests are defined by advertisements, blockbusters, stars and online celebrity. You may miss the healthy and charming ancient Greece, or the elegant and prosperous Tang Dynasty. More importantly, you may miss those people around you who are smart and capable, gentle and generous, knowledgeable and tasteful, or have temperament and vitality. Learning to appreciate the beauty of diversity will broaden your horizons and make your life more colorful.
For the shaping of life, it is also advisable to hold a diversified attitude. To some extent, we are easily influenced by the opinions provided by the media and advertisements. We define happiness as luxury houses and luxury cars, and regard the pursuit of wealth and power as the only definition of success. This, like a single aesthetic, fetters our colorful life and even gives birth to anxiety about success and happiness. Accustomed to walk along the track prescribed by others, the dense Yuan Ye outside the track, the blue sky overhead, and even countless wonderful possibilities can only pass you by.
Both the understanding of beauty and the understanding of life should be "from the heart". Looking at the sky through the narrow wellhead, there is only a corner of the world, but if we look at everything with an open and inclusive heart, the world will return the favor and return the gorgeous rainbow.
