Light beauty

Light beauty

By Shari MitchellPublished 3 years ago 5 min read

Light, is a state of beauty.

A young girl, passing by your eyes, although it is a brief glimpse, but her light makeup, more close to the natural and natural, like a fresh wind in the spring morning, will paint people with a pure feeling.

If the heavy makeup, in addition to the girl on the surface of the light, it is unlikely to produce more interesting reverie.

In fact, heavy makeup plus brilliant wipe, the four words themselves, has been much with a trace of derogatory meaning.

Light than thick, perhaps due to close to nature, like spring rain, moistening silent, easy to be accepted.

Su Dongpo wrote the West Lake, once there was a sentence "light makeup always appropriate", but his poem praises the "billowy sunny square, the empty mountain rain is also strange", is also the nature of the West Lake. Although the West Lake in Su Dongpo's time was not as it is now, the tourists who really appreciate it are not necessarily very interested in the lush scenery, which is bustling with traffic and bustling with hustle and bustle.

Those who know the West Lake know that it is only in early spring, when little rain, and clear water, and little breeze, and little willow branches, and the sound of OARS, and the shadow of boats, and little mist, and little hills! Like a light ink painting, is the most beautiful West Lake.

Ink painting is a kind of art with deep and light beauty.

In Chinese painting, the heavy color of meticulous brushwork that is too thick to be opened is undoubtedly beautiful. But in a jade promotion, a few words will operate a artistic conception, of course, is also beautiful. The former, all before your eyes, at a glance. The latter is an art of omission, the ink sometimes pale to almost nothing. But the surface of nothing, is not equal to the audience's eyes, the author's heart of nothing, the large swaths of white, in fact, is to leave you imagination space. "Empty mountains see no people, but hear the sound of people." Not drawn, than painted, more thoughtful.

Western oil painting, how strong, each color, are afraid of not prominent expression of their own, while Chinese ink painting, is light, can save a brush, never redundant words, the so-called "ink as gold".

Generally speaking, thick to good, not easy; But it's harder to be bland and still have the flavor.

Coffee is strong, from color to central nervous stimulation, with a strong tone. There is a Turkish-style coffee brewed in a cup as black as lacquer; when you drink it in your mouth, it smells bitter; the cup is as small as a bean; one sip keeps the drinker awake all night, unaware that the East is white. The tea was weak, especially the newly picked Longjing. A cup in hand, tender bud stretch, up and down, water color micro blue, almost transparent, that kind of sensory pleasure, heart ironing, armpit like wind comfortable, also can not be described by pen and ink. So you can't compare coffee and tea.

But, for me, I'd rather lean toward light. Strong, persistent excitement always has a negative effect.

Life, in fact, is the same truth. Thick is a way of living, light, is also a way of living. Both, vary from person to person, can not be judged simply by the yes or no. For me, a little light seems to do more good to body and mind.

Therefore, those who hold a strong philosophy of life are naturally active; But it is not negativism to be indifferent to life. Respectability strivers, go-getter can chin, invincible can be peibei, warm embrace life amiable; However, ease without haste, ease without embarrassment, prudence without swagger, quiet without ordinary, is not yet another positive.

A person living in this world, no matter you are important or insignificant, as long as there are people around you, you will become a point in the coordinate, and this point must have vertical and horizontal connections. Thus, this constitutes the family, neighborhood, unit, society in all kinds of complex emotional relations.

Husband and wife, children, relatives, friends, neighbors, colleagues, you put you in this coordinate system point, see a little stronger, your emotional burden naturally; Look a little lighter and you may be able to get sober and relaxed.

For example, making friends is as good as wearing a pair of pants, which is naturally thick enough. "The friendship between a gentleman is as thin as water", it must be 100 percent thin. However, as close as rubber paint friends, turn enemies, and how much? Rather like water to get along, no intimacy no gap, more pleasant to each other.

Near Mo couple, kiss Mo children, the truth, should also be so. If it is too strong, it will be destroyed and there is no danger.

Especially on the head, once you want to give yourself a picture of something, it is better to prefer light.

Material desire, of course, is human instinct, possession and seek, pursuit and acquisition, is probably born. Puritans, of course, were not necessary, but the desire expanded to the infinite, or for the sake of the court, or for the sake of the city, or the thirst was endless, and there was no time of need; Or unwilling to be lonely, for fear of being left out in the cold, or cheating, ostentatiously, then great joy, happy; Not to great regret, great loss. Nerve like quenching general to withstand the test of extreme heat and cold, inevitably on the verge of collapse, tired in the run of exhaustion, ensure that the final fall of a physical and mental relaxation of the results, live is not easy! In fact, see a little light, can be for, not for and not strong for the words, then, gain and loss, success and failure, can be calmly, and get rid of many unnecessary troubles.

The beauty of light is in a way close to what the ancients called Zen, and the wisdom displayed in these Zen verses is actually the pursuit of this state of light beauty.

Zen, after all, in fact, is a weak word.

Life in the world, for the beauty of light, zen fun, happy!
