簡介:◎ hold還有什麼意思? ◎「回到原點」英語怎麼說? ◎ de rigueur是什麼意思? Searching for Beauty Since man first daubed crude images on cave walls, a preoccupation with beauty has been a feature of the human experience. Early treatments of aesthetic theory in Western and Chinese philosophy had a lot in common. Plato, for example, held the arts to be the keystone of the body politic. However, the kinds of poetry, painting and performance he had in mind were to supplement his Republic as bastions of truth and virtue. These types of arts would include works dedicated to the Gods or celebrating triumphant military campaigns. There would be no place for representational works, which Plato saw as a tainted form of mimicry of divine ideals. Commercial sponsors benefited from the series. The Line app, originally not particularly popular in Korea, was installed 700,000 times in three months because the male and female leads in the show send messages with it. Among Line emoticons, the ones related to the show were the most downloaded in China and Hong Kong. Although the emoticons were not available in Taiwan, a deluge of smartphone users downloaded them using circumvention software. The YSL lipstick used by the female lead experienced sales growth of 195 percent in Korea and sold out elsewhere in Asia. Meanwhile, rent in Seoul's Mok-dong district, where the apartments of the leads are located, has risen 5-10 percent. Tourism to Korea shot up 10 to 20 percent in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. 美的追尋 自從人類初次在洞穴牆上塗抹簡陋的圖樣,對美的執著就成為人類經驗上的特質。西方和中國哲學的早期美學論述有許多共同之處。例如,柏拉圖認為藝術是政治本體的基石。不過,他心中的詩、繪畫和表演是支持其《理想國》的真理與美德的堡壘。這些藝術種類包括向眾神致意或慶賀戰役勝利的作品。再現性作品毫無立足之地,因為柏拉圖視其為仿效神聖理想的玷汙形式。 孔子思想就藝術在中國社會的角色跟柏拉圖的觀念在許多方面都驚人地相似。孔子跟他的希臘同儕一樣,這位中國聖賢認為藝術嘗試應當對社會有益,並鞏固社會文化習俗和傳統。孔子也跟柏拉圖一樣擔心不受約束的藝術可能會加劇激情並鼓勵放蕩,終而不利社會正常運作。有趣的是,堅持藝術的社會效用也是毛澤東毀滅性文化大革命的特徵,數以千計的無價藝術品在這場浩劫裡消失在歷史洪流中。 |
