Master Dharma:

There is no cloud, no tree, it is not beautiful.

A few days ago, the Gansu Museum's "Ma Tafeiyan" was on fire. On the official website of the provincial Bo, the Tongben horse plush toys that were put on the first half of the month won the first list.

Many people are incredible, "This toy is ugly and strange, why do so many people buy it?" Some people disagree, "Where is the ugly, I like it very much." How funny the green code is pneumonia ', the meaning is good ...

Either ugly or strange, it does not prevent them from being liked. What kind of mood is hidden behind this like this?

When the "Ma Steel Feiyan" was selling light, other cultural and creative cultural and creative in the province also began to be popular. Masks, kites and hoods, all of which are "green horses".

Some people say that these "ugly" green horses are gimmicks? But even if it is a gimmick, many young people are as sweet as they are. Whether it is strange or public, it has released everyone's long -standing personality.

I have seen a summary of a contemporary consumption concept: "Unique selection of items, living personality, and other people's eyes are indifferent."

Unique, personality, fearless ... This reminds me of a painter Chen Hongzhang in the late Ming Dynasty. From the perspective of the people at that time, he was self -contained.

Generally speaking, the ladies in the paintings of the Ming and Qing dynasties were mostly weak. They had Dan Fengyan, with a small nose, and a sharp chin.

But the "beauty" in his pen has a big face, his nose is not cheating, and some are still bent down. Not only "beauty", literati and Luo Han also have a round face, a strong figure, and looks stunned, not very smart.

The weird thing is that when he is a man in his pen, Chen Hongzhang will wear a few flowers on them. Whether it is Yang Shen who wrote the first word of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", or the small whirlwind Chai Jin in "Water Margin", and even the fierce ghost catcher Zhong Kui.

Except for people, the things he painted is not very beautiful. There are always residual leaves in the painting. The "hole" on the leaves always reminds us of the bite of the insects, or the moment when life is about to wither.

Looking at his paintings, at first glance, I just felt weird. The second glance, "weird" became a personality. Looking at it, it made people remember him.

At that time, the painting world advocated that people had to learn the paintings of the Song and Yuan dynasties, but Chen Hongzhang learned Jin Tang. Therefore, the beauty in his paintings is strong, men's flowers, leaves have worm holes ... These together have become shocking in the eyes of others.

But what about that? Only he left the style of "Gao Gu and Horizable", which was called "the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty without this ink", and even affected Japan's Ukiyo -e -painting.

Life comes and go, the crowd is turbulent, and many people will never be a child's abandonment throughout their lives. If everyone chasing the beauty is too similar, then I would rather be a history of history.

It turns out that the weird personality is an immortal.

Compared with funny and personality, some people describe "ugly things" with the word "cute".

Compared to the Gansu Province, which appeared this time, Sichuan Sanxingdui Museum has always been active. Their bronze

Cultural and creative causing many people to exclaim, "It's so cute! I want to have it too."

For example, the four bronze men play cards and play mahjong together; or wear a head to learn Sichuan opera to change their faces; or hold cups, carry pots shoulder, and work hard work.

Bronze villain, doing funny movements, reproduced the cute moments of life. When you see these gadgets, you can bear it and laugh easily.

In fact, bronze cultural and creative do not need to be so cute, and bronze itself is enough to attract people. This is why "why Sanxingdui is always shocking?".

Thinking of a "chǒu" in the Shang Dynasty, the "ugly" in the name means ugly, fierce, and angry.

The "ax" symbolizes "kingship". Our ancestors hope to create a fierce pattern to deter the enemy, courtiers, and people.

Therefore, the noodles, eyebrow eyes, nose, mouth, and mouth of the above hollow people are all protruding ... This weapon may be frightened in ancient times, but now it seems that no matter how much it opens its teeth, it can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it, can't hide it. Its childish and innocent.

Whether it is the blessing of the victory of the war or the worship and imitation of the animal form, for modern people, it is far away and ambiguity. But these represent the most sincere and simple wishes of their ancestors.

It is like a doll. If you are surprised, you open your eyes. If you laugh, you grin with teeth. A little "milk fierce", a little contrast.

Looking at them, we wake up the children in our hearts and unload the camouflage of adults. Remind us that the expectation of life is simple, naive, not so complicated.

Whether it is ugly or ugly, there are more people who like it, and they will gather together.

There is a group in Douban called the "Ugly East -West Protection Association". This group introduces itself:

Gold Meiling wrote a few poems: "I really want to like it, this, that thing. For example, onion, tomatoes, and fish, I think about it. It was made by my mother. I really want to like it, everything that one. For example, a doctor, and a crow, I want to like it. Because the world is all created by heaven. "Beautiful Everyone likes things, but don't forget that ugly things want someone to love.

The team leader once said the original intention of the founding group:

"My friend bought a cactus, she sent a photo to us, saying that the cactus was too ugly, and it was not worthy of appearing on her desk. But I felt that it was ugly and cute, and I thought that there were many ugly things in life. It is worth being discovered and protected. "

Why is Ugly Dongxi be protected? Has the criteria of beauty and ugly have changed? After all, I often hear that "ugly to the extreme is beauty."

Beauty and Ugly seem to be opposite, but for the people in the group, Ugly Dongxi is worthy of appreciation.

In today's life, everyone is busy chasing perfection, busy becoming exquisite, and busy turning the beauty of dressed into a daily life.

Beauty seems to be a kind of pressure.

Watching the uniform filter and P. Periodic photos, occasionally found those real, ordinary, and tiny things that are flashing the healing light.

As said in the movie "One One", there is no cloud or a tree, which is not beautiful.

Protect "ugly things", slowly reconcile with incompetence, learn to understand, respect, and report to others with the greatest goodwill and tolerance.

Perhaps, what we want to hug, protect, and love is not that ugly thing, but that it is projected on them, lively personality and not perfect ourselves.
