Features: The Collector's Edition of Painters' Human Models 3: A healthy, normal human society treats the beauty and art of the human body this way. But it's different in China. Many people say that promoting the beauty of the human body and valuing human body art is not suitable for our national conditions. Indeed, that statement isn't entirely wrong. But it also proves that our "national conditions" are abnormal and unhealthy. Chairman Mao once pointed out sharply. In a letter to six Central Political Committee members, he said, "Nude models (models) are necessary for painting and sculpture. Without them, it's not possible. Opposing them with feudal ideology is inappropriate." It is precisely this abnormal and unhealthy "feudal ideology" that has led to the distortion and destruction of the healthy beauty and art of the human body. Should this kind of "national condition" still be maintained and inherited by the Chinese people who overthrew feudalism? The result should be clear, but the reasons for the hesitation and opposition of many comrades are also very real. This is because in healthy human beauty and art, there are often also abnormal and unhealthy elements—the so-called "yellow" poison. Therefore, the task is to promote normal and healthy aspects while opposing the yellow.
