Features: Professor Zhu Guangqian's aesthetic system involves fundamental issues such as beauty, artworks, aesthetic experience, and the aesthetic life. This book selects some short essays written by Professor Zhu on these topics, divided into four sections: "Starlight," "Transcendent Realm," "Sublime Insight," and "Lively Interest," accompanied by beautiful illustrations, showcasing the profound contemplation and serene reverie of the master of aesthetics. Words are finite, but meaning is infinite. Infinite meaning is expressed through finite words, so there are many meanings that remain unsaid. Beauty is not only found in the part that is expressed, especially in the vast part that is implied and infinitely subtle. This is what is known as the beauty of silence.
