Features: The 4th Edition of the Model of the Painter's Human Body: 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 in line with our national conditions. Indeed, that statement isn't entirely wrong. But it actually proves that our "national conditions" are abnormal and unhealthy. Chairman Mao once pointed out this issue sharply. In a letter to six Central Political Committee members, he said, "Nude models are necessary for painting and sculpture. Without them, it's not possible. It's inappropriate to oppose them on ideological grounds." It is precisely the abnormal and unhealthy "feudal ideology" that has led to the distortion and destruction of the healthy beauty and art of the human body. Can this kind of "national conditions" still expect the Chinese people who overthrew feudalism to uphold and inherit it? 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 body 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.
