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," "Enlightened Realm," "Sublime Insight," and "Lively Interest," accompanied by beautiful illustrations. It showcases the serene contemplation and profound reflections 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 just beautiful in what is already expressed, especially in the vast part that is unexpressed yet full of subtle and boundless implications. This is what is known as the beauty of silence.
