Features: If there truly exists an emperor—Nature itself, who created all things in the universe and the beauty of nature, and who, using the wisdom and hands of humans, created the beauty of human society, then this book is a hymn dedicated to him. The author of this book believes that aesthetics is not purely theoretical aesthetics. Aesthetics is both the aesthetics of art, the aesthetics of nature and science, and even the aesthetics of everyday life. Therefore, the real-world content involved in the author's discussions is very extensive; it includes natural beauty, social beauty, artistic beauty, scientific beauty, and the beauty of the sublime, among others. It also touches upon issues such as religion, morality, law, class, will, freedom, human nature, love, friendship, sexuality, marriage, career, ideals, and hope. On all these topics, the author provides concrete, detailed, and profound analysis and elaboration based on the view that "beauty is vitality—vitality is beauty."
