0.6 18 is called "golden ratio". What is the magic?

There is nothing magical about the golden ratio of 0.6 18. It is just a concept in aesthetics and mathematics. Objects with a golden ratio look beautiful, but objects without a golden ratio are not necessarily worse. Many ordinary people think that the golden ratio is the most beautiful in the world, but it is not. Many designers even disdain the golden ratio.

The so-called golden ratio, the popular explanation is that a line segment is divided into two sections by a point, and the ratio of the length of the short section to the length of the long section is equal to the ratio of the length of the long section to the total length, so we call this ratio the golden ratio, also known as the golden ratio. In fact, the golden ratio is not a rational number, its value should be (? 5- 1)/2, only takes the approximation of the first three decimal places, so we always use 0.6 18.

Next, I will elaborate on why the so-called? Golden ratio? Actually, it's not magical at all. First of all, we need to know who first put forward this golden ratio. According to the present records, Pythagoras, an ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher, first proposed that the perfect ratio was 0.6 18. Then Plato proposed on the basis of Pythagoras? Golden ratio? This view holds that 0.6 18 is a symbol of beauty. So we must realize this. It is not that the number 0.6 18 is beautiful, but that they think it is beautiful, and then ask all of us and them to have this consciousness.

Many people may say that it is obvious that there is a golden ratio in many famous architectural paintings and some designs. How can we say that he is not magical? They will also show many paintings of the golden ratio curve to prove their point. However, if you go deeper, most of the pictures of this so-called curve can be put on. Many manufacturers claim that their products meet the golden ratio, and also show schematic diagrams. In fact, the golden section curves on these schematic diagrams are all imposed by designers in the later period, and there is no magic at all.
