The basic theoretical color beauty of literary aesthetics

Objects have their colors under the illumination of daytime light, and these colors act on human vision together with the shape of objects. After comprehensive analysis of the brain, it leaves people with the impression of color and forms the concept of color that can leave the body. Because everything in the world is colored, and people in reality are colored. Marx said: "The feeling of color is the most common form of general aesthetic feeling." Color is connected with the world and is an integral part of beauty. The three primary colors of red, yellow and blue and their mixed colors can cause complex aesthetic effects. Willianm Hogarth, a British aesthete, said: "Color beauty refers to such a configuration of various colors and their shades on objects, which is obviously diverse and ingenious in any composition."

Color produces visual effects. As a visual object, color can produce different visual effects on people because of its different material properties. For example, cyan, blue and green can make people feel cold, red, orange and yellow can make people feel hot, and dark colors can make people relax. According to this visual feeling, people can deliberately create some visual effects when building their lives, arranging the environment and coloring the pictures. In the hospital ward, in order to reduce the mental burden of patients, all the furnishings are mainly white and light color; However, in court, it is hard to imagine what effect a light-colored environment will bring. Gothic churches in the Middle Ages used various colors of glass embedded in windows to form geometric patterns and scenes in the Bible. In the dark church, the slightly colorful light shines through the stained glass, giving people an unspeakable mysterious feeling. Colors can create emotional associations. Originally, from the material of color and people's physiological feelings about it, there is no destined emotional significance, but color is the object to stimulate feelings. "Looking for a move, my heart is shaking." "Looking for a phone, who will be safe?" Color is the introduction of materials, and people's psychological conditions turn color into meaningful tones, which have emotional significance of color. At this time, color has become people's emotional attachment. The emotional effect of color reflects people's feelings about the good and bad of color. People's emotional reaction to color is closely related to people's actual experience in life. For example, dark blue makes people feel calm and peaceful, and red makes people feel warm, which is the result of historical accumulation in human life. For the color that makes people particularly happy and sad, it can be called the main color. Mozi was sad when he saw Susie. In the boudoir of Wang Changling's Forever in My Heart, "I suddenly saw a strange willow color and regretted teaching my husband to find a topic." Niu Xiji wrote a woman's exhortation in the poem "Tea Son": "Looking back, it is important to remember the blue silk skirt and pity the grass everywhere." The visual result of Yingying's farewell in The West Chamber is: "Whoever is drunk at dawn will always make people cry!" The emotional effects caused by colors here are completely different, and psychological conditions are the driving factors. Wen Yiduo has a poem called Color. He described how his life was endowed with emotional elements from a worthless piece of white paper by various colors in life: "Since green gave me life, red gave me enthusiasm, yellow gave me loyalty, blue gave me nobility, pink gave me hope, and gray gave me sadness, then I died in black." Some of these feelings are shared by people, and some are special subjective colors.

The color is symbolic. In the long-term social practice, according to some characteristics of color itself and some connection with people's lives, a certain color has been given a social meaning and become a symbolic color with code meaning. For example, red is always associated with fire and blood. From hunting, war and other activities in primitive times, people feel that blood is associated with courage, strength and achievement; Fire is associated with heat and light. Therefore, red has multiple symbolic meanings. Glory, loftiness, enthusiasm, loyalty, brightness and so on can all be symbolized by red. After the proletariat started the revolution, red gained more social symbolic significance, and almost everything in the revolution could be symbolized by red. Due to the differences of times, history, nationalities and regions, the symbolic meanings given to colors by people are often very different. In ancient China, green was considered as a cheap color, and in Yuan Dynasty, it was used by musicians. In the legend of Noah's Ark, olive green symbolizes peace and hope, and modernity has become a universal symbol of postal services in many countries. The symbolic meaning of color is attached to form, so it is sometimes associated with concrete tangible things. The festive symbol of the red gauze lamp is inseparable from the shape of the lamp. The red car is used to put out fires. At this time, the significance of red urgency is inseparable from the tangible thing of the car. Therefore, to understand the symbolic meaning of color, it is necessary to contact specific environmental conditions and see its ambiguity and evasion. The symbolic meaning of color is country, nation, class, party and individual. Individuals can use a certain color as a symbol of a certain meaning according to association. For example, the last paragraph of Chen Hui Martyr's Dedication-Singing for the Garden of Eden wrote: "My Jinchaji, maybe, my singing will unfortunately stop tomorrow, and my life will be torn apart by the enemy. However, my flesh and blood will turn into a fragrant flower and bloom on your way. That flower-red is loyalty, yellow is purity, white is love, green is happiness, and purple is tenacity. " The symbolism of white and purple belongs to the poet himself.
