The realm of travel

? Just like reading a book, for travelers, it requires both the determination and courage to go up to a tall building alone and see the end of the world; People's haggard thoughts. When you walk into each scenery with steps that are not afraid of fatigue, and your aesthetic eyes find that person in the dimly lit place, the journey process will spontaneously produce realm and meaning.

Travel is an individual sightseeing activity that is popular with the public. Generally speaking, any place that can attract travelers to go sightseeing must have rich landscapes from the outside, either beautiful, or majestic and magnificent. , these colorful external presentations give the landscape aesthetic attributes; from the inside, some scenic spots also contain the history, culture and customs of a certain period, which gives the landscape cultural color and artistic characteristics. Whether it is a miraculous natural scenery or an exquisite garden created by humans, when it is regarded as a piece of art, it will have a different realm for the traveler - the aesthetic subject.

For a traveler, in order to explore the paradise and beautiful scenery in his heart, he is not afraid of the distance of the road and the misery of wind and frost. He packs his luggage and still faces the wind and dust and sets off on the road. At this time, the determination of the subject His perseverance and spirit of adventure are admirable. For example, some travelers traveled thousands of miles and went all the way north to the Great Wall. After arriving at the Great Wall, they were able to continue their climbing journey. This is a manifestation of the subjective realm. The courage to climb to the top of Mount Tai; the courage to climb Mount Everest despite the dangers; and the courage to reach the sky even though the road to Shu is difficult are all manifestations of the will to travel. "Experiencers go to places that have not been reached, and explore places that are unknown to others." In the activity of travel, Xu Xiake, a geographer and traveler from the Ming Dynasty in my country, can be described as an "unexpected person through the ages." , strange and dangerous places. In short, the determination and courage to keep walking and not reach the Great Wall is not a hero, which is the first state of the travel subject.

Looking at the sea, you will know the magnificence; facing the West Lake, you will feel beautiful; looking at the gardens, you will be amazed. When you are in the colorful landscapes, the traveling subject can gain aesthetic appreciation while also being able to appreciate one scene or multiple scenes. When scenic spots are evaluated spontaneously and consciously, there is aesthetic participation. At this moment, it is like playing with a piece of art, consciously having aesthetic awareness, and the travel activity at this time is sublimated into an aesthetic activity. In the process of this aesthetic activity, a one-way aesthetic communication takes place between the landscape as the subject and object of travel. In the process of watching colorful landscapes, the aesthetic subject gains enjoyment and experience of beauty, and will spontaneously evaluate the landscape. "When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see all the mountains below" is the expression of the poet Du Fu's aesthetic experience and heroic ambition after climbing to the top of Mount Tai. "If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is better to wear heavy makeup and light makeup." This is the appropriate admiration and evaluation made by Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, after visiting the West Lake. When you walk around and look at flowers, you can catch the scenery with your eyes, but you can't let your mind wander. It can only be regarded as a fleeting glimpse, a dragonfly glancing at the water. Seeing with the eyes and the heart, mobilizing all the organs to feel the gifts of nature and the beautiful scenery carved by man, and making an accurate evaluation of the feelings and experiences, is the second realm of travel - the conscious aesthetic activities between subject and object. .

"There is a true meaning in this, but I have forgotten to explain it." This is the aesthetic surprise of the poet Tao Yuanming, who was picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountain. When the poet was picking chrysanthemums, he looked up at the beautiful scenery of Nanshan and couldn't help but be intoxicated and attracted. If you want to differentiate and forget words, you can reach a "selfless state" in which you forget both things and yourself, and the aesthetic subject and object merge into one, which in turn triggers more thoughts and associations. It is true that for most travelers, it is not easy to achieve a state of forgetting things and ourselves, and blending people and scenery. This state can be called the "poetic state" of travel, and requires the aesthetic subject to have considerable cultural accomplishment and hobbies. For example, some travelers go to the exhibition hall of "Qingdong Red History Exhibition" in Binhai Economic and Technological Development Zone. In the process of participating in aesthetics, they can have the association of "red memory". In the exhibition hall of Weifang Binhai City Art Center When visiting, you can unearth the long-standing fishing and salt culture, marine culture, etc. of Binhai on the basis of appreciation, and think of the future of Binhai. This realizes the dialogue between the subject and the landscape. Similarly, when viewing celebrity sculptures in the scenic spot, you can also explore the aesthetics of Binhai. Basically, being able to further explore the history, culture, humanistic customs behind the landscape, and associate with more memories is another level of travel, just like watching a wonderful drama or movie, being intoxicated and wanting to forget. Yanjiang is another realm within a realm. People and scenery, eyes and aesthetics collide fiercely, shining bright and moving sparks, allowing the soul to bathe in the rain and dew of the beautiful landscape, and let the thoughts linger on for thousands of years, letting the thoughts roam freely on the aesthetic grassland. gallop.
