The beauty of animals and plants The third final chapter of the Yunnan tour

always biased, and on the second day of going to Yunnan, I set off at 7 o'clock in the morning, in fact, I was still visiting Pu'er. The first attraction in Yunnan is not to leave Pu'er and go straight to Xishuangbanna, but to watch the Sun Lake National Forest Park located in Pu'er City. This seems to be in contrast to the botanical garden I visited later in Xishuangbanna, which is not only densely covered with jungles, but also inhabited by various animals. The Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden, which I went to later, is a scenic spot in Xishuangbanna, another area of Yunnan. Although this botanical garden is a national scientific research institution, because it studies tropical plants, various tropical plants also grow in it. These two attractions, with their animals and plants, form a contrast.

This gave me the opportunity to have a little time and space intersection, and put the animals and plants of these two attractions together to fiddle with a little text, which is probably the function of the so-called human mind. Linear time moves forward, and only human memory and thinking can make it linear and mutated. The three-dimensional space is three-dimensional, it does not flow linearly like time, but it can also be glued together with its three-dimensional characteristics through people's memory and thinking. In this way, the thinking of time and space bonding and human behavior after thinking about it may turn our feelings about time and space into readable text, visual pictures, visual and audible videos, and so on.

These texts, pictures or videos record our aesthetic feelings, moral feelings, and deeper life feelings. Moral feelings are complex, and life feelings are even more complicated. But people's feelings about beauty, although they are also very different, seem to be easier to find common ground. At least, the Dai people, the Kino people, and other ethnic minorities in Yunnan probably have the same aesthetic feelings for the animals and plants that nature gives them life, just like the Han people.

Nature and human beings, through their own activities, place countless tangible objects in time and space, including of course the animals and plants that nature gives them life. This trip to Yunnan, these tangible objects of nature, it gives people beauty. It is so beautiful that people always want to remember that moment and forever remain in the memory of the brain, so they use a camera to capture these natural objects one by one into electronic storage.

The

beauty of natural objects is determined by the subject's state of mind?Or is it a pleasant feeling generated by the projection of the target object into the subject's brain? Now I really have time to think about this inexplicable but mysterious metaphysical problem.

In the year of Gengzi, when the new crown epidemic is raging, there are always countless fears and melancholy that attack your state of mind from time to time. You worry about yourself, and you often have to worry about your children overseas. These worries are actually what the Chinese idiom calls "worrying about the sky" and are useless. But if the state of mind is not cultivated, these worries often come uninvited and cannot be driven away. In addition to using the pursuit of knowledge to dispel fear and worry, nature is the best elixir. Those animals and plants that glow with vitality and spirituality, the beauty they bring to people, at least at the moment when you feel beauty, fear and worry naturally leave you obediently.

In this regard, to obtain the feeling of beauty, there must be a projection of the target object on you. Or it is a rhythmic sound, or a picture with a wonderful figure, or a delicious and fragrant smell, or... The beauty of music, as well as the beauty of taste, etc., are more mysterious and mysterious, so I will only appeal to a little self-feeling text about visual beauty.

The

element of visual beauty may be the symmetry, balance and coordination of tangible objects. The physical structure of all animals and plants is almost without exception, all of which are symmetrical structures. The frangipani, owl and large ladybug in the above picture are particularly evident. Many people like to do reflection photography, isn't this reflection a model of symmetry? The reflection of the image of the real world under the water becomes a mirror image symmetrical with the real image, which is naturally a kind of deformed symmetry, but it is indeed beautiful.

The symmetrical and perverted beauty of the so-called mirror image is probably a gift from nature to mankind. Symmetrical metamorphosis is also manifested in living organisms, and there is a key to the beauty of living organisms, they are dynamic. The dynamics of animals and plants will produce the so-called symmetrical beauty in their behavioral changes, which brings the discussion of beauty to a deeper level. For the further abstraction of symmetrical beauty, in physics, it has become a source of a priori proposition in physical philosophy, so the famous physicist and German expert who studied symmetry has a famous saying:

"All transcendental statements in physics originate from symmetry."

(Reprinted from the title page of "Symmetry" edited by Wang Yiran and Wang Mingqiu)

Symmetry, a priori statement from aesthetics to physics, seems to have left aesthetics. But the most abstract symmetry study is not aesthetics, physics or biology, and this "abstract best" should belong to logic. Since Pierce in the United States began to pay attention to relational logic, the most important relationship in relational logic is symmetry. The physical, aesthetic, and other properties of symmetry seem to have all been abstracted in this discipline and become a purely relational characteristic. Our human thinking must examine all kinds of different relationships.

Well, Yunnan Tour is written here, I should continue to care about Lewis's modal logic, the relational semantics of modal logic is the study of various relationships, naturally including this symmetry.
