试论环境美的性质

On the Nature of Aesthetics of Environment

环境美不是一种美的形态,而是一种综合的美。它具有综合性和整体性。环境美作为自然与人共同创造的产物,具有生态性和文明性。环境作为现实的客观存在,它的美与艺术美有重要区别,它具有真实性、生活性、宜人性。环境美的根本性质是家园感。珍惜环境就是珍惜我们的家。

The beauty of environment lies not in a single form, but in a combination of many forms, a product of both nature and man. The beauty of environment as an entity is quite different from that of art, and the nature of the beauty is to foster a sense of homeliness on the part of human beings. To take good care of environment, therefore, is to take good care of our home.
