美的解释——单纯、混沌和秩序——与杨振宁先生于新加坡谈美

The Interpretations of Beauty:Simple,Innocent and Order

对于宇宙本体的追寻,因着东西方文化的不同,而有不同的路径。会意、苟简、为道日损、返朴归真等理念,是中国的艺术能自立于世界民族之林而厥美长存的根本原因;无论是科学,还是艺术,都以自己的方式证明着宇宙的无限和美的纯粹,减法的目的是趋近大造的苟简和单纯,不是生出一些如后现代主义之类的不可或睹的怪胎。

There are many different ways to search for the noumenon of the universe because of the different cultures of the East and the West. Chinese arts have many characteristics, such as understanding, simple and unadorned, pure and sincere, which are the basic reasons for Chinese arts to stand in the world. Both science and arts prove the infinites of the universe and the pure beauty. The purpose of the subtraction is for the simpleness and pureness of the world rather than for some absurd talks like the postmodemism.
