论曹操形象的恶之美

On Beauty Behind Cao Cao's Evil Image

从道德上讲曹操是大奸大恶之徒,但从审美上看,曹操则是一个充满魅力的美的形象。曹操形象之美源自于其自身的英雄之气,这种英雄之气在曹操生命的前期得到了充分地发挥和展现。统一中原之后,由于曹操自身的骄傲自满和追求享乐,他身上的英雄之气也随之逐渐缩减,从而导致曹操形象由美向丑的转变。曹操形象的美与道德无关,它是对善的超越,体现的是个体生命的张扬。

Morally,Cao Cao was a great evil man.But aesthetically,he was a perfect image with beauty and charm.Such beauty image originated from his heroism which was fully expressed in his early years.After the unification of central plains,due to his arrogance and indulgence in enjoyment,his heroism decreased.And this resulted in the change of his image from beauty to ugliness.His beauty in image had nothing to do with moral,went beyond kindness and showed his personality.
