Since ancient times, heroes have loved the beauty, Chinese literati have always had lofty ideals, and regarded themselves as the heroes of the times, while pouring their feelings and blood into literary works, but with the intention of creating a beautiful and noble beauty. Beauty and heroes have always been the favorite objects of recitation of the Chinese literati.

China, an ancient East Asian country with a history of 5,000 years, flowing with the thick and long-lasting water of the Yellow River, nourishing the industrious and simple people, and nurturing the elegant and relaxed Chinese culture. The splendid flower of civilization blooms here. Poetry and song contain the poet's deep love for the nation, for the country, for the times, the history of the scriptures and the collection reflects the literati to look at the heavens and the people, through the ancient and modern wisdom and tolerance of the literary sentiment, the four great inventions, the Silk Road is to highlight China's grand beauty and high momentum. China is a beauty, gracefully leaning on the ancient beautiful East, watching the generations change the wind and clouds fall, calmly tell the mysterious story about the Chinese nation. She has the most impassioned and high-pitched emotions, the most tolerant and delicate mind. She is the most beautiful beauty in the hearts, paintings and texts of the Chinese literati. This beauty is both the virtuous monarch they have been longing for and the idealized self in their hearts - the beauty with a noble heart and a long way to go, longing for the motherland to be rich, strong and prosperous, and to be the watch of all the worlds, which demonstrates the spirit of a high-spirited and upward pursuit of the nation.

In "Poetry 300", beauty has become the most desired pursuit of the general people. "Poetry 300" first "Guan Ju" mentioned at the beginning of the chapter, "is the" Guan Ju "happy to get a lady to match the gentleman, especially in the into the virtuous, not obscene its color, mourning the fair, thinking of the virtuous talent, and no harm to the heart of goodness". Beauty is a beautiful and dignified woman, but also a gentleman, is a virtuous talent, is the ancient people of the ideal of the pursuit of good, so "do not lust for its color", valuing the personal integrity of the cultivation of the rites; so "woe fair, think of the virtuous talent, but no harm to the heart of goodness," can be adored, can be pursued, but to be in line with the sentiment of the end, but not to the end, but to the end of the heart. pursue, but to be in line with the feelings and stop the ritual, not profane play. This is what Guan Ju is trying to tell us. It tells us a story about the pursuit of love between men and women, and expresses men's yearning for beautiful women. The lady in "My Fair Lady, Gentleman's Good Marriage" is not only a beautiful and dignified woman. That is also talented, ideal people hope to be able to be a wise monarch appreciation, in order to achieve the maximization of the value of life. Similarly, "reed reed" in the water side of the beauty, is always shrouded in a hazy mist, no matter how hard people, always difficult to get close to, is not precisely the Chinese literati pursuit of ideals but repeatedly encountered frustration life portraits? From ancient times to the present, the Chinese people have been united in unity, in order to have a bright and glorious future for the motherland and efforts, and struggle, the national spirit of the origin, and has always been alive and well, everlasting new.

However, the road to chasing the dream is never smooth, the rise of the nation is also based on the rise and fall of countless dynasties. "Qu Yuan banished, was assigned" Li Sao "; Zuo Qiu blindness, the "National Language"; Sun Zi Bin feet," the Art of War "repair column ...... by and large the virtuous saints angry for the work also. This person are all intention to have a knot, not through the way, so the past, think of the future." Qu Yuan was trapped in the predicament of slanderous officials, the king's loss of faith, and saw the decline of the country and the people's inability to live in poverty, and could not get rid of the anxiety in his heart, so he wrote "Li Sao", which expresses his firm but helpless inner aspirations. Qu Yuan did not express his feelings directly, but chose to use "vanilla" and "beauty" as a metaphor for himself. "In the past, the purity of the three queens was the place of all fragrances. Miscellaneous Shen pepper and fungus gui Ruoxi, not Wei sewing the flowers of the蕙," the poet's heart is as pure and beautiful as the flowers, I hope the monarch can see their own talent, but "but the grass and trees of the fall, fear of the beauty of the late", time does not wait for people Heh, even if a lifetime of stunning talent, high aspirations, but not the grass and trees, beauty, fading The time does not wait for people, even if the life of the amazing talent, lofty aspirations, but can not compete with the fading of the grass, the beauty of the late twilight, without a bright ruler, can not realize the ideal of life.

"Poetry 300" through the male and female love praise, expressed the social order of the ritual of the affirmation and maintenance; Chu Rhetoric also has a lot of fugue singing "beauty", are on the personal pursuit of life ideals, the realization of social value of the reflection and affirmation. "Beauty" is a metaphor for the image of the literati who aspire to gain the appreciation of the Ming ruler by virtue of their own talents, and then seek fame and fortune, and a metaphor for the image of the ruler who is able to recognize people with a discerning eye, appoint the virtuous and promote the capable, and open up to the bright and influential. In the pursuit of national ideals and the realization of the prosperity of the motherland, whether it is "Poetry 300", Chu Ci, or other classic Chinese writings, and contemporary China to promote the excellent traditional culture, the realization of the national dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream have similarities and wonders.

The "beauty" of classical Chinese culture is naturally not just a fictional, idealized image of women in the classics, but people are more than willing to dig out the very graceful women from the long river of history, and then paint their eyebrows and dye the fat delicately with a craftsman's brush, and re-shape them with the rich and deep literary and historical heritage, and put a new makeup on them for the times. They use the rich and deep literary and historical background to reshape them and put on the new makeup of the times for them. The most well-known of them are the Four Beauties: Xi Shi, Wang Zhao Jun, Diao Cicada and Yang Yu Huan. The four beauties in history may not lose their reputation for beauty, but undoubtedly, Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, and Diaochan's patriotic sentiment of sacrificing their lives for the sake of righteousness, and the national sentiment of putting the country first are colorful additions to the Chinese literati, who have combined the loyalty of the beauties with the loyalty of the heroes. The "loyalty" of the "beauty" and the "feelings" of the "hero" are placed in the same national crisis in the context of the times, which better reflects the unremitting pursuit of national unity and national solidarity by Chinese literati since ancient times, reflecting their deep patriotic feelings and the national ideology of great unity.

"Xizi down Gusu, a barge chased owl". At the time of the struggle between Wu and Yue, the state of Yue was humiliated and subordinate to King Goujian of Yue, while Xishi endured humiliation and saved the country with her body, relying on the teachings of Fan Li and Wenzhong, and practicing the beauty plan, which made the lustful King of Wu indulge in the country of tenderness all day long, and "from then on, the king did not have an early morning", which ultimately resulted in the hegemony of the country to be transferred to the other side.

"The Han family Qin Di Yue, streaming shadow lighting consort; a on the Jade Pass Road, the end of the world to go not return". Wang Zhaojun is the most righteous woman in ancient China, sacrificing her life for the country's "beauty". The Han Dynasty was in decline, and the powerful officials were in power, so it was necessary to exchange a woman for the peace of a country through a peace treaty. Zhaojun was so unfortunate that she was not favored by the king and kept in the cold palace, and was sent to the Hu land and could never go back to her hometown; Zhaojun was so innocent that she could not decide her own destiny because she was a weak woman with a heavy responsibility. Literary people y love this "beauty hero", "Mingfei song", "Zhaojun word", "Han Palace Autumn Moon" and so on are they wrote to this national hero's hymn.

"The lilac tongue spits out a steel sword to cut down the treacherous and evil ministers of the country". The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Diaochan's national color, with a cap of the country, she is the heroes **** with the same plan to get rid of Dong Zhuo's merit. This a red face in the crowd have suffered Dong Zhuo dictatorship but can not get rid of the time, as a vulnerable female stream even bravely stepped forward and voluntarily sacrificed themselves. Under the singing of Chinese literati and Luo Guanzhong's processing, Diaochan can become a heroine who sacrifices her life and is not afraid of power. The Chinese literati's portrayal of Xishi, Wang Zhaojun, and Diaochan as "beauties" not only reflects the deep connection between "beauty" and "hero" in the classical Chinese literary canon --The beauty can become a hero, and the hero is also the beauty pursued by the literati, which also reflects the literary ideals of the ancient Chinese literati, who wrote the new classic masterpieces not only for the sake of circulation, but also for the sake of realizing their ideals of life in that era, and shaping a capital "capital" poet image with the pen of literature. The new classic was written not just to be passed on to the world, but also to realize their ideals of life in that era.

China has always been a land of dreams. When foreign scholars lament that Chinese people always dwell on the beauty of the past prosperity, they do not understand that because they once had, they will be eager to forge ahead, eager to go beyond. The beauty of history that the Chinese nation once possessed has left a deep mark in the river of years, enriched the cultural heritage of the nation, and become a source of strength for the Chinese people to bravely realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and this historical heaviness is both a mission and an incentive.

"There is the beauty of a man Ruoxi, see it not forgotten. One day without seeing Ruoxi, thinking like crazy. Beauty" is the Chinese literati have the most historical depth of spiritual temperament, the most meaningful historical mission, from the old inheritance to the present, personal ego and the era of the combination of the big I, literati in the literary creation to reflect the historical aspects of social change, thinking about the social causes of national progress, and took the initiative to request to join the ministers for the monarchs to offer advice, they bear the burden of realizing the national rejuvenation, but also the mission and motivation.
