What is the imagination of China people?

Imagination is the ability to process and transform the objects remembered in people's minds, thus forming and creating new images. It has been circulating on the Internet that China people's imagination is worse than that of foreigners, but in fact, China people have rich imagination as early as ancient times. Do you believe it? You see:

There was a poet in the Tang Dynasty who loved to watch beautiful women dance swords. After watching the sword dance of Li Linying's Twelve Niangs, his imagination could not stop. From the sword dance, I immediately thought of the sun, lightning and thunder, and the rolling Yangtze River: "They are as bright as the nine suns shot down by archers in the sky, and as fast as angels in front of dragon wings. She began to be like a thunderbolt, venting its anger and ending the shining calm like rivers and the sea. "

We don't know if Du Fu has ever seen thunderous thunder and the power of rivers and seas, but he certainly hasn't seen Houyi shooting at the sun, let alone the scene of Long Xiang. It is this imaginative metaphor, because the myth shows touching reality, which is the charm of imagination.

Besides Du Fu, Li Bai, a poet, is also a teenager who is interested in the universe and good at flying his imagination. After all, he also said that the immortal loved him very much: "The immortal caressed me and I became immortal." Of course, now we know that there are no twelve-story five-city Bai Yujing in the sky, but only the atmosphere with a thickness of 1000 km ... However, Bai Yujing is undoubtedly more suitable for us to imagine the wonderful dreamland above the blue sky.

If the literati's imagination is expressed in words and sentences, then the craftsman's imagination is expressed in artifacts.

From the development of China traditional furniture from pre-Qin to Ming and Qing Dynasties, to the details or overall changes of Yunlong decoration from simple to complex, it is the whimsy of craftsmen. However, if it can best reflect the imagination of craftsmen, I am afraid there is nothing more suitable than lacquerware.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the production of lacquerware has been particularly "random". Draw a pattern, then sprinkle extremely fine gold and silver powder on the pattern with a bamboo tube wrapped in gauze, and then paint on the surface repeatedly. After being completely dried, it is polished and polished to reveal a unique decorative effect. The style is natural and deep, subtle and gorgeous, which can be graceful or elegant.

Natural and profound, subtle and gorgeous, graceful and complex, fresh and elegant, how can these almost contradictory pictures be unified through opposition?

In fact, it's just that "different people have different opinions." The same lacquerware, from this perspective, may be dotted; Looking at it from another angle, it has become a submarine coral ... thousands of things are hidden in this tube which is only 10 cm long.

In this way, rich imagination is not a bad thing. After all, Mr. Lu Xun once said: At the sight of irregular texture on lacquerware, some people think of golden notes, some people think of deep starry sky, some people think of mysterious vastness, some people think of rare rarity, and some people think of sly cat's eyes. Only at this level can the imagination of China people leap forward.

Have you ever envied their imagination? How can we improve our imagination? Here are five secrets to share with you:

1. Stop thinking that something is wrong, never cling to an idea, and think more about whether it is possible to be right and whether there are other solutions.

2. Think more and think about what you have seen and heard. Let what you remember in your mind be fully digested and absorbed to form your own thinking, and it is dialectical thinking, so that what you remember from others becomes your own.

3. Cultivate the ability to be in a hazy state. What is a hazy state? When listening to music, we should not only listen to the lyrics sung, but also immerse ourselves in the artistic conception of the story outlined by music. If you cry or laugh sadly, it means that you have entered a hazy state.

4. Often play what-if analysis games, with rich imagination. What if your computer has a mouth? Can your mouth talk? Does this mouth need feeding? Can computers and computers kiss? Don't be bored, remember, this is a kind of training.

5. The simplest and most effective thing is sleeping. Research shows that less sleep will affect imagination, but note that more sleep will improve imagination. So, get enough sleep, but don't oversleep, otherwise, no amount of imagination, "dream" can shine into reality.
