Prime Cut Philosophy

Golden split rate, 0.618033988 ......, Is a magical irrational number. It not only plays a magical role in mathematics, but also finds the existence of this genie in almost all aspects of human life in architecture, aesthetics, art, and music.
Three thousand six hundred years ago, the people of Babylon and the ancient Egyptian people split gold and used it to build the Great Pyramid. Two thousand three hundred years ago, for the first time, the ancient Greek mathematician euralade used a geometric method to calculate the golden split rate. Michanlang, da. Vinci separated gold and dissolved it in their painting sculptures. Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach are in perfect harmony in their music. The most suitable temperature for the human body is to cut the temperature of the human body with the golden split rate. The benevolent creator also uses the golden split to create a pretty girl's slim body ......

Although the ancient Chinese did not know this magic number, they left us with many reasonable words: The Good painters leave White, the good ones say, the good ones forget the words, the good writers lack pen, and the good ones are crazy, wise man is foolish. These ancient philosophies are a metaphor for the essence of golden division. The Ming dynasty, Li Huan said: "It is nothing to imagine ." Traditional Chinese Painting, calligraphy pays attention to "meaning to pen less than", pen to is too exposed, meaning to aftertaste infinite. And inventory tray out is an exhibition, and leave White or useless, that is, only a large half of the child (0.618) to leave people with room for imagination and play. Qi Baishi, a Chinese painting master, said: "The painting is between the image and the image. If it is too cool, it is not like a bully ." If the painting is too similar, it becomes a "dead painting". If it is not similar, it is a "Blind painting", which is purely confusing. The trick is to grasp the "similarity and not similarity". The golden split rate may be the scale of the master in the heart. Bai Juyi's qiangu Singer "Xing", from the "string cover the sound of thoughts, it seems that he is not satisfied with his life," to the large string, the small string cut, "the large beads and small beads fall into the jade disk ", suddenly.

Ice spring is cool,
It never stops.
Don't worry, hate,
At this time, there is no sound.

This silence brings more melancholy to the followers than the fierce string. The sorrow and sorrow in the music cannot be outputted. This poem not only tells the true meaning of "the good and the good have heard", but also you will find that from the sound to the silent, and from the silent to the sound, the turning point lies in the golden split period. If this analysis is far-fetched, let's look at the oldest Guqin in China and see the magic of golden separation everywhere. To the time when the guqin invention has no test, there are legends of Fuxi, Shennong, Or shun di. Qinbei two pools, left dragon and right Phoenix. There are three hubs for controlling the pronunciation of music strings: NLP, palm, and Phoenix. The piano has five strings and sound has eight degrees. The Piano Festival as the emblem, "to the piano long all three damage one, but also three benefits one, and the conversion increase or decrease", a total of 13 emblem. Arrange these together, two pools, three nets, five strings, eight audios, and thirteen badges. What a wonderful arrangement is exactly the fabric number, and the odd ratio of the two adjacent fabric is getting closer and closer to the Golden split rate. Is it intentional or coincidental? It seems that the understanding and application of the Golden division by the Chinese Ancients are indeed similar to those of the West.

But what is the relationship between the golden split rate and philosophy of life?

Throughout the long history, people intentionally or unintentionally advocate two types of Philosophy of Life: Zero-One philosophy and half-half philosophy.

What is the zero one philosophy? This is my name. In binary, there are only two values: zero and one. In the human world, they correspond to the following: beauty and ugliness, good and evil, truth and false ...... Both sides are opposite to each other. However, as a philosophy, they are unified.

Those who believe in the zero one philosophy must be gamblers who dare to play. For them, pursuit is the purpose of life, and struggle with people is happiness. They may be the residents of the city, or the children of the family. The root cause of their journey toward zero is the complexity of ambition, occasional opportunities, greed for power, or forced helplessness ...... They may pursue the ultimate in a variety of ways: Some want to win the world, some want to win the first party, some want to win the gold medal title, and some want to win the blue sky and the red sky ......

As a result, they have triggered a battle dispute in the World, created a disaster and suffering in the world, performed a tragedy and comedy in the world, and wrote a history in the world ......

"The sky is shining like a storm, and the Weijia sea is home to the hometown. the great warrior is watching the Quartet." It is a cheers to everyone. "The number of character is still watching the present." It is a song to everyone. However, on this road, there is more sorrow and disappointment. "Wind, Xiao, Yi, water, and cold, the strong will not be able to return again when they go" is a sigh from renrenren zhishi, "Cut off the big scar in the head bowl, and I will be a hero after 20 years ", it is the battle of rivers and lakes for zero. "Discovering the red dust, all empty" is the identification of zero when all the ideas are gray. "When the time is not good, the day is me", is the hero when there is no way to sorrow for zero.

The historical records contain the famous saying "The birds are full, the bows are hidden, the rabbits are dead, and the dogs are dead. Although it is the historical history of crossing the river and killing heroes, it is necessary for future generations to guard against the "only common suffering, not common prosperity. Its potential meaning is not the tragic ending of "one" and suddenly returning to "zero.

The road to zero is a road of no return. People struggling on this road are hard-working, hard-working, too tired, too many failures, and too few successes ...... What if I succeed? Li Bai said: "The sages of ancient times are lonely," Su Shi said: "The city is too cold." Jin Yong said: "The city is lonely for defeat." The common people said: "The first son is rotten ". Cao Xueqin's song "song" tells the world that "good is". Isn't it a vivid solution to the zero-one philosophy.

The half-half philosophy is opposite to the zero-one philosophy. This term was not invented by me. It is from a short article published in "China Youth Daily" for 89 years. "Half", 0.5. In the whole body, each is half. In fact, the initiator of half-half philosophy is Lao Tzu, whose essence lies in the "moderate way ". Lao Tzu's "moral Sutra" is too harsh. Here, the "Half song" made by Li Miyun in the Qing Dynasty is used to show the beauty of the Half:

Over half of the imagination,
A half-character is useless ......
Just half a day of drinking,
Flowers are half-spitting.
Half-Sail fan,
The horse is stable ......

Coincidentally, German philosopher Nietzsche once wrote a poem "the path of life ":

Don't stay in Hirano,
Do not climb too high.
Watching from a half height,
The world looks wonderful.

It seems that these philosophers all advocate "the moderate way, the natural way ". The purpose of the half-width philosophy is to teach people to get up and down, to be calm, to be indecisive, to be honest and to be honest. In special circumstances, you can even get away with it and report your complaints with respect to your morality.

Zheng Banqiao's "rare confusion" is a half-width philosophy of closing one eye with one eye. Li Bai's "Life has wine to have a good time, do not make the gold blank to the month" is a half-wise philosophy of the loss of the waves. Tao Yuanming's "returning to forests" is a half-philosophy of returning to forests without an epiphany. Ordinary people's "contentment is always happy", is a pure and simple half philosophy as radish green vegetables.

Life itself is the purpose of life. Living with food and clothing is happiness. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, living in this kind of philosophy, the idea of a high realm is "no fame, no honor, no humiliation, no annoyance, no worries ", while all sentient beings are desperate to pass, as a one-day monk hit a day. Some people in this class feel cool, some people feel ordinary, some people feel bored, some people feel awkward ......

However, from the beauty of the Golden split rate, I have learned another life philosophy with an infinite charm. It is called the 0.618 philosophy, or the gold philosophy, which is louder. It is similar to half-width philosophy: peaceful, stable, and happy. However, it is a little more advanced, a little more enterprising, beyond a little mediocre.

The journey of life is short and long. On this journey, you must have a career, a life, and a friend ...... Every time you use the golden split rate, you will have a kind of inarticulate feeling ......

Make good use of 0.618 in your career. It's too high. "Mu Xiuyu Lin, the wind is mandatory." It's going too fast, and "the speed is not up ". The golden splitting gives you the ideal starting point. It neither forces people nor squashes themselves. Give yourself room for development, and give people the convenience to surpass others. You are diligent, but not too tired. You are outstanding, but not out-of-band. You have a purpose, but do not expect it. You have achievements, but are not crazy. Even if the storm comes, there are high blocks for you, and the short ones to support you ......

Make good use of 0.618 in your life. You must have an economic foundation that is based on the middle class, but never greedy for money. Give good guidance and education to children, but do not force them to adapt to your interests. The husband and wife need to be loving and harmonious, but they need to leave a space for each other. You need to be right-hearted, and cultivate your own family, but you also need to be pleasant, pleasant and romantic. But it is hard to come. Dressed in Yiya, but it must be noted that the material resources are hard. The food can only be eaten at six points to maintain good health. Only when the wine is drunk can we experience the three flavors of dukang ......

Make good use of 0.618 when making friends. The old saying "only talk in three minutes" will make you hypocritical, and opening up the six rules will bring you a lot of sincere smiles. Treat people with truth, but if you are too close, you must stay away from what you are. The old friend asks for help, but it's not a big deal. When we meet each other, we can feel at ease, but remember that "the heart of the enemy is indispensable ". Please be generous and generous, but guard against the pressure on your friends to return. When you get to a friend's house, you have to talk and laugh ......

The golden philosophy is like heaven and earth. It has the wild interests of the "downba People" and the elegance of the "Spring snow. Use the current term: It is highly operable.

Lin Yutang explained the Ideal Realm of the Golden philosophy in the article "Art of Life" by metaphor: "After observing Chinese literature and philosophy, I came to a conclusion: the highest ideal character of Chinese culture is a kind of person who has a view of life in terms of understanding. This kind of daguan leads to a broad embrace. It enables a person to spend his life in a gentle mood. Let alone fame and fortune, and live happily. This kind of view also produces self-consciousness, unrestrained hobbies, arrogant and arrogant attitudes. Only with this kind of free consciousness and indifferent attitude can a person enjoy a happy life deeply and enthusiastically ."

Please go to the Golden philosophy! Please practice the golden philosophy!

There are more people who believe in the gold philosophy, so there will be less battles in the world, less scams, less Trojans, and more people who believe in the gold philosophy, in this world, there will be more peace, more sincerity, more laughter, more fun, and more kites in the blue sky, A picnic in the white clouds ......

The world may be even better.
