Reader comments
There are not many books on aesthetics. After reading this book, I cannot say that I understand aesthetics, but I seem to have some understanding. Mr. Wu compiled Xu Beihong's autobiography into this book, which is a masterpiece. This book is a wonderful and enlightening walk with Mr. Zong Baihua's aesthetics.
Each volume in this book set has a unique insight that left me inspired. Especially "Aesthetics is a Lifelong Practice", Master Xu Beihong's words made me understand that the improvement of aesthetics is a long-term process. Just like when I deliver express delivery, I also appreciate the buildings and streets of the city. This is actually an aesthetic experience. This book makes me cherish the beauty in life more and encourages me to continuously improve my aesthetic ability.
