The famous "Copper galloping horse" unearthed from the East Han Dynasty tomb, is a national treasure bronze cultural relic, is also a tourism symbol of our country. From the side, a galloping horse stepping on the swallow, with a unique charm. However, when the profile photo was recently released, netizens said it was unsightly and even distorted. In my opinion, the appreciation of cultural relics should start from The Times and grasp the essence; Should not be subjective, should not grasp the rest.

The aesthetic should respect its unique style. This bronze work of art is from the Han Dynasty tomb and was made by craftsmen of the Han Dynasty. According to Li Zehou in The Course of Beauty, artworks of the Han Dynasty generally show highly exaggerated gestures, seeking raw power, movement and speed. You look at the rough clay figurines, you look at the ferocious gilt bronze ornaments, all show the magnificent aesthetic style of the Han Dynasty. The bronze galloping horse shape and the ferocious face on the front is caused by it. The artistic modeling style of different times must be contrary to the contemporary place, we should not impose modern vision on its body, regardless of the historical style and judge its beauty and ugliness. In my opinion, we should look at a problem historically, put it under certain conditions, and respect its style, which is to grasp the mainstream and essence of things.

It is beautiful because it knows its function. "Copper galloping horse" is also called "Ma super dragon Sparrow", which means the spirit of high spirited. Because of its unique shape, it has been recognized by the world and has become a symbol of Chinese tourism. Since it is a representative symbol, it must show an aesthetic side that fits the public, which is reasonable. If the ferocious face as a positive logo, it is surprising, which is in line with the aesthetic taste of the public aesthetic point of view, there is no doubt. However, when appreciating it as a work of art, people should put their eyes back to the Han Dynasty and appreciate and evaluate it from a historical point of view to be objective. Whether it is positive or lateral, it is just to grasp the whole.

Through the appearance, we can see the essence. Every work of art has its own cultural deposits and historical deposits, and every detail and shape are supported by the culture of The Times. It is the same in life, when we find a problem, we should put aside its surface phenomenon to find the essential cause, rather than just relying on common sense and sensibility to conclude. Ward, a statistician during World War II, calculated the number of bullet holes that should be modified and reinforced on returning fighters. Ward pushed back, pointing out that areas with fewer bullet wounds should be reinforced, because the aircraft with more bullet wounds are returning aircraft. Military personnel ignored planes that were hit and did not return. Ward finds the root through the phenomenon, overcomes the solidified thinking, and thus solves the problem. It can be seen that only by grasping the essence of the problem can we hit the key point; Solve the problem and grasp the key to hold the bull's nose.

Restore the truth, the speed of movement and vitality. The positive shape of the copper galloping horse is the state of struggling to run, which conforms to the principle of kinematics. If the facial expression of the running horse is "like a delicate flower shining on the water when it is quiet", it is still "running horse"? Whether it is positive or side view, the overall performance is the spirit of enterprising and enterprising, the display is the era of high spirit, speed and vitality deduce the national connotation of "heaven is strong, the gentleman when self-improvement", who cares about the moment of facial distortion expression when the champion?

Appreciation of cultural relics and we should grasp the essence of the problem, to solve the problem, to the key point, outline.
