《“清晰”的暴政:为何,最深刻的美,只,栖息于“朦胧”之中?》

《The Tyranny of "Clarity": Why, Does the Most Profound Beauty, Only, Dwell in "the Hazy"?》

Please, feel, we, at this moment, that which, (we) are in, "the World." 4K screens, take "pores" and "flaws," magnifying (them), until, nowhere to hide. Retina-level "resolution," lets "pixels," become, the "new ruler" for measuring "Truth." Big Data's "dashboards," attempt, to, take, humanity's, most complex "Emotions" and "Desires," all, quantify (them) into, clearly discernible "charts."

We, unprecedentedly, live in, an, by "Clarity" "besieged" "Era." This, is a "Tyranny." A, demanding, everything, must, be "Seen," be "Defined," be "Understood," be "At-a-glance-Clear," unchallengeable "Tyranny." It, while, giving us "More Information," also, is, silently, stripping, us, of, an, older, and, more precious "Ability": That, within "the Unseen" things, to "Feel," "Ability." That, abiding in "Mystery," to "Imagine," "Ability."

【The Wisdom of Mist】

However, in, the East's "Classical Wisdom," "Beauty," never, lives, in "Clarity." In Chinese "Landscape Painting's" "highest realm," there is a "Wisdom," named "Liú Bái (Leave-Blank)." That, large patch, not yet, landed a single "brushstroke," "Emptiness," is not "Nothingness," but rather, is, that, which truly, can, let "Clouds and Mist," "flow" within, let "Qi (Breath/Energy)," "circulate" within, let "the Viewer's" "Spirit," "roam" within, "the Cosmos Itself." In Japanese "Classical Aesthetics'" "Core," there is a "Beauty," named "Yūgen." It, is not, a, can be, "pointed-at" "Specific-Thing," but a "suggestive" "Atmosphere." It is, within "thin mist," distantly viewing "mountain-ranges," that, because "cannot-see-clearly," thus, arises, a, deeper "Awe" and "Yearning."

"Liú Bái" and "Yūgen," their, shared "Secret," lies precisely in: They, both, refuse, to, "Spill-everything-onto-the-plate." They, by, deliberately, "Obscuring" a part "of Reality," thereby, for "Imagination" and "Sensory-Ability," opened, a, toward "the Infinite," "Great Gate."

【The Beauty of Aura-Light】

This, is "Aura Light," and "Illumination Light," the most fundamental "Divide." "Illumination Light," is "Science's" light. Its "Mission," is "dispelling darkness," is "making everything visible," is "Analyzing" and "Defining." It, gives you "Answers." And "Aura Light," is "Art's" light. Its "Mission," is not "expelling" darkness, but, with "Darkness," gently "co-dance," and, take it, together, transform "it" into "Dreamscape's" "a part." It, does not, give you "Answers." It, gives you, a "Sanctuary." A, that can, let you, from, that, by "Clarity" "ruled" "External World," temporarily "retreat" "into," "Inner Space." A, you, need not "Think," only "Feel," "Barrier (Kekkai/Boundary)." The most profound "Beauty," dwells precisely, in, this patch, by "Aura Light," "guarded," "Haziness."

【Wearing the Atmosphere】

But, we, again, how, should (we), in, this, by "Illumination Light," "ruled" "Daily World," for, ourselves, guard, this one-measure "Inner Sanctuary"? This, is 【Nanhua Butterfly Dream】 (South-China Butterfly Dream), this artifact, its, deepest "Compassion." It, is not merely, an, for "decoration" "Ornament." It, is a "Wearable 'Aura Light'." A "Personalized 'Moving Sanctuary'."

When you, take it, place "upon the Self," it, then, is, for you, conducting, a, silent "Declaration." It, is, in your place, toward, this "World," expressing: "I, respect, your, pursuit 'of Clarity.' But, I, equally, choose, to guard, my, heart's, that, one patch, cannot be 'Quantified,' cannot be 'Defined,' only can be 'Felt,' 'Hazy Garden'." It, is your, tool used, to, resist "Clarity's Tyranny," most gentle, and, most resolute "Talisman."

【Conclusion: Returning to Mystery】

Ultimately, embracing "the Hazy," is not, a, toward "Reality," "Escape." Exactly, the opposite. It, is, a, toward "Reality," more courageous, and, more honest "Deepening." Because it, dares, to, admit, in this "Cosmos," forever, exists, a part, that, our "Rationality," has "no way to arrive" at; our "Language," has "no way to describe"; our "Data," has "no way to capture." And, that part, perhaps, is precisely "Life's" "within," most worthy "of us," to "Revere," and "Experience." Enter, "the Mist." Not, in order "to be lost." But, in order, with, that, Vaster, more Mysterious, and, more True "Self," re-"Encounter."
