Theme: Aesthetics

Aesthetics was first put forward by Baumgarten, a German philosopher. "Aesthetics" is complex. It can be applied to all aspects of our life, such as music, mathematics, physics, biology, psychology and so on.

Have you ever noticed the mathematical aesthetics of the golden ratio in architecture, music around you?
Have you ever known the inherent aesthetics of design in artworks, clothing, and luxury ornaments?
Have you ever found the aesthetics of nature in the environment around you?
Have you ever had a profound experience to make you realize the beautiful nature and soul?
