What is Lenovo? Association means seeing A and thinking of B. There are usually two reasons why A evokes B's associations: either A and B are similar in nature, for example, when seeing spring scenery, they think of young people, and when seeing chrysanthemums, they think of high-minded people; or A and B have thought of each other in experience. Being close, for example, seeing a fan reminds me of fireflies, walking to Red Cliff reminds me of Cao Mengde or Su Dongpo. The advantages of similar association and close association are mixed together. The two sentences "Remember the green rose skirt and pity the grass everywhere" are a good example. Why does such a master "remember the green skirt"? Because the skirt is similar to its lover (the color of the skirt is similar to ( ). ); why does he "pity the grass everywhere"? Because when the grass and consciousness are active, they are connected, and we are making associations almost all the time. Hearing a voice and knowing who is speaking, seeing a word and knowing its meaning are all based on association. Association is the interpretation of new experience with old experience. Without it, perception, memory and imagination cannot occur because they all have to be based on past experience. From this we can see that association has a wide range of functions. Association can sometimes be controlled by the will. When composing a composition or recalling a past experience that cannot be remembered for a while, the association can be forced to go down the road. But in most situations, association is free, unintentional, and erratic. I wanted to concentrate on listening to classes and reading room, but all kinds of thoughts about playing ball, walking, and eating always came into my mind involuntarily. When I had insomnia, I was more afraid of random thoughts, and I couldn't help but think about random thoughts. This kind of free association is like when water is wet, the fire becomes dry. If there is little hooking, you will be worried about it. Before it reaches the ninth heaven, it is like a yellow spring. From this we can see the loose and erratic nature of Lenovo. This is what Lenovo does. When most people find something beautiful, it is because it evokes sweet associations. In terms of music, Lenovo is even stronger. When most people listen to music, they get nothing except the many beautiful images they associate with it. They like this tune because it reminds them of the breeze and the bright moon; they don't like the tune because it awakens their past sad memories. Why did Zhong Ziqi deserve the reputation of a close friend? Because when he heard Boya playing the piano, he exclaimed: "How wonderful! The mountains are like Mount Tai, and the ocean is like rivers." What did Li Qi hear in the sound of Hujia? What he heard was "The empty mountains are full of birds scattered and reunited, and the clouds thousands of miles away are cloudy and clear." What did Bai Letian hear in the sound of the pipa? What he heard was "the silver bottle was broken, water slurry burst out, and the cavalry protruded with swords and guns." How did Su Dongpo describe the sound of the cave flute? What he said: They all hummed in unison, wishing like admiration, crying like complaining, and the lingering sound lingered like a wisp. The dragon dancing in the secluded ravine, the woman weeping in the lonely boat. "These countless examples can prove that most people appreciate music because they appreciate the associations it evokes. Broadly speaking, association is the basis of perception and imagination. Artistic creation cannot be separated from intuition and imagination, so it cannot be separated from association. But what we usually call association refers to endless thoughts that go from A to B, from B to C. In this ordinary sense, association hinders the sense of beauty. The sense of beauty comes from intuition, without thinking, but association is inevitable. With thinking. In aesthetic experience, we concentrate on an isolated and insulated image, and association is the most likely to distract us and make our attention unfocused, causing our mind to drift away from the aesthetic image to many unaesthetic things. When I look at the grass, I appreciate its taste wholeheartedly when I see the grass; when I think about it, when I see the grass, I think of the skirt, and then I think of the beauty wearing the skirt. When I think of the beauty wearing the skirt, my mind is full of it. Fragrant grass exists again. The association is mostly accidental. For example, if the content of a painting is "Autumn Moon over the West Lake", if the viewer does not concentrate on the painting itself and makes random associations, then A can associate it with Lei Feng Tower, and B can associate it with it. It can be associated with the beauties who traveled to the West Lake in the past. Although these associations can sometimes improve the viewer's favorable impression of the painting, the beauty of the painting itself does not necessarily increase, and the beauty caused by the painting decreases because of the distraction.
