The Other Side Of Desire—the Study Of "abstinence" From The Perspective Of Aesthetics

Desire is a perpetual topic accompanied by human survival,development and even death.It is accompanied by life,old agc,illness,death,and life-cycle,either consciously or unconsciously.Flowever,this desire,which originares from nature,has often become the synonym of sin and evil in the long history,and has been criticized by diferent "doctrines".The negative image of abstinence has long been preserved in the general concepr of human beings.Putting aside the extremes of denonization and excessive indulgence of desire,we can gradually re-examine the rationality,possibiliry and aesrhetics of abstinence from a historical perspective,combing and avoiding unilateral statements and re-examining desire.Compared with the form of desire,abstinence provides nore appearance for desire.Iler cunning beauty lies in her changeable form.Human perception and ignorance,shackles and self-determination of civilization,participation and influence of-others...Abstinence may be caused by many factors,bur different external or internal factors make it difficult tor her face to describe similar forms.Her diverse charm comes from her changeable forms.No matter how abstinence touches the heartstrings of human beings,she can nor get out of the cycle of desire.Abstinence and desire are logically opposed and interrelated in terms of the time of human life.However,when we really want ro separate the two,they are entangled and inseparable.As in a person’s past and present life,it is no longer important to draw a clear line.The greatest charm of asceticism is that it touches many problems in human nature,more like the natural formation of desire,people can not help bur cncounrcr the thinking and hesitation,and again stand at the crossroads of life.Such asceticism,rich in human bcaury,confrontational beauty and transcendental value,always attracts people,stimulates thinking and keeps exploring curiosity.It is abstinence,as a kind of backlash,return and respect to desire,that presents another aspect of desire.Desire and abstinence are opposite to each other.They develop a new aesthetic dimension for each other,and make the pennanent motif of desire be endowed with new and rerurned,so that desire is pushed forward as the opposite of suppressed desire.Therefore,the study of abstinence is usually inseparable from the word "desire".The discussion and study of "desire" is an important topic that accompanies and continues the development of human beings up to now.At the same time,"abstinence" is no longer rhe opposite of "desire",but another dimension to consider "desire",and also a new dimension of aesthetics.
