Li Yinhe talks about sex

Chapter 14
As the saying goes, for the same thing, the benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom. One more sentence should be added: the prostitute sees prostitution.

From the time when Liu Haisu opened a human body sketching course at the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts in 1914, to the recent Tang Jiali nude photo album, nude models in art have been happening in China for nearly 90 years—nearly a century, and I haven’t figured it out yet. thing!The most interesting thing is that because of this matter, Chairman Mao and his elders gave two instructions (1965 and 1967); a group of students from the art department of the university were arrested for lending sketches to others (1983); The model returned home to visit relatives and was driven crazy by the villagers (1986); the pure and beautiful female model living in the 21st century shed tears every day (Tang Jiali said in response to a reporter's question on how to deal with the current pressure: Cry! After crying, calm down for a while, calm down cry later).

I really want to say to Tang Jiali: Don't cry.They are the ones who should cry, those ignorant villagers who drive models crazy, those police officers who arrest innocent college students, those vulgar netizens who scold you online, and those "feudal" remnants of "the prostitute sees prostitution"!
Is the human body such a scary thing?Is it something so ugly, dirty, obscene?Why can't the human body be beautiful?As the saying goes, for the same thing, the benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom. One more sentence should be added: the prostitute sees prostitution.From a beautiful body art photo taken by a professional photographer, ordinary people see beauty, but people with dark psychology can't see beauty, only obscenity.They are shy because of it, ambiguous because of it, and angry because of it.This does not mean that the work itself is not elegant, but only that the viewer is not elegant, or even psychologically dark, vulgar, distorted, and perverted.

The Chinese people have always believed that eating and drinking men and women can keep people's great desires alive.Chinese people who have solved their dietary problems and satisfied their sexual desires will be happy people. Chinese people who have satisfied the simple sensory pleasures of eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body will further pursue spiritual pleasure and enjoy a happy and high-quality life.The Chinese people will abandon the image of being sick and suffering for more than a hundred years, and present to the world a healthy and happy image.Although the Tang Jiali incident made me a little pessimistic about this, I still have optimistic expectations for the happy life of the Chinese people in general.I believe that most Chinese people have similar views on this matter as mine, and this is the basis for my optimism.
