Talking about Beauty is one of the important works of Mr. Zhu Guangqian in establishing his early aesthetic theory system. Starting from the goal of "talking about beauty", "avoiding vulgarity" and "purifying people's hearts", the book unfolds layer by layer along the clues of where beauty comes from, what beauty is and what its characteristics are, expressing the aesthetician's personality ideal and aesthetic ideal, and putting forward the ideal goal of his aesthetic research, namely "the artistry of life".

Talking about beauty permeates Mr. Zhu Guangqian's profound understanding of the relationship between art and life. The author said flatly in a tone of talking with an old friend. The magnificent thoughts flowed slowly in fresh and simple words, like "popular on water, naturally forming a line". At the end of the book, he shouted "Walk slowly and enjoy slowly!" It is even more inspiring. No wonder this book has always been regarded as "a classic of science and fashion."
