First, the harmonious beauty of the relationship between man and land
Geography takes the relationship between man and land as its own research object, revealing that man is a part of nature and an inseparable whole. They are equal, live and exist, and the relationship between man and nature is harmonious. Emphasize the harmonious development of the relationship between man and land. Through the study of the relationship between man and land in geography, we can understand the correct relationship between man and nature, understand the concept of respecting nature, and then appreciate a harmonious beauty.
Second, the diverse beauty of geographical things and phenomena.
Geography takes the regional environment as the research object, with a vast space, from the sky to the ground, blue sky, white clouds, sea, forest, grassland, sun, moon, stars, flowers, birds, fish, insects, deserts, glaciers, cities, villages ... between mountains and rivers, yin and yang are combined, and the combination of rigidity and flexibility is combined. The mystery and mystery of the universe, the diversity and harmony of everything. Facing the gorgeous world scene, we are all shocked by the harmony and beauty of nature! "Wise people like water, benevolent people like water", "Spirituality reveals everything, and character is noble", living in poverty and enjoying the harmony and beauty of the world.
Third, geographical ethics is moral and beautiful.
The ancients had the concept of "harmony between man and nature", which contained the reasonable connotation of civilized relationship between man and land, while Confucianism advocated "harmony between rites and music" and "beauty and goodness", regarded "benevolence" as the core of aesthetic ideal, and emphasized the harmony between people in human society, which contained more ethical elements and strong feudal political color, so it lacked extensive attention to the environment and life. Taoism advocates "swimming in the way of nature", "returning to simplicity" and "quietism", trying to establish chaotic harmony between man and nature. Because of its negative behavior, it was finally excluded from the mainstream society.
Geography requires us to deal with a series of relations between man and nature while dealing with social relations, and to have ethics on nature, especially the relationship between good people and other lives. Therefore, on a certain level, it also contains rich environmental ethics and life rationality. It emphasizes the establishment of an equal and just order between people and between people and other lives, so it has certain ethical and moral beauty. It is predicted that ecological culture will become the mainstream culture in the future society, and a massive environmental protection movement is emerging all over the world.
Fourth, the beauty of geographical wisdom.
Geographical wisdom mainly refers to the wisdom of getting along with nature and the wisdom of human survival. To learn geography, it is important to equip people with a "geographical mind", to teach people to look at the world with geographical ideas and methods, to choose and arrange life and production more scientifically, and to guide human rational production and consumption. With regard to the consumption of material resources, we call on mankind to change the old way of thinking, production and lifestyle, and abandon the extensive production mode with high consumption, high growth and high pollution and the lifestyle with high consumption and high waste.
Geographical wisdom requires people to improve the utilization rate of natural resources as much as possible and reduce the discharge of waste as much as possible in order to maintain the good state of the structure and function of man-land composite system. In terms of people's own production, it is advocated that population growth should be adapted to social and economic development and coordinated with ecological environment protection and natural resources development and utilization. The traditional development model is characterized by one-sided pursuit of economic growth, often at the expense of the environment, and economic development and environmental resources protection are opposite. The open and strategic study of geography on the compound system of man and land has established a correct view of population, environment and resources for us, thus establishing a holistic view and a systematic view of observing and handling contemporary things, and teaching human beings the wisdom of getting along with nature and surviving.
Fifth, the beauty of geographical humanistic spirit.
Geography "studies the earth as the human world" (J.O.M Crocker's geographical category) advocates giving more humanistic care to people and other lives. The core of humanistic quality is humanistic spirit, and the focus of humanistic spirit is emotion and values. Geography can endow us with higher humanistic spirit. In terms of values, geography can help us form a correct outlook on the world, life, population, race, environment and resources. Emotionally, geography education can enhance our national consciousness and cultivate lofty patriotism.
In the study of world geography, we use the methods of synthesis, analysis and comparison to explain the spatial effect, show the natural geographical structure and characteristics of different regions of the world, and show the cultures, civilizations, values and lifestyles of different nationalities related to it. Especially on the basis of this difference, different cultural landscapes are formed. When appreciating the colorful cultural landscape, it helps us to form tolerance, heterogeneity and diversity for others. Geography can strengthen our global consciousness, teach us to understand and grasp the world reality from a global perspective, and think and analyze our country, region, hometown and homeland in an international context, so as to learn to respect and understand, compete and cooperate, care and communicate. Understand and enhance exchanges with other countries, other nationalities and other cultures, so as to cultivate people who live in peace, the world family, different colors, different races and different language civilizations.
The focus of geography education is to realize the transformation from ability to responsibility. Emphasis on caring for others, caring for the collective, caring for the common problems faced by mankind and paying attention to the cultivation of social responsibility is not only for others, the nation and the country, but also for the world and mankind. Geography makes us a responsible person.
Sixth, the geographical law is beautiful.
Geographical laws can be divided into distribution laws of geographical things and evolution laws of geographical things. The regular beauty of geography is manifested in the beauty of order, rhythm and mathematics. Imagination is both analysis and synthesis (Baudelaire: Imagination). Analysis and synthesis are important thinking methods in geography. Association is the basis of perception and imagination (Zhu Guangqian: beauty and association). The understanding of geographical laws can not be separated from a high degree of imagination, in which we can appreciate the beauty of geographical laws. Facing the exquisite map, while admiring a work of art, open your wings of free imagination and have a very interesting conversation with it. Through time and space, a world full of color, sound, outline, fragrance and life is active in front of us.
When we understand the laws of motion of the nine planets in the solar system, we can think of a huge optical disc, which is in the same direction, with * * * planes, almost circular, as if playing a magnificent cosmic movement. When we understand the law of climate distribution in Africa, we will associate it with symmetry. When we understand the theory of city center, we can't help but think of honeycomb structure. When studying Du Nenghuan in agricultural location theory, people will think of ripples in water. When we understand the latitude distribution law of seawater salinity, we think of the peak like "M". A high degree of imagination is always accompanied by enthusiasm. "A cold, shallow and sharp person does not always have a strong imagination" (Yu Dafu: the role of imagination).
Learning geography needs enthusiasm, and rich imagination is generated in enthusiasm. In the process of continuous creation, association and explanation, in the analysis, comparison, induction and deduction of geographical things, we will certainly feel the infinite charm of the beauty of geographical laws. Through the understanding of the beauty of geographical laws, we can be endowed with more rationality, from which we can constantly learn, imitate and learn from nature, thus creating a beautiful environment and a beautiful life. As small as a bonsai, a rockery and a city with mountains and rivers, as large as building a spacious, rich, clean and safe earth, it reflects human learning and imitation of nature.
At present, China is building a well-off society in an all-round way. The development of courtyard economy, the management of small watersheds, the establishment of agricultural ecological model and the construction of small towns and industrial communities all need scientific decision-making. Geography will provide a wide range of humanistic consultation, humanistic design and humanistic demonstration in various decision-making. Create a harmonious and beautiful world with beautiful geographical laws.
Seven, the beauty of the spherical structure of geographical science knowledge system
Mr. Chu Dajian combed the complex scientific knowledge system and found the spherical structure of the scientific knowledge system. It is believed that the internal structure of the earth consists of crust, mantle and core from the outside to the inside, and likewise, scientific knowledge consists of knowledge core, knowledge mantle and knowledge shell from the inside to the outside. The knowledge shell consists of factual knowledge, focusing on "what is". The veil of knowledge consists of legal knowledge, focusing on how, and the core of knowledge consists of principle knowledge, focusing on why. The same is true of the knowledge system of geographical science. When we discuss the knowledge system of geographical science, we will feel the beauty of its spherical structure.
Schiller said: "The only way to turn an emotional person into a rational person is to turn a person into an aesthetic person first." The aesthetics of geography can give us more enthusiasm for learning geography, and more importantly, it can cultivate our sentiment and create a harmonious and beautiful world with geographical beauty.
