How to find beauty in our livesunderthe thought of wabi?

如何在我们的生活中发现美?

抹茶起源于中国，兴盛于日本。日本茶道是一种以茶为媒介的生活礼仪,也被认为是一种修身养性的方式。「千利休」主张茶道不应该依赖于昂贵或世俗的漂亮茶杯或茶壶。他喜爱带着岁月洗炼之美的旧竹制茶勺。因为在禅宗哲学中，万物皆不永恒、不完美和不圆满，物品被镌刻上岁月痕迹，千利休认为这些不经意的痕迹透露出独特的智慧并在使用者手中得到升华。

Matcha originated from China, flourished in Japan. The Japanese tea ceremony is a life etiquette with tea as a medium, and it is also considered a way of self-cultivation.

Sen Rikyu advocates that the tea ceremony should not rely on expensive or mundane pretty teacups or teapots. He loved old bamboo tea spoons with the beauty of age. Because in Zen philosophy, everything is not eternal, imperfect and incomplete. All objects will be engraved with traces of time. Sen Rikyu believes that these inadvertent traces reveal unique wisdom and are sublimated in the hands of the user.

侘び指的是外表的残缺。侘び茶是千利休所创造。侘び茶是把精神与茶追求的美融合在了一起。侘”字会意于“人在宅中”，陋室与俗世相区隔，带来了孤寂而又自在的美感。侘び在美学上更多是一种主观的接受美学,人们需要主动去感知感受，欣赏物品的存在之美。

Wabi refers to the imperfection of appearance. Wabi tea was created by Sen Rikyu, which combines the aesthetics of spirits with the beauty pursued by tea.The character "Wabi" means “a person in the room", and the shabby room is separated from the secular world, bringing a sense of loneliness and tranquility.Generally, wabi is more of a subjective reception aesthetic.

ChauKeen老师让学生与老师们了解、欣赏、感知什么是生活中的美, 探索生活的过程其实就是探索艺术的奥秘, 艺术来源于生活，学会欣赏艺术，能帮助我们发现生活中的美。

ChauKeen let the audience to understand, appreciate and perceive what is beauty in life. The process of exploring life is actually to explore the mysteries of art. Art comes from life. Learning to appreciate art can help us find beauty in life.

AIC通过长期开展齐物达观知识讲坛的活动，让学生增长见识、思考问题，培养学生的思辨能力和批判性思维, 期待学生们在一次次的学习中不断进步、通达明理，激励学生掀起学术新风, 将“终身学习”的观念贯彻落实。
