Nature teaches us to understand beauty. “What nature teaches man” composition Nature teaches us to understand the beautiful

Everything is true and simple. Everything that is contrary to nature must be rejected.
The unity of man and nature... Are we always aware of how closely connected with nature, how dependent on it? And sunlight, and air moisture, and atmospheric electricity, and magnetic storms - all this taken together (and each separately) affects the state of the human body and psyche. Nature is harmonious. Everything in it is interconnected, intertwined, subject to uniform laws. We constantly experience the influence of the rhythms of day and night, the seasons, and this cyclical life brings us the joy of changing sensations, moods: as a long-awaited guest, we meet every time spring with its awakening of fields and forests, summer riot of herbs, fruitful autumn, invigorating winter .
Human society is connected with the environment in many forms and types of connections, without which it cannot exist.

Why do people study nature at a later time? All with the same goal: they are looking for ways to make their lives more comfortable and safer. Watching the wind, they came up with sails and windmills. Watching the kettle boil on the flame of a campfire, as the steam pushes the lid off it, a man came up with a steam engine. Carefully studying the consequences of crown fires, some thinkers of antiquity learned how to smelt ore ... The list can be continued indefinitely!
As soon as agriculture appeared, no one asked why people study nature. Without detailed and maximum information about it, farmers would not be able to receive those volumes of milk that were thousands of times higher than the similar results of their ancestors. Do you think that the wheat grown in modern fields has much in common with those cereals that were eared in the fields hundreds of years ago? If! From the spikelet of modern cereals, we get ten times more grain and flour than scientists could have imagined in their wildest dreams some 30-40 years ago! But why do people study nature today?

Someone might think that there is no direct need for this: everyone has already learned and managed, you can continue to develop science and technology without looking back at it ... Fortunately, this is not so. Even helicopters, submarines, lenses and plumbing that we use every day were created after long observations of nature. Almost all the outstanding discoveries of our time are made by those scientists who do not spare their time and effort to study natural phenomena and processes. Moreover, today everyone should observe the surrounding world: all people should know what a fragile and complex mechanism it is. If you explain why people study nature to your friend, you will help preserve its wealth for future generations.

Nature: trees, flowers, river, mountains, birds. This is everything that surrounds a person every day. Familiar and even boring ... What is there to admire? What to admire? This is how a person thinks, who from childhood was not taught to notice the beauty of a dew drop on rose petals, to admire the beauty of a newly blossomed white birch, to listen to the conversation of waves running ashore on a quiet evening. And who should teach? Probably a father or mother, grandmother or grandfather, the one who himself has always "been captured by this beauty."

Nature teaches us to understand beauty

Somehow, the lines of N.V. Gogol caught my eye: “The entire surface of the earth seemed to be a green-gold ocean, over which millions of different colors splashed ...”. Isn't it true, the writer painted an amazingly magical picture. It makes me want to see this beauty with my own eyes. Nature never makes noise. She teaches man greatness in silence. The sun is silent. The starry sky unfolds silently before us. The sea is capable of "deep silence". The greatest thing in nature, which determines and decides as such our destiny, occurs silently ... And man makes noise. He makes noise early and late, intentionally and unintentionally, working and having fun. and empty, self-confident and superficial, merciless and deceitful. You can get used to the noise, but you can never enjoy it. He does not conceal anything spiritual in himself; he is free from any "third" spiritual dimension. He "speaks" without having anything to say. Therefore, every bad art, every stupid speech, every empty book is noise. © I. Ilyin

Nature in human life plays both material and spiritual significance. Material, since nature itself gives us food, shelter, clothing. And, it would seem, this idea is very simple, therefore, adhering to this view, a person should be grateful to nature. If there is no such feeling, then at least you need to understand a simple thing: without plowing, without fertilizing the field, there is no point in hoping that next year you will have bread on the table. The spiritual significance of nature in human life, in my opinion, began to be lost a long time ago, when a person began to pay more attention to himself, his inner world, and not his relationship with the outside world. Once upon a time, pagans did not separate themselves from nature, they lived in it and with her. And the nature of behavior, and even clothes were in harmony with nature. Now, the more challenges we make, for example, in clothes, the more we adhere to a certain fashion, and not a harmonious combination of comfortable and aesthetic, the more we separate ourselves from nature. Nature does not become our mother, what it was for our ancestors. And we, like those Ivans who do not remember kinship, behave obscenely and hatefully. Nature's patience is not unlimited. She will protest and send us terrible warnings, for example, the Chernobyl tragedy is one of such warnings.

And yet, I believe in the spiritual rebirth of a person, because he comes into this world as a sinless baby. It is only necessary to remind people more often that they are the children of nature, its small particle.

Nature: trees, flowers, river, mountains, birds. This is everything that surrounds a person every day. Familiar and even boring. What is there to admire? What to admire? This is how a person thinks, who from childhood was not taught to notice the beauty of a dew drop on rose petals, to admire the beauty of a newly blossomed white birch, to listen to the conversation of waves running ashore on a quiet evening. And who should teach? Probably, father or mother, grandmother or grandfather, the one who himself has always “been a prisoner of this beauty”.

The writer V. Krupin has a wonderful

A story with an intriguing title "Drop the sack". It is about how the father taught the daughter, “blind” to the beauty of nature, to notice the beautiful. One day after the rain, when they were loading the barge with potatoes, the father suddenly said: “Varya, look how beautiful it is.” And the daughter has a heavy bag on her shoulders: how do you look? The father's phrase in the title of the story seems to me a kind of metaphor. After Varya throws off the “bag of blindness”, a beautiful picture of the sky after the rain will open before her. A huge rainbow, and above it, as if under an arc, the sun! The father also found figurative words describing this picture, comparing the sun with a horse harnessed to a rainbow! At that moment, the girl, having known beauty, “as if she had washed herself”, it “became easier for her to breathe”. Since then.

Varya began to notice the beauty in nature and taught her children and grandchildren, as she had once adopted this skill from her father.

And the hero of V. Shukshin's story "The Old Man, the Sun and the Girl", an old village grandfather, teaches a young city artist to notice the beautiful in nature. It is thanks to the old man that she notices that the sun that evening was unusually large, and the river water in its setting rays looked like blood. Gorgeous and mountains! In the rays of the setting sun, they seemed to move closer to people. The old man and the girl also admire how between the river and the mountains “the dusk was quietly fading away”, and a soft shadow was approaching from the mountains. What will be the astonishment of the artist when she finds out that the beautiful was opened before her by a blind man! How much one must love one's native land, how often one must come to this bank to see all this, already blind! And not just to see, but to reveal this beauty to people.

We can conclude that we are taught to notice the beauty in nature by people endowed with a special flair and a special love for their native land. They themselves will notice and tell us that one has only to look at any plant, even the simplest stone, and you will understand how majestic and wise the world around us is, how unique, diverse and beautiful it is.

Nature teaches us to understand beauty.

(K.G. Paustovsky)

Once in my childhood, while walking in the forest, I stumbled upon an icy bush. I was so struck by the bizarre outlines of the frozen cascade that, carefully sitting under it, I froze there for a long time, afraid to destroy this beauty with a careless movement. But in my soul there is a ball: now I’m a princess (who didn’t imagine herself as a child), then the Snow Queen, then Cinderella, then the Mistress of the Copper Mountain ... The next time I went there, naturally, I no longer found my fabulous palaces. Of course, it cannot be said that from that moment I learned to see and understand beauty, I even had no idea about it. But those magical moments are still remembered. Much has been forgotten, but I remember how every spring I came in search of my fairy tale.

Recently, an old film based on the work of P.P. Bazhov “Stone Flower” was shown on TV, and I again plunged into the world of childhood, as many years ago I admired the beauty of the Mistress of the Copper Mountain and her wealth, not at all embarrassed by fake stones. Well, as soon as the wonderful image of Danilka Nedokormysh, described with such love by Bazhov, falls on the soul: “That's how it came to Danilka Nedokormysh. This boy was an orphan round. Years, go, then twelve, or even more. He is tall on his feet, and thin, thin, in which the soul rests. Well, with a clean face. Curly hair, dove eyes. First they took him to the Cossacks at the master's house: a snuffbox, a handkerchief, run where and so on. Only this orphan had no talent for such a thing. Other boys in such and such places curl like vines. A little something - on the hood: what do you order? And this Danilko will hide somewhere in the corner, stare with his eyes at some picture, or at the decoration, and he’s worth it. They shout at him, but he does not lead with his ear. They beat, of course, at first, and then waved their hand:

Blessed one! Slug! Such a good servant will not come out.” And you and I perfectly understand the irony of the writer, who seems to lament that the boy does not have the "talent" to serve. Danilka can not be attached anywhere, he is not suitable for anything, according to the stupid "educators". The old shepherd, pitying the orphan, and he cursed:

“- What will come out of you, Danilko? You will destroy yourself, and you will bring my old back under the fight. Where does it fit? What do you even think about?

I myself, grandfather, do not know. So. about nothing. Looked a little. The bug crawled along the leaf. She herself is a little blue, and from under her wings she looks yellowish, and the leaf is wide. Along the edges, the teeth, like a frill, are curved. Here it shows darker, and the middle is green-pregreen, they just painted it right now ... And the insect is crawling ...

Well, aren't you a fool, Danilko? Is it your business to disassemble insects? She crawls - and crawl, and your job is to look after the cows. Look at me, throw this nonsense out of your head, otherwise I’ll tell the clerk!

And it was unknown to the old shepherd that "this orphan has a talent" and the talent of an artist, an inquisitive mind and an indefatigable desire for knowledge. Nature was not stingy, generously endowing the Underfeeder. Many can admire beauty, but few can feel it, pass it through their hearts, be filled with it, and become spiritually enriched. And Danilko sees beauty both in the natural world (a conversation with a shepherd) and in human creations (his “strange” behavior in a manor house, where he stared at works of art). Already in childhood, natural phenomena were the standard of beauty for him: in his music, “either the forest is noisy, or the stream is murmuring, birds are calling to all sorts of voices.” And having become a recognized master, Danila strives for perfection, does not sleep at night, suffers. In his creative quest, he outgrew his teacher. Old Prokopyich is only a skilled stone cutter, and Danila the master is experiencing the artist’s agonizing anxiety:

That and grief that there is nothing to reproach. Smooth and even, the pattern is clean, the carving is according to the drawing, but where is the beauty? Won flower. the most inferior, and looking at him - the heart rejoices.

He wants to convey the beauty of a living flower in stone. Argue in creativity with wildlife. This obsession is seen by the Mistress of the Copper Mountain. After all, she opens her wealth only to people endowed with talent and diligence, disinterestedness and wealth of soul. She is not hostile to the human world (as the legends said), but at the same time alien to it. The beauty that the Mistress can show Danila is perfect, but cold (I recall Pushkin's "indifferent nature"). The mistress is the embodied soul of the natural kingdom, and this soul is free from warm human passions and feelings. The mountain masters become the same: they come closer to understanding the essence of nature, but lose their human essence. A person, expressing beauty, can spiritualize it with his hot human soul, and beauty in his creations is always different than in nature. Danila's flower should have turned out differently from underground flowers if it had absorbed the love for Prokopyich and Katya, and neither the Mistress nor her piedmont masters would ever create such beauty. Yes, apparently, Danila’s soul was a little cold to the world of people, he did not grow up to understand that a person is able not only to copy natural beauty, but to create something else, animated by his warm heart ...

We are growing, and with us our fairy tales, created by such masters of the word as P.P. Bazhov: rereading them, we learn lessons already for adults; along with magic, we now see real pictures of life that raise many questions in us. Now, when I come to the forest, I recall with a smile my naive attempts to return what will never happen again. After all, nature, as a true artist, does not copy the masterpieces it has created. And people, growing up, learn from her to understand not only beauty - the whole world.

I want to finish my reflections on the relationship between beauty, nature and man with the poems of A. A. Fet:

A whole world of beauty

From big to small

And you're looking in vain

Find its beginning.

What is a day or a century

Before what is infinite?

Although man is not eternal,

That which is eternal is human.

Between 1874 and 1883

These words of the remarkable Russian writer most accurately emphasize the importance of nature in our lives. It is in the family that a child can receive the first knowledge of how to learn to love and protect his native nature.

“Many of us admire nature, but not many take it to heart,” wrote M.M. Prishvin, “and even those who take it to heart do not often manage to get along with nature in such a way as to feel their own soul in it”

We are accustomed to the fact that every day we are surrounded by plants, animals, the sun shines, pouring its golden rays around us. It seems to us that it was, is and always will be. In the meadows there will always be a green carpet of grass, flowers will bloom, birds will sing. But this is not so. If we do not learn ourselves and do not teach our children to perceive themselves as part of the world of wildlife, then the future generation will not be able to admire and be proud of the beauty and wealth of our homeland.

From the first years of life, the beginning of an ecological culture is formed in children. Watching a mother who carefully takes care of flowers and pets, a child has a desire to come up and pet a cat or dog, water the flowers or admire their beauty.

Children grow up and learn a lot about the world around them. Namely, that every plant, animal, insect, bird has its own "home", in which they feel good and comfortable.

Pay attention to the beauty of nature at different times of the year, days and in any weather. Teach children to hear the birds singing, to breathe in the aromas of the meadow, to enjoy the coolness of the spring. Isn't that the greatest joy in a person's life? This is the greatest gift that Mother Nature gives us.

In winter, draw children's attention to the beauty of trees. Admire the Russian birch, which is covered with frost. Clearly explain to the children that in winter the trees sleep and only we can protect them from the cold. Invite them to do a good deed - cover the roots with snow so that the trees "do not freeze."

Watch with your children how it snows. Mark its properties (fluffy, white, cold, etc.)

Footprints are clearly visible on the freshly fallen snow. Invite your child to play the Pathfinder game. By the footprints in the snow, you can determine who passed here, who went where, whose they are (humans, cats, dogs, birds).

In spring, nature wakes up. Rejoice with the children at the appearance of the first grass, the first leaf. Invite your child to play the game "Find signs of spring." (The sun is shining brighter, the sky is blue-blue, the first flowers have appeared, etc.)

Pay attention to the arrival of migratory birds. Explain to the children that the birds are having a hard time after the long winter and we can help them by building birdhouses and don't forget to feed them.

The best vacation in summer is a trip to the forest. Admire the giant trees and dense grass thickets. Tell the children that in the forest you can see rare plants that are listed in the Red Book. This is lily of the valley, St. John's wort, Corydalis. Under no circumstances should they be torn off. Admire their beauty, inhale the aroma. Find medicinal plants with children, name them, explain the benefits.

Collecting mushrooms and berries, tell the children that they are needed not only by us, but also by the inhabitants of the forest. Animals not only feed on some mushrooms, but are also treated. Here, for example, fly agaric. A very beautiful, but poisonous mushroom for humans. And the moose will come and it will be useful to him for treatment. Explain to the children that mushrooms should be cut with a knife, and not torn along with the stalk. After a while, a new mushroom will grow in this place.

Do not look into the nests of birds - this is their home. The bird may become frightened and leave the nest. Little chicks will be left without maternal care and die.

Of course, everyone understands that it is impossible to destroy nests, anthills and dig holes.

Don't make noise in the forest. Do not take tape recorders with you to nature, you can listen to them at home. And it is not necessary to talk to each other for the whole forest: enjoy your communication with nature. And the forest, and animals, and birds, and even the tiniest flower will be grateful to you for your care and attention.

We and nature are one big family. Teach children to see the beauty of their native nature, cultivate a caring attitude towards it. If a child takes care of everything that surrounds him, your upbringing will not be in vain. They will be attentive not only to the world around them, but also to you - adults.
