ociety nowadays, as it can bring unique benefits to human beings which science and

technology

are not able to achieve.

First

and foremost, arts especially paintings can cultivate people’s appreciation of beauty. The ability of aesthetics can help individuals with their collocation of colours, which can be utilized in our daily life.

For example

, we can distinguish that red-coloured clothes match better with black

instead

of green. And

also

, pink-coloured lipsticks look more pretty on light-coloured skin. All those simple things above are required our aesthetics which is hard to provide by science.

Furthermore

, there are enormous historical values in arts that cannot be found by

technology

.

For instance

, Chinese historians discovered plenty of recorded details about our ancient leaders, individuals and a major topic of significance in the Records of the Grand Historian, which wrote by Sima Qian in 94BC.

This

book is called foundational text in Chinese civilization, and the details including the emotional feelings and public awareness of citizens in Han Dynasty which cannot be discovered by any contemporary

technology

. According to the research of the ancient books, our ancestors became more lively in our mind, not just databases and figures in computers. In conclusion, in my opinion, the appreciation of beauty and the historical values are the two advantages of arts that

technology

cannot bring to us.
