现代文化馈赠给我们的第三个美学礼物是创造。1994年11月1日,有人在拍卖会上用3080万美元的天价买下区区72页笔记手稿,这震惊了世界。买下手稿的人,是比尔·盖茨,而这几十页笔记手稿的作者是达·芬奇。有人问盖茨为什么花这么高的价钱买这几十页笔记,他说了两句话:第一句是:“达·芬奇融汇科学与艺术的聪明才智,我一向深为敬仰。”第二句是:“21世纪是达·芬奇的世纪。” The third aesthetic gift that is given to us by modern culture is creation. On November 1, 1994, someone bought the 72-page manuscript at the auction for 30.8 million U.S. dollars, which shocked the world. The man who bought the manuscript is Bill Gates, and the author of the dozens of pages of the note manuscript is Leonardo da Vinci. Someone asked Gates why he bought these tens of pages at such a high price. He said two sentences: The first sentence is: “Leonardo da Vinci’s ingenuity in integrating science and art has always admired me. The second sentence is: ”The 21st century is Leonardo da Vinci’s century."
