Discussing "Poetry Eyes", "Word Eyes" and Allusions

1. Poetic eye is the poet’s appreciation and observation ability.

Song Dynasty Su Shi's "Ciyun Wu Chuanzheng's "Withered Wood Song""": "Although you are not a painter, your poetic eye is also sharpened by your own craftsmanship." Jin Yuanhaowen's "Ji Yuxuan and Dang Chengzhi Snow Poems" Fourth: "Yu Xuan has a poetic eye, and his essays are natural." Yuan Hongdao of the Ming Dynasty "Xiu Shu Shu": "Recently, poetry has made great progress, poetry collections are large, poetry has a broad heart, and poetry has a broad eye."

2. The eye of poetry refers to the finishing touch and expressive touch in a work. It comes in two forms. One is the most concise and expressive word in a poem, using one word as the work. One is the most exciting and key poetic sentence in the whole poem, which is the main theme of a poem. Because of this word or sentence, the image is vivid, the expression is flying, meaningful, thought-provoking, and full of artistic charm, which is called the eye of a poem.

To obtain poetic vision, you need to refine words and sentences. It is necessary to make the refined words and phrases best express specific life situations and express the poet's thoughts and emotions about these things most fully and truly. . Moreover, such words and phrases should be in key parts of the poem and have the function of unifying the entire poem.

Therefore, the tempering of poetic eye must be based on the whole text, and one cannot work on words in isolation.

Yongdian means using things, which is a rhetorical device. Quote stories or phrases from ancient books as allusions. Can express relevant content and thoughts richly and implicitly.

Liu Xie explained "Yongdian" in "Wen Xin Diao Long", saying that it is "based on events to make meanings, and to refer to the past to prove the present." That is to say, it is used to compare the past with the present, to prove the present with the past, and to express feelings through the past. The use of allusions must not only follow the meaning, but also be able to seek new ideas from the past, and more importantly, it must be able to make it look like one's own without leaving any trace. As the saying goes, "There is salt in the water, and you will know the taste of salt when you drink the water" before it can be a good work.

If there are things in the poem that are difficult to state directly, we can use the hints of allusions to express the author's feelings tactfully, which is the so-called "according to events to draw meanings."

The composition of verses should be economical. Especially modern poetry has a certain limit on the number of words. Using allusions can reduce the complexity of words.

Using allusions can make the words beautiful, the tone harmonious, the contrast neat, the structure rigorous, and it can increase the beauty of appearance and rich connotation.
