1. Use scenes to express emotions.
Lyricizing emotions through scenery is a way of expressing emotions in poetry, that is, using descriptions of scenery to express emotions. The difference between it and foil is that foil is to make the character image more prominent and appealing through the description of the environment. It is a method of expressing characters; lyricism through borrowing objects is a way of expressing emotions, which means that the poet does not directly express himself when creating. To express feelings through the medium of scenery.
For example: Wang Wei's "Mountain Dwelling in Autumn Twilight" is a landscape poem that mainly describes scenery. The poem expresses the fresh, quiet and natural autumn evening with the help of visual and auditory aspects of movement and stillness. The scenery in the mountains thus expresses the poet's love for life in the mountains and his inner peace and tranquility. It is a typical lyrical poem using scenery.
Generally speaking, poems that use scenery to express emotion are mainly about describing scenery, which means that scenery is the object that the poet should focus on, and the poet's thoughts and feelings are often hidden in the description of the scenery; and if the poem is Mainly to express characters, whether the character is the author himself or the object of his creation, the scenery in the poem is often the poet's description of the environment to highlight the character.
2. To express feelings with scenes
To express feelings with scenes is a way of ending a poem. It means that during the discussion or lyrical process of the poem, it suddenly turns to describing the scene, ending with The sentiment of King Dai ends the whole poem. The use of this technique allows readers to imagine and appreciate the artistic conception of the poem, making the poem infinite in charm and producing the artistic effects of "the words are endless but the meaning is endless" and "the heartless is better than the sentimental at this time".
For example, the first three sentences of Wang Changling's "Walking in the Army" are all lyrical about the sound of music. When it comes to "bian sorrow", the word "can't hear it" is used. So how to conclude the sentence with a limited seven sentences? What word is used to express "endless" sorrow? At the end of the sentence, the poet gently adds a stroke to express his feelings with the scene. After the scene of drinking and having fun in the army, suddenly there appeared the vast scene of the Great Wall illuminated by a full moon: the ancient and majestic Great Wall was undulating, the autumn moon was shining high, the scene was magnificent and sad. How would you feel about this? Is it infinite nostalgia? Is it the ambition to make contributions to the frontier and the sorrow for reality? Give readers plenty of room for imagination.
3. Qixing
Qixing is also called "Xing". Zhu Xi said, "Those who are inspired should first mention other things to trigger the words to be chanted." Simply put, the function of "Xing" is to "lead", using other things to lead out the things to be expressed. Because it plays the role of "introduction", it is often at the beginning of the poem or each section (if it is a longer poem). The description of scenery in poetry also has the function of "excitement".
For example: The first sentence of Su Shi's poem "Dong Slope" "The rain washes the east slope and the moonlight is clear" describes a clean and quiet picture of the east slope under the moon after the rain. It is such a beautiful scenery Let the poet who calls himself a "savage" go out after "the people in the city are gone". In other words, the description of the scenery of "the rain washes the east slope and the moonlight is clear" leads to the description of the poet's behavior in the sentence "the people in the city are walking in the wild". In this way, the description of the scene in the first sentence has an exciting effect.
4. Use scenery to describe the season, location or weather conditions.
Poetry pays attention to implicit images, not only in expressing thoughts and feelings, but also when explaining the season, place and weather conditions, it is often expressed through descriptions of scenery instead of directly speaking. For example, the opening line of Liu Yong's "Rings in the Rain" "The cicadas are mournful, it's late in the pavilion, and the showers are beginning to stop." It not only describes the desolate and sentimental environment of farewell, but also explains the season (an evening in autumn), location (pavilion), and weather The role of the situation (the first break of the shower). Another example is the second sentence of Du Fu's poem "Prime Minister of Shu", "There are many trees outside Jinguan City". It is the answer to the first sentence "Where can I find the Prime Minister's ancestral hall?", so it first explains the location of Wuhou Temple, and at the same time it It also describes the solemnity of the ancestral hall environment, showing the poet's reverent and solemn attitude when visiting the ancestral hall. It is also like the concluding sentence of Li Bai's "Listening to Shu Monk Drunk Playing the Qin", "Unconsciously, the blue mountains are dusk, and the autumn clouds are so dark." The first is an explanation of the time and weather conditions. The poet uses "unconsciously" to guide these two sentences to explain the time. The poem about the weather conditions shows his intoxicated state when listening to the piano, and highlights the superb piano skills of the Shu monks from the side. The function of scene description is easy to understand and I won’t go into details here.
5. Transition
Before talking about the transitional role of scene description in poetry, we must first understand one thing: just like our feelings will change due to changes in the environment, in In the poem, the poet's emotions may also change due to the influence of the scene before him. In other words, the thoughts and feelings expressed by the poet in the poem may be simple, whether happy, sad, sad or happy, or they may change from happy to sad to sad to happy. If the poet's emotions change during a poem, then the scene in front of him may be the cause of his emotional changes. In this way, the description of scenery between the emotional changes of the poem may have a transitional role.
