Hello poster, I am very happy to answer your question:
The answer above makes some sense, but it is not completely accurate, because sometimes we cannot understand the meaning of a work at all. background and the meaning and purpose of its writing. So how do we interpret a poem?
The first is the perception of images, that is, the way of thinking that directly grasps the essence of things. It is to return to intuition and one's own observation, to appeal to the things themselves.
Then there is emotion. The "emotion" of poetry is not happiness and pain, but "things that make me happy and painful" (Goethe). If the language of a poem is implicit, the poetic meaning is obscure. The most important thing is to grasp the emotional tone.
Then there is misreading. Misreading of poetry does not mean wrong understanding. In Yan Yu's "Canglang Poetry Talk: Poetry Debate": There are shallow and deep understandings, limited understandings, thorough understandings, and only half-understood understandings.
The act of reading is to establish intersubjectivity between the reader and the author, and the reader restores the work through his or her own logical thinking. There can be deviations in the restoration process. This is what is called a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people.
