This mode can be said to be the heirloom of poetry, also known as multi-layer: it gives people images on the visual level of text symbols, and at the same time gives people infinite generalization and tolerance of meaning (a certain entity or spiritual content) on the deep associative level. Symbols are superficial and clear, and may even be stipulated by traditional reason, such as Meilan pine and bamboo, Great Wall and so on. Symbolized ontology is hidden and fuzzy. The relationship between the two should be arbitrary to facilitate creativity. Genius poets connect seemingly unrelated internal and external images through similarity, forming an amazing idea. The key is to grasp the * * * similarity between the two, and the farther away from other attributes, the better.
The central method is to choose images and form symbolic images. Image, also known as artistic image, can be said to be a cell that constitutes a large system of literature and art. Meaning-human consciousness (including emotion. Fundamentally speaking, it is people's aesthetic needs and cognitive needs), which is finally manifested in the projection and performance of the author's individual life in literature and art. Image, an objective thing outside the author, is finally objectified by the essence of the author's life. The combination of the two forms an image, and their various components and secret relationship lead to two basic literary and artistic creation methods, namely romanticism and realism, which also become the origins of expressionism and reflection theory. Compared with general images, symbolic images have specific requirements: to become the central image of the whole poem. The best symbolic image, with infinite significance, expresses the author's inner world as much as possible and becomes the universe of artistic individuality.
Generally speaking, the titles of such poems are written with symbols (even characters). However, the inner noumenon, that is, the feeling of the author's individual life, is what poetry really wants to write.
all empty
Hold your breath for a moment,
How I want to hear about you!
But you're safe and quiet,
What do you have to say?
Stretching out trembling fingers,
How I want to touch you!
But you disappeared without a trace,
What kind of body do you have?
Open your eager eyes,
How I want to see you!
But you are transparent and colorless,
How beautiful are you?
But I know very well,
I can't live without you for a moment.
I have you in my life,
You breathe with me. ...
In this poem, air becomes the symbolic image of the structural center. Quiet, transparent, plain and invisible air contains the author's endless thoughts-pure and noble love and infinite pursuit of life, which really support the author's life, but it is so far away and out of reach. Most people are not!
