No matter whether this kind of mood is the carefree feeling of "laughing at the sky and going out, our generation is all Artemisia people" or the helpless feeling of "getting rich in the morning and getting fat in the evening", even the workplace is touting that "the clouds want clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows the threshold to reveal wealth" poetry is a carrier of a specific emotion, which is the meaning of poetry "artistic conception", that is, the ultimate artistic goal of poetry works.
Poetry's words, their position order and pronunciation all constitute the form of poetry. Together, they determine the ability of poetry as an emotional carrier to carry the poet's emotions, which is the artistic level of poetry works.
In order to illustrate the influence of words used in poetry on the poet's emotional ability. Let's read a weak version of Night Sleeping Near Fengqiao, which is particularly familiar and correct, but not so good at carrying emotions.
A night berth near Fengqiao.
When the moon is full and birds are singing in first frost, Jiang Feng never sleeps.
In the lonely Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou, the bell that rang in the middle of the night reached the passenger ship.
Only three words have been changed, and the level of yin has remained basically unchanged. The first sentence only changed a word, or only added a dot. From "Frost Night" to "Moonlight and Birds Singing and Frosting". Readers, when you taste your fine products, is the feeling of sadness, helplessness and sadness completely gone at once?
One word, just one word, has this power.
But if it is reasonable, should we use "Wu" or "bird" here?
In fact, it may be more correct to use "bird" because crows generally don't crow at night. Zhang Ji, who failed in the college entrance examination, may have heard other birds chirping here, or it may sound like a crow. After all, Zhang Ji is not an ornithologist. He can distinguish birds by listening.
As the saying goes, "magpies give good news, crows call it fierce." What is Zhang Ji's state at this time? I just checked the results of the college entrance examination, thinking about Tsinghua Peking University, but the score says Lan Xiang welcomes you. It's like a girl receiving a love letter, hoping that it was written by Jackson Yee, but when she opened it, it was Song Xiaobao, which was an emotion. In this state, he is likely to listen to any bird like a crow.
Because crows are unlucky, this is a subconscious thing in traditional China. This subconscious is a universal emotion. Therefore, Zhang Ji probably heard the chirping of several birds at this time, no matter what it is, it is a "crow" at the moment.
If the situation changes, he will check the college entrance examination results, alas! Tsinghua! Steady! I will ride a big horse, wear red flowers, ring bells and set off firecrackers when I go home. Even if the crow is really barking, it is estimated that he can't hear it. He wants to write: "The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, and the branches are full of magpies."
In short, in terms of accuracy, the word "bird" is more accurate, but it loses the meaning of poetry. This difference is far from perfect.
You see, in this sentence, how powerful this power is!
The next sentence, "Jiang Feng sleeps when fishing", was also changed to "Jiang Feng sleeps when fishing".
What's the difference between this change? This change has destroyed the "realm" of poetic artistic conception!
"Jiang Feng Fishing Fire" is a heartless scene, and the word sentient beings must be used to create a realm of sentient beings! As Gu Teng Old Tree said, if you want to create a sentient world, you must use "faint crow" instead of "crow". The word "sleepless" is much less emotional than the word "sad sleep", so using sad sleep can make "Jiang Feng fishing for fire" also a sad situation.
Readers, please take a closer look and see if this is the case. A word is also very powerful, right?
Then this sentence was changed to a word "Jiang Feng fishing and sleeping", and the word "right" was changed to "positive". What does this word mean?
This word "right" actually associates Jiang Feng's fishing with worrying about sleep. "Jiang Feng Fishing Fire" and "Sorrow Sleeping" are not picturesque scenery in themselves, or the natural scenery at first sight, which will make you feel awkward together. With the word "right", it can be connected in series and become a poetic picture of a sorrowful guest sleeping and seeing a sad scene.
If you use the word "Zheng", "Jiang Feng Fishing for Fire" and ""seem to be talking about two things that are not so closely related, and they feel very broken to read. Readers, please read it twice to see if you feel this way.
The above are all examples of the power of words in poetry, so let's talk about it so much.
Zhang Ji should have written many poems in his life, and more than 50 poems have been handed down. However, only one poem is widely known. Presumably, readers have never read Zhang Ji's second poem. Why?
It is precisely because of the extreme wording of this song "a night-mooring near maple bridge" that it has a good meaning.
I guess Zhang Ji didn't deliberately extract such words. I thought Zhang Ji didn't have such a level of word refining. After all, he is not Du Fu. It is natural for him to use such words when his feelings are strong. However, for a poet, a masterpiece of this quality is enough.
I have read a lot of poems and learned a lot these days. On a whim, this article will talk about the words used in poetry. I also put four poems here: body, shape, context and meaning for readers to read: poetry aesthetics-on the body and artistic conception of poetry (1)
Poetry Aesthetics —— On the Form and Artistic Conception of Poetry (2)
Poetic Aesthetics —— On the Form and Artistic Conception of Poetry (Ⅲ)
Aesthetics of Poetry —— On the Form and Artistic Conception of Poetry (Ⅳ)
Read this wonderful a night-mooring near maple bridge for the last time:
A night berth near Fengqiao.
Crows fell on the moon, crowed coldly, slept on maple trees, and slept in fishing lanes by the river.
In the lonely Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou, the bell that rang in the middle of the night reached the passenger ship.
At the end of the article, I wrote a poem of my own, which was a story of sighing during dinner in Shanghai. I wrote one for you:
The old lady in Shanghai died and the eldest daughter could not return overseas because of the epidemic.
Drunk horse pool demon
When I was young, I married on the other side of the ocean, and since then, my home and country have been boundless.
For decades, family ties have been weak, and suddenly I got a letter from home, and my loved ones died.
The body is like an arrow through the bone, and the heart is like medicine.
Today, I sent silver silk with snow on my head and buried it back to my hometown with my mother.
