What is the connection and difference between image and artistic conception in ancient poetry?

Image refers to an objective thing that is integrated with the author's subjective feelings, and it permeates the author's aesthetic consciousness and personality interest. Generally speaking, when creating, poets will express their feelings with the help of objective things and turn them into images.

Artistic conception is a kind of beautiful artistic realm created by the poet with the help of various artistic techniques, which is a blend of scenes, reality and reality, and the same feeling between things and me. It usually refers to the realm created by a whole poem, a few poems or a poem. Images are just some specific small units that constitute artistic conception, which is formed by images and their interaction.

To put it simply:

Artistic conception is the soul of image, and all intentions constitute artistic conception.

and then give an example ... but don't look at it ~!

Tianjingsha Qiu Si uses ten images of "withered vines, old trees, faint crows, small bridges, flowing water, people's homes, ancient roads, west winds, thin horses and sunset" to express bleak autumn, thus creating an artistic conception of being lonely and homesick for autumn. Image is an objective thing that blends into the author's emotion, artistic conception is the artistic realm of poetry, and image constitutes artistic conception.
