Aesthetic characteristics of poetry

(A) the aesthetic nature of emotion

Emotion is the main aesthetic feature of poetry. "Touching people, don't worry about love first." Belinsky said: Emotion is an important active factor in the essence of poetry; No mood. There are no poets. No poetry. "Rich life emotion is a prerequisite for writing poetry.

All excellent poems, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, are full of rich and sincere feelings. What they write, whether it is love, hate, sadness, joy and anger, is a tremor and explosion of feelings. Qu yuan's Li Sao: "I take a long breath to hide my tears and mourn the suffering of the people", expressing my sad feelings of worrying about the country and the people; Shelley's ode to the west wind: "Let the horn of prophecy ring! Oh, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind? " Expressed the poet's pursuit and eager yearning for freedom and liberation; Heine Silesia Textile Worker: "Germany, we are knitting your shroud, we are knitting in the triple curse, we are knitting, we are knitting!" " Pour out hatred for autocratic rule; Guo Moruo's "Phoenix Nie Paddle" is to cheer for the motherland after "rehabilitation"; Shu Ting's To Oak expresses a strong love with dignity.

(B) the illusory nature of art

Poetry is an independent and self-consistent artistic world created by poets. This world is illusory. Or the art of poetry is illusory. Xie Mian said in Chorus with New China that the basic way of poetry should be the refraction of life. This kind of refraction, like sunlight shining in a prism, can reflect life brilliantly and wonderfully. "In order to express their unique inner consciousness and emotions, poets make new combinations of things through free association and imagination, bold and magical exaggeration and deformation. So as to construct the images needed to express emotions. It is the illusion of artistic expression that gets the truth of poetic emotion. For example, Li Bai's Song of Autumn Pu: "White hair and three thousands of feet, sorrow is as long as long. "This is a bold exaggeration and deformation, but it shows the true sadness inside. It is an extreme exaggeration to use "but since the water is still flowing, although we cut it with our swords" as a metaphor for "raising a glass to drown our sorrows", but it makes people feel highly real.
