The use of images naturally varies from person to person, from thing to thing, from time to time and from emotion. Generally speaking, the methods of constructing intention can be divided into three categories: Fu, Bi and Xing. ?
Fu, that is to say, write directly. In the author's view, an image already has the characteristics of expressing one's feelings, and it can be directly used to project feelings. This kind of image is very common in China's poetry creation, such as the word "Xijiang Moon" selected by Xin Qiji in the textbook, "The bright moon surprises the magpie, the breeze sings cicadas in half a month, and the rice fragrance says that the harvest listens to the frogs." It can be said that all the words are laid out images, and a series of images directly outline a quiet rural night scene. There is no love word in the scenery described, but the feelings infiltrated by the author can be seen everywhere. ?
Comparison, which is often called metaphor, compares the author's feelings with other things, similes, metaphors or symbols in different ways, and directly compares his feelings with people or things, making them have the characteristics of people or things. Li Bai's "How lovely the mirror lock on the shelf is, though it is dark in the morning, it turns to snow at night", which directly compares images such as moss and snow to hair, making readers' association clear, clear and vivid at once and giving readers a vivid feeling. Shu Ting's poem "I am the worn-out old waterwheel on your forehead" has left a very deep impression on people, because the image of the old waterwheel symbolizes some kind of flesh-and-blood connection between "I" and the motherland, thus making the whole poem exquisite and exotic. ?
Xing, that is, "say something else first, so that the words can be sung." Xing must be attached to something, have a concrete image that can arouse Xing, and then make this concrete image penetrate into the author's feelings, thus producing artistic conception. The application of line drawing in creation can often be regarded as a kind of interest, such as Cang Kejia's poem "Old Horse" is a typical example. The poet created the image of an old horse by line drawing, making the cart "fit", "don't say a word anyway" and "buckle the pressure on its back into the meat". It just hung its head heavily. Here, the old horse is already a symbol and a rising object. The author used this image to pin his unyielding national personality and the author's praise. Therefore, this creative technique not only saves pen and ink, but also has profound meaning.
Poetry mainly relies on images to form the meaning of poetry, and there are various combinations of images in poetry. ?
The juxtaposition lists several groups of concrete images. For example, Du Mu's "Spring in the South of the Yangtze River" and "Nine Strange Winds in the Water Village" are the juxtaposition of several groups of water, mountains, wine, flags and winds, so that we can appreciate the unique style of spring in the south of the Yangtze River. ?
Contrast combination Select two or more groups of objects, which are opposite to each other and set off each other. For example, in Gao Shi's Ge Yanxing, "The Warriors still danced and sang for the beautiful girls in the camp for the first half of their lives", which was bloody on the one hand and indulgent on the other, and played a role in deepening the theme. ?
Synaesthesia image is the communication and mutual transformation of hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch. For example, in Shu Ting's "Lu Yu", "Bicycle bell hangs in space" and "Bell throws residual flowers in the throbbing long street", the former sentence of auditory bell is transformed into visual suspension, and the latter sentence of auditory sense of smell and psychological feelings are intertwined, forming a very wonderful realm. The bells can float and throw flowers, which makes readers marvel at the poet's rich imagination. ?
Absurd combination is the combination of two or more illogical and logical images, that is, the impossible in reality can be realized in psychological feelings. For example, in Qiu Lai by Li He, "Autumn Grave Ghosts Sing Bao Poems" and "Ghost Singing" are staggering, as if people heard Autumn Grave Ghosts sing Bao Zhao's "Song of Eternal Sorrow" to express the author's grief and sadness. The poetic style is novel and mysterious, which coincides with the genius of Shi Li's poetry in absurdity and illusion. ?
Whether it is juxtaposition or contrast, synaesthesia or absurdity, the significance of poetry lies in their different combinations. The application of these skills in poetry creation makes poetry show infinite charm. To interpret poetry, we must first understand these basic poetry combinations, so as to appreciate poetry more accurately.
