1, combined in parallel
Zou Huofan wrote in a poem called Bud: "A young smile/a hidden love/a jar of good wine/an unfinished ideal/a burning heart/"The poet listed five images in one breath to describe the charm of the bud. The poet regards the flower bud as a flower bud with the image of "laughter", "love", "wine", "ideal" and "heart", which is connected with some abstract emotions. The juxtaposition of the five images highlights a kind of praise for youth. This juxtaposition is to connect the images that seem to jump a lot on the surface, but are generally considered irrelevant by the poet's internal emotional experience. This combination begins with images and ends with images. It is difficult for readers to directly read the poet's hidden deep feelings, and it is necessary to chew its meaning carefully through these juxtaposed image systems.
2. Staggered combination
This method also needs to combine many images, but the poet deliberately combines completely opposite and contradictory images to form an image system of one positive and one negative, one flat and one strange, which has produced unexpected and thought-provoking aesthetic effects. This combination of images is very common in China's ancient poems. "The wine in Zhumen stinks, and the bones on the road are frozen" (Du Fu) and "Half of the frontline soldiers are dead, and half are still alive, and there are beautiful girls dancing and singing for them in the camp" (Normal University) are all such examples. This combination is also very common. Why Ling wrote in "Change": "Flowers in the field/people who love her/blue walls locked in enamel bottles/boats in rapids/frolicking waves/placed on golden beaches/in a human comedy/in a human tragedy/"Flowers grow in the fields, locked in vases, and the boats are moving forward and stranded. These contradictory images are intertwined and enlightening.
3. Sudden trans combination
This method also needs to combine many images. The poet first starts from a core image and combines some similar images around it. After the rendering of poetic images is completed, an opposite image is finally introduced, forming a poetic situation of first promoting and then suppressing, first being empty and then being real. The last image is the real theme of this poem. Taiwan Province poet Zheng Chouyu's "Mistake" first wrote a lovely girl waiting for "me". However, the last image, "I", is just a passer-by passing by Jiangnan. This accident infected readers with the sadness caused by "beautiful mistakes". This method of combining images has its special aesthetic taste.
