The Formation of the Theory of "Landscape Blending"
All literary and artistic works need to express feelings. Poetry, especially needs to express feelings. In poetry creation, we should express the poet's clear right and wrong, strong love and hate, touching sadness and joy. Touching poems are always filled with the poet's joys and sorrows between the lines, thus shocking readers' hearts and making them enjoy beauty.
Bai Juyi said: "Those who touch people's hearts should not worry about their feelings first." Diderot also said: "Without emotional quality, no style can touch people's hearts." Whether a poem has rich, intense, passionate and delicate emotions can be said to be an important symbol of its success.
Writers and critics in ancient China have long known that poetry should express feelings. For example, the author of Preface to Mao's Poems said: "The poet's ambition is also in his heart, and his words are poems, his feelings are in his heart, and his form is in his words." Here, "emotion" and "ambition" are clearly put together, which means that the most important feature of poetry is to express thoughts (ambition) and feelings (emotion).
