In fact, China's traditional poetics refers to the artistic techniques of expressing feelings in scenery, borrowing scenery to express feelings and blending scenes. The process of poetry creation is a process of observation, feeling, brewing and expression, and a process of reappearing life. Sometimes, social things recited in poetry, characters depicted, life scenes depicted, social life plots and historical facts laid out are also used to entrust feelings, which is also an image.
That is, the social image relative to the object image and the natural image. It is a term used in the analysis of poetry and prose, which refers to everything that constitutes artistic conception. This kind of thing often carries the author's subjective feelings, and these images combine to form an artistic conception. For example, in Ma Zhiyuan's "Qiu Si", in the sentence "Old vines and old trees cry faintly, small bridges and flowing water"
Interpretation is: at dusk, a group of crows landed on an old tree with withered vines and made a piercing cry. Under the small bridge, the running water tinkled, and a thin horse on the ancient road struggled against the west wind.
Dead vines, old trees, faint crows, small bridges, running water and people are all images in the poem. When these images are combined together, they become a sad and sad artistic conception. The image is concrete, and the artistic conception is the combination of the overall environment and feelings composed of concrete things. Feelings are pinned on the scene, and there are feelings in the scene, and the scene blends.
