What is a picture poem?

Paintings poems are poems that set off the theme of a painting. Also called painting poetry, painting poetry. In the blank space of Chinese painting, the painter himself or others often write a poem, the content of the poem or express the author's feelings; Or talk about artistic opinions; Or recite the artistic conception of the picture.

Inscribed poems: Writing poems for painting, painting poems, or revealing the theme of the picture, or sublimating the connotation of the picture, or expounding the content of the picture, or chanting the praise of the picture itself, or expressing feelings about the artistic conception of the picture, can enhance the artistic tension of the picture, and the complementary artistic conception of poetry and painting is far-reaching. Painting poems, also known as painting poems, are part of the painting rules. They are expressed in painting through calligraphy, so that the beauty of poetry, calligraphy and painting are skillfully combined, reflecting and enriching each other, enhancing the formal beauty of works and forming the artistic characteristics of Chinese painting. In addition, before the Song Dynasty, many poems praising paintings or expressing feelings for paintings were poems on paintings in a broad sense, although they were not poems on paintings. Chinese painting pays great attention to "artistic conception", and often draws poems, which complement each other and make the artistic conception more profound. Then put a red seal on the picture, so that China's painting integrates poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing, forming a unique art form, and making people fully enjoy the beauty of art while reading, viewing and appreciating poetry. Paintings began to spread from Wang Wei and Du Fu in Tang Dynasty, and became more popular after Yuan Dynasty. Today, they are still seen in paintings. Xiqing Poetry Talk says that "beauty is mutual when Dan Qing intones", which integrates poetry and painting, and makes literature and art become one. What it says is the artistic effect of "poetic and picturesque, and the scenery is rendered poetic and picturesque, and the two complement each other and get a subtle effect".

Poetry with pictures, like propositional composition, should first be relevant, and then interpret and understand the artistic conception of the picture and the theme that the author wants to express, and then give full play to the imagination and describe the picture as a poem with words. This is a process of transformation, but our imagination space cannot be expanded too much, and we should imagine it according to the artistic conception of the picture. Getting rid of the box, that is, getting rid of the superficial imagination of painting and meaning, is to grasp its essence and expand the artistic conception. If the content of association is beyond the space of painting, it is not called writing poetry by looking at pictures. But only pay attention to the superficial phenomenon, but lose the soul, can only say that the expansion is not mature enough. To enter the artistic conception of the author, it is very important to understand the painter's mood and pay attention to details.
