“All scene language is love language” means that all the language describing scenery in poetry contains emotions and exists to express the poet’s feelings.
Source?
This sentence comes from the "Censored Manuscripts of Human Words" written by Wang Guowei, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty.
Excerpts from the original text
“In ancient times, when people discussed poetry, they differentiated between landscape language and love language. I didn’t know that all landscape language is also love language. I use literature for my purpose, how can I use literature to express my feelings? Is writing based on the external environment? If there is no emotion, then the writing will be completed. Therefore, writing must be moved by emotion, and emotion must be born from writing. Therefore, from literature to emotion, we cannot separate ourselves. And they can be distinguished."
Translation?
In the past, people divided poetry into landscape language and love language, but they did not know that all landscape language contains emotions. Because poetry uses words as a tool, what significance does the external environment of words have? Without emotions, words will not infect people. With emotions, words can become works of art. Therefore, words must have emotions to move people, and emotions must be generated with the help of words. Therefore, from words to emotions, they are inseparable; but from emotions to words, they can be viewed separately.
Appreciation?
In this sentence, Wang Guowei emphasized the importance of emotion in poetry and believed that all scenery language exists to express emotion. He believes that words are a tool to express emotions, and only when emotion is combined with text can it become a true work of art and truly move people's hearts. Therefore, when writing, you should put emotion first, let the words obey the emotions, rather than let the emotions change with the words. Only in this way can readers feel the poet's emotions while reading and gain a true aesthetic experience.
Creative background
When Wang Guowei talked about the relationship between emotion and scenery in "Removed Manuscripts of Human Words", he inherited and developed the ideas of Wang Fuzhi, a poetic critic in the early Qing Dynasty. Wang Euzhi believes that if one cannot use the language to describe scenes, it will be difficult to express emotions. Wang Guowei, on the other hand, emphasized the close relationship between emotion and scenery, and the interaction between emotion and scenery.
Notes
"Scenery language" refers to the language used to describe scenery in poetry,
"Emotional language" refers to the language used to express emotions.
Life inspiration
When we write and express emotions, scenery can play a very good supporting role as a carrier of emotional expression. In life, you can also use scenery as a medium for emotional expression, such as expressing love by sending a bouquet of flowers, expressing longing by choosing a special postcard, etc. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the mutual penetration of emotions and scenery and cannot be separated. When expressing emotions, the scenery should be used as an auxiliary to the emotion, rather than becoming the protagonist, so that the emotion can be expressed better.
