On the Poetic Theory of "Three Beauty"

Poetic meter is the most important one in Mr. Wen Yiduo's series of poetic theories. In this paper, he systematically put forward that "the power of poetry includes not only the beauty of music (syllables), the beauty of painting (words), but also the beauty of architecture (symmetry of knots and uniformity of sentences)." This proposition about the "three beauties" of new poetry has become the theoretical program of the new metrical poetry school.

Mr. Wen Yiduo thinks that the musical beauty of poetry is the most important. He advocated meter, claiming that "poetry can completely use its rhythm to stimulate emotion;" Rhythm is a beat ... The more enterprising a writer is, the more he has to dance in chains in order to dance happily and well. Only those who can't dance can blame the shackles for getting in the way, and only those who can't write poetry can feel the bondage of meter. For those who can't write poetry, meter is an obstacle to performance; For a writer, meter has become a sharp weapon of expression ... because there are only prose with simple rhythm in the world, but there must be no poetry without rhythm. Poetry has never deviated from meter or rhythm. The ",that" meter can be said to belong to the visual aspect of meter from two aspects, with the symmetry of nodes and the unity of sentences. There are formats, scales, levels and rhymes that belong to hearing. " He also believes that "neat words are the inevitable phenomenon of syllable harmony, while absolutely harmonious syllables must be neat", and puts forward his own views on the problem that the number of words is neat but the syllables are not necessarily harmonious: "That's because only the number of words is neat, without considering the tone ruler". In other words, the combination of musical factors such as scales and rhymes constitutes the rhythm and rhythm of poetry, and the harmony of syllables and rhymes constitutes the musical beauty of poetry and becomes the basic driving force of poetry. The theory of "sound level" is Wen Yiduo's most proud discovery, so that at the end of the paper, he thinks that "new poetry is about to enter a new construction period"

The theory of painting beauty of new poetry is the inheritance of China traditional culture, which mainly refers to the words used in poetry, that is, the language of poetry requires beauty and color, and pays attention to the visual image and intuition of poetry. The homology of poetry and painting is a major feature of China culture. Among the sages, poems and paintings often complement each other and set each other off. Su Dongpo commented after reading Wang Wei's poems and paintings: "There are paintings in the poems, which are fascinating; Look at the picture, there are poems in the picture. " Banqiao's exquisite bamboo sticks stand out from the crowd in poetry and painting. In Mr. Wang's poems, there are often red, yellow, blue, purple, gold, black and white words and colorful objects. In addition, he also pays attention to the contrast of colors, so that poetry and painting are interlinked.

The theory of architectural beauty of new poetry was put forward by Mr. Wang according to the characteristics of Chinese. "Our writing is pictographic. When we appreciate literature and art in China, at least half of our impressions are conveyed through our eyes. It turns out that literature is an art that takes up both time and space. Since it takes up space, it can't make a concrete impression visually-this is a pity of European characters. Our writing has the possibility of creating this impression. If we don't use it, it will be a pity ... If someone asks what the characteristics of new poetry are, we should answer him: adding the possibility of architectural beauty is one of the characteristics of new poetry. " Compared with the architectural beauty of regular poetry, it is concluded that "(regular poetry) can be much worse". Because "there is always only one format of metrical poems, and the format of new poems is endless ... The metrical form of metrical poems has nothing to do with the content, but the format of new poems is formulated according to the spirit of the content ... The format of metrical poems is determined by others, and the format of new poems can be constructed by our own artists at any time". Mainly refers to the overall appearance of poetry, the bars should be symmetrical and the lines should be uniform. Although there is no need to rigidly limit the number of words in each line to be equal, in order to have a sense of uniformity, the differences between lines should not be too big.
