The original text of Natural Scenery in "Humanjiancihua": There is a created scene ①, and there is a written scene ②. This is the reason why the two schools of ideal and realism are divided. However, it is difficult to distinguish between the two. This is because the environment created by a great poet must be in line with nature, and the environment he writes must be close to the ideal.
Notes
①Creation: It is the artistic conception created by the creator through imagination, association, etc. It is a romantic creative method and is more important than artistic fiction.
②Scenery: It is the creator’s description and representation of the real world and real life. It is a realist creative method, but it has a certain ideal tendency.
Translation
There are two types of realm creation: creation realm and writing realm. There is a difference between idealism and realism in creating and describing a landscape. However, it is difficult to distinguish between creating and describing a landscape. Because the environment created by a great poet must be in line with nature, and the environment he writes must be close to ideal.
Appreciation
"Creation" is mostly used by romantic poets. For example, Qu Yuan's "Li Sao" is full of fantasy, and through extremely rich imagination and association, the world and heaven are , reality and dreams, past and present are perfectly intertwined, painting a colorful picture of the fantasy world. Another example is Li Bai's poetry, which is bold, elegant, free and easy, rich in imagination, and the language flows naturally. He is the most outstanding romantic poet in my country after Qu Yuan. "Scenery writing" is mostly used by realist poets. For example, the poems of Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Liu Zongyuan, Du Xunhe, Lu You and others are mostly descriptions of reality.
"Creation" is the poet's sublimation of reality. It is the artistic picture painted by the poet through romantic techniques based on careful observation of the real world. "Scenery writing" is the poet's faithful representation of reality. In the representation of reality, the author's own ideals and wishes are often placed. Because the two are often fused together, there is me in you and you in me, so Wang Guowei said that "it is difficult to distinguish the two."
