What is a poetic eye?

There are two definitions of poetic eye: it refers to the poet's ability to appreciate and observe. Refers to a poem or the most concise and vivid sentence in a poem, which is the crowning touch of a poem, that is, a wonderful poem that embodies the theme of the whole poem.

Poetic eye refers to the most refined and expressive words or sentences in a poem, which can usually convey the emotion and artistic conception of the whole poem. The reason why "poetic eye" is called "poetic eye" is that these words or sentences condense the soul of the whole poem and can vividly express the meaning, emotion and artistic conception of the poem.

In different poems, the appearance and expression of poetic eyes are different. Generally speaking, poetic eyes can be divided into two types: one is the poetic eyes of a whole poem, and the other is the poetic eyes of a couplet or a sentence.

The finishing touch of the whole poem usually appears at the end, and the theme and significance of the whole poem are expressed through the summary of the whole article and the sublimation of the theme. For example, in "Farewell to Ancient Grass" by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, the whole poem uses "wildfire never quite consumes them, the spring breeze blows high" to express the immortality and eternity of vitality, which is also the crowning touch of the whole poem.

The poetic eye of couplets or sentences is to express the meaning and emotion of couplets or sentences by highlighting a word or sentence in the whole poem. For example, in "Into the Wine" written by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, you can't see how the water of the Yellow River moved out of heaven and entered the ocean, which is gone forever.

Poetic eye writing

Poets are usually required to have high literary attainments and the ability to understand poetry. To write a poem well, the poet needs to grasp the theme and emotion of the whole poem, make clear the meaning and artistic conception he expresses, and integrate all the words or sentences to make the whole poem more harmonious and unified.

In a word, "poetic eye" is the most refined and expressive word or sentence in poetry and the soul of the whole poem. To write a poem well requires not only the poet's high literary attainments and understanding of the poem, but also a thorough consideration and grasp of the theme and emotion of the whole poem in the process of writing, so as to integrate all the words or sentences and make the whole poem more harmonious and unified.
