Unity of Emotion and Emotion

Poetry is an important part of China traditional literature. It was born at the earliest time, but it is also the most difficult to understand. How to understand and use poetry has become an important topic, so the concept of "poetry expressing ambition" explains the above problems well. Expressing ambition by poetry not only directly inspired the theory of poetry, but also had a far-reaching impact on China's ancient literary concept. No wonder Mr. Zhu Ziqing said that it was the "pioneering program" of China's ancient poetics in distinguishing poems and expressing aspirations. After a long time, the original meaning of poetry has also changed, but in terms of poetry, it is understandable and reasonable. Only in the perfect combination of emotion and ambition can poetry play a greater role.

First, the poetic expression in history.

"Poetry expresses ambition" comes from Shangshu? Yao Dian: "The emperor said: loss! I order you to learn music and teach your son. Straight and warm, wide and chestnut, just but not abusive, simple but not proud; Poetry expresses ambition, song always speaks, sound always follows, law and harmony; Eight-tone harmony, no phase, harmony between man and nature. "

This sentence fully embodies the view that ancient poetry and music are indistinguishable. Poetry, in its early days, is not a literary style, but a combination of song and dance as a ceremony. However, Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Jie Zi? Yan Bu: "Poetry, ambition also. The ambition comes from words, the words come from words, and the sound comes from the temple. " According to Wen Yiduo's textual research, poetry and ambition are the same word, and ambition has three meanings: memory, record and embrace. The Book of Songs is the most complete and oldest collection of poems, which embodies the theory of expressing ambition with poems. For example, "Feng Wei? Storytelling vividly reveals the parasitic nature of slave owners in a cynical style and sings the voice of people's resistance; , Feng Wei? Bo Xi, etc. Show thinking women's nostalgia for recruiting people; Qin Feng? Jia Jian shows the fantastic pursuit between men and women. By the Han dynasty, people's understanding of the essential characteristics of poetry, that is, "poetry expresses people's thoughts and feelings and presents people's spiritual world", basically became clear. Preface to Mao's Poems says: "The poet's ambition lies in his heart, his words are poems, his emotions are in the middle, and his words are in form. "Emotions and emotions are integrated, linked, and more targeted and objective.

Second, "love, one also"

In essence, poetry has fallen from a part of the system of rites and music to an artistic form of expressing personal feelings and wishes. Functionally, poetry has changed from a utilitarian educational tool of politics and religion to a personal life singing. The understanding of Fu, Bi and Xing has changed from a sarcastic educational means to a grasp of the aesthetic essence of poetry. Kong Ying Da thinks: "I love myself, and I am passionate about my ambition. I am also passionate about my ambitions. " According to this explanation, "ambition" is not an inherent and static thing in people's minds, but a product of "emotion". Emotion varies from person to person, so does poetry. Whether it is to express politics, love, joys and sorrows, whether it is sung by literati or folk labor songs, it is lyrical. The Book of Songs was originally a work of the people's affection, but it changed its flavor for the purpose of Confucian education. Those ambitious words, which are not heartfelt sighs.

Poetry, only by combining feelings and wishes, emphasizes that poetry should not only reflect reality and serve education, but also attach importance to its social role; It is also necessary to express feelings and aspirations, blend feelings and things, and highlight its lyricism; Pay equal attention to emotion, utility and artistry will not be neglected. This peaceful view is not only a personal interest, but also highlights the social function. Only by being impartial, simple and natural can we taste the tranquil charm of China's poetics and have a deeper understanding.
