What poetic innovation measures did the intentional poet put forward?

Because most imagist poets have experienced symbolic poetry creation, some people in the theoretical circle regard imagism as a branch of symbolism. In fact, imagist and symbolist poetry are very different in essence. Imagism is not satisfied with symbolism to find the metaphorical meaning and symbolic meaning behind the image by guessing, and is not satisfied with finding the mysterious relationship between the image and the thought, but to make poetry reflected in the description of the image in an instant. It advocates using vivid images to restrain feelings, not preaching, not abstract lyricism and unreasonable. Therefore, Imagist poetry is short, pithy and vivid. A poem often has only one image or several images. Although symbolism also uses images, both of which regard images as "objective counterparts", symbolism regards images as symbols and pays attention to association, suggestion and metaphor, making images into codes to be translated. Imagism, on the other hand, is "from symbolic symbols to the real world", focusing on the image itself of poetry, that is, concreteness. Let emotions and thoughts merge in the image, which is naturally reflected in an instant without thinking.

Like many schools in western literary and art circles at the beginning of this century, Imagism was abandoned in a short time. Instead, vortex theory came into being, but as an idea, vortex theory has little sympathy and weak influence. The creation of vortex school focuses on expressing strength rather than displaying image. Pound and the supporters of vortex theory ran a magazine Elast during the period of1914-1915. In his creation, he also followed some viewpoints of the Vortex School.

The aim of Imagism is to ask poets to be vivid, accurate, implicit and highly concentrated.

Vividly express things and melt the poet's thoughts and feelings between his lines. It opposes comments and sighs. During his stay in London, Pound established a salon with HildaDoolittle and RichardAldington, which was supported by many people, including D.H. Law-Lawrence and WilliamCarlosWilliams. Imagism was founded in 1902. Pound once edited TheEgoist, an imagist publication, and in 19 13 he edited the first collection of imagist poems.

Imagism has no specific theory, but it has its own aesthetic thought, which can be roughly summarized as follows: using ordinary language, but using accurate words; Avoid poems and idioms that have sounds or are inadvertently used for decoration; Free choice of materials; Create new rhythms to express new emotions; Use images to present concrete, firm and affirmative pictures; Implied meaning, not directly expressed. Modern schools of British and American poetry. Image is an objective image with subjective feelings and an inherent concept in China's classical literary theory.
