1. Image: Poets should use some images to create poems. These images written in works are the "images" of images. However, because they were written through the choice and judgment of the poet, they attached the poet's subjective understanding and emotion (that is, "meaning"), so these images are no longer ordinary images in reality. We call this psychological image which combines subjective feelings with external objects and images "image".
2. Artistic conception: it is the artistic realm formed by the fusion of the objective picture depicted in literary works and the expressed thoughts and feelings. It depends on the image of the work, which is beyond the specific image and requires association and imagination. Moreover, when we say artistic conception, we only mean a few excellent literary works, and not all literary works can produce artistic conception.
For example:
Simple concepts are not easy to understand. Take the willow tree for example: its images are farewell, nostalgia and wishes.
In ancient poetry, parting is often associated with willow trees to express farewell. The reason is that there is an isomorphic relationship between them, and the swaying form of weak willow branches can convey the departure of relatives and friends.
The feeling of "reluctant to part" when leaving; Because of the homophonic sound of "willow" and "willow", the ancients often used folding willows to express their deep feelings of farewell. What's more, because Liu Zhiyi lives a good life, he pinned his good wishes on sending others away.
