Views on poetry creation in ancient poetics. In essence, it is a requirement to feel and arouse the spirit. Although the word "fun" appeared in poems before the Song Dynasty, it was first put forward by Yan Yu as a creative problem. Canghua >. In Cang Shi Hua Bian, Yan Yu put forward "interest" as one of the "five methods of poetry"; He also said, "Poets sing for love. Poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty are only interested in it and can't be found. " "Xing" refers to "poetic interest", that is, the writer's emotion and creative impulse caused by contact with foreign objects, that is, "Xing" of "love is like a gift and joy is like an answer". "Fun" refers to the charm of poetry. Unlike Zhong Rong's "fun", Si Kongtu's "fun" is similar to the "fun intention" in The Collection of Poetry. "Interest" means that poetry creation should be inspired by emotion: that is, masterpieces, arousing spirit, appealing to artistic intuition, thinking without being hollow, and demanding natural expression without carving. This is the Song Dynasty, which takes abstract reasoning as poetry and heaping allusions as poetry, which undoubtedly has the positive significance of making up for the losses. For some lyric short system, such a request is completely reasonable. Poetry should naturally have feelings, not moaning without illness. However, poems that have a moment's inspiration and don't think about their reputation can certainly become famous works, and they are not all well-structured. Similarly, a thoughtful and promising poem is not necessarily a good poem. There is nothing wrong with complaining about poetry creation, piling up stale ideas and advocating interest. But it can't be used as a universal principle of poetry creation. In Li Bai, Du Fu and even Tang poetry, there are many famous articles that express their feelings directly, narrate fluently and discuss generously. Therefore, the generalization of the theory that "poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty only care about their interests" is one-sided. This principle was later inherited by Wang Shizhen, a "verve school", and it is also of positive significance to oppose the imitation of the Seven Scholars in Ming Dynasty. However, he unilaterally emphasized the revival of the conference, "doing things with spirit", and even "all colors are empty" (Poetry has Classics), which further developed the one-sidedness of the "interest theory" and became an excuse to reject artistic ideology.
