Hello!!
Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, well reflected his concept of unity of artistic conception in poetry and painting in his poetry creation. "There is painting in the poem" is the artistic feature of Wang Wei's poetic works, which is naturally reflected in all important creative links. This article only appreciates it from the three aspects of structure, material refining and language. (1) Structure. Wang Wei's poems are often written in the form of group poems. Each poem can form a picture, and together they can be assembled into a harmonious panoramic picture. (2) Refining materials. Refers to the selection of materials and practice of ideas. Wang's poems are good at capturing images and creating images, and they reflect the characteristics of painting in their poems. (3) Language. Wang's poems are good at using words and sentences to describe the sound, color, light and attitude of images. Of course, the above several aspects are discussed separately in this article only for the convenience of discussion. In fact, these three aspects are integrated and unified in his poems.
Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was both a poet and a painter. He integrated the art of poetry and painting into one, leaving behind eternal famous poems and famous paintings handed down from generation to generation, which gave people an emotional appeal and beautiful scenery. enjoy.
"When you taste Mojie's poems, there are paintings in the poems; when you look at Mojie's paintings, there are poems in the paintings." This is Su Shi's praise of Wang Wei's poems and paintings (see "Dongpo Zhilin"). Since the Song Dynasty, countless people have used similar words to praise other poets or painters. This shows that poetry and painting are sister arts, and the artistic realms they create are often connected, and they have a close influence on each other. However, when we mention the realm of "painting in poetry" or "poetry in painting", we naturally think of Wang Wei's name and feel that only he is suitable to be the representative of this artistic realm. This shows that Dong The profoundness of Poe's comments means that the depth and breadth of this artistic realm reflected in Wang Wei's writings should be more prominent than those of ordinary poetry and painting writers, and more worthy of our exploration.
This article only puts forward some of my own opinions on the issue of "painting in poetry", which may help explain the artistic characteristics of Wang Wei's poetry.
Although poetry and painting are sister arts, they each have their own characteristics and limitations due to the use of different tools and materials. The saying "there is painting in poetry" should take poetry as the main body, absorb some elements of painting, and integrate it into the poetic environment, thereby reflecting a beauty that is difficult to achieve in ordinary poetry. At the same time, when we say that a certain writer's "poetry has paintings", it should be based on the artistic characteristics of all his works. This requires the author to be highly proficient in all aspects of poetry and painting creation, especially in conception, so that they can penetrate each other and integrate naturally. To achieve this, the ideal writer should be both a great poet and a great painter. Wang Wei can be said to be a representative figure among ancient poets with this condition. Therefore, "painting in poetry" can be reflected as the artistic feature of all Wang Wei's works. It is not only reflected in the image depiction of landscapes, but also in the language combination of sound, light, color and form, and even in non-landscape scenes. In some aspects of the creation of scenery.
"Poetic and picturesque", this is a common saying. From its meaning, we can get a glimpse of the close relationship between poetry, painting and emotion, and we can also see that poetry is mainly about emotion, while painting is mainly about intention. As far as poetry is concerned, all effective expression methods should make the poetic expression more practical, more graspable by readers, and more able to infect readers. Even the most ethereal expression techniques have the same effect. Only by clarifying this point can we make a reasonable explanation of the artistic characteristics of Wang Wei's poetry.
The above explanation: (1) "Poetry has paintings" must be examined based on the artistic characteristics of all works of a writer; (2) "Poems have paintings" cannot be analyzed apart from the effects of expressions. These are the two basic points for us to understand "paintings in poems" and to correctly evaluate the artistic characteristics of Wang Wei's poetry. The following will be verified and elucidated in connection with Wang Wei's works.
Since "painting in poetry" is the artistic feature of all Wang Wei's poetic works, it is naturally reflected in every important creative link. For the sake of convenience, we will analyze it separately from three aspects: structure, material refining and language. At the same time, this feature is more obvious in sentences about scenery and landscapes, but more subtle in sentences about non-scenery and landscapes. Therefore, when we give examples, we also go from explicit to implicit to facilitate inference.
