What is "artistic conception"? Wang Guowei said in the History of Song and Yuan Dynasties: "Writing feelings is refreshing, writing scenery is in people's eyes and ears, and words are as they say." The best of ancient poetry is this. Wang Guowei also said: "If you can describe the scenery and true feelings, you will say that there is a realm, otherwise you will say that there is no realm. "In fact, what can truly reflect the beauty of a poem's artistic conception should be the organic combination of emotion and scenery, and the inseparable relationship between emotion and scenery, that is, we appreciate a poem, see how it describes the scenery, and see how it blends thoughts and feelings through the scenery. This is an artistic pursuit of artistic conception in ancient poetry creation. The artistic conception of China's classical poetry presents that kind of beautiful form, which is repetitive and multifaceted. It presents itself to us in various forms. In other words, when people read poems, the beauty of artistic conception they experience is different. It is not that the beauty of artistic conception is an artistic conception or that the feeling of beauty is a feeling. That's not true. In fact, the beauty of artistic conception is very rich. I sum it up in eight aspects. The first artistic conception is called "majestic and broad"; The second is called "openness and cheerfulness"; The third is called "desolation and tragic"; The fourth kind is called "deep depression". These four types have one thing in common, that is, they show a kind of "masculine beauty". In addition, there are four kinds, the first is called "magnificent"; The second is called "cold silence"; The third is called "fresh and elegant"; The fourth kind is called "cold cold". Generally speaking, these four kinds all show one thing in common, that is, "female beauty." Therefore, the artistic beauty of poetry gives us nothing more than "masculine beauty" and "feminine beauty". Then, one type of "masculine beauty" is the artistic conception of "vigorous and broad". Poems in this artistic conception are often magnificent, magnificent, lyrical and shocking when writing landscapes, and often exaggerated and shocking in language. The second kind is called "open and cheerful", and the general feature of this artistic conception is that the scenery is often clean and refined, and the reality and the reality coexist. Lyric, often open and cheerful, slow and long, language, generally healthy and lively, fantastic and elegant. The third kind is called "desolation and tragic", which is characterized by beautiful artistic conception. In terms of scenery description, it is often vast and far-reaching, steep and sparse, in terms of lyricism, it is often bold and unconstrained, sad and sad, and in terms of language, it is often simple and vigorous, upright and solemn. The fourth is "deep gloom". This kind of poetry is generally characterized by deep content accumulation, deep feelings and stagnation. In language, it is often unpretentious, rarely exaggerated and good at touching things.
We talked about four kinds above. After reading these poems, we often have an image in front of us, some of which are like mountains, spanning space; Some are like the waves before the river crosses; Some are like lightning and thunder, walking on clouds; Some are like the wind rolling water, and the trees are scattered; Some, such as strong men wielding swords, are sad and miserable; Some are like pouring wine and singing; Some seem to be singing, drinking and hating on the banks of the Ze River. In a word, these images give us a sense of beauty. Generally speaking, this kind of aesthetic feeling is exciting, unrestrained and enthusiastic, deep and solid, vigorous and sad. These four kinds, we say, belong to "masculine beauty". As for "female beauty", I also summarize it into four types: the first type is called "magnificence", and most of the themes described in this kind of poems are based on wine and beauty; The expression technique it adopts is often thick painting and deliberate carving; Its artistic image is often resplendent and magnificent. The second kind is called "indifferent and quiet", and the artistic conception of this kind of poems is often described with nature as the theme, which shows the author's elegant mood of escaping from the world. The third kind is called "fresh and elegant". Generally speaking, most of the poems described by the author are natural scenery, green mountains and green waters, fragrant grass and flowers, which are relatively dull. Or describe some innocent characters, lively, handsome and lovely. Its expression techniques are often delicate, beautiful, unique and euphemistic, as if it were a flowing spring full of life. The fourth is "cold cold". In this kind of poetry, the situations it expresses are mostly sad, such as sadness and crying, which often move people's hearts with sadness and sadness. Reading such poems can arouse people's fear and pity, and arouse people's love and yearning for beautiful things in a tragic way.
