Image refers to: an objective phenomenon organized in an orderly way in subjective consciousness; Artistic conception refers to the artistic realm formed by the fusion of the life picture depicted in literary and artistic works and the expressed thoughts and feelings.
2. The usage is different.
Artistic conception is more holistic than literary works, and its application is also related to literary works. If there are sentences such as scenes described in literary works in the topic, you must choose artistic conception instead of images.
Image is mainly formed by people's subjective consciousness, which is closely related to people's initiative and subjectivity, but also closely related to objective facts and is a subjective reflection of objective phenomena. Let's practice the usage of these two words.
3. Different connotations.
Image: Poets should use certain 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".
Artistic conception: it is the artistic realm formed by the integration 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.
