Imaginary pictographic characteristics of classical Chinese poetry

Ancient Chinese poetry generally starts with imagery, and it is wrong for imagery here to be an abstract concept.

Ancient poetry is a general term for ancient Chinese poetry, referring to poetic works created by ancient Chinese. Ancient poems in a broad sense include poems, words, and loose songs, while ancient poems in a narrow sense only refer to poems, including ancient style poems and near-style poems.

Ancient poems, that is, the ancient poems of the Zhonghua Beiguo, refer to the poetry works of China before the Opium War in 1840. Its original meaning is a poem written by ancient people. Broadly speaking, ancient Chinese poetry includes poems, lyrics, and essays composed by ancient people; In a narrow sense, ancient poetry only refers to ancient style poems and near-style poems made by ancient people.

Rhythmic poems are also known as near-style poems, and Liangjian is a kind of ancient Chinese poetry, which is a poetic style formed after the Tang Dynasty, and is mainly divided into quatrains and rhythmic poems. According to the number of words in each sentence, it can be divided into five words and seven words. There are certain specifications for the structure and sentence structure, there are certain rules for the pronunciation, and certain rules are also required to be observed for the use of changes.

Free verse is poetry with no regular syllables, rhymes, keys, and other formal designs. It pursues an "organic form" and relies on the natural rhythm of speech. This kind of speech is "natural" to the subject matter and feelings of the poem.

Free verse is not a modern invention, but it came to a significant importance with the advent of modernism and constitutes a rebellion against the fixed forms of 19th-century poetry. Free verse has no external form to draw on, and is probably the most difficult to write well compared to previous poems.

1. The imagery of poetry usually refers to the image of nature, that is, the image taken from nature to convey feelings. The ancients thought that meaning is the inner abstract mind, and the image is the external concrete image; Meaning originates from the heart and is expressed with the help of images, which are actually the sustenance of meaning.

2. Traditional Chinese poetry actually refers to the artistic processing skills of allegorical feelings, scenes, and scenes. The process of poetry creation is a process of observation, feeling, brewing, and expression, and a process of reproducing life. Sometimes, the social things sung in the poem, the characters portrayed, the life scenes depicted, and the social life plots and historical facts laid out are also used to express feelings, which is also an image.

3. That is, the image of things relative to the image of things, and the image of society relative to the image of nature. It is a term used in the analysis of poetry and prose, referring to the various things that constitute an artistic conception, which often carry the subjective emotions of the author, and the combination of these images constitutes the artistic conception. For example, in Ma Zhiyuan's "Autumn Thoughts", in the sentence "withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water", the interpretation is:

At dusk, a flock of crows landed on an old tree entwined with dead vines and let out a terrible wail. The water under the small bridge is rattling, and a thin horse on the ancient road is curling with smoke from the villagers' houses on the small bridge, and it is difficult to move forward against the west wind.

4. Withered vines, old trees, crows, small bridges, flowing water, and people are the images in the poem, and these images are combined together to become a bleak, sad, and desolate artistic conception, the image is a combination of specific things, and the artistic conception is the combination of the overall environment and feelings composed of specific things.
