On the Theme, Artistic Conception and Artistic Conception of Poetry

No matter poetry or prose, the theme comes first. Poems and essays without themes, no matter how gorgeous they are to read and beautiful they are to sing, are just a bunch of extinct language, which is meaningless.

First, talk about the theme.

Theme, also known as theme idea, is a main thread that runs through poetry and a main axis that makes all notes jump up and down around it. All images should revolve around this invisible main line, which can be transformed into so-called artistic conception, thus moving readers and attracting people to sing.

Poetry is an art of visualization, and image is the most basic element of poetry. Image itself exists objectively, but different people will always have different eyes when extracting it, and then form different emotional colors, so poetry is a visual and emotional art.

The opposite of image is concept, image is jumping and concept is solidified; Images are unpredictable and concepts cannot be changed. Therefore, image is the living soul of poetry, and concept is the root of poetry rigidity. To make poetry alive, we need more images and less concepts.

How to make the images we can extract come alive and form a certain theme? This is the first step we will do today:

Second, the concept and style

Different people will have different views on the same thing, and then form different styles, and the level of style directly affects the success or failure of the work, resulting in so-called positive energy and negative energy, which is a question of how to conceive.

Suppose bees are the favorite of all kinds of artists and the theme of singing. People standing in different positions will form different styles and express different themes. For example:

No matter the flat land or the top of the mountain, infinite scenery is occupied.

After picking flowers into honey, I don't know who hard work is sweet to.

Who works hard for whom? This is The Bee written by Luo Yin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. He lamented that bees occupied all the scenery in front, but regretted who he worked for, showing the poet's compassion.

Bite fat and steal powder and laugh at bees, only for micro-organisms to gather food.

After reading "Honey" by Cheng Wuji, how can it smell sweet to the bottom of the flower?

This is a book called Bees that I read in my early years. I don't know the source, but the style is not as good as the last one. It makes a lot of satire and ridicule on bees, which is a bit like a wise man laughing at a fool.

The movie Jiang Jie has a lyric:

Bees brew a hundred flowers of honey, just for the sweetness of the world.

Just for the sake of sweetness, the style is completely different, which embodies the lofty ideal of revolutionaries serving the people. It is true that poets are not politicians, but whether they laugh at or sympathize with workers or praise them, it is obvious that a person's inner nature is judged by virtue.

Third, the creation of realm and environment.

Wang Guowei, a beginner at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, wrote "Human Thorns", which is probably the most important poetic aesthetic work in history. He believes that poetry is based on realm, "when there is realm, it has its own system and its own famous sentences"; "There is a creative environment and a writing environment. This ideal and reality are separate, but it is difficult to distinguish. Because the environment created by great poets must conform to nature, the environment written must be adjacent to the ideal, so it is also. "

He also said that there are two kinds of realms, one is "the realm with me" and the other is "the realm without me". The so-called realm of self is that the author has obvious personal self-color in the scenery described and the artistic conception created. For example, "Tears ask flowers for silence, redder than swings", smiling faces smile at flowers, tears ask flowers will cry! The other is "the realm without me", that is, in the things and scenery described, you can't tell which is the scenery and which is the author, that is, you completely integrate yourself into the realm. For example, it is hard to say whether the author is writing scenery or expressing emotion, such as "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" and "the cold wave starts and Bai Niao falls leisurely". Because the author completely integrates all emotions into nature, it is the highest and most superb method to create an environment.

Of course, we are only amateurs, and there is still a long way to go, but if we want to go further, we must first learn to appreciate and draw nutrition from the poems of our predecessors for our use. At the same time, Wang Guowei's "Words on Earth" should be a compulsory course.

I got fifteen methods today, and I think it's ok. Please give me some valuable suggestions:

Five laws of early winter in rural areas

Chickens crow on the path, and there is decadence in the wilderness.

Baixian Temple, visitors go out of the mountain gate.

Clouds are floating in the mountains, and water is flowing.

Wandering in desolate places, singing the moon.
