Poetist lyricism

Li Shaojun

In the "Xinhua Dictionary" and "Modern Chinese Dictionary", in the interpretation of "poetry", they are particularly emphasized: a lyrical genre.

So, what is lyrical? The interpretation of "Modern Chinese Dictionary" is: "expressing emotions", and further explanation is: expressing emotions, expressing emotions, referring to a formal literary activity that organizes in formal words and symbolizes personal emotions. The narrative is relatively subjective, personalized, and poetic. As a special literary style, lyric mainly reflects the spiritual appearance of social life, and through the consciousness of the aesthetic transformation of reality, to achieve the freedom of the soul, to achieve the unity of personality and social, emotional release, emotional structure, aesthetic creation, Essence

Many modern poets particularly oppose poetry emphasizing "lyricism". They emphasize the narrative of poetry and believe that this is an important feature of modern poetry than classical poetry, because classical poetry is lyrical poetry. In Europe and the United States, there are long conclusions. For example, Rilke's "poetry is experience". Eliot proposed that poetry should "escape emotion" and believe that poetry should restrain emotions and suppress emotions, so as to distinguish "poetry is emotion".

In my opinion, there is no problem with lyricism in poetry. It can even be said that poetry is the text of emotion, or the emotion of text, just like art is the formalization of emotions, or formal emotions. Because the difference between humans and animals is that people use text to save emotions and experiences in words, record life and history, and accumulate knowledge and ideas.

If further extension, human emotions, behaviors, and practice are rising through words into spirit, and spirit can be forever because of text. From this perspective, like the law of constant material conservation, the law of spiritual conservation is also established.

Ancient and modern poets recognize "love" is the basic element of poetry. The view of "Poetry and Fate" has existed in ancient times, Qu Yuan's "Nine Chapter": "Angry with lyric"; Zhong Yan's "Poetry Preface": "The animals of qi, moving things, so swaying sex, shaking the dances and chanting" ; Liu Ye's "Wen Xin Diao Dragon": "People are seven emotions, should be thoughtful. Sensing things, but not nature"; Meng Qi in the Tang Dynasty "poet, emotional in the middle and saying"; Yan Yu "Canglang" Canglang "Canglang Poetry: "Poet, chanting love also"; Wang Fu's "Poems Guang Zhuan": "The heart of gentleman, sympathy with heaven and earth, sympathy with poultry, fish, birds and wood, and sympathy with women and villains ... It has the affection, and it is made of tailoring.

In modern poets, "poetry is lyrical art" is almost conclusive. Guo Moruo said: "The essence of poetry is lyrical"; Kang Baiqing: "The characteristics of poetry", "Poetry is the literature of the Lord"; Yu Dafu: "The essence of poetry is all emotion"; "It is the duty of poetry"; Li Changzhi: "The essence of poetry must be emotion"; Mu Mutian: "lyrical poems are the basic of all poetry"; Creation Actors Zheng Boqi even claims: "The content of poetry is emotion, burning, burning, burning The emotion ".

Lu Zhenghui believes that Chinese classical poetry has the phenomenon of the essence of emotions, and "love" is the only true life. Scholar Li Zehou proposes the concept of "love body", which means that love is between desire and theory, which is precisely a proof of human beings. Li Zehou believes that animals are also emotional and desire, but people are rational. They can decompose, control, organize and promote it, or save, transform, sublimate and transcend it. If it records, performance, storage, or induction in some form, it will rise into literature and art. Therefore, Li Zehou defines the art: "Art is a sense of affection." Art is to use emotionalization in some form to make it, preserve, and spread. This is the origin of art.

Art is actually "the form of emotion", or "formal emotions", and poetry is the best and most sophisticated emotional way.

Rilk's "Poetry is experience" said that in the contemporary poetry of Chinese contemporary poetry, some people even oppose "poetry is emotion". In fact, all the experience that can be remembered is emotional experience. Without emotional memory, just without emotion If you pass the eyes, it is impossible to become an experience engraved in your heart.

Eliot's "emotional escape" also has a great influence. Eliot knows that modern people are obsessed with individualism and resist and avoid emotions. Therefore, poetry should suppress emotions rather than indulgence, emphasizing objectivity and non -personalization. In fact, people's indifference and self -depression are precisely an emotional reaction, just the depth of the degree, and it is a way of emotion in itself.

How to understand the word "lyric"? Love, of course, refers to emotion. So, what does "express" mean?

Mr. Chen Shizhen's research, expressing the meaning of weaving and making, can be understood as form, skills, craftsmanship, lyrical, is the planning, design and construction of emotion. As far as poetry is concerned, of course, it means to express emotions and express emotions in the form of language.

Wang Dewei said: The word "expressing" love not only has the meaning of expressing and dissolving, but also can be trained with the traditional word "柕", so it brings out the meaning of weaving and synthesis. The latter is considered to refer to the skill of poetry.

Kong Yingda's "Mao Shi and Justice" can be said to be further explained to this issue, "there is a word of words, not aspiration, which is the emotion;Alas, or the color is beautiful and thin, or the text is evil and good, but the good is good. Take the ballad of the other.Of".Weaving is a level of skill. For poetry, it is the problem of rhetoric, and the form of form.Therefore, in poetry writing, emotional and rhetoric are indispensable. This is the meaning of lyric.In front of love, poetry must be "feeling out, touching the scenery", but only that is not enough. Poetry still requires skills. Poetry is a rhetoric.Poetry is the art of language.

"Rhetoricism", once again explaining that the two are indispensable.
