The Formation,Evolution and Disintegration of Poetry with Artistic Conception —— With Argument that New Poetry Is Not Poetry with Artistic Conception

Beauty of artistic conception gradually came into being and evolvedduring the development of Chinese ancient poetry.The original meaning of artisticconception is the realm of true conception,often seen in Tang poems,drivingfrom beyond presence,and the extended meaning is the state of feelings andcircumstances integrated often seen in Song poems.Non-dramatic songs in Yuanand Ming dynasties began to dim the pursuit for artistic conception but to focuson vulgar delight and humor.The theories of Liang Qichao and Wang Guowei in lateQing Dynasty declared the termination of the theory of classical artisticconception.New poetry,at the beginning of its birth,freely expressed the mindand emotions of modern intellectuals and announced the disintegration of poetrywith artistic conception.The basic tendency of new poetry is the structure ofmodern imagery poetry which,obviously differing from classical poetry withartistic conception,bears the core of showing poet's own conception.Yet beautyof artistic conception should still be carried forward as one of the factorsconstituting the beauty of modern poetry.
