七月诗派论诗歌创作的“形象力”

The Views of the July School of Poetry on the“Image Power”of Poetic Creation

诗歌形象与诗歌创作关系紧密。在抗战时期,为了克服抗战诗歌为现实斗争服务过程中存在的空泛、粗陋、直白倾向,诗歌创作的“形象化”理论被提出。但七月派诗人认为用“形象化”这服“药”治疗抗战诗歌“概念化”的“病”并不对症,诗歌创作需要的是“形象力”而不是“形象化”。七月诗派在诗论中对朱光潜和艾青的观点进行了辨析,这进一步突出了七月诗派关于诗歌创作形象力理论认识的深刻性。

Poetic image and poetic creation are closely related.During the War of Chinese People’s Resistance against Japanese Aggression,the theory of poetic imagery was proposed as a way to counter the vagueness,crudeness and bluntness of some anti-Japanese poetries.However,in the eyes of many poets of the July School,the prescription of poetic imagery as a“remedy”was inadequate to address the problems facing poetic creations featuring anti-Japanese themes.They nonetheless argued that what was needed more was“image power”instead of“poetic imagery”.Furthermore,the July School of Poetry also debated on and distinguished between Zhu Guangqian’s poetic views and those of Ai Qing,which further highlighted the profoundness of the July School’s theoretical understanding of the image power of poetic creation.
