The Brightness of Being: A Theory of Poetic Attribute on Wang Guowei's “Theory of Realm”

by Liu Fengjie

Description

Wang Guowei’s Renjian Cihua has been published for 110 years, and since then “realms” (or conceptual scenes), which contains “Theory of World” “Theory of Image” “Theory of Idea” “Theory of Spiritual Level” “Theory of Feeling” “Theory of Inner Beauty”, has resulted in great controversy. This book generally explains the meaning of Wang Guowei’s “realms”, and advocates the theory of “the Brightness of Being”. Be mindful that “realms” refers to a poet’s personality, bosom, insight and vision; while “conceptual scenes” means the relevant environment, the execution of the relationship between words and meaning, and to chase after the long-lasting meaningfulness of poetic composition. “Realm” is the base, the source poetry; “conceptual scenes” is the expression, the delivery of poetry. “Theory of Realm” was influenced by western ideology yet it was also rooted deeply in the tradition of Chinese poetry. The author dedicated to explain such a complex idea with easy-understanding language, hoping that it will benefit readers the most. The author invites you to walk to the saints, walk to the classics.
