Modes of Fusion Between"Feeling"and"Scene"in Chinese and Western Poetics
The integration of"feeling"(internal sentiments)and"scene"(external scenes)is an important topic of Chinese classical poetics.However,there are also many noteworthy discussions on the fusion of internal sentiments and external scenes in Western poet-ics,especially in romantic poetics.In recent years,various domestic scholars have tried to identify the modes of poetic perception re-sponsible for the fusion between feelings and scenes in Chinese classical poetics,but research from the perspective of comparative poetics is still rather rare.This paper,therefore,attempts to explore the modes of fusion between feelings and scene from the perspective of com-parative poetics.It is proposed that the integration of feelings and scenes in Chinese and Western poetics can be classified into three modes,namely,the responsive mode,the projective mode and the interactive mode.Obvious similarities can be observed between Chi-nese and Western poetics in each mode,but there are also significant differences.
