Function Development of Su Shi's Proposition of"Conforming to Shapes of Objects"
"Conforming to shapes of objects"in Su Shi's prose firstly referred to the characteristic of water chang-ing its form in response to changes in the external environment and later played the theoretical function of conducting oneself and composing literary works."Conforming to shapes of objects"not only integrated the thoughts of Taoism and Buddhism,but also developed Tao Yuanming's life attitude and Xie He's related painting theory.At the same time,it was also the theoretical interaction with personal life experience.In Su Shi's writing process,that proposition gradually strengthened its function of generalization and control.With the classicization of this proposition,its significance in the field of literary theory,which had both the function of generalization and interpretation and the function of guiding cre-ative practice,had become increasingly prominent.On the one hand,"conforming to shapes of objects"continued to in-spire the proposal of relevant concepts and propositions and the creation of texts,and on the other hand,it became an evaluation standard for theory and creation as a style and form.
