What Is"Poetic Content"?—Analyzing Fei Ming's Ideas of New Poetry in the Theory of Jakobson's Metaphor and Metonymy
"Poetic content"is the core of new poetry Fei Ming considered.By applying Jakobson's theory of metaphor and metonymy,we can know"poetic content"means letting metaphor dominate the content of poem to form the ambiguity of the language and the imagery of poem to get poetic quality.Fei Ming also reflects on the tradition of classical poetry,and reckons the core of classical poetry is"poetic language".Poetic language refers to the rules and forms of classical poetry.In Fei Ming's opin-ion,classical poetry's content is prose,which means the content of classical poetry is dominated by me-tonymy.It is logical and coherent,and can be rewritten into prose.In Fei Ming's lecture notes of new poetry,he widely implements this opinion into his new poetry criticisms.
