O knihe

CHINESE VISUAL POETRY: THE PATH OF A PICTURESQUE LITERATURE explores historically significant presentations of Chinese visual poetry and the relationship between poetic quality and image, as they interact with literary phenomena in various visual representations. In Chinese literary history,visual poetry has been seen in all eras, from the beginning of Chinese pictograms,such as jiaguwen (oracle bone inscription) through contemporary post-modernist literature and other art forms. Although, a micro-aesthetic approach has been adopted to examine the existence and performance of word-image interaction in the earliest forms of Chinese characters, Chinese visual poetry, as a special literary genre, was marginalized by mainstream literature, and has been presented mainly in "zati" and "wanzi", calligraphy, as well as in other forms of word-image interactions. "Zati", which refers to various styles of off-the-main-stream literature, can simply be called other genres in this context. The "wan" in wanzi means "play" and "wanzi" means "word play". A deceptive lack of serious treatment of written language, has, intentionally or unintentionally, brought literature to a new depth as well as into divergent dimensions never before achieved in traditional Chinese literary forms. Wanzi has contributed much to the development of marginal literature and art by exploring the interactions between poetic quality and image in poetic lines and larger forms. Chinese calligraphy earns a place here due to the fact that calligraphy is a visual art form that reveals the relationship between the brushed characters and the images suggested as a result of ink implication on both space and time. And, because it mixes verbal and visual significance in a subtle and unique artistic way, calligraphy is considered the highest form of Chinese visual poetry. Finally, there are counterparts to Western visual and concrete poetry found in many modern and post-modern Chinese literary and art forms such as "new poetry," avant-garde art, new stage art, and design, just to name a few.
