Abstract

Image is the intermediary between language and emotion. Image is a very important poetic category in both Chinese and Western literary theories. The categories of “aspirations and emotion”, “imagery” and “artistic conception” in Chinese literary theory and the Impressionism and Imagism in Western literary theory are all for expressing and understanding the natural or supernatural image. There are similarities and connection between the concept of image in Chinese poetics and that of Western poetics, as well as obvious differences. Furthermore, the image views of Chinese and Western poetics also have the relations of communication, dialogue and mutual influence. Image is a bridge that forms the dialogue between Chinese and Western poetics and connects Eastern and Western cultures.
