22、estions for the further study.Chapter Two Literature ReviewImagery is a very important concept in poetic theory. Ezra Pound once pointed out that imagery is a collective of rationality and sensibility presented in a flash. The three principles of imagery poetry put forward by Pound in 1912: first, d

23、irectly describe subjective or objective “things”; second, do not use any words that do not contribute to expression; and third, use natural phrases instead of following The rhythm of beats; its principles and the conciseness advocated by classical Chinese poetry require poetic writing to be concise

24、 and clear, and there should be great similarities between the extra modifiers and the rhythm of Chinese poetry. However, due to different cultural backgrounds and the environment created by poetic theory, there are also many differences between Chinese classical poetry and western imagery poetry.2.

25、1 A Review of Previous Related Studies in the westImagism is widely influenced in European and American poetry. It is probably the most important movement of European and American poets in the 20th century. Almost all of Poets contemporary poets and later two generations of poets have come into cont

26、act with the theory and practice of imagery. In 1913 Pound put forward the poetic proposition of imagism: First, deal directly with subjective or objective things; Second, do not use words that are useless to expression; Third, as to rhyme, according to the rhythm of music rather than meters to writ

27、e poetry. Ezra Pound, a Western imaginary, published Chinese poetry translation volume in 1915. This collection of only 15 translated poems by Li Bai and Pound the Lasting Contributions of English Poetry and the Classic Works of English Poetry consider Wang Wei. Pounds poetry triggered the translati

28、on of the British and American poets, learning Chinese classical poetry prolonged upsurge, the late American image poet Amy Lovell invites more than 150 Chinese classical poetry translation, and in 1920 Published Fir-Flower Tablets poetry book. Western impressionist poets feel that ancient Chinese p

29、oems and images are very consistent with the ideas, so we can lead this civilization with thousands of years of history as our own backing.In the article Imagism Poetry published and edited by the British scholar Peter Jones in 1972, the development, characteristics and achievements of Pounds imager

30、y poetry are introduced and explained in detail. The comparative study of German and Italian imagery poetry points out that Pounds poetic theory is based on the re-creation of Chinese classical poetic theories. It also points out that due to different cultural backgrounds, there are differences betw

31、een Chinese classical poetry and Pounds Imagist poetry. The American scholar Earl Miner constructed a cross-cultural comparative poetics system through Comparative Poetics. This theory divides literature into three forms: drama, lyric poetry, and narrative literature. The author Meiner affirmed the

32、equal value of oriental cultural traditions and western cultural traditions with an equal attitude; defined and interpreted Poetics and Comparative Poetics, enriched the theoretical system of poetry comparison between Chinese and Western scholars and proposed Under the background of economic globali

33、zation, the standpoint and method of comparison between Chinese and Western poetics.2. 2 A review of previous related studies at homeIt should be said that many ancient Chinese poems, especially many Tang poems, are mainly based on the use of various images. Such as Liu Changqings Songlingche, Wei Y

Colleagues can see that most of the image poems in the Tang poems

35、are quatrains, and that the law poems are transfixed and structured, and often must be based on images. Wen Yiduo was the first one who truly and purposefully introduced the imagism to China. In an English letter sent to the Tsinghua Literature Society in 1992, he copied and published his six princi

36、ples of imagery and expressed his views. In the 1930s, the introduction of imagery to China was reintroduced into China. Shi Zhecuns Modernism made a great contribution to the widespread dissemination of imagery in China.Mr. Cao Shunqing, President of Sichuan University, in the book Comparative Poet

At the same time, they point out that Pounds Imagist poetry theory is based on the re-creation of Chinese classical poetic theory.2.3 Space for this StudyAccording to Frosts research thesis published in China i

43、n recent years, Frosts research has made great achievements, but there are still some problems and deficiencies. The domestic Frost study clearly has reproducibility. First of all, the research on Frost by domestic scholars mainly focuses on a few of his poems. Although Scholars made gratifying achi

44、evements in the study of Frosts famous poems, they ignored most of Frosts poems (he created a total of 442 poems). Second, from the number of Frost research thesiss published in China, the study of Frost in China is not yet universal. The thesiss on Frost research are much lower than those of other

45、British and American poets such as Dickinson and Wordsworth. Third, the research scope is narrow. The study of the metaphor of Frost, the black poetry of Frost, the paradoxical philosophy, and its sources of influence are either not deep enough or almost untouched. In view of this, the domestic Fros

46、t research needs to be further expanded and deepened.The frequent employment of wind imagery is a distinctive feature in Robert Frosts poetry, but critics both at home and abroad have not yet touched upon this aspect specifically. While there has been random mentioning of wind imagery in critical di

47、scussion about nature themes in Frosts poetry, specific study focusing on his use of wind imagery has not been found yet. Although there are some critics who have mentioned or hinted wind imagery in Frosts poetry, they only treat it as a supplementary part to some relevant studies about Frost, such

48、as the issues of his pastoral style, his deal with natural symbolism, his nature theme, and his New England environment. Few people study the symbolic meaning of Frosts various images accurately and in detail.Chapter Three Research Design3.1 Research Question What does Frost want to express by using

49、 wind?3.1.1 Sub-questionsI. What are the types of wind in Frosts poems?II. What does the wind in Frosts poems symbolize?III. What writing techniques does Frost use to describe the wind?3.2 Research SubjectThe object of this thesis is the wind image in Frosts poetry. By studying the poetry of Frosts

50、poetry, which focuses on the image of the wind, he studied the significance of the image of the wind in Frosts poetry. Combining with the characteristics of Frosts writing, he further explored Frosts writing style.3.3 MethodsFirst of all, this paper adopts the imagery analysis of Frosts poetry about

51、 the wind. The materials chosen for this article are Robert Frosts poems published in the United States. We selected poems about the wind and analyzed and summarized each of them to classify them to explore the significance of the image of the wind in Robert Frosts poetry. Then according to the char

52、acteristics of Roberts living environment, combined with his life experience, he explored the thoughts and sentiments he wanted to express.Chapter Four Date Analysis and Discussion4.1 Analysis of Major Works about Wind4.1.1 SnowRobert Frost described the wind in his poem Snow.“The three stood listen

53、ing to a fresh access Of wind that caught against the house a moment, gulped snow, and then blew free againthe Coles”Some critics have found it difficult to see the constant humor in Frost; other critics, emphasizing the tragic side of his work, have regretted the flickering wit, the capricious asid

54、es, the sheer fancifulness. Yet Frost is most profound when he is most playful; no other poet has been so successful in combining an outer lightness and an inner gravity. The Code is a fine example of extremes: comedy and near-tragedy; a frivolous, even farcical, episode that reveals a deep philosop

55、hy. It is centered, like all of Frosts poems, in experience and it dramatizes what every countryman knows: a good hired man will let you tell him what to do and when to do it.Frost empowers peoples language ability with the wind in poetry，vividly portrayed the image of the wind, and presented it to

56、the reader.4.1.2 To the Thawing WindIn this poem, Robert Frost describes the spring breeze.“Come with rain. O loud Southwester!Bring the singer, bring the nester;Give the buried flower a dream;make the settled snowbank steam;Find the brown beneath the white;But whateer you do tonight,bath my window,

57、 make it flow,Melt it as the ice will go;Melt the glass and leave the sticksLike a hermits crucifix;Burst into my narrow stall;Swing the picture on the wall;Run the rattling pages oer;Scatter poems on the floor;Turn the poet out of door.”Robert Frosts poem is a description of the time when spring ca

58、me, so it can be seen as a natural poem. Of course, the poet also describes the poets mood for spring.There are 15 sentences in this poem, divided into three parts, each with five sentences. The first part is to hope that the southwest wind, which symbolizes the arrival of spring, will change in nature as the rain drops. The spring breeze allowed the birds to sing again. The bees also began to build a new nest. They were thawed on the frozen bank of ice and snow. The soil under the snow began to show brown soil, and the flowers began to bloom
