“诗言志”是古典诗歌理论的奠基之石,考察这个命题,就会发现它是从作为文学接受理论的“诗以言志”发展而来。“诗言志”首先是一个文学接受理论,其次是文学创作理论。“诗”的概念也经历了文献《诗》向文体诗的转换。 “Shi Yan Zhi Zhi” is the foundationstone of classical poetic theory. Examining this proposition, we can find it evolved from the “poetic rhetoric” which is the literary acceptance theory. “Shi Yan Zhi” is first of all a theory of literature acceptance, followed by literary creation theory. The concept of “poem” has also undergone the transformation of the literary poem into stylistic poem.
