Abstract

    Although the artistic image in poetry in general holds great significance, it may play an even more prominent role in very short poetry. In addition to its aesthetic function in poetry, the artistic image also carries implicit meanings. The poet presents ideas and points of view in poetic images through language, in a condensed and implicit way. In order to reveal and explore these connotations, research on the artistic image is necessary.
