清中叶著名诗人张问陶，又是一位深有造诣的诗论家。其诗论体系，以强调诗人“自我”为核心、根本以至灵魂。他认为诗人“自我”的“性灵”、“性情”、“血性”、“灵光”，乃诗歌审美本体之内质。此外，他论及诗歌的创作、功能、继承、风格、鉴赏、批评诸方面时，无一不和诗人“自我”联系起来进行阐释。再者，他的诗论体系又是开放性的系统，它上通于天，追求“天人合一”；又根扎于地，特别关注现实人生。 Zhang Wen Tao, a famous poet in the mid-Qing Dynasty, is also a poetic expert with profound accomplishments. His poetic system focuses on the poet “self” as the core, as well as the soul. He believes that the poet’s “nature”, “temperament”, “bloody” and “spiritual light” of “self” are the inner qualities of the poet’s aesthetic body. In addition, when he discusses the creation, function, inheritance, style, appreciation and criticism of poetry, he expounds the connection with the poet’s “self”. Moreover, his poetic system is an open system, which is based on heaven and pursues “harmony between man and nature”. He is also rooted in the earth and paid special attention to real life.
