试论王维辋川诗集中负空间的认识论及 “诗中有画"

Through a close reading of Wang Wei's Wangchuan poems and an analysis of the interplay between poetry and painting，this paper seeks to understand how the poet expressed the concept of “emptiness”in his landscape poetry，which received influence from his painting practice and Buddhist training. In the analysis of the poems， special attention is paid to the imagery of water and clouds，which are often rendered as negative space in paintings. With the help of the term “negative space”，this paper tries to better interpret classical poetry and painting coherently，and to find a paradigm of meaning production shared by landscape poetry and painting from a theoretical perspective. Meanwhile，the paper also shows how the artistic production of the iconic poet-painter Wang Wei inspired and shaped the tradition of literati painting. In the cross-media comparison，we further understand the artistic，literary，and intellectual commentary that“there is painting in poetry and poetry in painting”in the premodern Chinese tradition.
