Zhu Guangqian valued poetry: “To develop a pure literary taste, it is best to start with poetry. If you can appreciate poetry, you will naturally be able to appreciate novels, dramas and other literary genres. "

In Zhu Guangqian's view, poetry is a world dominated by the poet's heart, and it is another realm of life created by him. This is the "realm of poetry", which is the artistic essence of poetry.

Zhu Guangqian's view on the realm of poetry is called the "poetry realm theory". This "poetry realm theory" involves two concepts, one is "interest" and the other is "imagery". "Taste" is the basis for self-feeling and subjective preference in creation to examine the world; and the carrier of emotions is "imagery".
