Abstract
Different from general arguments mainly concerning the expression of Poetics in Shi Jing. This article is mainly concerned with "Xing Yi" (Affective Image's inner motif) of the authors' internality, which is also in the scope of mei shi. It is not only dynamic but also uncertain. It has not been conceptualized yet and is in an unattended state. Therefore, in this way it generates infinite possibilities, which thence constitute the constitution and genesis of poetics. This paper expounds four connotations on "Xing" in mei shi, and the generative mechanism of genetic poetics. "Xing Yi" encounters emotional experience in unattended mei shi. Xing of generation is thus initiated, the genetic mechanism of which is actually driven by a kind of energy of mei shi that the authors do not even realize. On this basis, the expressive program has been made into Xing-style poetry. Since creative consciousness is no longer stipulated as the necessary condition for the formation of poetry, mei shi becomes the possibility and "effect" of poetry. Existence presented by Xing of generation is often an unnoticed feeling which thereby reveals "the existing forgotten" of literature.
