Abstract
The nature poetry written by English Romantic poet William Wordsworth (1770 AD-1850 AD) is a milestone in English literary history. Its inbuilt aesthetics transcended English poetics and reached the realm of Yijing, which is regarded as the highest achievement in Chinese poetics for nature poetry. In this perspective, poems written by TANG Dynasty poet WANG Wei (王维) can be well compared. Though they share similarities in aesthetical perception, the differences cannot be neglected: One difference is the contrast of emptiness and substantiality; the other lies in clarity and vagueness. This mutual illumination will not only build a channel in comparative literature and enhance cultural communication, more importantly, it also discovers the potential values of the two: First, Wordsworth’s unique aesthetical awareness is forwarded. Second, it helps to promote the value of ancient Chinese poetic theory.
