Wang Wei, Mozi, was a famous poet and painter in the Tang Dynasty. Because they believe in Buddhism, they are called "Shi Fo". Like Bai Juyi, Wang Wei is famous as a teenager and versatile. According to historical records, Wang Wei, a teenager, was highly respected for his amazing poems. He is proficient in temperament, calligraphy and seal cutting.
His poems were famous at an early age. The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty once recorded that fame and fortune flourished between Kaiyuan and Tianbao, nobles and heroes welcomed them in vain, and kings Ning and Xue were teachers and friends. At that time, Wang Wei's poems were very popular with the princes and grandchildren.
In Wang Wei's poems, there are paintings. Wang Wei writes poems and is good at borrowing scenery to express his feelings. The scenery in his poems is vivid and patchy. Reading his poems will make us feel immersive and can be understood without words.
Back to the forty-eighth session of a dream of red mansions, Xiangling asked Daiyu about poetry. The poem that Daiyu asked Xiangling to read is the complete works of Wang Moshu. Daiyu told Xiangling that she would memorize more than 100 poems and carefully figure out their meanings, which would have unexpected effects. It can be seen that Sister Lin, who is intelligent and versatile, also likes Wang Wei's poems very much, because his poems are unique and aesthetic, and there is no sense of obscurity.
Wang Wei was ordered to send an envoy to the frontier fortress. He wrote the scenery along the way in his poems, which has a desolate and tragic beauty. The phrase "geese enter the lake" vividly describes the poet's inner anger and melancholy by means of metaphor. The poet compares himself to a wild grass that fluctuates with the wind, and belongs to the wild goose in the Hu people's situation, and euphemistically writes the homesickness of a wanderer.
The desert is lonely and straight, and the long river falls in yen, which can be described as a famous sentence throughout the ages. Cao Xueqin used Xiangling's evaluation to express the superb artistic realm of Wang Wei's poems.
Let's look at Xiangling's evaluation of Wang Wei's poems. Xiangling studied hard and realized a truth by herself, which was recognized by Daiyu. Xiangling thinks that the benefits of poetry are of unspeakable significance. Think about it carefully, it is realistic. Even if it seems unreasonable, it is reasonable to think about it.
For example,' how can I smoke straight when the desert is lonely? The sun is naturally round when the long river sets the yen. It looks tacky to use a circle, but it just looks unreasonable. But close the book and think about it carefully, but I can't find a more suitable word than these two words.
Another poem by Wang Wei:' The rivers and lakes are white at sunset, and the sky is blue when the tide comes'. The words' white and green' seem unreasonable, but when you think about it, you must fully describe it, which carries weight in your mouth and has a long aftertaste.
And "the sunset lingers at the ferry, and the smoke rises at midnight" is really difficult for Wang Wei Where did the inspiration come from? Xiangling said here, touching the scene. She said that she would go to Beijing that year and dock her boat on the shore at night. The shore was empty except for a few lonely trees. I don't know who is cooking in the distance, and the smoke in the kitchen is rising. The color turned out to be turquoise, and the clouds were straight. When Xiangling read this poem, it seemed that she had gone back to the past.
There are poems in Wang Wei's paintings. Wang Wei is not only gifted in literature, but also an excellent painter. His paintings are exquisite. Qian Zhongshu once praised him as "the first person in the painting world in the prosperous Tang Dynasty", which shows his profound painting attainments.
Wang Wei believes in Buddhism and often fasts and recites Buddha. In his forties, he built a villa for himself in Lantian County, southeast of Chang 'an, and lived a semi-official and semi-secluded life. In his poem "My Letter to Pei Di from My Cabin in Wangchuan", he wrote about his seclusion. In the mountains far away from the world, Wang Wei found the home of his soul. This poem is quite in the style of Tao Yuanming.
The mountain is cold and blue now, and the autumn water has flowed for a day. At the door of my thatched cottage, leaning on my cane, I listened to the cicadas singing in the evening breeze.
Sunset lingers at the ferry, and the smoke from supper rises from the house. Oh, when will I make a wish to the great hermit again and sing a wild poem under five willows? .
Together with Meng Haoran, Wang Wei is called an idyllic poet. His poems and paintings all come from nature. The landscape in his paintings is full of charm, the colors and images of mountains are vivid, flowers and trees are in front of him, and the flowing spring seems to hear the gurgling sound. Appreciating his landscape paintings is like reading an exquisite poem, which is distinct and vivid.
In fact, Wang Wei's poems and paintings are perfectly integrated, reaching an integrated state. His poems are picturesque and poetic. Whether it is "moonlight in the pine forest, crystal stone in the stream", "the stream sings on the winding rock, and the sun is reconciled by the pines" or "the rapids hum on the piled rocks, but the light becomes dim in the dense pine trees", they all show us a wonderful picture.
