Later generations praised him as "Shi Fo". Reading his poems is like bathing in the spring breeze and listening to the sound of spring.
He is the most "Buddha" poet Wang Wei in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Throughout his life, he traveled mountains and rivers and learned Buddhism and Taoism. Many of his poems are far from the world and full of Zen. The artistic conception of mountains and rivers has gone beyond the ordinary aesthetic significance and entered a transcendental religious realm.
"Being led by distant trees, walking towards the sunset that shines on distant towns", "Moreover, after one night in Shan Yu, hundreds of silky waterfalls came from every peak", and "When the sun sets, the rivers and lakes are white and the tides are monstrous" are all famous sayings throughout the ages. Let's share a few quiet and beautiful poems by Wang Wei:
Chai Lu
No one can be seen in the silent valley, only the voice is heard. The shadow of the sunset shone into the depths of the forest, and the scenery on the moss was pleasant. There was no one in the silent valley, only people's voices were heard. The afterglow of the sunset reflected into the depths of the forest and shone on the moss in the dark.
This poem depicts the quiet scenery of empty mountains and deep forests near Chai Lu in the evening. Put pen to paper to write about the lonely place of the empty mountain, and then smell it with Dan, attracting people's voices. The more empty the valley, the more empty it is; After human language, the more empty it is. It depicts the silence and quietness unique to the language and oblique glow of the empty valley people, which is intriguing.
An autumn night in the mountains.
The empty mountains are bathed in a new rain, and feel the early autumn at night. The bright moon shed clear light from the cracks and cleared the fountain on the rocks. The bamboo forest is sonorous, the washerwoman returns, and the lotus leaves are swaying to get on the canoe. Spring spring might as well give it a rest, and the autumn sun can stay on the hills for a long time. The description of the scenery in the whole poem is meticulous and touching, which perfectly combines the cool autumn after rain, the light of the bright moon among pine trees, the sound of clear spring on the stone, the laughter of happy women returning to the bamboo forest and the dynamic harmony of fishing boats crossing the lotus, giving people a rich and fresh feeling. It is like a fresh and beautiful landscape painting, but also like a quiet and beautiful lyric music, with a quiet and far-reaching feeling.
Birdsong stream
People are idle, osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and empty.
When the moon comes out, the birds are startled, and the sound enters the spring stream. In the silent valley, only the sweet-scented osmanthus in spring falls silently, and in the silent night, Chunshan is empty.
The moon rises, and the moonlight shines on the earth, which alarms the birds living in the mountains and sings in the spring stream from time to time.
Flowers bloom and fall, all belong to the sound of nature. Only when the heart is really quiet and relaxed, and the obsession with worldly distractions is put down, can the personal spirit be promoted to the realm of "emptiness". We look at the background at that time, which is "late at night". Obviously, the poet can't see the scenery of osmanthus falling, but because of the "quiet night" and the "meditation" of the people watching the scenery, he still feels the process of osmanthus falling from the branches and falling to the ground.
And we seem to have entered the scenic spot of "fragrant forest and flowers and rain". The "Spring Mountain" here has left us a blank of endless imagination. Because it is a "spring mountain", you can imagine the noisy pictures during the day: beautiful spring, birds and flowers, laughter and laughter. At this time, the night is still, the tourists leave, the noise of the day disappears, and the mountains are idle. Quiet places are more valuable.
Finally, only when his mood is natural, quiet and peaceful can he capture scenes that others can't feel. So is modern society. In today's rapid development, people are too anxious and irritable.
