China ancient another outstanding landscape pastoral poet "Shi Fo" Wang Wei, a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, was a scholar in the ninth year of Kaiyuan, and was the champion in his twenties. He is the author of ten volumes of Wang Youcheng's collected works. He is a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, who is as famous as Li Bai and Du Fu. He knows melody and is also a painter.
The poem "Ning Bishi" says: "Every family is sad and gives birth to wild smoke. When will the officials go to heaven? Autumn leaves fall into the palace and orchestral strings are played in the pool. " This poem was written during the Anshi Rebellion to commemorate Lei Haiqing, the son of Li Yuan, who generously sacrificed himself for refusing to play the pipa for An Lushan.
Wang Wei, praised by Su Shi as "painting in poetry and poetry in painting", grew up in an official family. He was an imperial envoy and a senior minister, and his official career was not prosperous, but there were no ups and downs. Later, he lived an official and secluded life in Zhong Nanshan and Wangchuan. He plays the piano, writes poems and sings all day. Until the An Shi Rebellion broke out. After An Lushan proclaimed himself Emperor Yan, Wang Wei was also captured by rebels in Luoyang, and many civil and military officials accepted their positions against the army and were sealed as the national seal. An Lushan asked Wang Wei to accept his original official position, but Wang Wei pretended to be ill and refused, and was imprisoned in Bordet.
One day, An Lushan gave a banquet in Ningbichi and invited officials to play. When Wang Wei saw that his country was invaded, every household raised a sad smoke. I wonder when officials living in the same dynasty can meet their original son of heaven. The locust tree in the deep palace should be covered with fallen leaves, but the pool is still singing and dancing. It is only when I think that my grandfather was also a music official and Lei Haiqing died of noble national integrity that I have the historical trace of this poem.
Speaking of Shi Fo, I think Wang Wei's name is related to Buddha, and his word is "Mo Mo". Isn't Vimalakīrti called a Bodhisattva whose eloquence is equal to that of Todo Loki? He is a key figure in the rise of Mahayana Buddhism. According to Vimalakīrti's classics, Vamos was born in a beautiful country. He was a rich businessman and elder and left the city. He is not only eloquent, compassionate and convenient, but also deeply loved by city residents. Wang Wei's name must be related to Buddhism.
Wang Wei's early poems were full of patriotic enthusiasm, but in his later years, his religious tendency was obvious. At the same time, there are also a lot of praises for the pastoral beauty of mountains and rivers and the praise for ordinary and simple life, either heroic or elegant. "Send Yuan Er An Xi" and "Mountain Holidays Think of Shandong Brothers" have been told by later generations through the ages.
After the Anshi Rebellion was put down by Guo Ziyi, Tang Suzong Hengli regained power, ordered an investigation into the officials who accepted the national seal of Anshi Rebellion at that time, and gave Wang Wei a new official. When Li Yu became prime minister, it was said that Wang Wei finally converted to Buddhism, which was also a happy ending. It can be seen that "The Biography of Wang Wei in the New Tang Dynasty".
China's ancient pastoral poems have a long history and different poetic styles. In addition, Xie Lingyun, Xie Tiao, Chu Guangxi, Meng Haoran and Pei Di are also good at this kind of poetry.
According to the cloud level, all dynasties in China experienced the process from prosperity to decline, from strength to weakness, from governance to chaos, and from prosperity to death. Pay attention to "the trip to the avenue, the world is fair." Poets who mainly write about landscapes and pastoral areas are mostly magnanimous people who are interested in helping the world in their early years, but have empty ambitions but can't display them, and then have no choice but to express their feelings for mountains and rivers. They tend to be virtuous and pay attention to their own spiritual cultivation, so that their articles are full of elegant and natural artistic conception, leaving a well-known masterpiece and eternal artistic light for future generations.
