Meng Haoran was the first person of the pastoral poetry school in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the forerunner of "Xing Xiang" creation. Let me bring you Meng Haoran's influence on later generations. Welcome to read!
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty
Chen Yi-yi: "Li, Du and Wang Wei all admired Meng Haoran. Obviously, apart from personality, it is impossible for them not to be inspired and influenced by this predecessor poet, and it is impossible not to show due respect for his achievements. " Li Bai and Wang Wei are friends of Meng Haoran, and it is certain that poetry sings and influences each other. Whether Du Fu and Meng Haoran have contact or not has not been proved. However, it is obvious that Du Fu was influenced by Meng Haoran. Their thoughts of advocating Confucianism and pursuing official advancement are the same. Du Fu especially admired Meng Haoran's poems. His poem Yueyang Tower was influenced by Meng Haoran's poem Dongting Lake, and some of his quatrains were quite noble. The influence on Li Bai can be summed up in four aspects: first, in the character of being independent of dignitaries as their agents. Meng Haoran hated power traitors and spurned those who followed suit. I would rather "brush my clothes and go away, and I will step forward and die" than stand in the dirt. This kind of character is in the same strain as Li Bai's behavior of making friends with princes and refusing to bow down and serve the powerful. Second, in the spirit of Ren Xia. Ren Xia spirit expressed in Meng Haoran's poems, such as Sending Zhu Da to Qin, Sending Wu Xuan to the Army and Giving Ma Si, can be found everywhere in Li Bai's poems. Third, in the poetic style. Meng Haoran's poems often have his own image, and the diction often highlights the theme. "I", "Yu" and "Yu" are not uncommon, such as "I came as yesterday", "I forgot my plane when I gave", "I left home for a long time" and "I was floating in the sea" and so on. Li Bai's poems are even more so, with strong personality and strong subjective color of self-expression, which is blue compared with Meng Haoran. Such as "the way is broad like the blue sky, but no way out before my eye", "Taibai speaks to me, opens the sky for me", "The wind blows my heart and hangs Xianyang trees in the west", and so on, there are me everywhere. Fourth, in the poetic style. Meng Haoran is good at five-character poems and seven-character poems, which is exactly Li Bai's strength. Mr. An Qi said in Biography of Li Bai that this was the result of Meng Haoran's guidance. In the creation of five-character metrical poems, Meng Haoran has the characteristics of "taking ancient poems as metrical poems", while Li Bai is "various". Yan Yu said in Cang Lang Shi Hua: "There is something wrong with the rhyme, and the princes in the prosperous Tang Dynasty have this style. For example, Meng Haoran's poem "Looking at the Southeast ..." and "The Water Country is Boundless" and "this night to the west of the river-brim" are too white, all of which are in good order, with a sonorous rhyme and no duality in eight sentences. "
Meng Haoran's influence is also reflected in the poetry creation of Xiangyang poets. After Meng Haoran, many landscape poets appeared in Xiangyang. There are Zhang Ji, the author of a night-mooring near maple bridge, Zhu Fang, a famous scholar who "has a blue mind, build house sleeps in the clouds, and catches water and firewood", Bao Fang, who is honest and good at recruiting talents, and Xi Yu, who is praised by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty as "the first poet and the crown of the author". They are all poets bred by Xiangyang landscape. Reading their landscape poems, we can clearly feel Meng Haoran's influence.
Late Tang
The acceptance and dissemination of Meng Haoran by the literati in the late Tang Dynasty turned to the acceptance and dissemination of his noble and poor image. Their acceptance and dissemination of Meng Haoran's poor image of a poor scholar are mostly reflected in some scattered poems. Mainly some late Tang poets represented by Pi Rixiu.
Song Dynasty
From the time of Renzong in the early Northern Song Dynasty to the time after the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, people in the Song Dynasty used Meng Haoran's poems for a long time in the past 3 years, or learned Meng Haoran's poems in narrative creation. Su Shi, the leader of literary circles in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, had a positive response to Meng Haoran's poems and a telepathic chorus from generation to generation. After Su Shi, among the "Four Bachelor of Su Men", Huang Tingjian, the boss, is the most active and conscious in learning Meng Haoran's poems. You Mao, Lu You, Yang Wanli and Fan Chengda, who are known as the "Four Poets of Zhongxing", are the representatives of the highest achievements in the Southern Song Dynasty. These four great poets are the representatives of the highest achievements of poetry in the Southern Song Dynasty. They just learned the poetic style, poetic context and poetic style of Meng Haoran, an outstanding poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and there was a climax among them. All four of them have been running around in their careers for a long time. After being frustrated, they all live happily in the mountains and rivers and wander in the countryside in the south of the Yangtze River. The works of the four of them who are frustrated and idle are all influenced by Meng Haoran's poems to varying degrees. Among the four people, especially Yang Wanli and Lu You, they not only learn Meng Haoran's poems, but also imitate Meng Haoran in every move and manner.

Meng Haoran (689-74), born in Mengshan, Xiangyang, Xiangzhou (now Xiangyang, Hubei), was a famous pastoral poet in the Tang Dynasty, known as "Meng Xiangyang" in the world. Because he has never been an official, he is also called "Monsanto".
Meng Haoran was born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In his early years, he was ambitious to use the world. After his career was difficult and painful, he was able to respect himself, not to be vulgar, and to cultivate and live in seclusion for life. Once lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain. At the age of 4, I traveled to Chang' an, and I should be promoted by Jinshi. He once wrote poems in the Imperial College, named Gong Qing, and put aside his pen for it. In the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737), Zhang Jiuling became a shogunate and later lived in seclusion. Most of Meng's poems are short stories in five words, mostly about landscapes, pastoral and seclusion, as well as the mood of traveling and serving. Although it is not without cynicism, it is more about the poet's self-expression.
Meng Haoran's poems have unique artistic attainments. Later generations called Meng Haoran and Wang Wei, another landscape poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, "Wang Meng", and there are three volumes of Meng Haoran's Collection handed down from generation to generation.
