Wang Wei (Tang)
From a distance, the mountains are high and the clouds are light, and the colors are bright. When you look closer, you can only hear the sound of water, but there is no sound.
Spring has passed, but there are still many flowers and flowers. People go nearby, but the birds are still not disturbed.
Translation:
The mountains in the distance are brightly colored, but there is no sound when you approach the water. Spring has passed, but there are still many flowers and plants, people are approaching, but birds are still not disturbed.
About the author: Wang Wei (70 1-76 1, 699-76 1), a native of Zhou Pu, Hedong (now Yuncheng, Shanxi), was born in Qixian, Shanxi, and was a famous poet and painter in the Tang Dynasty.
Appreciate:
The mountains in the distance are often blurred, but the mountains in the picture are very clear. If you listen to running water nearby, you should hear the sound of water, but the running water in the painting is silent. Flowers in full bloom in spring will fade with the passage of spring. And the flowers on the painting are in full bloom no matter what season. When people get close to the bird sitting on the branch, it will fly away in horror. But the bird in the picture can't fly even if you come near it. The whole poem seems to violate the laws of nature, but in fact it is a secret riddle, which shows the characteristics of this painting.
