Wang Wei was famous for his poetic talent during the reign of Tianbao in Kaiyuan, Tang Dynasty. At that time, he was known as "the literate sect in the world". He has written some positive poems, many of which have made great artistic achievements, and his pastoral poems are even more eye-opening. Together with Meng Haoran, they are called "pastoral poets". Wang Wei believed in Buddhism in his early years. Due to political setbacks, his thoughts tend to be negative. In his later years, he worshiped Buddha for a long time, lived in Lantian Villa, and interacted with Taoist friend Pei Di. As he wrote, "There are many sad things in life, and he won't let them go anywhere." "As the years go by, please give me peace and stay away from all kinds of affairs." Therefore, many poems in the later period have almost no positive reflection on reality, with strong negative thoughts on Buddhism and old age, and some are even full of idealistic philosophy of Buddhism. Some people later called him "Shi Fo".
Shi Gui (not expensive poetry) Li He
Qian Yi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, once said in the Southern New Book: "Li Bai is a genius, Bai Juyi is a talent, and Li He is a ghost." Song Qi, a contemporary of Qian Yi, once commented that "genius is too white and genius is too long", so the world often likes to call Li He a "genius".
As for why Li He is called a "ghost talent", we can refer to the discussion in Wang Qi's Preface to Li Changji's Poems and Fu Collection in Qing Dynasty: Fu Taibai is elegant and elegant; Chang Ji's poems are considered strange and dangerous by the world. It's based on the fact that Song people have talents and ghosts.
Li Heshi has a unique artistic style, which is called "Dragon Auspicious Style". Yan Yu once described his poems as "magnificent" in Cang Shi Lang Hua, that is, magnificent. This word not only describes the theme and language of his poems, but also describes the strangeness of his whole poetic environment and artistic conception.
Based on historical stories and myths and legends, Li used his rich imagination to create a magnificent and peculiar artistic realm. Even if it is based on common things in daily life, the author often exaggerates and associates it with extraordinary significance.
Artistic conception and conception are inseparable. The strangeness of Li He's works lies largely in his unconventional ideas. For example, his "Elegant Li Ping", with the help of the turning point of his way of thinking, is amazing and extraordinary, which is also one of the characteristics of "Dragon Lucky Style".
Generally speaking, the "Dragon Lucky Style" is characterized by using unconventional ideas to control language and novel materials and construct a magnificent and unique poetic realm; It is this strangeness of meaning, not just the strangeness of language, that can make most of the poet's poems full of poetry and painting at the same time.
But sometimes the excessive pursuit of novelty will also damage the natural beauty of poetry expression. "Too old is vulgar, too old is naive", which is a criticism of the disadvantages of "dragon auspicious style".
As Wang Qi said, the characteristics of Li He's poems are "focusing on literature, disdaining to talk about classics and human feelings", which is the advantage of "long auspicious style", but it inevitably leaves "traces of engraving chapters and sentences", which is the disadvantage of "long auspicious style"; If you are too keen on novelty, it is easy to get into danger. So you should avoid the shortcomings of overcorrection.
Poet → Liu Yuxi
Bai Juyi's Collection of Bai Liu's Singing and Interpretation: "Liu Pengcheng Mengde is a great poet, but he is an uninhibited person." The "Hao" here refers to the boldness, and the formation of this style is mainly due to the author's indomitable temperament and heroic personality.
