Poets in Tang Dynasty. The word zi an. Jiangzhou Longmen (now Hejin, Shanxi) people. Together with Yang Jiong and Lu, they are called "Wang Luo" and "four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty". Wang Bo's grandfather, Wang Tong, was a famous scholar in the late Sui Dynasty. His father, Wang Fu, worked as a doctor and secretary in Yongzhou. Wang Bo's talent was revealed very early. When he was a teenager, he was praised as a child prodigy by Liu Xiangdao, the governor of the imperial court. He recommended it to the imperial court and took countermeasures to seal him as a court official. At the beginning of 666, Gan, a native, took part in reading in the palace. Two years later, he was expelled from the palace for his role in The King's Chicken. Then go to Bashu. In the third year of Xian Heng (672), he made up for Zhou Guo to join the army. He was dismissed because he was good at killing officials and slaves. His father was also involved and was demoted to toe order. In the second year (675) or the third year (676), Wang Bo went south to visit relatives and drowned across the sea.
Wang Bo's literature advocates practicality, thinking that "a gentleman's word is decided. Mencius did not do it; It is shameful for Yang Xiong to advise you to be sarcastic. If you can't clarify the righteousness, rectify the last stream, vulgarize the rise and fall of the capital, and the home country depends on it, the ancients didn't pay attention to it ("Official Pei Assistant Lang Qi"). At that time, the poetic style, represented by Shangguan Yi, prevailed in the literary world, with "trying to slim the structure and carve it", "doing one's best to keep one's backbone, but not listening to it", and Wang Bo "thinking about its disadvantages and pursuing its career lightly" (Preface to Yang Jiong and Wang Bo). His poems are "strong but not empty, firm and moist, engraved without breaking, strengthened by pressing", which has played a great role in changing the atmosphere.
Wang Bo now writes more than 80 poems, most of which are five-character poems and quatrains. Among them, writing Farewell to Homesickness is more famous. The Biography of Du Shaofu as a Book is a famous farewell poem in the Tang Dynasty, which describes the feelings of parting, consoled by "However, China has our friendship and the sky is our neighbor", and the artistic conception is open, sweeping away the deep breath of parting and pain. Five laws, such as Farewell to Xue Hua and Farewell to Xue Hua, are sincere and touching. Five-character quatrains, such as In the Mountains, Ji Chun, A Spring Tour and Two Poems on the Riverside, express deep homesickness through scenery writing. In the Ming Dynasty, Hu Yinglin thought that Wang Bo's Five Laws were graceful in image and vigorous in spirit, which really opened the wonderful scene of prosperous (Tang) and middle (Tang) times. Five words absolutely Yi Shu writes sadness, washes and cuts the flow. Investigating their talents is naturally the first time for the Tang people to open up the atmosphere "("Poetry Internal Compilation "Volume 4).
There are more than 10 ancient poems in Wang Bo alone, among which "Lingaotai" reflects the bustling life of the city and secretly satirizes the nobles and giants. "Lotus Picking Song" and "Autumn Night is Long" describe that women miss their husbands when picking lotus and smashing clothes, which directly inherits the tradition of Yuefu folk songs and can open up artistic conception. Although these poems still have the gorgeous colors of the Six Dynasties, their styles are fresh and clear, showing a new atmosphere of Tang poetry.
There are more than 90 existing essays, such as fu and preface, table, monument, fu and so on. Most of them are parallel prose, among which there are many excellent works. Preface to Wang Teng-ting has become a household name in the Tang Dynasty, and it is considered as a "genius" work that should be immortal (Tang Dynasty). And famous sayings such as "The sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, the autumn water is * * * and the sky is one color" are highly praised by theorists. "Biography of Old Tang Dynasty Wen Yuan" quoted Cui Rong as saying: "Wang Bowen and Zhang Hongyi are very popular."
