(1) Both Wang Wei and Meng Haoran are famous for their natural landscapes. Meng Haoran died before Wang Wei every year, but he became famous after Wang Wei.
(2) When Wang and Meng were young, they all had the idea of making contributions and making contributions to life. After middle age, both of them are famous for their pastoral poems. Wang Wei is proficient in music and good at painting, and his poetic realm is "painting in poetry and poetry in painting"; Because of his devotion to Buddhism and his mastery of Zen, he is used to taking quiet nature as the object of meditation and rest. The poet focuses on the casual, accidental and rash intuitive impression when sitting and watching, and integrates the meditation of Zen with the aesthetic experience of mountains and rivers. However, Meng Haoran is not. His pastoral poems are closer to his own life, and the words "Yu" and "I" often appear in his poems. For example, "prepare chicken rice for me, old friend, you entertain me on your farm" in Passing the Old People's Village, for example, "Climbing the Mountain with Scholars": "The glory of rivers and mountains remains unchanged, and it is still to be witnessed by this path." The description of scenery in Meng Haoran's poems is often a part of his living environment, with the characteristics of improvisation and real carving.
(3) In his later years, Wang Wei lived in seclusion in Songshan and Zhong Nanshan, and ran a secluded business in Wangchuan. Most of the scenery in his poems is in the mountains. Such as the autumn night in the deep mountains: after the rain, the mountains are empty and stand on the autumn night. Such as "Baishi Mountain in the west of Beijing, the weather is cold and the red leaves are thin. It didn't rain on the mountain road and the clothes were wet. " (In the Mountains); For example, "a central peak divides the wilderness and weather into many valleys" (Zhong Nanshan). Mostly static pictures. However, Meng Haoran traveled many times in his life, and he preferred water travel. When he roamed the water town of wuyue by boat, he met the scenery and sang, for example, one night on Jiande River, "When my boat moved in the fog, the sunlight disappeared and old memories began." Such as "boating on the West Wild River": "The scenery is clear, light and radiant." Such as a berth in Tonglu, send a friend to Yangzhou: "The wind blows the leaves on both sides of the river, and the moon sails alone." Singing by boat makes the picture more dynamic and smooth.
(4) The beauty of quietness is the essence of Wang Wei's poetic art, and his poetic images are quiet and ethereal. Most of his poetic techniques use synaesthesia. Meng Haoran, on the other hand, is pure and beautiful. His poetic language is natural and pure, which is more simple, natural and simple than Wang Wei's, giving people the feeling of washing away the ordinary and depicting the beauty of indifferent and pure mountains and rivers. Therefore, Meng Haoran's poetic realm diluted Ming Xiu.
