Extended data:
Wang Wei had a positive attitude towards life and political ambitions when he was young. He wrote The Journey to the West's poems about frontier fortress and ranger, and described various subjects in the genre of Gexing, with the vigorous style of Cen Can and Gao Shi.
Wang Wei's later poems about mountains and rivers truly represent his poetic art. His works, mainly in five words, such as "Birds in the Stream", describe secluded life, idyllic landscapes, and pursue a quiet and leisurely spiritual life, with a simple and quiet style.
Wang Wei's works are full of Buddhism and Zen thoughts, seclusion thoughts, political setbacks, dead wives and so on. The involvement of Buddhist thought became the dominant thought of avoiding the world in his later years.
