Gao Ding: The exact date of birth and death is unknown. Word one, Zhuo Wu, a native of Renhe, Zhejiang (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang), lived mainly after the Opium War and was an unknown poet in the late Qing Dynasty.
Gao Ding's works were not widely circulated before his death, but two of them are still very popular today.
One is "Village Residence" about flying kites:
"The grass grows in February and the willows are drunk with spring smoke. The children came back from school early and were busy flying kites in the east wind. "
The second picture is the picture mentioned here:
"Looking at the mountains, listening to the silent water. It is not surprising that spring is still there. "
Some people say that this poem is the work of the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei. However, this poem is not in Wang Wei's name. Moreover, there is no such poem in the whole Tang poetry.
There is another saying: According to legend, Tang Bohu, one of the four gifted scholars, once walked to the broken bridge in Hangzhou and found a blank poem on the railing at the bridge head: □ Looking at the color, □ Listening to the sound. Go, yes, come, surprise. After reading it, Tang Bohu improvised to fill in the blanks, wrote words in the blank and compiled a wonderful poem "Poems on Paintings": "Looking at the mountains in the distance, listening to the silent water. It is not surprising that spring is still there. "
In fact, the latter two statements are nonsense.
