Sometimes go to the end of the water to seek the source, or sit and watch the ever-changing clouds rise. Occasionally I met a village elder in the Woods, and I chatted with him until I often forgot to go home.
People with literary knowledge will probably be familiar with this poem, which stems from the prominent position of its author, Wang Wei, and the representative significance of My Retreat in Zhongnanshan in Wang Wei's poetic achievements.
In fact, the landscape itself cannot infect people. What infects people is the feeling of walking between mountains and rivers. The feeling of "I will walk until the water stops me, and then sit and watch the rising clouds" is unique, not just ordinary leisure, but a profound realm of Zen.
The water is poor, there is no way. In common sense, it means the end. In Wang Wei's case, "walking" was born at the end. Yun Qi, on the other hand, has a blurred vision and lost its scenery, which should be a departure from the original intention of tourists. However, if the mind is on the right track, sitting and watching Yun Qi is only a process of understanding the interest of natural changes.
Water poverty is the source of water, and everything returns to its source. This is a metaphor. Only by completely exhausting the dust and labor in the world can we return to the true nature and the source of our "self-nature". Yun Qi is a natural phenomenon, so you don't have to care about it or criticize it. External blindness does not hurt your inner light, but your heart does not move, and the clouds are as smooth as clouds.
There are many authors of landscape poetry school, and only Wang Wei can write such amazing works.
Wang Wei, Chinese characters and strokes. There is a Vimalakīrti Sutra in the Buddhist scriptures, which records that when Sakyamuni Buddha was alive, there was a Buddhist named Vimalakīrti (practicing at home). Sakyamuni Buddha confirmed that his skill of practicing the certificate is equivalent to that of the Buddha-Wang Wei's name and words have special meanings.
Wang Wei's official career should be something to be proud of. In his later years, he was a prominent official, but since middle age, he has no intention of fame and fortune, fasting and serving the Buddha, and transcending the secular world. From the 28th year of Kaiyuan (740) to the 3rd year of Tianbao (743), I lived a semi-official and semi-secluded life first in Zhong Nanshan and then in Lantian, Shaanxi. My retreat in Zhongnanshan describes the state of mind during this period.
You can see clouds and Yun Qi. A meditator is not confused by the outside world and is not obsessed with the practice of things, which is shown here. Don't be fettered by trifles, no matter when and where, you are comfortable and enjoy yourself. This realm is the realm of Zen.
"There is no doubt about mountains and rivers, and there is another village." This is a well-known sentence. The beauty of it lies not only in its skillful description of difficult scenes and antitheses, but also in its "magnificent language with nothing to do", which is natural, philosophical and chewy. Bringing this kind of natural scenery into poetry has long been described by poets in the Tang Dynasty, such as Wang Wei's "Shimen Jingshe": "I love to show off in the distance, but my first suspicion is different; An Zhiqing turned around and suddenly connected with Qian Shan. " In the hands of poets in the Song Dynasty, there are also descriptions, such as On the River by Wang Anshi: "Castle Peak can't bypass the road, and suddenly Qian Fan looms". There are also poets who are close to Lu You's age. His poems have the charm of the Tang Dynasty, and he once wrote the poem "There is no road at first sight in the distant mountains, and there is a village gradually in the winding path"
As mentioned in the article, Wang Wei's poems have reached a very high realm of Zen, which is a process of mastery and repetition. Seeing the end of the water is the beginning of the cloud. However, there is doubt and no road in the mountains, and there is another village. After Another Village, it was all over. Lu you just understands that at some point, the end of things is only the beginning of a turnaround, and after the beginning, it is only the beginning. So when we reach "another village", it's over. I will walk until the water blocks my way, and then sit and watch the rising clouds mentioned by Wang Wei: "If we reach the end of the water and look at Yun Qi, we will see endless miracles. Only then can you realize that the things in life are infinite and the meaning of learning is infinite. These two sentences have the beauty of machines. " (On the Realm of Poetry)
Writing is the beauty of Wang Wei; "I will keep walking until the water blocks my way" is natural and accidental. The word "accident" really runs through it and has become a major feature of this trip. And because there are accidents everywhere, there are "unintentional encounters" everywhere, which show the leisure in the heart, such as clouds flying freely, flowing freely like running water, and the traces are unrestrained. It describes the poet's natural and detached style.
