How long am I?
The day in the temple has turned white.
Pitch between heaven and earth.
When can I be a guest?
Disappointed with mountains and clouds.
Day and night are empty.
What matters is when people.
The East City is strange to the South.
Qing, the child has hair.
Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden in the Eastern Jin Dynasty: Yellow hair droops and enjoys itself. (Liao, Xiao Er hangs his hair)
This is a seven-character quatrain written by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei, which expresses the poet's feelings about the passage of time and his tendency to convert to Buddhism.
Wang Wei (70 1-76 1), a Han nationality, was born in Qixian County, Shanxi Province, and was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. His nickname was "Shi Fo". today
There are more than 400 poems. Wang Wei is well versed in Buddhism. Buddhism has a Vimalakīrti classic, which was told by Vimalakīrti to his disciples. Wang Wei admired it, so he called himself Wei, with the word "Momo". Wang Wei's poems, paintings and calligraphy are all famous and versatile. Music is also very proficient. Greatly influenced by Zen. Before Wang Wei's death, people thought that he was a "contemporary poet, good at Zen and good at reason." After his death, he got the title of "Shi Fo".
Wang Wei was born in a devout Buddhist family. According to Wang Wei's "Please Make Shi Zhuang a Temple Watch", "Cui Shi, the late mother of Boling County, studied as a teacher for more than 30 years, eating brown clothes and vegetables, observing meditation, enjoying living in the mountains and seeking peace.
Wang Wei was influenced by his mother since he was a child. At the same time, according to Volume 25 of Notes on Wang Youcheng, there is an article "Da Jian Fu Temple Monks, Taoist Monks Taming", in which the relationship between poets and famous monks and Taoist monks is described as: "After sitting on the ground for ten years, I have been taught, and it has nothing to do with me, but I just want to know where the Buddhist relics are."
It can be seen that Wang Wei is indeed a Buddhist, living a monk-like life in his later years. According to the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, "In the capital, I lived in Zhai for a long time, disheveled and lacking in literary talent. I ate with more than a dozen monks every day and took pleasure in metaphysics. I have nothing in the den except a teapot and a mortar, tied to the bed by a box. After retiring from the DPRK, I burned incense and sat alone, taking Zen as my career. " At this time, Wang Wei seems to be a monk. A famous poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, eunuch You Cheng, was originally from Qi (now Qixian County, Shanxi Province), moved to Yongji, Shanxi Province, believed in Buddhism, and lived in Lantian in his later years. He is a representative of the pastoral poetry school in Tang Dynasty.

Red mist's hood is airy and wobbly.
It's better to see love than to meet each other.
