Sending Yuan to Twenty Shores Xi is an ancient poem by Wang Wei.
Original: Weicheng is full of rain and light dust, and the guest house is green and willow. Sincerely advise friends to drink a glass of wine, and it is difficult to meet their loved ones when they go out to Yang Guan in the west.
A spring rain in the morning of the Acropolis moistened the faint dust, and the willow branches and leaves around the guest house were fresh and tender. An old friend invites you for another drink. It's hard to see old relatives when you leave Yangguan for the west.
This is a poem to send a friend to the northwest frontier. Anxi, the abbreviation of Anxi Duhu, was established by the central government of the Tang Dynasty to govern the western regions, located in Qiuci City (now Kuqa, Xinjiang). The friend named Yuan went to Anxi on the orders of the imperial court. In the Tang Dynasty, most people who traveled westward from Chang 'an saw them off in Weicheng. Weicheng is the old city of Xianyang, Qin Dou, in the northwest of Chang 'an, on the north bank of Weishui.
Write the time, place and atmosphere of farewell in the first two sentences. In the morning, the Acropolis Guest House extends from east to west, and the postal road has no end. Willow trees surround the guest house and the postal road is on both sides. All this seems to be a common sight, but it is picturesque and picturesque. Yu Chao plays an important role here. The rain didn't last long in the morning, but it stopped as soon as it got wet.
The author introduces:
Wang Wei (70 1 -76 1, 699 -76 1) was born in Zhou Pu, Hedong (now Yuncheng, Shanxi), and his ancestral home was Qixian, Shanxi. The famous poet and painter in Tang Dynasty, together with Meng Haoran, were called "Wang Meng" and "Shi Fo". In the 19th year of Kaiyuan (73 1), Wang Wei was the first scholar. Li Guan right gleaned, supervised the remonstrance, and made our time in Hexi. Wang Wei studied Buddhism and Taoism and was proficient in poetry, books, paintings and music. He is famous for his poems of Kaiyuan and Tianbao, praising landscapes and pastoral areas.
Wang Wei's talent appeared very early, and his younger brother Wang Jin, who is one year younger than him, was very clever in his childhood. At the age of fifteen, he went to Beijing to take an exam. Because he can write good poems, be good at calligraphy and painting, and have a talent for music, Wang Wei, a teenager, immediately became the darling of princes and nobles in Beijing. As for his talent in music, a supplement to Tang Shi once told a story: once, a man got a painting to play music, but he didn't know why he was named after it.
Wang Wei looked at it and replied, "This is the first shot of the third colorful feather." Ask a musician to play, and it's exactly the same (according to the research of Shen Kuo's Meng Qian Bi Tan Volume 17 "Calligraphy and Painting", the third "colorful feather" is not a shot, but a Sanqu, and Bai Juyi's sentence "The middle sequence breaks into a shot" can also illustrate this point. Shen Kuo is proficient in temperament, and his words are credible. Wang Weigong's temperament is recorded in the official history, but this story is fabricated.
