Meng Haoran (689-740), whose real name is Haoran, was born in Xiangyang, Xiangzhou (now Xiangyang, Hubei). He was a famous pastoral poet in Tang Dynasty, and was praised as "Meng Xiangyang" by the world. Because he has never been an official, he is also called Monsanto.
Meng Haoran was born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and he was determined to use the world in his early years. After experiencing the hardships and pains of his official career, he was able to respect himself, not flatter the vulgar world, and practice seclusion for life. Once lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain. Traveling to Chang 'an at the age of 40 should be promoted by Jinshi. He once wrote a poem named Gong Qing in imperial academy, and he wrote for it. In the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737), Zhang Jiuling became a shogunate general and later lived in seclusion. Meng's poems are mostly five-character short stories, mostly pastoral poems and secluded poems, and most of them are in the mood of serving immortals. Although it is not without cynicism, it is more of a poet's self-expression.
2. Wang Wei
Wang Wei (70 1-76 1 year, once said 699-76 1 year), whose name is Mohs. Hedong Zhou Pu (now Yuncheng, Shanxi) was born in Qixian, Shanxi. Poets and painters in Tang Dynasty.
Wang Wei's pastoral poems, while depicting the natural beauty, reveal the leisure interest in the leisure life. Wang Wei became increasingly depressed after middle age and sought sustenance in Buddhism and landscapes. This state of mind has been fully reflected in his poetry creation. In the past, many people admired Wang Wei's poems, on the one hand, because of his high artistic skills, on the other hand, because of his leisure and negative thoughts.
Extended data
Tao Yuanming's pastoral poems not only reflect the Taoist consciousness of advocating nature, but also show the side of psychological leisure and self-enjoyment. In particular, Zhuangzi's world outlook of conforming to nature has a far-reaching influence on him, but he has not forgotten the world. He often struggles fiercely in his own spiritual depths between "being independent" and "helping the economy", "being an official" and "retiring".
Why is there such anxiety in his poems? It just shows that the ideas of "being an official" and "being hidden" are fighting each other. He is afraid that he will change his mind one day and go out to be an official, thus living up to his present ambition.
