Together with Yang Jiong, Lu and Luo, they were called the four masters in the early Tang Dynasty. He is good at five-character poems and five-character quatrains, and has also made great achievements in parallel prose. However, not many works can be handed down today.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the form of poetry creation just rose and was not very mature, so most of the early works were unremarkable, and the works that looked good at that time were not as good as the classic poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which was caused by the limitations of the times and environment. However, Wang Bo died young and his literary attainments did not reach the peak, so it seems that most of his works are not brilliant.
The most famous poem is "Farewell to the post of Vice Governor Du", which is a classic farewell poem. Among them, "However, as long as China keeps our friendship, heaven is still our neighbor" is also a classic sentence. This poem has ups and downs, broad artistic conception and lofty artistic conception. Another masterpiece of Wang Bo, Poems of Wang Tengting, is a part of Preface to Wang Tengting, which is unique in describing scenery. However, without the background of preface to Wang Teng-ting, the status of this poem in Tang poetry is still very low.
Preface to Wang Tengting is Wang Bo's most classic literary work, in which there are numerous well-known classic sentences, which not only fully show the gorgeous rhetoric of parallel prose, but also have a very high artistic conception, and fully show the author's feelings of incompetence without anger and unwillingness. "There is no way to volunteer, and there is a pen when the final army is weak, Mu Zongchang."
Wang Bo's life is short, and his official career is not smooth. Before the fame of the literary master was transformed into the promotion of his status, he died because of a drowning, which cut the sky in the early Tang Dynasty like lightning and suddenly passed away. Although there are not many works, he can be sung for generations, which makes people envious.
