Problem description:
As we all know, Wang Wei, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, not only painted well, but also painted well. Su Dongpo said that he was "painting with poetry and painting with poetry", but in which field did he achieve more?
Analysis:
Let's start with Wang Wei's poems. His poems are fresh and natural, unique and widely circulated. "People idle osmanthus falls, and the night is quiet and empty. When the moon comes out, it surprises the birds and sounds into the spring stream. " This is a poem known to all women and children. The author gives people a quiet and beautiful landscape with his extremely concise words. Wang Wei wrote many poems in his life, such as "moonlight in the pine forest, crystal stone in the stream" and "I will walk to the water to check my path, and then sit and watch the rising clouds". Wang Wei's poems often reveal a bit of Zen in their pure spirit. Poems such as "The desert is lonely and straight, the long river sets the yen", "Thousands of miles in the sky, several peaks rise from the clouds" and "The mountains are empty after the rain and stand in late autumn" render us beautiful scenery and make people feel the charm of mountains and rivers from different angles.
Speaking of Wang Wei's paintings, it is said that he is also an accomplished landscape painter.
It is reported that he painted green landscapes like Li Sixun and ink landscapes near Wu Daozi. At the same time, he created a broken ink landscape, removed the glitz of the previous landscape painting, and only used ink to dilute it, which made the landscape painting, which was originally dominated by hook lines, take a step forward to the development of ink painting. In his paintings, the pen is fresh and the pen and ink fade out. After reading his paintings, you can naturally appreciate the unique artistic connotation revealed in elegance and lightness. Su Shi once said: "A fascinating poem has pictures in it; Look at the picture, there are poems in the picture. " These are all written descriptions, but unfortunately, we can't verify the specific works today (his specific paintings and calligraphy works are no longer in existence or yet to be verified). For example, "whoever paints landscapes means to write first", which can only be recorded as Wei's landscape tactics in the selection of paintings.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, from the comments on his paintings, we can draw the following conclusions: Wang Wei combines painting and poetry, his poems are plain, his painting rhyme is implicit and rich, his artistic conception is clear and broad, and he sketches his own world in nature. He uses his pen casually, his pen and ink are calm, and his lines are rigid but not flying. In his space, images and pen and ink complement each other, expressing his love and feeling for life. He combined the words, objects, poems and paintings, thus creating a broader and far-reaching artistic space for the world.
Wang Wei started the ink and wash landscape painting in the Tang Dynasty, which had a great influence on later literati painting. Throughout his life, he poured all his feelings into the landscape, expressed his feelings and created his own thoughts. Poetry comes from the chest, painting comes from the heart, scenes blend, poetry and painting complement each other, and music is meaningful, reaching the highest realm of the unity of poetry and painting.
Personally, I think Wang Wei's poems and paintings can't be compared. Poetry is widely circulated (almost known to women and children), and it is rare to see the "original painting" passed down from generation to generation.
