Wang Wei
Hearts also contain fresh rain overnight, green willows and a touch of spring smoke.
The children at home have not been driven away, and the oriole singing the song of idleness is still sleeping.
Pastoral Music is a group of poems composed of seven six-character quatrains. The author lives in seclusion in Wangchuan Villa, enjoying the pleasure of being close to nature, so the title is Six Words of Wangchuan. This is one of them. The poem "Sleeping", "Singing", "Falling Flowers" and "Sleeping Rain" in spring is easily reminiscent of Meng Haoran's five-line poem "Spring Dawn". There are so many similarities in the life content written in the two poems, but the artistic conception is quite different. Comparing with each other, it is easiest to see two remarkable characteristics of Wang Wei's poem.
The first feature is vivid and colorful, and there are pictures in poetry. This is not to say that there are no paintings in Meng's poems, but that Meng's poems focus on freehand brushwork. Although the wind and rain of flowers and birds are also mentioned, they are not described in detail, and their environment is indirectly realized by readers from poems. Wang Wei's poems can be completely different. Not only the composition is large, but also the coloring is concrete and vivid, and the description is meticulous, so that readers can draw first and then understand. Write peach blossoms and leaf warblers to capture the characteristic scenery of spring. Here, peaches, willows and warblers all refer to flowers and birds, which is more specific than Meng's general reference to flowers and birds, and it is easier to evoke intuitive impressions. It is also obvious that the artistic effect of writing Rain at Night through Stay in the Rain and Facing the Smoke is the same. On the basis of linking the scenery, there is color, and the use of the words "red" and "green" makes the scenery bright and pleasing to the eye. Readers will see a bright future. "Peach flies away, burning its glory", plus "Liu is Yi Yi", the scenery is pleasant. After coloring, there is a layer of rendering: deep red and light red petals are slightly raindrops overnight, and the colors are softer and more lovely. After the rain, the air is clear and fresh, and the flowers in Ran Ran are overflowing, which makes people enchanted; The green wicker cage is more charming in the hookah. Poetic landscape, after layers of rendering and detailed description, has become a detailed and colorful picture scroll; In contrast, Meng's poems are like uncolored freehand brushwork. One is colored and the other is colorless. Meng's poem begins with "I woke up in this beautiful spring morning" and saw people before entering China. On the other hand, Wang Shi didn't meet anyone before entering this country. Because of the "constant rain", there is a "falling flower". Flowers should be cleaned up when they fall, but "children haven't cleaned up yet." Don't sweep, don't sweep, because people haven't got up in the morning. There is a quiet interest in this scene of flowers falling on the ground without anyone asking. This is exactly what Wang Wei likes better. The word "not swept" was obtained intentionally or unintentionally, with no effort and no trace. Finally, I wrote "Yingying crow". Yingying crows without dreaming, and Shanke falls asleep. This is the charming picture of me waking up easily in this spring morning. But there are subtle differences with Meng's poems. Meng's poem begins with "I wake up in the spring", but people are already awake, so there is a pleasure of "birds singing around" and a suspense of "I don't know how many flowers have been folded", and its artistic conception can be summarized by the word "spring trouble". This poem was written at the end of spring sleep, when people slept soundly and safely and knew nothing about the outside world. Although flowers are falling and birds are singing, it only sets off the tranquility and mood of the "mountain guest" residence, so its artistic conception is mainly based on the word "quiet" Wang Weizhi's "music" is also here. It is not wrong for people to say that his poems are Zen. The idea of advocating silence has a negative side. But Wang Wei's poetry is commendable because it is different from silence. He can write life in silence through the interaction of motion and static, giving people a fresh, clear and beautiful feeling. Tang poetry is characterized by vague artistic conception, but there are still two specific manifestations. One kind of bias makes people feel indirectly, such as Meng's poem "Spring Dawn". The other is biased towards the environment, which makes people realize the author's meaning from the environment, so poetry is. And from the environment, there are pictures in the poem. Is that most remarkable advantage of this poem.
