Wang Wei has a gentle and calm personality, elegant manners and well-behaved words and deeds.
Wang Wei's life is praised by the world as an excellent life, probably because the world knows that he was smart and studious since childhood, and he was able to gain something by his extraordinary intelligence in all competitions and comparisons, and he was also favored by the royal family. At that time, he won the title of imperial examination champion by virtue of his hard work and intelligence.
during the dynasty, he started his own life as an official. After becoming an official, he is also promoted step by step. But at other times when he was dealing with bureaucracy, he chose to do something by himself, which improved not his economic conditions, but his state of mind.
He chose a certain area in Beijing to start building a villa. This is what we call the house a villa now, but the situation and conditions at that time were really enough for people living in the area to cultivate themselves. It is located in a sparsely populated forest valley with beautiful scenery, mountains and water.
This was originally the place where another poet before him once lived. He chose to be there, chatting with friends, having a heart-to-heart talk and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Such leisure elegance is hard to find a second person for an official! Therefore, only we can say that Wang Wei's personality is calm and envied by the world.

Wang Wei created a kind of artistic conception of "painting in poetry, poetry in painting" (Dongpo's Inscription and Postscript: A Picture of Clouds and Rain in Lantian) and "Zen in Poetry" with a fresh and simple style, and set up a banner in the poetry circle.
Wang Wei's pastoral poems depict natural beauty, but at the same time, they reveal the interest of leisure and leisure in a leisurely life. After middle age, Wang Wei became increasingly depressed, seeking sustenance in Buddhism and landscapes. He claimed that "I am happy when I realize silence, and I have more leisure in this life" ("Meal Fu Busan Monk"). This kind of mood is fully reflected in his poetry creation.
