Differences between Wang Wei and Meng Haoran's pastoral poems

Wang Wei and Meng Haoran are representatives of pastoral poetry. Because of their different experiences and thoughts, their poetic artistic style is both distinct and individual. Wang Wei had a rough life and was greatly influenced by Buddhist thought. Meng Haoran's experience is relatively simple and plain, deeply influenced by the Confucian spirit of being an official. Therefore, the biggest difference between Wang Wei's and Meng Haoran's poems in artistic style is that Zen and self-realm are everywhere, and the strong spirit of being an official and self-realm runs through. But they all added a bunch of magnificent flowers to the ancient art garden in China, and their contribution is beyond doubt. Their poems, which have been handed down for thousands of years, are always worth learning.
