Wang Wei left us a rich artistic world. He was clever since he was a child, and he could write poems and articles at the age of nine. At the age of seventeen, he wrote a well-known poem, "I miss my relatives twice during the festive season." This simple and unpretentious poem is naturally full of true feelings. It has been deeply rooted in people's hearts for thousands of years and has become a classic that is familiar to every China person. Of course, not only that, but also "it's too light for anyone to hear, except my comrade-in-arms Mingyue", "Meet for a drink", "Smell the chivalrous bone when you die" and ... The poet left us many classics with his pen, which made us enjoy unparalleled art in beautiful scenery.
Landscape poetry began to rise after Wei and Jin Dynasties, but it didn't become a grand view until the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Meng Haoran and Wang Wei started the school of landscape poetry. Meng Haoran is a little longer than Wang Wei, and his excellent landscape works are very artistic. The calendar says: If you don't read Wang Wei's landscape poems, you can't see through the essence of China's poetry art.
Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, praised Wang Wei like this: "There are pictures in the poems, which are fascinating; Look at the picture, there are poems in the picture. " Wang Wei's talent is not only manifested in his outstanding achievements in poetry creation, but also in calligraphy and painting. Be good at cursive script and official script, and be good at silk and bamboo.
Wang Wei is also proficient in temperament, good at seal cutting and a famous calligrapher. It can be said that Wang Wei is a rare artistic all-rounder in the prosperous Tang Dynasty! His highest achievements are poetry and painting. His landscape poems and landscape paintings complement each other, and the beauty lies in "painting in poetry and poetry in painting"!
The following is one of the most classic poems by Wang Wei, which appropriately explains the meaning of "there is a picture in the poem and a poem in the picture":

From a distance, the mountains are high and the clouds are light, and the colors are bright. When you look closer, you can only hear the sound of water, but there is no sound.
Spring has passed, but there are still many flowers and flowers. People go nearby, but the birds are still not disturbed.
Everyone has learned this poem in primary school, but children may not fully understand it when they are young. Maybe they just regard it as a beautiful landscape poem. Actually, it is not. Although this poem is only four sentences, it is entirely about scenery, but it is not about real scenery, but the scenery in the middle of "painting"!
The title of this poem is only one word-"painting", in fact, it shows that this poem is written by the poet to appreciate a landscape painting, take the "landscape flowers and birds" in the painting and describe its scenery! However, the poet did not simply describe it as a static painting, but integrated it with motion and static, and wrote the painting as "living"!
"Looking at the mountains from afar is colorful", the painting is close at hand, but the mountains in the painting are hazy and graceful, as if people are in front of the painting and the mountains in the painting are far away, so you can see far away! The color of the mountain is not detailed, but it seems vague, showing the quiet beauty of the distant mountain!
Then the phrase "quietly listening to the sound of water" is a dynamic description. The water in the painting is fixed, but the painter paints it as flowing, so the poet who appreciates this painting can't help but hear the sound of water, which is naturally "silent water"!
These two sentences not only describe the beauty of the landscape in the painting, but also implicitly express the superb painting. Obviously, the mountains are hazy and graceful, the water flows, and the mountains are still and the water moves!
The next two sentences, "Spring goes and spring comes, flowers are still there, and people are not surprised when they come", describe the flowers and birds in the painting. Spring on earth has passed, but the flowers in the painting are still blooming like real ones. The birds in the painting are even more lifelike. The poet came to appreciate the painting, but the bird was not afraid to leave. This sentence "people come to the birds not to be surprised" is particularly wonderful, as if the poet had entered the world of painting and was intoxicated by it!
Wang Wei's Painting is the pinnacle of his artistic achievements. Appreciating paintings and taking poems from them, writing poems is picturesque in front of you, poetic and picturesque, and the combination is just right, wonderful and beautiful!
