This is because his poetic style is fresh and lofty, full of Zen and detached interest, showing a detached realm. His poems mostly describe natural scenery and spiritual feelings, which have profound implications and express his thinking and pursuit of life, nature and truth. Because the style of Wang Wei's works is greatly influenced by Zen, his poems are full of Zen, and his unsatisfactory official career makes him devote himself to Buddhism, relying on Buddhism as his emotional sustenance, thus getting rid of secular troubles, so the world calls him "Shi Fo".
Wang Wei was born in Zhou Pu (now Yongji, Shaanxi) during the period of Wu Zetian. Talent is early, intelligence is extraordinary in childhood. In the third year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (7 15), Wang Wei left home for Beijing, hoping to get the recommendation of dignitaries. Because he can write good poems, is good at calligraphy and painting, and has a talent for music, he immediately became the darling of princes and nobles in Beijing as soon as he arrived. In the fifth year of Kaiyuan (7 17), I was in Chang 'an, and sometimes I went to Luoyang. There are poems such as "I miss my Shandong brothers on vacation in the mountains".
Wang Wei's literary achievements are mainly reflected in his poetry creation. Wang Wei's poems depict natural scenery such as mountains and rivers, rural areas, praise seclusion, vivid and vivid, and have both form and spirit. With a fresh, simple and natural style, Wang Wei created an artistic conception of reading his poems like a painting, full of poetic and Zen meaning, and set up a banner in the poetry circle.
