[Author] Wang Wei From a distance, the mountains are colorful, but up close, the water is silent. When spring comes, the flowers are still there, and the birds are not surprised when people come.
〖Translation〗
In the distance, you can clearly see the green color of the mountains,
But you can’t hear the sound of running water nearby.
Spring has passed but the flowers are still blooming.
The birds on the branches remain motionless when people approach them.
It describes and praises the superb painting skills. The things in this painting are like real things.
Wang Wei
Wang Wei (701-761), Mojie, a poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. A native of Qizhou (now Qixian County, Shanxi), he later moved to Puzhou (now Yongji, Shanxi). Wang Wei was born into a family of bureaucratic landlords. He was versatile. Not only was he highly accomplished in poetry and famous for his poems, but he was also proficient in calligraphy, painting and music. In the ninth year of Kaiyuan (721), Wang Weizhong became a Jinshi, and served successively as the Right Supplementary and Supervisory Censor. When the Anshi rebels invaded Chang'an, they were captured and forced to serve as puppets. After Chang'an was recovered, he was demoted to Prince Zhongyun. At the end of his official career, he became Minister Youcheng and became known as King Youcheng in the world.
During the period when Zhang Jiuling was Prime Minister, Wang Wei was very enterprising and his poems also showed a high-spirited style. After middle age, as the political situation deteriorated, Wang Wei lived a life of both officialdom and seclusion in Zhongnan and Wangchuan villas, and devoted himself to the creation of pastoral landscape poetry, becoming a representative writer of the pastoral landscape poetry school in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Wang Wei's pastoral landscape poems directly inherit Tao Yuanming's clear, indifferent and profound artistic style. He is famous for his meticulous observation and keen sense. "There are paintings in the poems" is a significant feature of Wang Wei's poems. Su Dongpo once said: "When you taste Mojie's paintings, there are poems in the paintings; in Mojie's poems, there are paintings in the poems." His poems often integrate poetry and painting into one, creating an evocative artistic realm with a fresh and elegant style and artistic conception. Far away. Wang Wei spent many years fasting and worshiping Buddhism in his later years, and his pastoral landscape poems also clearly have the atmosphere of Zen enlightenment. There is "Wang Youcheng Collection".
