With a fresh and simple style, Wang Wei created the artistic conception of "painting in poetry, poetry in painting" and "Zen in poetry", and set up a banner in the field of poetry.
Wang Wei's pastoral poems, while depicting the natural beauty, reveal the leisure interest in the leisure life. After middle age, Wang Wei became increasingly depressed and sought sustenance in Buddhism and landscapes. He claimed that "silence is joy, and there is much leisure in this life" ("Fanbu Busan Monk"). This state of mind has been fully reflected in his poetry creation.
