Wangwei's Zhouzhuang River

"Zhouzhuang River" original: the breeze blows green willows, and the white water reflects people's hearts. Sailing on the blue waves, people are traveling in a picture world.

Interpretation: The breeze blows the green willows of Buddha, and clear lake reflects the bright red peach blossoms. We took a boat walk on the blue waves and looked at the beautiful scenery on both sides. We are like visiting in a beautiful painting.

Wang Wei, a native of qi zhou, Taiyuan (now Qixian, Shanxi) in the Tang Dynasty, was a representative of the pastoral school. He created a large number of pastoral poems with beautiful artistic conception and simple words. He was an outstanding representative writer of the pastoral school in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and promoted the poetic art of describing natural scenery since the Jin and Song Dynasties.

Wang Wei's poetry is recognized as the most important pastoral poet after Tao Yuanming and Xie Lingyun, and few poets after that have surpassed them in pastoral poetry.
