After retiring from Jiangning, Wang Anshi lived in seclusion in Zhongshan, east of Nanjing. This Shanxi is 7 miles from Nanjing and about 7 miles from the top of Zhongshan Mountain in the east, so it is called Mid-Levels. During this period, his poems described the natural scenery in the form of four verses, paying attention to refining the meaning, and were appreciated by poetic theorists in previous dynasties, and were called "Half the Mountain in the World".
The Wind Coming from Deng Fei is a poem written by Wang Anshi when he returned to his hometown in Linchuan, Jiangxi from Renman, Yinxian County, Zhejiang Province. This is his first official work. At this time, the poet was only thirty years old, in the prime of life, with extraordinary ambitions. He just took this opportunity to fly to the peak, express his feelings and express his broad feelings.
In the poem, "I am not afraid of clouds to cover my eyes, I am at the highest level." On the surface, it means that I am not afraid of clouds blocking my farsightedness, because I am standing at the highest place of Feilai Peak.
In fact, it is about a villain who is not afraid of other useful people in the imperial court. This poem expounds the author's spirit of being fearless of difficulties and obstacles and full of optimism about victory. It is not a pure landscape painting, so it does not belong to the mid-levels category.
Extended data:
Wang Anshi's poetry is bounded by two strikes in the ninth year of Xining (1076), which can be roughly divided into two stages, with obvious differences in content and style. The early creation pays attention to social reality, reflects the sufferings of the lower class, has obvious tendency and straightforward style.
After retiring from politics in his later years, his mood gradually became dull, and a large number of poems about scenery and things replaced the previous political poems. In his later creation, he devoted himself to pursuing the art of poetry, re-refining the meaning and rhetoric, using words carefully, accurately confronting each other, being subtle and deep, profound and simple, and being unique in the poetry circle at that time with his energetic and far-reaching style, he was praised as "Wang Ti" in the world.
In order to realize his political ideal, Wang Anshi closely linked literary creation with political activities, emphasizing that the role of literature first lies in serving the society, emphasizing the practical function and social effect of articles, and advocating the unity of literature and Taoism. On the whole, his prose has carried out his literary ideas, exposed current malpractices, reflected social contradictions, and has a strong political color.
