There are landscape poems, such as Wang Bo's "Wang Tengge"; Or express feelings of parting, such as Wang Bo's Farewell to Du Shaofu as a Book Biography, which is a masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages. It makes poetry move from a narrow hall to a broad market, from a narrow pavilion to a vast territory and frontier, which opens up the theme of poetry, enriches the content of poetry, endows poetry with new vitality, improves the ideological significance of poetry at that time, shows a new poetic style and promotes the development of poetry in the early Tang Dynasty.

Wang Bo (about 650-676), Zi An, Han nationality, was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Longmen, Gujiang County (now Hejin, Shanxi Province) was born in a Confucian family, and was called "four outstanding men in the early Tang Dynasty" with Yang Jiong, Lu and Luo. Wang Bo is the first of the four outstanding men. Wang Bo was smart and studious since he was a child. According to Old Tang Book, he was able to write articles at the age of six, and he was known as a "child prodigy". At the age of nine, I read Yan Shigu's Notes on Hanshu and wrote ten volumes of Finger Defects to correct my mistakes. At the age of sixteen, he was appointed Saburo at the request of Su You Branch. He was kicked out of Pei Wang Fu for "cockfighting". After that, Wang Bo spent three years traveling in Bashu mountains and rivers and wrote a lot of poems. After returning to Chang 'an, he asked Zhou Guo to join the army. When he joined the army, he was demoted twice for killing government slaves privately. In August of the third year of Shang Yuan (676), he returned from visiting relatives across the sea and died of drowning. In the poetic genre, he is good at five laws and five sentences. His representative works include Farewell to Du DuDu's appointment in Shu. His main literary achievement is parallel prose, which is abundant and of good quality. His representative works include Preface to Wang Tengting and so on.

Wang Bo's literature advocates practicality. At that time, the poetic style, represented by Shangguan Yi, prevailed in the literary world, with "trying to slim the structure and carve it", "doing one's best to keep one's backbone, but not listening to it", and Wang Bo "thinking about its disadvantages and pursuing its career lightly" (Preface to Yang Jiong and Wang Bo). His poems are "strong but not empty, firm and moist, engraved without breaking, strengthened by pressing", which has played a great role in changing the atmosphere. Wang Bo's poetic style was also influenced by Wang Ji, who made great contributions to reversing the legacy of Qi and Liang Dynasties and creating Tang poetry. At that time, the world didn't recognize Wang Bo's poems and the poems of the "Four Masters", but his poems had a great influence on later poets, such as "However, China keeps our friendship, and heaven is still our neighbor" and other famous poems are considered as the best among the Tang poems, and "Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn water and sky are the same color" is an eternal masterpiece. Du Fu, who is known as the "sage of poetry", praised the poems of the "four masters" as "never wasting rivers and mountains for generations". "Make it six (below)"

But Wang Bo is poor. In Tengwangge, he hoped someone could introduce him, but he didn't have a chance. He died on his way to visit his father.
