The next sentence is the egret flying in the desert paddy field, the yellow oriole is singing in the summer wood.
The meaning of this poem is: a row of egrets flew across the vast flat paddy fields; the cries of orioles came from the lush woods beside the fields. It comes from "Jiyu Wangchuanzhuang Zuo" by Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The original text is: The rain is empty and the fireworks are late, and the quinoa is steamed and the millet is cooked. Egrets fly in the desert paddy fields, and orioles sing in the overcast summer trees. In the mountains, I quietly watch the hibiscus trees, and under the pine tree, I fold the dew sunflowers. The old man is fighting for a seat with others, but the seagull is even more suspicious of what happened.
This poem uses fresh and fresh colors to describe the beautiful and busy scene on the Guanzhong Plain after the long rain in summer has stopped. The first four sentences describe what the poet saw quietly, and the last four sentences describe the poet's feelings. A life of seclusion. The poet combined his elegant and light Zen life with the quiet and beautiful pastoral scenery of Wangchuan to create an artistic conception where things and I are comfortable with each other and the scenes blend together. The scenery described in the whole poem is vivid and realistic, with a strong flavor of life, just like an elegant ink painting, fresh, clear and vivid, showing the poet's leisurely mood of living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, away from the worldly world.
Wang Wei’s contribution in literary history:
1. Poetry art: Wang Wei’s poems take landscapes and pastoral themes as their themes, focusing on describing natural landscapes and life emotions, forming a unique art style. His poems express awe of nature and care for human nature, with profound ideological connotations and superb artistic skills.
2. Poetry theory: Wang Wei had unique insights and thinking on poetry creation. He proposed poetry theories such as "poetry expresses ambition" and "quietness and inaction", which influenced the poetry world of later generations.
3. Identity as a painter: Wang Wei is also a famous painter. In the Tang Dynasty, he created the creative mode of "painting within poetry and poetry within painting", organically combining poetry and painting. His landscape paintings inherited the traditions of previous generations and also opened up a new artistic context to some extent.
4. Cultural exchange: Wang Wei once served as the ambassador of the Tang Dynasty to Tubo. He traveled between the Central Plains and the Western Regions many times and had a wide range of cultural vision and exchange experience. During his stay in Tubo, he interacted with local literati and left behind many precious cultural heritages.
