Lin Daiyu said to Xiangling, "If you really want to learn, I have the complete works of King Shaman here. Read one hundred of his five-character laws carefully, then one or two hundred of Lao Du's seven-character laws and one or two hundred of Li Qinglian's seven-character quatrains. "
Lin Daiyu introduced Wang Wei's poems first, then Du Fu and Li Bai.
Lin Daiyu first asked Xiangling to read Wang Wei's poems, then Du Fu's and then Li Bai's. In the glorious cultural river of China's poetry, the Tang poetry is undoubtedly the most dazzling. Among the poets in the Tang Dynasty, there are Li Bai and Du Fu, the poet saint. Speaking of poets, I am also used to the order of Li Bai, Du Fu and Bai Juyi. Lin Daiyu put Wang Wei first and Li Bai last. For Wang Wei's poems, Lin Daiyu asked Xiangling to ponder them carefully and only let Du Fu and Li Bai read them. Why does the author write like this?
Xiangling's life experience is more suitable for reading Wang Wei's poems.
Wang Wei is best at landscape pastoral poetry, and his poetry is characterized by "painting in poetry and poetry in painting". We are familiar with the quiet feeling of "people are idle and osmanthus flowers fall, the moon is quiet and the mountains are empty", which can make people feel that the clouds are light and the wind is light, and there is a strong sense of the picture, which depicts a paradise for us.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, Xiangling is a girl from a bad industry. She left home as a teenager and was sold twice. Perhaps only reading Wang Wei's poems can bring her spiritual comfort. Wang Wei's quiet style and detached attitude are very suitable for Xiangling to read.
The characteristics of Shi Fo Wang Wei's poems are similar to the Zen machine in A Dream of Red Mansions.
Wang Wei is called "Shi Fo", and the word "Buddha" embodies the characteristics of Wang Wei's poetry, that is, philosophy and Zen. At the same time, there is a deep meditation in A Dream of Red Mansions, and Jia Baoyu is a process of meditation and enlightenment from beginning to end. At the beginning, a monk wrote a "good song" and Jia Baoyu finally became a monk. The whole article runs through an "empty" thought. From this point of view, A Dream of Red Mansions and Wang Wei's poetic style are similar.
There is a shadow of Wang Wei's poems in the poems and songs of A Dream of Red Mansions.
There are a lot of poems and songs in A Dream of Red Mansions, especially after the Grand View Garden, a provincial villa, is completed, and many words describing various scenes are borrowed from Wang Wei's poems.
Wang Wei's In the Mountains
The stream of the river has been flowing for less than a day, and white stones are exposed on the riverbed. The weather is getting colder and the red leaves on the branches are becoming scarce.
There is no rain on the winding mountain road, the smoke is misty in the dense pine trees, and the water vapor is heavy, as if to flow, and then the clothes of passers-by.
Jia Baoyu's Zhi Heng Qingfen
The garden is full of weeds, and the radish helps the fragrance.
Soft lining with three spring grasses, gently dragging a wisp of incense.
Light smoke fans winding path, cold Cui drops cloister.
Who is the song of "Pond"? Xie Jia has a long dream.
In Jia Baoyu's poems, "cold corridor" refers to the dew on the grass that is cold and dripping in the corridor. Lengcui is a description of dew on green leaves, which is very textured and memorable. In Wang Wei's poem, "Empty green clothes wet people's clothes" is green and dignified in the mountains, like wet people's clothes.
Lin Daiyu's Seeing Jia Baoyu's Apricot Curtain
Apricot curtains attract guests to drink, and you can see a villa.
Lingbi Goose Water, Sang Yu Yanziliang.
A bed of spring leeks is green, and ten miles of rice flowers are fragrant.
In prosperous times, you don't have to plow and weave.
The representative work of Wang Wei's pastoral poetry "Weishui Farmhouse"
Sunset shines on the market, and cattle and sheep go home along the path.
A rugged old man in a thatched door leaned against a cane and thought about his son, the shepherd boy.
There are whistling pheasants? Full ears of wheat, sleeping silkworms and peeled mulberry leaves.
Jojo and Fu Tian greet each other cordially.
No wonder I long for a simple life and sigh the old song, oh, back to the past! .
The two poems are fresh and natural in language, complacent in realm, full of life flavor, and very similar in structure and artistic conception.
In the 54th Snow Day, Li Wan's poem is "Cold Mountain has lost its green" and Wang Wei's poem is "Now the mountain is cold and blue". These poems are very similar in terms of words, artistic conception and verve, which shows that Cao Xueqin admires Wang Wei's poems.
Wang Wei's paintings are similar to the provincial villas in a dream of red mansions.
Wang Wei is not only a poet, but also a painter. His paintings, including Wangchuan Villa, focus on a group of villas, which are dotted with pavilions. These buildings are simple and solemn, quiet and peaceful. Here is the beauty of nature and the ideal existence of poetic life. The provincial villa in a dream of red mansions and the Grand View Garden where Jia Baoyu later lived are also an ideal existence.
There are warm huts, Wu Hengyuan, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Lotus Head Champs and Zi Ling Island in A Dream of Red Mansions, while Xinyi Hut, Julie Pavilion, Mulan Zhai and Cornus Inn in Wangchuan by Wang Wei are very similar. Wang Wei's poem "Zhuliguan" wrote: "Alone on dense bamboo, I play pipa and hum a tune. The voice is so low that no one can hear except my partner Mingyue. After Jia Zheng saw the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in A Dream of Red Mansions, he thought that he would be able to study here in a month and not waste his life. Lin Daiyu, who lives in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, gives people the feeling of "leaning alone near the bamboo" in A Dream of Red Mansions.
Although both Li Bai and Du Fu have made great achievements in poetry, Li Bai's poems are bold and unconstrained, belonging to romantic works, Du Fu's poems are sad and belong to the representative of realism, and only Wang Wei's poems are fresh and indifferent, Zen and refined. Both the image of Lin Daiyu and the meaning of the whole Dream of Red Mansions are in good agreement with Wang Wei, so it is not surprising that Lin Daiyu especially praised Wang Wei's poems when Xiangling studied poetry.
