There are several natural passages in ancient poetry and painting.

The ancient poem "Painting" has two natural paragraphs, the first paragraph.

The original poem "Painting": Looking at the mountains in the distance, listening to the silent water. Spring has passed, but there are still many flowers and flowers. People go nearby, but the birds are still not disturbed.

Translation of the ancient poem "Painting": From afar, the mountains are colorful, and the water is silent. Spring has passed, but there are still many people approaching, but the birds are still not disturbed.

Creation background: This poem is the poet's praise for painting. There are different opinions about the author of this poem. It is said that it was written by Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty, but there is no such poem in Wang Wei's works or the whole Tang poetry. One theory was originally a part of the ode poem written by the Buddhist monk Zen master in the Southern Song Dynasty to annotate the Buddhist classic "Diamond Sutra".

Expanding knowledge: Wang Wei

Wang Wei (693 or 694 or 70 1 year -76 1 year), whose real name is Mo Shu, is Mo Shu. Hedong Zhou Pu (now Yuncheng, Shanxi) was born in Qixian, Shanxi. Poets and painters in Tang Dynasty.

He not only studied Buddhism and Taoism, but also mastered poetry, calligraphy, painting, music and so on. Kaiyuan and Tianbao were famous for their poems, especially five words, which praised landscapes and pastoral areas. Together with Meng Haoran, he was called "Wang Meng" and "Shi Fo". His paintings and calligraphy are particularly wonderful, and later generations admire him as the ancestor of Nanzong landscape painting. Su Shi commented on this: "There are pictures in poetry, which are fascinating; Look at the picture, there are poems in the picture. "

He also has more than 400 poems, such as Acacia, Autumn Night in the Deep Mountains and other works, such as Wang Youcheng Collection and The Secret of Painting.

The picturesque beauty of Wang Wei's pastoral poems

Mainly in two aspects. On the one hand, it is hierarchical beauty. Wang Wei's pastoral poems skillfully use artistic composition techniques, which are reflected in many poems.

For example, in "Zhongnanshan", the poet first described the great ship of Zhongnanshan in an exaggerated way, and this outline can only be seen from a distance, not from a close distance, otherwise it will make Zhongnanshan lose its mysterious beauty. Then the poet was in the middle of Mount Zhongnan, describing the scene like flowing water.

Then, in the middle of Zhongnanshan, the poet looked at the changed distant scenery and saw the looming scene in the sun. Finally, the poet turned sharply and found a place to stay, and found the woodcutter on the other side of the mountain.

The appearance of poets and woodcutters is in sharp contrast with Zhong Nanshan, which further highlights the hierarchical beauty of poetry. On the other hand, its color is beautiful. Wang Wei knows the mystery of color and uses it for innovation. He does not stick to style and theme, absorbs the experience of predecessors and boldly innovates. For example, the poet compares a large area of dense green "desert" with lush green "shade" in "After Rain", which shows a strong color contrast effect.
