Last time, I said that there are two kinds of color combinations that are most used in Wang Wei's poems. One is the red and green color matching in the early stage, showing a bright and colorful flower; The other is the combination of white and green in the later works, which presents a bright and quiet landscape.

In addition, poets also use the same color system to describe landscapes. For example, "green is about to drip, green trees are gloomy and floating", and the same color of turquoise is used to express the tranquility of the environment. In the flower moon, "Xiyue is a cloud, and Jade Qing is too much." Even the sky is bright and beautiful. Hundreds of miles away, there are Cui, Dai and Qing * * *, and the dark background creates momentum for depicting the grandeur of the mountain.

There are also unique TINT in Wang Wei's poems, such as red and black. Poets express different emotions through different effects reflected by different contents of two colors. For example, "When the fish's eyes are red, they are black" in "Send the Minister of Chaojian back to Japan", which depicts a relatively strange image through a large area of black and the bright red color of the fish's eyes against the waves, so as to show the unknown danger of Chaojian on his way back to China, which can be described as extremely vivid.

The thick TINT of red and black can also show the poet's heavy mood. "Ten Rhymes of Yan's Visit to Henan" contains "Frost, Residual Snow Belt". The phrase "the ancient wall is covered with moss, and the cold mountain burns red far away" is dotted with a little moss and red far away in the large lighting background such as frost and snow. This light use of heavy colors can show a relatively simple and warm picture. This shows the poet's clear understanding of color expression.

Of course, the poet's use of color has more complicated collocation. The poet once tried to form a unique color image with one tone and other colors as points. For example, in Farewell to Feng Taishou, "Sailing reflects Danyang Guo, Maple Leaves Save Chi 'an Village", the poet consciously gathers red words such as "Dan", "Feng" and "Chi" to give readers a red impression, in which the white color of "Sailing" is particularly bright, which successfully shows the lively scene of Feng Taishou's trip.

Another example is "The grass is white in first frost, the wood is decaying and the moon is bright" in Winter Night Book. Li Yi reflects his face and Zhu Dengzhao. The poet's main tone is "white grass", "restoring frost" and "fahua", which reflects the bright moon and has a strong guiding role in "wood decline" and "face decline", making people feel the helplessness and sadness of the poet lamenting the decline of life. It is lined with warm colors such as "Li Fu" and "Zhu Deng". In the sharp contrast between red and bright clothes, it also reflects the decline of the protagonist. The application of this color-embellishing another color on the basis of a large number of tones, can make the color give people a more vivid visual sense and express the poet's strong feelings.

Wang Wei's poems also use the color of the combination of reality and reality, and * * * feels like painting. In these words, some express the color of things themselves, and some only play the role of color suggestion, but do not express the actual color. For example, "Don't take flowers."
