(A) Poetry is like a picture scroll, beautiful.
Su Shi once said: "Poetry is like charm, and there are paintings in paintings; Painting is verve, and there is poetry in painting "(Dongpo Zhi Lin). Wang Wei is versatile. He brought the essence of painting into the world of poetry and painted vivid works for us with spiritual language and beautiful brushwork. His landscape poems, such as "An egret flies over a quiet wetland and a mango bird sings in a tree in midsummer" ("Wangchuan Cabin after My Long Rain"), are about coloring and gaining motivation.
Wang Wei's landscape poems pay attention to structural pictures, which are rich in levels, even both dynamic and static, good in sound and color, more dynamic and beautiful in music, such as "a thousand trees touch the sky, a thousand peaks cuckoo crow" After a night in Shan Yu, hundreds of silky waterfalls will appear on every mountain top. Another example is "Mountain in Autumn": "After the rain, the mountains are empty and stand in the autumn night." . The bright moon shed clear light from the cracks and cleared the fountain on the rocks. The bamboo forest is sonorous, the washerwoman returns, and the lotus leaves are swaying to get on the canoe. My friend's prince, what does it matter if spring is over and you are still here? . "There are long-term close-ups, looking up and down, cool and warm colors, as well as human voices and underwater sounds, which fully integrate the beauty of painting, music and poetry. Interest is long and fascinating.
(2) Scenes blend together, just like nature itself.
Wang Wei's landscape poems are picturesque, and many of them are full of affection. Many of Wang Wei's landscape poems are full of strong local flavor and life interest, showing his leisurely life and quiet state of mind. For example, my message to Pei Di from my cabin in Wangchuan said, "The mountain is cold and blue now, and the autumn water has been flowing all day. At the door of my thatched cottage, leaning on my cane, I listened to the cicadas singing in the evening breeze. Sunset lingers at the ferry, and the smoke from supper rises from the house. Oh, when will I make a wish to the great hermit again and sing a wild poem under five willows? Express your quiet and carefree mood in the beautiful scenery and rich pastoral atmosphere. In Wang Wei's poems, scenery is used to express feelings, and scenery is used to set off feelings, which makes his scenery memorable and lyrical. For example, "Notes on Sending Li into Lingao Station": "What is the extreme of sending Li into Lingao Station?" At dusk, the birds return, but the pedestrians move on. "In Wang Wei's poems, many people express their feelings directly, which often appears natural and smooth, with implicit meaning. Such as "Send Yuan 20 An Xi": Weicheng is rainy and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow. Sincerely advise friends to drink a glass of wine, and it is difficult to meet their loved ones when they go out to Yang Guan in the west. Care and consideration are beyond words.
(3) Poetry permeates Zen and is ethereal.
On the contrary, many of Wang Wei's poems are cold and quiet, far away from the world and full of Zen. The artistic conception of mountains and rivers has gone beyond the ordinary natural aesthetics and entered a religious realm, which is the inevitable embodiment of Wang Wei's Buddhist cultivation. In the era when Wang Wei lived, Buddhism flourished, and the literati learned Buddhism very well. Several times of political dissatisfaction and seclusion in his life made Wang Wei concentrate on studying Buddhism in order to despise fame and fortune and get rid of his troubles. There are poems to be found, such as "Crossing Ji Xiang Temple", which says, "I don't know the road of Jixiang Temple, but I can walk for miles in the mountains. At dusk, close to an empty pool, thoughts can conquer the dragon of passion. " Another example is: "When people are idle, osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and the mountains are empty." When the moon rises, birds will be frightened. When the moon rises, it will make a sound in the spring stream. "Everything is silent and inaction, illusory and impermanent, aimless, unconscious, without the joy of life and the sorrow of death, but everything is immortal and eternal, just as Hu Yinglin's poem and Huang's Tang Poetry Express commented: People forget their life experiences after reading, and all thoughts are silent, which does not mean that there is rhythm.
Wang Wei's landscape poem "Autumn Night in the Deep Mountains"
The empty mountains are bathed in a new rain, and feel the early autumn at night.
The bright moon shed clear light from the cracks and cleared the fountain on the rocks.
The bamboo forest is sonorous, the washerwoman returns, and the lotus leaves are swaying to get on the canoe.
Spring spring might as well give it a rest, and the autumn sun can stay on the hills for a long time.
This is a famous work by Wang Wei. The author wrote the autumn moonlit night in such a quiet and vibrant mountain. There is a bright moon in the pine, a clear spring on the stone, returning the soul girl at night, boating fishermen and so on. All of them bring a poetic realm and are vividly depicted. The language of the whole poem is beautiful. Poets write autumn in a fresh and charming way, which is contrary to the sad autumn style. The poet's noble feelings and pursuit of ideal realm are pinned on poetry and painting. This poem expresses the author's longing for carefree mountain life by describing the mountains and rivers. It is one of the representative works of landscape poetry.
Wang Wei's landscape poem Bamboo House
I leaned alone in the dense bamboo, playing the piano and humming a song.
It's too light for anyone to hear, except my partner, Mingyue.
This is a poem describing the leisurely life of a hermit, depicting the leisurely life of a poet sitting alone under the moon playing the piano. The beauty of this poem lies in its natural and simple style, which depicts the fresh and attractive artistic conception of the secluded forest on a moonlit night. The quiet and peaceful night contains the special artistic charm of beauty, making it an eternal masterpiece. Playing the piano and whistling reflects the silence of the bamboo forest on a moonlit night, and the darkness of the deep forest is reflected by the light and shadow of the bright moon. The surface seems dull and seemingly casual, but in fact it is ingenious. The beautiful and elegant artistic conception of the whole poem conveys the poet's quiet and indifferent state of mind.
Wang Wei's Landscape Poems: Chai Lu
No one can be seen in the silent valley, only the voice is heard.
The shadow of the sunset shone into the depths of the forest, and the scenery on the moss was pleasant.
Chai Lu is one of the representative works of Wang Wei's landscape poems, and it was his work when he lived in seclusion in Wangchuan. This poem depicts the quiet scenery of the empty mountains and deep forests near Chai Lu in the evening, which is full of the realm of painting and reflects the poet's love for nature and boredom with earthly officialdom. The first sentence is more common, but after "there seems to be no one on the empty mountain", it is followed by "but I think I heard a voice", which is unexpected. One or two words are empty and silent; Then three or four sentences are about fighting darkness with light. The whole poem is like adding a little warm color to most cool pictures, which makes the impression of cool color more prominent.
