Wang Wei said: you can't lose your rice bowl, nor can you lose poetry and distance.

The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty that admired poetry, and many great poets held high positions by virtue of their excellent literary talent.

Gao Shi served as the secretariat of Pengzhou, assistant minister of punishments, and ambassador of Huainan, and was both civil and military. There are also poets who served as prime ministers, such as Zhang Jiuling, who was appointed general secretary of China Academy of Sciences.

Bai Juyi's secretariat of Hangzhou, Cen Can's secretariat of Jiazhou and Liu Zongyuan's secretariat of Liuzhou. Although he is not a government official, he is also the local chief executive.

The most scenic spot is He, the champion of senior three. Later, he served as assistant minister of rites and assistant minister of industry, and was sent off by the emperor when he returned home.

Compared with them, Du Li's political career is very bumpy.

Although Li Bai was invited to the palace and was in the Imperial Academy, he experienced the imperial concubine learning ink, and Lux took off his boots, but he finally missed the officialdom.

Du Fu lived in Chang 'an for ten years, but he was only the minister of the Ministry of Industry, so he was called "Du Gongbu". Finally, he resigned because of the filth of officialdom and lived in a thatched cottage in Chengdu.

Looking at the great poets in the Tang Dynasty, some people were promoted and made a fortune, while others resigned and retired. Only Wang Wei is a special case. His literary talent is flying, but it is not reused. He was angry at the corrupt officialdom, but he gave up his career.

Only Wang Wei, who is not dissolute and does not go with the flow, has a decent job and can enjoy inner peace.

Wei Wang seems to be the man of the hour in today's workplace, so how did he do it?

Wang Wei is a very talented person. /kloc-When he was 0/7 years old, he wrote a textbook-level poem like "I miss my brothers in Shandong on vacation in the mountains".

On literariness alone, Wang Wei's poems are comparable to Li Bai's.

For example, both of them wrote thoughts, and Li Bai wrote:

Wang Wei wrote:

Both of them wrote Farewell, and Li Bai wrote:

Wang Wei wrote:

Although Li Bai is now far more famous than Wang Wei, his contemporaries think that Wang Wei, Wang Changling and Chu Guangxi are the representatives of Kaiyuan and Tianbao poetry circles.

Even in later generations, many people privately prefer Wang Wei, who is full of literati breath.

Wang Wei's evaluation is higher not only because of his poems, but also because he is more in line with the public aesthetic.

After all, in reality, we are facing leaders. Who dares to "call the son of heaven without boarding the ship, claiming that I am Brewmaster"?

In the face of the poor people affected by the disaster, a few people can ruin their homes and solve problems. "There are thousands of spacious buildings in a safe place, and all the poor people in the world are smiling. Suddenly seeing this house, I can freeze to death alone. "

Li Bai and Du Fu may only be regarded as the commanding heights of culture, but ordinary people in the world of mortals in later generations can worship, look up and bend their knees to people like Du Li, but they dare not talk to each other.

Therefore, we gave them the immortal title of poet. In contrast, Wang Wei's poems rarely write about the whole world and rarely degenerate. Reading Wang Wei's poems is not awe-inspiring, but he always feels more cordial, as if he were an elegant brother, and occasionally tells interesting stories in life.

Compared with Li Bai and Du Fu, Wang Wei's talent is more comprehensive, reaching new heights in the fields that ancient literati can master. His paintings, music and Zen are almost as famous as his poems.

Generally speaking, talented people are confident and conceited, such as Li Bai. But Wang Wei's character and talent are far from each other.

He is a very slouched wit. He was timid, cautious and aloof all his life, but he didn't want to give up and dared not fight.

The formation of this character is related to his family environment.

He is the eldest son of the family. When I was a child, my father died, leaving a few siblings, and I needed him to shoulder the burden of the family very early. /kloc-When he was 0/5 years old, he took his younger brother Wang Jin, who was one year younger than him, to travel to the Imperial City. With his talent, he soon became the darling of Beijing princes and nobles.

Unfortunately, bad luck happened to coincide with the "strike hard" period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. In order to consolidate the imperial power and weaken the brothers' power, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty issued a "Forbidden King Order" to prohibit the prince from making friends with ministers.

However, before becoming an official, Wang Wei was the guest of the King of Qi and Wang Xue, which just poked the hidden pain of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, so he never got the favor of the emperor.

Although during Zhang Jiuling's tenure as prime minister, Wang Wei got a position of right gleaning, which was very exciting for a period of time. However, with Li's coming to power, Zhang Jiuling was demoted and his light went out.

He is a man with right and wrong in his heart, but he doesn't dare to confront openly. Zhang Jiuling was forced out of the imperial court, and Wang Wei wrote poems to Zhang to express his gratitude.

During Li's ten years in power, Wang Wei was still his dispensable sesame official. It is not that he has no chance of promotion. Yuan Xian, a confidant of Li, once said that if Wang Wei was interested in joining the forest, he could help with the operation.

However, Wang Wei refused in a rather tactful way. He said in a poem "Return to Yuan Xian": "Xian Lang intends to pity his family, and the Prime Minister unselfishly sweeps the door." On the surface, he praised Li's selflessness and forbade to enter through the back door, but in essence, he and Li were not on the same side and disdained to go to muddy water. This incident illustrates Wang Wei's bottom line.

However, since he despises what Li has done, why not just resign?

Didn't Wang Wei always yearn for rural life? Why didn't he learn from Tao Yuanming and resign and retire?

In fact, at the age of 26, Wang Wei already had the desire to retire. Just like today's young people want to retire early, but they are afraid to go to naked resignation. After some weighing, Wang Wei finally denied Tao Yuanming's lifestyle.

After all, his father died young and his eldest son succeeded him. He can't bear to escape the burden of family life. He said in the poem: "My little sister grew up, but my brother didn't get married. The family is poor and poor, and the savings are unknown. Therefore, "I want to fly hard several times, and I want to take care of each other several times." I dare not let go of this burden and live alone.

He also criticized Tao Yuanming, arguing that Tao did not bow down for five buckets of rice, but fulfilled his courage and dignity, but left his family in extreme poverty. In fact, it was an irresponsible selfish act purely for myself.

Therefore, even if Wang Wei painfully endured the connivance of the imperial court, he dared not imitate Tao Yuanming's living style.

He smells too much of fireworks. Although he has an immortal heart of seclusion, he is always so grounded and plays his social role carefully.

After middle age, I have no intention of official career, and staying in officialdom is purely for salary and family responsibilities. Being in the imperial court and having a heart in the countryside is a semi-official and semi-hidden life.

In addition to the present, Wang Wei began to look for his own poems and distant places.

This is Wangchuan Villa, a temporary place to escape from reality and the online world.

Wang Wei's Wangchuan Villa is located in Wangchuan, about 5 kilometers southwest of Lantian County, Shaanxi Province. There is only one ginkgo tree planted by Wang Wei.

In his spare time or vacation, he returned to Wangchuan, indulging in pastoral landscapes, and wrote "The birds are startled when the moon rises, and the spring stream rings when it arrives" and "There is no rain on the mountain road, and the air is green and wet."

After the world was filtered, he released his soul.

In addition to unparalleled talent, people dare not compliment Wei.

He didn't dare to love and hate Li Bai, nor did he worry about Du Fu's country and people.

However, he provided a gentle and peaceful lifestyle for future generations.

An ordinary person doesn't want to ignore the bottom line, mix fine, be cynical and violent.

Wang Wei set such an example. You can't lose your job, you can't lose your poetry, you can't lose your distance.
