On the contrary, 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. Wang Wei lived in an era when Buddhism flourished. Scholar-officials learning Buddhism is very popular. 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.
Some poems can be traced back, such as Crossing Ji Xiang Temple: I don't know the way to Jixiang Temple, but I wander under the mountains and clouds for miles. In the evening, come to the empty pool and meditate quietly to suppress the dragon. "Some poems are ethereal, without Zen, but also with Zen. Like a gazelle, there is no trace. For example, I will walk until the river blocks my way, then sit down and look at the rising clouds. One day, I met an old woodcutter, laughing and never coming back (I was in the seclusion of Zhongnanshan), and the wind blew my belt, and my pipa was as bright as the mountains and the moon. You ask me good or bad luck? Listen, there is a fisherman singing on the lake! (Answer to Deputy Governor Yin Zhang) It is full of Zen machines that are close to nature, body, materialization and fate. Another example: there seems to be no one on the empty mountain, but I think I heard a voice.
Sunlight enters the grove and reflects to me from the green moss (Chai Lu)
People are idle, osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and empty. When the moon comes out, the birds are startled, and the sound enters the spring stream. ("Birding Creek")
Everything is silent and inaction, illusory and impermanent, aimless, unconscious, without joy in life and sorrow in death, but everything is immortal and eternal, as Hu Yinglin's poem and Huang's Tang Poetry "Expression" commented: It makes people "forget their life experience after reading, and all thoughts are silent, which does not mean that there is such a wonderful interpretation in the melody". "
Thirdly, the influence of Wang Wei's landscape poems on later generations.
Wang Wei's landscape poems are mostly written in the later period. Compared with his predecessors, he expanded the content of this kind of poetry and added its artistic style, which made the achievements of landscape poetry reach an unprecedented height. This is his outstanding contribution to China's classical poetry. Among them, the pastoral poems describing rural scenery and farm life are full of pastoral sentiment, showing his leisurely interest and calm and comfortable state of mind. Such as farmhouses on the Wei River and pastoral songs in spring. More works focus on the picturesque scenery of the countryside, "New Sunny Wild Hope": "The new sunny Yuan Ye is vast and has no atmosphere. There are no idle people on the farm and the home is in the south. " Autumn Night in the Deep Mountains describes the beautiful scenery of the mountain village when it rains at dusk. Those landscape poems in Wang's poems that depict the beauty of natural tranquility have high aesthetic value. Such as Qingxi:
I sailed the Huanghua River, every stream. 10,000 laps over the mountains. On a journey of less than thirty miles. The rapids buzzed on the piled rocks, but the light dimmed among the dense pine trees. There is no water in the water, and weeds are flourishing on the shore. Deep down in my heart, I have always been pure, Qingchuan Dansuo. Oh, stay on a wide flat rock and cast the fishing line forever! .
Throughout, the heart shines on the water, the heart is lined with the water, and things and I blend, which embodies an inherent pursuit of beauty. While some pastoral poems focus on rendering ethereal artistic conception and lonely feelings. For example, "Zhu" and "Zhu" are both weak points, aiming at quietness and interest. This will undoubtedly have a certain negative impact on later landscape poems.
Wang Wei is brilliant, and the infiltration of different arts has had a far-reaching impact on his poems. He put painting into poetry, which made his landscape poems poetic.
The language of Wang's poems is implicit, fresh and lively, with varied sentence patterns and rhythms, loud and harmonious phonology and musical beauty.
In a word, Wang Wei's landscape poems have a far-reaching influence on later generations, both in subject matter and artistic style.
Wang Wei's name and words are taken from the Vimalakīrti Classic. He lived as an official, a hermit and a layman all his life. After An Lushan was trapped in Beijing, Wang Wei was once a fake official, which was a political disgrace. Wang Wei's achievements in poetry are various, whether it is frontier poems or quatrains. There are excellent works spread to the crowd. Most of his frontier poems can express the heroic spirit of soldiers who defend their territory to the death with impassioned emotions. His landscape poems inherited Xie Lingyun's tradition, but did not have Xie's obscure shortcomings. They are varied, have different styles and emotional appeal, describe all kinds of natural scenery, and have achieved high attainments.
