This paper discusses the artistic characteristics of Wang Wei's poems in combination with his poems such as Autumn in the Mountains.
First, poetry always contains Zen thoughts. Second, painting and poetry are organically integrated. Third, it contains the beauty of life. Most of Wang Wei's pastoral poems depict the natural beauty, but at the same time, they reveal the leisure interest in the leisure life. He especially likes to show the realm of peace and tranquility. Some of his works are bleak or lonely, showing indifference to reality and even Zen thoughts and feelings. There are less than 400 poems by Wang Wei. Among them, the most representative of his creative characteristics is the description of natural scenery such as mountains, rivers and pastoral areas, and poems that recite seclusion. Wang Wei's high achievements in describing natural scenery made him unique in the poetry circle in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and became the representative of the pastoral poetry school. He inherited and developed the tradition of writing landscape poems initiated by Xie Lingyun, and absorbed the freshness and naturalness of Tao Yuanming's landscape pastoral poems, which made the achievements of landscape pastoral poems reach a peak, thus occupying an important position in the history of China's poetry. Together with Meng Haoran, he is a representative figure of the pastoral poetry school in Tang Dynasty.
