In the distance, there is a quiet village lying on the hillside. The scattered eaves and corners are tilted under the shade of green trees, and a wisp of kitchen smoke rises between them. Living in a simple and hard environment like Yan Hui, living next door to noble scholars like Tao Qian. The core of Wang Wei's poetic aesthetics is the word "Jing", which is exactly the word in this poem. His tranquility is not to write about the tranquility of the environment blindly, but to express the tranquility of his own mind.
This poem shows the pastoral life and natural scenery of Wangchuan from different angles, and profoundly and beautifully expresses the poet's attitude towards life and spiritual realm. Writing Wangchuan's other trades in the form of group poems pays attention not to the description of external scenery, but to the expression of inner spiritual life, which is precisely the most remarkable feature of Wang Wei's landscape poems. Because writing about mountains and rivers is not about mountains and rivers, but about expressing one's ambition through mountains and rivers.
Wang Wei:
Wang Wei's talent appeared very early, and his younger brother Wang Jin, who is one year younger than him, was very clever in his childhood. At the age of fifteen, he went to Beijing to take an exam. Because he can write good poems, be good at calligraphy and painting, and have a talent for music, Wang Wei, a teenager, immediately became the darling of princes and nobles in Beijing. As for his talent in music, a supplement to Tang Shi once told a story: once, a man got a painting to play music, but he didn't know why he was named after it.
After becoming an official, Wang Wei used his leisure time in officialdom to build a villa at the foot of the South Blue Sky Mountain in Beijing to cultivate his self-cultivation. The owner of this villa is Song Wenzhi, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty. This is a very vast place, with mountains and lakes, Woods and valleys, and some houses scattered among them. Wang Wei and his intimate friends live a leisurely life and live a semi-official and semi-secluded life.
