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.
-Wang Wei's Autumn Night in the Deep Mountains
Wang Wei is one of the representatives of the landscape poetry school in Tang Dynasty, with about 400 poems handed down from generation to generation in his life. His poems can not only describe the magnificent scenery in general, but also the dynamics of natural scenery in detail, and the artistic conception of his poems is perfect and harmonious. No wonder Su Dongpo, a master of the Song Dynasty, praised: "There are paintings in the poems of the late Wei Dynasty (Wang Weizi), and there are poems in the paintings." (Dongpo Zhi Lin) is poetic. Similarly, after reading "Autumn Night in a Mountain Residence", I feel fresh, quiet and charming. Perhaps this is the reason why his poems can be passed down through the ages.
The poem's first couplet explains the season (autumn), time (night), place (mountain village) and weather (after rain), points out the theme and sets the tone for the description of the scenery in the whole poem in time, space and color. The word "empty mountain" is meaningful. In the author's other poems, he once wrote "Deep Mountain": There is no one in the ancient wood, and now I hear a bell on the height; I also wrote "Cold Mountain": the mountain is now blue with cold, and autumn water is flowing; I even wrote "Autumn Mountain": Autumn Mountain gathers many photos, and birds chase their predecessors. But it is very different. The "empty mountain" written here means the "quietness" rising at night at the beginning of the month, which comes from "the night is quiet and the spring mountain is empty" (Birds in the Stream). Therefore, the artistic conception of "empty mountain" is very different from that of "deep mountain", "cold mountain" and "autumn mountain". Besides, after the new rain, the dust and filth are washed away, and the sultry heat at the turn of summer and autumn is also washed away. It is quite refreshing, fresh and quiet to read. The couplets then reveal a very peaceful and beautiful artistic conception in words with extremely accurate images. A bright moon in the sky sprinkled its clear silver light on the pine forest. On the silent earth, the sound of water is gurgling, and the clear spring reflects the moonlight and slowly flows away on the bluestone board. Among them, the word "Zhao" vividly shows the swaying scene of the forest shadow, while the word "Liu" shows that the spring water has a strong sense of rhythm, is loud and sonorous, and is full of vitality when read. Third, it is also interesting to write about scenery and people: there were bursts of laughter from the bamboo forest, which turned out to be a group of women who came home late from work; In the quiet lotus leaf, the lotus suddenly shakes and the water ripples. It turned out that the fishing boat crossed the lotus leaf lightly against the moonlight. Introduce the artistic conception of poetry into another realm: there are scenes and people; The tranquility in the movement reflects the tranquility of the mountain village. Couplets turn from scenery description to lyricism, from external objects to the heart, and point out the theme of the poem: Although the gorgeous and bright spring scenery has disappeared, as long as Tao Qing still loves nature, the mountains and rivers and the autumn night still belong to me. Isn't this emotional beauty worth nostalgia? If others don't want to stay, "Wang Sun" (referring to Wang Wei himself) naturally wants to "stay". The implication is that the poet yearns for seclusion, which makes the author feel disheartened about the social and political darkness at that time. Only by retiring from the mountains can Tao's natural state of mind be hidden. This is the main content of Wang Wei's poems, which exposes the darkness of social politics by expressing feelings for mountains and rivers. Therefore, reading his landscape poems, most of them have the same feeling, that is, winning with fresh and beautiful artistic conception and endless aftertaste.
Artist Rodin said: "A beautiful landscape painting makes people move, not only because it makes people feel comfortable, but also because it evokes ideas." Therefore, reading Wang Wei's poems can not only appreciate the beauty of mountains and rivers, the beauty of nature, but also the beauty of people. The author writes about how bright and clean nature is, which mainly reflects the darkness and filth of social reality, and writes about the peace and harmony of mountain villages, which is in sharp contrast with the struggle for power and profit in officialdom. From this, I showed my thoughts of being above worldly customs and keeping an honest and clean life. This is the beauty of human nature.
Wang Wei's poetry is not only like a quiet and beautiful lyric music, but also like a fresh and beautiful landscape painting.
Judging from the composition of Autumn Night in a Mountain, on a quiet night in an empty mountain after a new rain, the bright moon shines among pines, reflecting the moonlight, leaving a deep impression on readers. Judging from the patchwork and flexible sentence patterns, it greatly enhances the sense of hierarchy, movement and silence of the picture. "Moonlight in the pine forest" is static, "Crystal stone in the stream" is dynamic, but the lens is from far to near, or from near to far, with distinct layers; "The Laundry Maid Returns to Bamboo" is about the dynamic sound, while "The Lotus Leaves Leave Before the Fishing Boat" is about the silent dynamic. One is about "on the shore": from far and near, from hidden to obvious, and the other is about "underwater": from near and far, from obvious to hidden, vivid and lifelike, dynamic and static, static and dynamic, full of truth and intensity. Syntactically, the couplet "Moonlight in the pine forest, crystal stone in the stream" is a subject-predicate structure, which is very dynamic and gives people room for imagination. From the shaping process of artistic conception, the whole poem is the fusion of sound, light, color and state (spring sound, laughter; Moonlight, watery light; Pine, bamboo, stone and lotus; The moonlight shines in spring, and people return to the boat), but the color is not rich, the sound is not noisy, there are no gorgeous words, few strange words and no traces of carving. Appropriate shades, dense and poetic. This is Wang Wei's unique artistic technique.
In a word, the artistic conception created by Wang Wei's poems gives people a sense of beauty. No matter from the selection of scenery, the use of language, composition technique or calligraphy emotion, his poems always give people a feeling of profound artistic conception and interesting. Just as we are in the autumn night in the deep mountains, we can smell the refreshing fragrance of turpentine, bamboo leaves and lotus flowers in the warm air from the limited scenery description. We can also imagine the elegant Lotus House, with glittering and translucent water drops rolling on the lotus leaves, sparkling, the graceful figure of fishing boats swaying and the sound of paddling in front of fishing boats. ...
