Dynasty: Tang Dynasty

Author: Wang Wei

Original text:

Please have a drink with your horse and ask your friend where you are going.

You said you would go back to Zhongnanshan because you were not proud of your life.

Just left, I want to ask again, look at the white clouds floating.

Farewell appreciation;

This is the first poem to send a friend into seclusion. It tells the reason why a friend lives in seclusion by asking and answering questions, and also shows the poet's complicated thoughts and feelings. The poet's concern and love for his friends not only comforted his friends, but also expressed envy for their retirement, which showed that the poet was not satisfied with his reality.

The language of the whole poem seems unremarkable, but the last two sentences add poetry, which can be described as shallow words and deep feelings, containing endless meanings.

Brief introduction of Wang Wei:

Wang Wei (70 1 -76 1), whose real name is Mojie, whose real name is Shi Fo and whose real name is Vimalakīrti. Vimalakīrti is a layman of Mahayana Buddhism, a famous bodhisattva at home, and his free translation is famous for its cleanliness and pollution-free.

It can be seen that his name has an indissoluble bond with Buddhism. Before his death, people thought that Wang Wei was a "contemporary poet and Zen master". After his death, he got the title of "Shi Fo".

He was born in a devout Buddhist family. According to Wang Wei's "Please Make Shizhuang a Temple Appearance", "Cui Shi, the late mother of Boling County, studied as a teacher for more than 30 years, eating brown clothes and vegetables, practicing meditation, enjoying living in the mountains and seeking peace."

Wang Wei was influenced by his mother since childhood. At the same time, according to Volume 25 of Notes of Wang Youcheng, there is an article "Taming, a Daoguang Zen Master of Dadianfu Temple", which describes the relationship between the poet and a famous Buddhist monk and Daoguang Zen Master: "After ten years of meditation, it can be seen that Wang Wei is really closely related to Buddhism and lived a monk-like life in his later years. According to the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty: "In the capital, I was taught to wear no clothes in Changzhai, and I wanted to measure vanity with tiny details, so I just wanted to know where the relic was. "

Cai, a dozen monks have a meal every day. They enjoy mysterious conversations. There is nothing in their den but a teapot and mortar, and they are tied to the bed by boxes. After retiring from the DPRK, he burned incense and sat alone, taking Zen as his career. "This time, Wang Wei is like a monk.
