Whole poem
Chai Lu
[Tang] Wang Wei
No one can be seen in the silent valley, only the voice is heard.
The shadow of the sunset shone into the depths of the forest, and the scenery on the moss was pleasant.
translate
In the lonely mountain forest
There was no sign of anyone across the street,
Only heard.
The voice of human speech.
A beam of white light,
Through the silence deep in the forest,
stay
Green moss.
Distinguish and appreciate
Amin poet Li Mengyang said: "Wang Wei's poems are like Zen" (Confucius) Zen is a school of Buddhism. It is a quiet religion, the essence of which is to get rid of the depression of reality and find a psychological balance. No doctrine, no prayer for God, emphasizing that "the heart is the Buddha". Its cultivation method is like qigong, which grasps the true meaning of the universe through meditation, eliminating distractions and intuitive epiphany. The whole secret lies in being close to nature and "witnessing the existence of Tao" (a term copied from Zhuangzi by Song people). Zen enlightenment is often triggered by looking at the mountains and water-enlightenment is a kind of inner feeling that clouds are clear, the light is clear, the burden is put down, and it is extremely light and pleasant. "That makes sense, but I have forgotten what I said when I wanted to distinguish." This kind of enlightenment cannot be explained by reason, but can be implied by the realm, that is, the perceptual picture with aesthetic significance, so that we can find our own "language" in the works of poets such as Wang Wei and Si Kongtu.
Chai Lu is deep in Wangchuan, named after deer. "Chai Lu" describes the scenery of this deep mountain forest at sunset, and at the same time shows the poet's enlightened state of mind.
The "emptiness" of "empty mountain" does not mean desolation. The meaning of "not seeing anyone" lies in the next sentence "however, I think I heard a voice" The word "Dan Wen" once again emphasizes the silence of the mountains. Although there is no one at ordinary times, the mountain forest is not dead. There are always some so-called "sounds of heaven" such as insects, birds, underwater sound and bamboo rhyme, which will not be so quiet. The "human voice" heard here is not a noisy sound, nor a long whistle, but an occasional hollow sound. "Nirvana Sutra": "Like the sound of a mountain stream, a fool calls it true, but a wise man knows it is not true." Suddenly, it broke the silence and returned to it, making the environment in Chai Lu even colder and more mysterious. Silence is synaesthesia to vision, and vision is darkness. The poet went on to say that he should focus on describing the situation that there is no sunshine in the depths of the forest, but he chose the moment when the light passes through the dense forest and the afterglow is covered by moss to describe the darkness, and the effect is doubled: the weak light forms a strong contrast with the boundless darkness, highlighting the darkness in the depths of the forest; And this light is fleeting, followed by a longer darkness.
The expression of natural beauty is extremely rich. Colorful, warm and bright, is of course a kind of beauty; Colchicine cold mountain, silence and darkness, isn't it a kind of beauty! Silent, dull and dark, people are easier to detect; Silence is better than sound, darkness is better than light, and less people pay attention to it. And the rhythm of nature is just the opposite of this opposite. The scenery in Chai Lu should be different at four o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the evening. Only by grasping the moment when the sunset is full and long, can the poet be particularly profound and original.
The most common voice, appearing in the silent empty mountain, has unusual significance; The most ordinary sunlight, when it penetrates deep into the forest, will produce a very wonderful feeling. And the sudden sound of breaking the silence and the sudden appearance of the candle shadow are not perfect symbols of awakening and being suddenly enlightened? "Chai Lu" really describes the poet's inner experience of getting fruits when quietly observing nature.
