Crazy hope
Tang Dynasty: Wang Ji
Looking at the dusk in Gaodong, I want to rely on it.
Trees are all autumn colors, and mountains are only sparkling.
The shepherd brought the calf back, hunted horses and brought birds back.
Care for no acquaintances, Long song pregnant with Cai Wei.
At night, I stood in Gaodong and looked into the distance. I hesitated, not knowing which direction to go. Layers of trees are stained with autumn colors, and heavy mountains cover the afterglow of the sunset.
The shepherd drove the cattle home, and the hunter galloped past me with his prey. We don't know each other and have nothing to say. I want to stay in this place all my life.

After Wang Ji retired, Wang Ye, a five-character poem, depicts a leisurely Shan Ye and Qiu Jingtu, expressing the author's own faint hesitation and anguish, which is Wang Ji's masterpiece.
The main idea of the poem is this: standing in the thin twilight, the poet wandered around bored, and the trees in front of him showed gorgeous autumn colors, which looked bleak and lonely in the afterglow of the sunset. Herdsmen drive sheep or cows home, and hunters on horseback walk home with their harvest.
Looking back and forth, I found that no one I knew was familiar with, so I had to recite the poems in Picking Wei to pass this lonely time.
Gaodong is the hometown of Wang Ji's seclusion. "Moving" is interpreted as drifting, which is used in Cao Cao's "Short Songs". The implication of "three turns around the tree, what branches can you lean on" shows the poet's boring and lonely mood.
The next four sentences describe the scenery the author saw when he stood at dusk. As the sun sets, people who come home in late autumn are full of greetings and laughter. Everything looks leisurely and harmonious. This Qiu Jingtu is colorful, far and near, moving and quiet, which makes people fascinated, as if they were there.
But "all scenery is sentimental", the poet's mood is lonely, so the scenery he saw was covered with a layer of depression and loss.
Although Wang Ji imitated Tao Yuanming everywhere, he was fond of mountains and rivers, addicted to alcohol, and wrote the biography of Mr. Wu Dou. Before he died, he studied Tao Yuanming and wrote an epitaph for himself.
But his recluse mentality is different from that of Tao Yuanming. Mr. Wu Liu's joy of "picking chrysanthemums under the hedge and seeing Nanshan leisurely" is completely absent from Wang Ji. Tao Yuanming devoted himself to the field and immersed himself in the fun of farming life. Neither did he. Wang Ji's seclusion is excellent, and his pastoral scenery is just an ornament and sustenance when he is bored.
He couldn't find comfort in the countryside like Tao Yuanming, so he "cared for each other and didn't know each other, and Long song was pregnant with Wei". Perhaps in The Book of Songs Zhao Nan Cao Cao, "I admire Nanshan, I admire her." It's sad to see a gentleman, which probably summarizes the poet's sadness of lacking a confidant at that time.
Wang Ji's poems have no flowery words, but they are simple and natural, which makes people applaud. The poet stood in the twilight, and the scenery he saw came to his face one by one, simple as vernacular, but interesting. The emotion at the end of the article will come naturally, without the feeling of carving and piling up.
This simple beauty of nature has broken the powder and vulgarity left by the "gorgeous and gorgeous" poems in the Southern Dynasties, just like a village girl wearing a cloth skirt, which is refreshing. This is the charm of Wild Hope.
Rhyme was brewed in the period of Qi Yong in the Southern Dynasty, and was shaped in Shen Quanqi and Song in the early Tang Dynasty. Wang Ji wrote this mature poem more than 60 years before Shen Song, which shows that Wang Ji is a man who dares to try new forms.
A careful analysis of the genre structure of this poem reveals that its beginning and end are connected with lyricism, and the middle is connected with scenery. The whole poem presents a kind of repeated beauty of "emotion-scene-emotion", which further deepens the artistic conception of the poem, and the composition is completely consistent with the metrical poem. For this reason, Wang Ji is highly regarded as the founder of five-character poems, and its important position in the history of poetry is self-evident.
