Chai Lu
Tang Dynasty: 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.
To annotate ...
Luzhai (zhài): "Chai" and "Zhai" are homonyms, a fence. This is a place name.
But: only. Smell: I heard it.
Return to the scenery: the light of sunset. "Scenery" is the same as "shadow" in ancient times.

Brief analysis
This poem creates a deep and bright symbolic realm, which shows the author's sudden enlightenment in the process of deep meditation. Although there is Zen in the poem, it does not resort to discussion and reasoning, and is completely permeated in the vivid description of natural scenery.
Wang Wei is a poet, painter and musician. This poem embodies the combination of poetry, painting and music. Based on the musician's perception of sound, the painter's grasp of light and the poet's refinement of language, it depicts the unique silence and thought-provoking moment of the empty valley people's language and oblique photos.
During the reign of Tang Tianbao, Wang Wei bought Wangchuan's other business at the foot of Zhong Nanshan. Chai Lu is one of Wang Wei's scenic spots in Wangchuan. There are 20 scenic spots in Wangchuan. Wang Wei and his good friend Peidi wrote poems one after another and compiled them into "Wang Chuan Bie Ji". This poem is the fifth.
