In autumn, the top of the mountain holds a half-round setting sun, leaving only a touch of afterglow.

Author
Wang Wei (71-761), a famous poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, whose official rank was Shang Shu You Cheng, was originally from Qi (now Qixian County, Shanxi Province), moved to Puzhou (now Yongji, Shanxi Province), believed in Buddhism, and lived in Wangchuan Villa in Lantian in his later years, a Han nationality. Good at painting figures, bamboos and landscapes. There are two landscapes recorded by the Tang people: one is similar to the Li and his son, and the other is painted by the ink-breaking method, and his masterpiece Wangchuan Villa is the latter. Unfortunately, no original works have been handed down from generation to generation. The Snow Stream Map and the Fu Sheng Xiang in Jinan, which are passed down to him, are not original works. Su Shi commented that "there is a painting in the poem; Watch the painting, there are poems in the painting. " He is a representative of the landscape pastoral school in Tang Dynasty. Kaiyuan Jinshi He served as an official such as Da Lecheng and You Shiyi. When An Lushan rebelled, he was forced to assume a pseudo-post.
His achievements in poetry and painting are very high. Su Dongpo praised him for "painting in poetry and poetry in painting", especially for his achievements in landscape poetry. Together with Meng Haoran, he was called "Wang Meng". In his later years, he had no intention of official career and devoted himself to serving the Buddha, so later generations called him "Shi Fo". There is a saying that "Li Bai is a genius, Du Fu is a local talent and Wang Wei is a talent". Wang Wei is not only recognized as Shi Fo, but also the master of literati painting in Nanshan (Qian Zhongshu called him "the number one painter in the prosperous Tang Dynasty"), and he is proficient in temperament. Is a rare all-rounder
Wang Weishi was famous both before and after his death. History says that it is "famous in Kaiyuan and Tianbao, and the noble heroes are vain to meet them, and the kings of Ning and Xue treat them as teachers and friends" (the book of the New Tang Dynasty). Tang Daizong once praised it as "the literate sect in the world" ("Answering Wang Jin's imperial edict to Wang Wei's Collection"). Du Fu also called him "the most beautiful sentence with a full atlas" (Eight of Twelve Poems in Jieboredom). Yin Kun said: "Uygur poetry is elegant and elegant, with new ideas and ideas. It is a pearl in the spring and a painting on the wall. Every word is out of the ordinary." At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Si Kongtu praised it as "interesting and clear, if clear and penetrating" ("Comment on Poetry with Wang Jia"). In the past, people once praised Wang Wei as "Shi Fo" and compared him with Du Fu, a poet sage, and Li Bai, a poet immortal. In terms of ideological content, Wang Wei's poems are far from being compared with Li and Du Fu. In terms of art, Wang Wei did have his unique achievements and contributions. The poems of Liu Changqing in Tang Dynasty, ten gifted scholars in Dali period, Yao He, Jia Dao and others were all influenced by Wang Wei to varying degrees. Until the Qing Dynasty, Wang Shi-marked the charm, in fact, his poems were also regarded as the worship. However, this school of poetry is often sentimental and lacks social content.
Appreciation
When observing the scenery, Wang Wei pays special attention to the capture of the light and color of the scenery. It is through the flickering and rapidly changing wonderful scenery of birds, Shan Lan and colorful Cui in the sunset photos that he expresses the deep Zen that everything is born and died in an instant, impermanent and unreal.
