Don? Wang Wei
In the past, Zhu Yan became a twilight tooth, and his white hair drooped in an instant.
How many sad things there are in life, don't sell them to the empty city.

The first two sentences of the poem were written when it was painful. "Yesterday" and "a moment" both describe a short time; "Bow" refers to children. These two sentences mean that human life is extremely short. In the blink of an eye, the teenager's hair turned white, and in an instant, the old man became a child after death. Wang Wei believes in Buddhism and afterlife reincarnation. Even so, he is still full of regrets and contradictions about life: on the one hand, he believes that people will be young after death; On the other hand, he saw that time flies, life is getting old and his ideals are shattered, but there is nothing he can do. He had to feel regret and disappointment.
The sentence "How many sad things are there in this life, don't sell them to an empty net" is written about the negative thoughts under this emotion. "Empty Gate" refers to Buddhism. According to Buddhist teachings, everything in the world is empty, and empty dharma is the door of nirvana, so it is called empty door. There are too many sad things in life, and only by converting to Buddhism can we get rid of them. Wang Wei had a rough life in his early years and had positive political ambitions, hoping to make a career, but later he gradually became depressed because of the changeable political situation. He was born in a Buddhist family and was deeply influenced by Buddhist thought. When his ideal was shattered, this thought became his dominant thought. He believes that all kinds of troubles in life can only be rid of by Buddhist philosophy of emptiness.
Extended reading: a brief introduction to Wang Wei
Wang Wei (70 1 -76 1, 699 -76 1) was born in Zhou Pu, Hedong (now Yuncheng, Shanxi), and his ancestral home was Qixian, Shanxi. Poets and painters in the Tang Dynasty were called "Wang Meng" and "Shi Fo" together with Meng Haoran.
In the 19th year of Kaiyuan (73 1), Wang Wei was the first scholar. Li Guan right gleaned, supervised the remonstrance, and made our time in Hexi. During the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei worshipped the official department as a doctor and servant. When An Lushan captured Chang 'an, he was forced to assume a false post. After Chang 'an was recovered, he was accused of granting Prince Zhongyun. Wang Wei is a Zen master, learning Taoism and proficient in poetry, books, paintings and music. His poems are famous for Kaiyuan and Tianbao, praising landscapes and pastoral areas. Later generations praised him as the ancestor of Nanzong landscape painting.
Wang Wei had positive political ambitions in his early years, hoping to make a great career. Later, the political situation changed, and he gradually became depressed, fasting and chanting Buddha. In his forties, he deliberately built a villa in Wangchuan, Lantian County, southeast of Chang 'an, and lived a semi-official and semi-secluded life on Zhong Nanshan Mountain. A Message from a Farewell to Wangchuan is a chapter in the poet's seclusion life. Its main content is "expressing ambition", which expresses the poet's desire to stay away from the secular and continue to live in seclusion. The scenery in the poem is not deliberately laid out, natural and fresh, as if it is handy, and the distant place is self-evident and has profound connotations.
Wang Wei's achievements in poetry are various, including frontier poems, landscape poems, metrical poems and quatrains.
Extended reading: the influence of Wang Wei's poems
Wang Wei's landscape poems are mostly written in the later period. Compared with his predecessors, he expanded the content of this kind of poetry and added its artistic style, which made the achievements of landscape poetry reach an unprecedented height. This is his outstanding contribution to China's classical poetry. Among them, the pastoral poems describing rural scenery and farm life are full of pastoral sentiment, showing his leisurely interest and calm and comfortable state of mind. Such as farmhouses on the Wei River and pastoral songs in spring. More works focus on the picturesque scenery of the countryside, "New Sunny Wild Hope": "The new sunny Yuan Ye is vast and has no atmosphere. There are no idle people on the farm and the home is in the south. " Autumn Night in the Deep Mountains describes the beautiful scenery of the mountain village when it rains at dusk. Those landscape poems in Wang's poems that depict the beauty of natural tranquility have high aesthetic value. Such as "Qingxi": I once drove the river of yellow flowers and chased Qingxi water first. 10,000 laps over the mountains. On a journey of less than thirty miles. The rapids buzzed on the piled rocks, but the light dimmed among the dense pine trees. There is no water in the water, and weeds are flourishing on the shore. Deep down in my heart, I have always been pure, Qingchuan Dansuo. Oh, stay on a wide flat rock and cast the fishing line forever! .
Throughout, the heart shines on the water, the heart is lined with the water, and things and I blend, which embodies an inherent pursuit of beauty. While some pastoral poems focus on rendering ethereal artistic conception and lonely feelings. For example, Zhuliguan and Wu Xinyi are all weak, and they are designed to be quiet and interesting. This will undoubtedly have a certain negative impact on later landscape poems.
Wang Wei is brilliant, and the infiltration of different arts has had a far-reaching impact on his poems. He put painting into poetry, which made his landscape poems poetic.
The language of Wang's poems is implicit, fresh and lively, with varied sentence patterns and rhythms, loud and harmonious phonology and musical beauty. In a word, Wang Wei's landscape poems have a far-reaching influence on later generations, both in subject matter and artistic style.
