Appreciation of ancient poetry
This poem is one of Wang Wei's representative landscape poems, Wangchuan Collection. This poem depicts the quiet scenery of empty mountains and deep forests near Chai Lu at sunset.
The first sentence "There seems to be no one on an empty mountain" directly describes the loneliness and tranquility of an empty mountain. The reason why the mountain is "empty" is because it is barren. The word "not seeing people" embodies "emptiness" The second sentence "however, I think I heard a voice" contrasts the overall silence with the local voice. Although there is no one in the mountains at ordinary times, it will not be silent. The word "but smell" excludes all rustling wind, gurgling water, chirping insects and chirping birds, and only hears a few occasional "voices". On the surface, these "human voices" seem to have broken the silence. In fact, after a while, the empty mountain returned to the realm of silence.
Three or four sentences, "There, the sunshine entered a small forest and reflected light from the green moss", set off the darkness and cold in the depths of the forest with the setting sun. It stands to reason that the description of the dark realm should avoid the light, but the poet just wrote "where the sun shines, enter a small forest." At first glance, this weak oblique light seems to bring a glimmer of light to the dark forest belt, but in fact it is just the opposite. When the afterglow of "returning to the scenery" shines on the moss through mottled tree shadows, the sharp contrast between that small piece of light and a large piece of darkness makes the darkness of the deep forest more prominent. Moreover, "returning to the scene" is not only weak, but also short-lived. A touch of afterglow disappears in an instant, followed by a longer darkness.
Wang Wei's "Time goes by, only give me peace, and everything will not be disturbed" (reply to Zhang's deputy envoy). The works in Wangchuan Collection mainly describe the beautiful state of natural scenery. The predecessors thought that these poems won the Zen theory without talking about Zen machine, forgot the life experience and lost all thoughts. This reflects Wang Wei's negative thought of ignoring reality in his later years, but the expression of "painting in poetry" in these poems has immortal aesthetic value.
