1. Both Wang Wei's and Meng Haoran's pastoral poems belong to the Qing school, but Meng Haoran's style is lighter. Meng Haoran's landscape poetry creation is obviously influenced by Xie Lingyun and Zhang Jiuling, and its light style comes down in one continuous line. Some of Meng Haoran's poems are so light that it is doubtful that there is any poem at all. Such as the poem "Wan Shan Tan Zuo"
: "Fishing and sitting on a rock, the water is clear and the heart is idle. Fish swam around in the shade of trees, and apes hung on the branches to fight. The story of the goddess Yu Pei is said to have happened on this mountain. If you can't get it, sing along with the moon. "
The artistic conception of the whole poem is light, and the poet's mood is also leisurely, clean, broad-minded and indifferent. It can be said that this poem belongs to Jing Qing, with clear artistic conception and clear artistic conception. Wang Wei's landscape poems are more meaningful than simple leisure. It seems to be written casually, but it is vivid, subtle and meaningful.
2. Wang Wei is a master of southern painting school, and his pastoral poems pursue the beauty of rhythm and charm. Meng Haoran's pastoral poems show people the beauty of nature and humanity, and have a strong regional cultural color. Thirdly, from a natural point of view, Meng's poems are mostly dynamic travel notes, while Wang's poems are mostly static sketches; In the way of lyricism, Meng's poems emphasize subjective lyricism, while Wang's poems emphasize objective description; In terms of creative techniques, Meng's poems focus on poetic techniques, which are fluent and smooth, and Wang's poems are refined and elegant. In terms of genre, Meng's poems emphasize five words, while Wang pays equal attention to poetic style and work; In style, Meng's poems are more sparse, while Wang's poems are more exquisite and beautiful besides being diluted. The difference between Wang Meng's creation shows the time evolution of landscape pastoral poetry from one side.
Fourthly, Wang Wei's pastoral poems contain profound Buddhist and Zen interest, while Meng Haoran's poems have no Zen interest at all. In Wang Wei's pastoral poems, there is a meeting point between poetic realm and Zen realm, which is connected with each other: Zen is far-reaching and gives people a quiet and peaceful reverie. However, Meng's poems have no Zen meaning.
In short, if Meng Haoran
On the basis of fully absorbing the expressive techniques of southern landscape poetry, Wang Wei opened up a new realm of northern landscape pastoral poetry, and realized the artistic ideal of blending Han Wei style with Qi and Liang Ci style with magnificent and fresh natural style. If Meng Haoran's landscape poems are based on emotion, but less description, they win by diluting images; Then Wang Wei is better at portraying morphological features accurately and expressing rich feelings with carefully constructed pictures, so his landscape is more vivid than Meng Haoran in both color and composition.
