(A) "Painting in Poetry" means painting in poetry.
Wang Wei observes the objective world with the eyes of poets and painters. With his long-term seclusion between mountains and rivers, his unique sensitivity to nature and skillful application of painting theory, he carefully cut out the most distinctive watercolors in nature and wrote them in poems. With poetry and painting, landscape poetry and landscape painting permeate and blend with each other. His landscape poems not only reflect the beauty of composition, color and modeling, but also fully show the short-term performance of watercolor in time and space.
This is a great development of landscape poetry creation since the Six Dynasties. It incorporates the artist's ingenuity, captures the essence of the beauty of natural landscapes in order to look like a spirit, and overcomes the shortcomings of being bound by complicated appearances and describing too carefully. Wang Wei broke through the technique of recording and describing landscape poets, and entered poetry by painting, which made landscape poetry rich and vivid in poetic beauty.
(B) "Similar in form and spirit" ethereal beauty
Wang Wei's landscape poems not only inherited the fine brushwork of Xie Lingyun (Xie Tiao) and paid attention to the advantages of images and true feelings, but also incorporated Zen into poems, which made landscape poems leap from direct feeling and direct narration to a new stage of longing, that is, from "similarity in form" to "similarity in spirit". Therefore, his landscape poems are ethereal and diluted, elegant and far-reaching, with endless implications and eternal.
(C) the sound of harmony and unity beauty
Wang Wei has a special musical accomplishment. When writing landscape poems, he can feel and grasp the natural sounds of mountains and rivers more keenly than others. He expressed vividly through refined and poetic language. Poets not only integrate musical skills into poems and write rhythmic natural sounds of mountains and rivers, but also convey the poet's feelings through some acoustic features, revealing the ethereal agility of harmony between man and nature. There is a saying in the Book of Rites. The essence lies in the feelings of people and things. "Different stereos will produce different feelings. Wang Wei integrated ordinary acoustics into his poems to show the vitality of natural ecology, and deliberately played different acoustics on the heartstrings to show his different moods. This is Wang Wei's landscape poems deliberately depicting the poetry and charm brought by natural acoustics.
