Wang Wei in Tang Dynasty
From a distance, the mountains are high and the clouds are light, and the colors are bright. When you look closer, you can only hear the sound of water, but there is no sound.
Spring has passed, but there are still many flowers and flowers. People go nearby, but the birds are still not disturbed.

Distinguish and appreciate
The mountains in the distance are often blurred, but the mountains in the picture are very clear. If you listen to running water nearby, you should hear the sound of water, but the running water in the painting is silent. Flowers in full bloom in spring will fade with the passage of spring. And the flowers on the painting are in full bloom no matter what season. When people get close to the bird sitting on the branch, it will fly away in horror. But the bird in the picture can't fly even if you come near it. The whole poem seems to violate the laws of nature, but in fact it is a secret riddle, which shows the characteristics of this painting.
Looking at the mountains from a distance,
The distant mountains are smiling, and the colorful mountains are good. What is colored? Comely, handsome, red, wet, green and drooping are colors, so are cool gray, and so are strange and steep pictures. It is only because it is far away that it produces beauty and makes people feel that it has unlimited scenery. This is a kind of "serenity", and the beauty of serenity is beyond the reach of the first sentence, because only people with meditation can appreciate it. This is like the Chun Xue, which drove the Xialiba people out of the art space from the beginning. Cancelled the qualification of impetuous people to appreciate beauty. Here, there is no impetuousness, only calm as water. But not stagnant water, but living water. Do you think there is water in the painting? A spring water poured out with irresistible kindness. A flowing beauty jumps into the poet's eyes.
Listen to the water silently.
The source of flowing water is "dynamic environment", while the word "silent" enters the static environment, which is quiet and far-reaching. There is no contradiction with the first sentence. The poet can say that he can easily choose between dynamic and static. What is so amazing? It's too quiet, it's hard to give up, it's hard to find. In this way, we will be close to this poem and this painting, and our hearts will be close to the mountains and rivers. The beauty of all things is only because of "quietness". Silence is a beauty. In Wang Xizhi's poem, "Walking on a shady road is like swimming in a mirror" is also this kind of beauty. Sound and silence are dissolved together, the perfect sound of nature! This is what Zhuangzi called "nature". When "natural sound" and "human voice" and "earth sound" are together, a kind of natural sound that ordinary people can't say is formed.
Spring has passed, but there are still many flowers and flowers. People go nearby, but the birds are still not disturbed.
Flowers bloom heartily in that most beautiful season, and finally open life to the most beautiful. After the beauty reaches the extreme, it floats away. But the flowers don't fade, just because they are in the painting. Not only that, but also the flowers in the painting. By the end of spring, the flowers were gone, and the feeling of sadness was everywhere.
Birds are not surprised. They don't know that their youth is over and the years have passed. How many regrets have been left.
The painting in the poem seems to represent a dream, an invisible dream, but that kind of dream can only be remembered when the human mind is in a quiet state. But it's impossible. It's true. Poets can only look for the last thing in the world that can be entrusted with a touch of meditation. People leave, flowers stay in the air, birds are not surprised, people come again, there is no eternal beauty, all beauty will be hidden in illusion.
