The poetic school represented by Wang Wei and Meng Haoran, which was formed in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, is also called the pastoral school. Later generations also called Wang Meng's poetic school in order to highlight their outstanding role in the pastoral school. This school has both the strengths of Tao Yuanming's and Schell's poems, with pastoral poems and secluded life as the main themes, and its style dilutes nature. Meng Haoran's life experience is relatively simple, and the theme of poetry creation is relatively simple.
Meng Haoran's poems got rid of the narrow realm of chanting things in the early Tang Dynasty, expressed more personal hugs, brought fresh breath to Kaiyuan poetry circle, and won people's admiration at that time. Meng Haoran was the first poet who wrote landscape poems in the Tang Dynasty and the forerunner of Wang Wei. His travels are vividly described, and Dongting Lake's letter to Premier Zhang is magnificent.
