Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, once said: "There are pictures in poetry, which are fascinating; Look at the picture, there are poems in the picture. " The man praised by Su Shi as having pictures in poetry is Wang Wei.
Wang Wei writes poems and is good at expressing feelings with scenery. The scenery in his poems is vivid and patchwork. Reading his poems will make us feel immersive and can be understood without words.
Wang Wei is a famous pastoral poet, and his poems and paintings all come from nature. The landscape in his paintings is full of charm, the colors and images of mountains are vivid, flowers and trees are in front of him, and the flowing spring seems to hear the gurgling sound. Appreciating his landscape paintings is like reading an exquisite poem, which is distinct and vivid.
Wang Wei's poems and paintings are perfectly integrated, reaching a seamless state. His poems are picturesque and poetic. Whether it is "moonlight in the pine forest, crystal stone in the stream", "the stream sings on the winding rock, and the sun is reconciled by the pines" or "the rapids hum on the piled rocks, but the light becomes dim in the dense pine trees", they all show us a wonderful picture.
Wang Wei was a famous poet and painter in the Tang Dynasty. In his creative practice, he often permeates and blends the two artistic features of poetry and painting. His paintings are full of poetry. The existing painting "Snow on the Mountain" is concise and clear, which has the effect of being far away. The whole picture presents the same quiet and lonely interest and profound artistic conception as his poems, which can arouse people's rich associations.
His poems, such as "An egret flies over a quiet wetland and a mango bird sings in a tree in midsummer" ("In my Wangchuan cabin after a long rain"), draw lessons from the color contrast and light contrast of paintings; Another example is "the smoke in the desert is straight, and the long river sets the yen" ("Climbing to the Top"), which pays attention to the complete unity of line drawing and composition; Another example is "the white water is outside the field and the blue peak is behind the mountain" ("Looking at the New Sunny"), which draws the far and near levels of the scenery and is full of painting.
