Wang Wei, the word Mo (1). In 692 ad? -76 1 year (2). Originally from Taiyuan (now Qixian County, Shanxi Province), his father moved to Zhou Pu (now Luoxian County, Shanxi Province). In the ninth year of Kaiyuan (AD 72 1), he was a scholar with a right official position, so he was called Wang Youcheng. The old and new books in the Tang Dynasty are all handed down. Wang Wei is a versatile figure. He is not only good at poetry and painting, but also highly accomplished in music. Biography of Talented Talents in Tang Dynasty said: "At the age of nine, you can be a poet, a worker and a refined temperament. ..... Uygur poetry is in the top grade, and so is painting thinking. As far as mountains and rivers are concerned, clouds are full of stone colors, which are created by cats and cannot be learned. ................................................................................................................................................................................. is right, that's it. " There is a collection of poems "Wang Youcheng Collection" and a painting handed down from ancient times "Cloudy Rain in Lantian". Su Dongpo once praised: "There are pictures in poetry, which are fascinating. Look at the picture, there are poems in the picture. " Wang Wei's poetry creation can be divided into two periods. Most of the previous works reflect reality and have a relatively progressive political tendency. In the 26th year of Kaiyuan (AD 738), Zhang Jiuling dismissed from office and was disappointed with the officialdom. His poems are mainly about landscapes and pastoral areas. Meng Haoran is Wang and Meng. The achievements are very high, and later generations enjoy a high reputation.
Unlike now, there were advanced means of transportation such as airplanes and trains in ancient times. The traffic is very backward, and there are many situations in a few years. Therefore, the ancients were very emotional about parting and regarded the farewell ceremony as very important. Literati and writers often give poems to each other as a sign of parting or mutual encouragement. This kind of poetry is generally based on stories that are inseparable and painful. Wang Wei's "Cheng Wei Qu" is not the case. Although this poem also expresses sadness and melancholy when leaving, it can be seen that the poet is somewhat broad-minded in his poem. "Weicheng is light (easy) in the rain, and the guest house is green and willow. I advise you to have another glass of wine. There is no reason to go out. " It rained in Mao Mao just this morning on the Acropolis, washing away the dust on the road. The scenery in front of us has also become extraordinarily fresh. The willow tree in front of the hotel is also more charming because of the rain. Willow branches swaying in the wind add to the sadness of parting. It's a long way to say goodbye, and friends have come to say goodbye to you. Let's say goodbye in front of this hotel in Yangliuyiyi. My friend, let me propose a toast to you first. I wonder when we can get together again. Have another drink, my friend. I'm afraid that after today, you will be thousands of miles away from Yangguan, and no one will accompany you for a good drink. Take care, my friend! ! ! The first two paragraphs of the poem indicate the time and season, and highlight the farewell with willow color (there is a custom of folding willows to bid farewell in ancient times). The last two sentences turned into lyricism, which showed the author's broad-minded feelings, although he felt melancholy at the moment of parting. Because this poem is fresh and lovely, with sincere feelings, it expresses the aspirations of thousands of people in Qian Qian and has a strong sense of music. So it was widely sung at the farewell banquet in the Tang Dynasty. An unknown musician adapted this poem and set it to music, and named it "Yangguan Ci". Therefore, except for the first sentence, the other three sentences were sung twice, which is also called "Yang Guan San Die". The whole word is as follows: "It was raining in Weicheng, and the dust was light for a while. Sprinkle it all over the guest house, make it soft and green, and make it colorful. The guest room is greener, and thousands of willows are new. Don't worry, I advise you to drink more wine, life will be less, fame and fortune have been divided since ancient times, don't blame your appearance for losing weight. Don't worry, I suggest you have another glass of wine. I'm afraid you'll run to the sun in the west, and you'll swim like a dream, for no reason. I'm afraid there is no one in front. " Sing three sighs, it's amazing. Musicians' talent is also extraordinary. This song was sung until the Song Dynasty. In addition, other poets in the Tang Dynasty also mentioned many times in their poems, "Don't refuse to get drunk when you meet, and listen to the fourth sound of Yangguan." Bai Juyi's wine. "What old people have to do is sing a rope with hospitality." What's wrong with the singer by rachel. This poem was very popular at that time.
