Literature and art are the sum of the writer's life feelings. As a novelist with outstanding achievements in contemporary literary creation, Zhang Wei, an award-winning writer of the Mao Dun Literature Award, has a deep achievement in the appreciation of classical literature. He wrote Su Dongpo's "Banlan Zhi", which has many fresh and unique features. After that, wang wei, Han Yu, Bai Juyi, Du Mu and Li Shangyin were selected as five important poets of the Tang Dynasty, and continued to speak. The revised manuscript of the lecture was published by the People's Literature Publishing House as "Five Poets of the Tang Dynasty", which is Zhang Wei's sixth treatise on classical Chinese poetry, which is full of unique insights, creativity and insight. He has great respect and deep love for Han Yue, clear analysis and insight into Wang Wei and Bai Juyi, joy and admiration for the late Tang Dynasty "Li Du", and special love for Li Shangyin's untitled poems.
Under Zhang Wei's pen, every poet has been vigorously "resurrected" in modern times.
In Zhang Wei's view, human nature determines poetry. Poets' sense of morality, values, identities, and positions form the basis of their creation. Poetry is the carrier of the artistic pursuit of the ancients, but also a way of life to seek self-consistency, Wang Wei, Han Yu, Bai Juyi, Du Mu, Li Shangyin, the five poets of different poetic styles, reflect their different life pursuits and spiritual character. The poet writes poetry, the change of style, is a story of constantly convincing himself and settling himself.

In addition to Li Bai's "going south and breaking into the north"
Most artists still prefer to have a safe place to live
These five poets, all of whom are celebrities, have been interpreted by generations of people for many years. To interpret new ideas and creative ideas, it is actually a test of people's vision and skills. Zhang Wei's analysis is very exciting. For example, when he analyzed Wang Wei, he particularly explained a very interesting observation: similar to Wang Wei's "Yuanchuan Beiye", many writers and artists around the world have a common dream: the desire to live in peace. And whether this dream is realized or not is very important for the creative achievement of his artistic works.
Zhang Wei mentioned that artists can be roughly divided into two types: one needs to settle themselves well, and the other goes south and north. Wang Wei belongs to the former. In the place of "Yuanchuan Beiye", not only did wang Wei and his close friend Pei Di sing and sing the poetry collection "Yuanchuan Collection", but also had great significance for the poet's life and his poetry creation. For Wang Wei, "Yuanchuan" exists first as a material entity, and secondly as a breeding ground and projection place for spirit and art, which has great symbolic significance. It seems to be asserted that without "Yuanchuan", Wang Wei would have lost his good material conditions, and without this life of being both official and hidden, he would not have been able to form a basis for objective description, and he would have lost a certain environment that nurtured the poet's unique poetic style. "It seems that all the past experiences are preparing for the journey to the River, and the road to come after will also start from here." He wrote poems because of The River, which ranked first in the number of poems he had achieved, and the River was also the place where he lived the longest. Perhaps we can assert that without Yuanchuan, there would be no Wang Wei's unique poetic style, no formation, consolidation and development of his worldview. ”
Zhang Wei analyzed that Li Bai belonged to the latter, and he wandered around the land, tossing and turning, as if he had never stopped in his life. Du Fu seems to be somewhere in between, when he was young, he was "debauched and Zhao Jian, Qiu Ma was quite crazy" ("Grand Tour"), and later had a Chengdu Caotang and also operated an orchard: "Miscellaneous Red is opposite, he is not as good as Jinshi." The boat will go out of the gorge, and the patrol garden will carry a hoe. Overall, most artists still like to have a safe place to live and operate a land and a garden, but most of them suffer from not having such conditions. Not only artists, but everyone: the desire to live in peace.
"The body has a foothold, and the spirit can also have a point of strength"
Zhang Wei mentioned that this phenomenon is not only a Chinese literati, but a world-class phenomenon. For example, Tolstoy's Yasnaya Manor, Faulkner's Tamarind Villa, etc., there are many similarities.
After the defeat of the French Revolution, Hugo also built a four-storey "high-city villa" on the British island of Guenzi when he was exiled, and built a watchtower as a workshop, which became the commanding height of the whole island, and when the weather was clear, he could overlook the French coast. The watchtower is decorated with a bizarre picture of the petals of the flower that he personally depicted, and the vault and four walls are made of glass. On this sunny, sea-and-sky top floor, Hugo wrote novels such as Les Misérables, Sea Laborers, And The Smiley Man, and a literary criticism monograph on Shakespeare.
Dickens in England was regarded as a wanderer, but he also operated more than one base and settled in the famous "Gates Hill" in his later years. Mark Twain of the United States traveled the world and lectured everywhere, but still ran the comfortable "Hartford Villa". It was in this house that he spent the sun and the moon in peace, leaving behind a large number of popular works. Jack London, an American writer who worked as a newsboy, dock worker, sailor, worker, and gold digger, once spent all his savings to build a luxury villa "Wolf's Den", hoping to spend the rest of his life here, but unfortunately destroyed by a fire.
Hemingway was a lifelong restless figure, hunting in Africa, bullfighting in Spain, traveling the world, and having experienced two plane crashes. He braved bullets and bullets to work as a Red Cross ambulance driver during World War I, went deep into the front lines of the Spanish Civil War as a war correspondent during World War II, and visited Chongqing, China. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Hemingway not only changed his yacht to a cruiser, scouting German submarines in the Caribbean, but also participated in the Allied liberation of Paris. Hemingway's life seems to be a legend of wandering and wandering, but it is such a person who has established several creative bases: Key West in the United States, and "Overlook Villa" in Cuba.
The same is true of most of the oil painters in the West, such as Picasso,who in his later years built a huge fortress in Cannes on the coast of southern France, nicknamed "the lair of the Minotaur.". On a hillside in the Seine Valley of France, there is the rest of the Impressionist master Monet in the second half of his life: the nearby river is cleverly introduced, forming a pond, divided into two parts: a water garden and a garden. It was here that Monet completed the famous "Water Lilies" and "Nihonbashi" series.
Why is that? Zhang Wei believes that "a person can live in peace, the body has a foothold, the spirit can also have a point of strength, and creation can be expected." ”
