There was no one in the empty mountain, but there was a sound of people. Return to the deep forest and look back at the moss.
"Lu Chai" is Wang Wei's masterpiece, and he describes a spiritual home in 20 words. Through his description, people feel cool, cozy, and light and affectionate. It is often said that the charm of poetry is eternal, and it still shines with the passage of time. This statement is very reasonable, whenever I read "empty mountains do not see people", I walk into the world created by Wang Wei and hide in the happy land in the hearts of the literati.
Wang Wei is versatile, can write poetry, paint, and is proficient in musical rhythm. It is said that when he first arrived in Chang'an, in addition to writing poetry, he would also participate in aristocratic banquets and play the guqin to help entertain. Princess Taiping admired Wang Wei's talent, and the nobles of Chang'an City looked up to him.
There are talents, there are opportunities, but they have not been able to develop their ambitions. Perhaps because of his close contacts with the nobility, he was repeatedly suppressed in the official arena. Wang Weiso lived in seclusion in zhongnan Mountain and enjoyed the fun of pastoral life.
According to this, some people put forward the idea that he pretended to live in seclusion to accumulate strength for the comeback. Further, it was judged that Wang Wei lacked sincerity in his personality, and his poems lacked a little sincerity.
Is this really the case? After reading "Lu Chai", I know that if he did not have a sincere investment, he would not use poetry to describe a world and earth. The literati of the Jin Dynasty had a peach blossom in their hearts, and Wang Wei had a silent mountain forest in his heart.
Wang Wei built a garden in Zhongnan Mountain and named it "Yuanchuan Beiye". Wang Wei named twenty scenic spots, and Luchai was one of them. He works on the theme of secluded space, hoping to let everyone find a spiritual home.
The mountain is empty and clear, and there is no one to see, but you can faintly hear someone talking. Only hearing its voice, not seeing its people, Wang Wei certainly did not want to describe the scene of the preemptive seizure. He described it in order to highlight the lush, cold and silent forest in the mountains. The grass is luxuriant, so you can't see the figure. The surroundings are pure, and even the slightest sound can be heard.
Such a quiet and pleasant place will make people put down their baggage and return to the most relaxed state. Relaxation is for enjoyment, relaxation is for integration into nature. Not everyone can live in seclusion in the mountains and forests like Wang Wei, and Wang Weisuo uses poems to guide everyone into the imaginary space.
Unconsciously, in the evening, the sunset shines deep into the forest. Golden shimmers shine through the trees, illuminating the moss in the shadows. Wang Wei first described how good this space is, and then added the realism of the space from the details. Is it not very like the method used in painting, this is the characteristic of Wang Wei's painting in poetry.
There is a sense of picture, there is a sense of substitution, and you can empathize with Wang Wei. Read a poem, walk into the world of poetry with Wang Wei, and enjoy the beauty of the poem. Unfinished, lingering, and even want to emulate Wang Wei's attitude to life and return to the mountains.
