We have launched "The Way of Nature in Poetry" to share with you the charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture. Welcome to the [email protected]
Jungnam Mountain
Tang Wang Wei Taiyi is close to the sky, connecting the mountains to the sea. The white clouds look back, and the blue mist enters to see nothing. The peaks in the field change, and the clouds and sunshines are different.
If you want to stay with someone, ask the woodcutter across the water.

Wang Xi
Zhongnan Mountain is the mountain in Wang Wei's heart, and it is also the place where his life belongs.
Famous mountains meet guests, just like people meet confidants. For thousands of years, Zhongnanshan has been favored by literati as the theme of poetry creation. From the "Shou of Nanshan" in the "Book of Songs" of the pre-Qin Dynasty, to the "Lingshan Dide" written by Shen Yue in the Southern Dynasty, and then to the Kaiyuan and Tianbao years of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai and Cen Shen swayed "beautiful and difficult to name" and "climb close to the edge of the sun...... Zhongnan Mountain, Wang Wei is not the only one who admires and sings. However, the mountain in Wang Wei's pen is not only majestic and magnificent, but also has a little more feelings of interdependence between people and landscapes.
In the first three parts of the poem, he transforms his thoughts into endless clouds, steaming, entangled in the mountains and valleys, all the way to swallow the thick ink and emerald, circling and rolling, stretching for thousands of miles, looking at the changing clouds and sunshine in the north and south of the Qinling Mountains, the majestic and magnificent trend, but in the tail couplet, he suddenly returns to the natural tranquility: "If you want to stay with people, ask the woodcutter across the water." "This ordinary deep mountain asking for directions looks a bit bland at first glance, but it is full of natural and true interest when you look at it again. It is like a magnificent splashed ink landscape painting, which is instantly vivid because of the embellishment of woodcutters and tourists.
Wang Wei has retreated to the mountains and forests four times in his life. Zhuangzi's idea of "heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things are one with me" expresses Wang Wei's feelings for mountains and rivers, and also shows his way of getting along with nature: integrating body and mind into the mountains, not disturbing or rendering, quietly gazing at the natural development of mountains, rivers and plants, and depicting the true appearance of mountains and rivers. His Zhongnan Mountain, white clouds, green mist, mountains, and ravines are all found from the mountains, without a trace of immortal roads, politics and religion, witch wind and other unnatural factors, and there is no need for metaphors, historical theories, and allusions to extend and compare, but with the purity of nature, depicting a shocking charm of mountains and rivers.
Not only "Zhongnan Mountain", but also in Wang Wei's poems, you can see the posture of the four seasons changing and the growth and change of all things almost everywhere: the mountains turn green, the autumn water is murmuring, the flowers are red calyx, and the birdsong is deep...... He captures the wonderful and subtle rhythm of plants and trees in the way of contemplation, and presents everything, encompasses everything, and explains everything with real scenes. The clear landscape reflects the comfort of man and nature interdependent.
In the more than 60 years of Wang Wei's life, his footprints have traveled to Chang'an, Longxi, Jingchu, and Lingnan, and he has affectionately described the Rim River, Songshan Mountain, Desert, and Shu Road...... Thousands of years later, together with the splendid mountains and rivers in the poem, it is the Chinese nation's consistent pursuit of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
In order to maintain the authenticity and integrity of the landscape ecology, protect the lucid waters and lush mountains, and build a beautiful China, the people of the world today have made many efforts: for example, to speed up the implementation of the "Shanshui Project" and strive to improve the diversity, stability and sustainability of important ecosystems, for example, to build a nature reserve system with national parks as the main body to protect biodiversity and ecological security barriers, for example, to scientifically carry out land greening, thicken the "green foundation", improve the living environment, and make green the most beautiful ecological background.
During the reign of Tang Tianbao, Wang Wei found an elegant residence in the Zhongnan Valley-Gongchuan Beiye. In this quiet garden, "the mountain is green and white clouds", "the tender bamboo contains new powder", "the shade is green and moss", and "the red calyx in the mountain" are all bright and gorgeous colors of nature. Today, more than 1,200 years later, the spring picture scroll of beautiful China is unfolded, the cherry blossoms in Jiangcheng are like snow in the sun, the tea mountains in Yuhang are lush and green, the terraced fields in Dongchuan are as red as fire, the Chaka salt lake is blue and clear, and the magnificent rivers and mountains of the motherland come into view.
