Wang Wei was a great poet in the Tang Dynasty after Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi. His poetry style seems to be tranquil and leisurely, and he is a hermit poet and landscape idyllic poet after Tao Yuanming, just like Li Bai is a poet immortal Du Fu is a poet saint, Wang Wei is known as a poetic Buddha.
Wang Wei's poetry covers a wide range of subjects, but he is particularly good at landscape and pastoral themes. The poetry is a blend of scenes, poetic and picturesque, and there is a kind of musical beauty and pictorial beauty. Su Dongpo praised his works for having paintings in poems and poems in paintings.
Wang Wei was both a poet and a high-ranking official, and later became a scholar. Among the many poets of the Tang Dynasty, he was the luckiest, and it can be said that he was much stronger than Li Bai Dufu. But he also made mistakes, and was forced to accept a false position in the Anshi Rebellion, and almost lost his life.
Wang Wei is well aware of the risks of his career, and he hesitates on the road to WTO entry and birth, and it is difficult to make decisions. Accession to the WTO is risky, and birth has cut off economic resources. He emulated Tao Yuanming, but in the end he still did not have the courage of Tao Yuanming to release the seal and return to the field.
After thinking twice, Wang Wei chose to be half-official and half-hidden. He stayed idle in Gongchuan Beiye, did not ask about world affairs, and only played with Pei Dixiucai, who lived in seclusion here, and sang poems and wines. Let's take a look at a poem he wrote to Pei Di Xiucai.
"Gongchuan Idle Residence Presents Pei Xiucaidi" Wang Wei
The cold mountains turn green, and the autumn water is murmuring.
Leaning on the cane outside the firewood door, listening to the twilight cicadas in the wind.
The sun sets over the ferry, and there is lonely smoke in the ruins.
The complex value is drunk, and the song is in front of the five willows.
This poem is a five-character poem, and the poem depicts the ambition of Wang Wei and Peidi who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, transcending things. In the poem, Wang Wei compares Pei Di with public opinion and Tao Yuanming with himself, expressing the taste of seclusion and leisure, and portraying the image of two hermits.
The first two lines of the poem, "The cold mountains turn green, and the autumn water is murmuring", describes the autumn scenery in the mountains. In the evening, the green leaves of the day become darker as the light dimens.
In the evening, the birds and birds return to their nests, the woodcutters go home, the empty mountains are silent, and the flowing water of the mountain stream seems to be more noisy. The poem of the royal book of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, "The cicada noise forest is more quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded", may be written in this situation.
Three or four sentences "leaning on the cane outside the firewood door, listening to the twilight cicada in the wind", write about the poet's leisurely life. They leaned on their crutches and sat by the door of the wood and straw, and listened leisurely to the cries of knowledge coming from the twilight.
In the poem, "Chaimen" is a typical image of seclusion in a mountain village. And "leaning on a stick" reminds people of Tao Yuanming's "helping the old to rest". Riding on crutches, it highlights the image of a calm and relaxed elderly.
Five or six sentences "the sunset on the ferry, the lonely smoke in the ruins" write the unique scenery of the mountain village. A sun hangs over the riverside ferry, and the afterglow of the setting sun floats on the water. People went home and started cooking dinner, and wisps of cooking smoke rose from the rooftops.
Here, the "sunset" is a natural romantic scenery, and the "lonely smoke" is the breath of fireworks in the world, and the poet seizes the moment of dusk to describe it, reflecting the integration and coordination of man and nature. People are uninhibited and idle.
The last two sentences of the poem, "Complex value is drunk, and the song is in front of the five willows", writing that the two of them are intoxicated by the mountains and rivers. Pei Di was like Chu Mania in the Spring and Autumn Period, drinking and singing. Wang Wei seems to be Tao Yuanming, chanting poems in the shade of the willow tree in front of the door.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the world, it seems to be a paradise. Wang Wei and Peidi live here idlely, without scruples. They are tranquil and relaxed, detached from the outside world, and fully demonstrate human nature.
In general, the first four sentences of Wang Wei's poem "Rim River Idle Residence Gift to Pei Xiucaidi" depict a fascinating landscape idyllic painting of Rim River twilight. The last four sentences depict people, scenery and characters, alternating lines, and a blend of scenes, depicting the images of two hermits, reflecting their pastoral joy and deep friendship.
